Sm08 may I ask how long it took for the Etobicoke office to contact you, and when you got your interview date? I am trying to feel for a timeline. TIA.

Hi all. So I got my DM letter in my email finally after over 2 years of waiting. I am so happy I could fart rainbows! On a serious note, can anyone give me any hint as to how long the current wait is to be contacted for the Etobicoke office? I received the DM letter on April 9th. Thanks in...

I've indicated that I've been here FOR the six months but maybe not too clearly. So yes, I've been here as a visitor for 6+ months.

Hi there, I have a question related to OHIP coverage. The last time I came to see my husband, over six months ago, was on a visitor status. Since the US are not required to get visas, that's what I am. Anywho, our sponsorship status stage should be approved any day now, and I am wondering...

For anyone in the same situation, I'll share what the call center told me. The first time they told me to submit a TRV and sent me the email and as I was looking at it I thought, that's not right, because US people don't need a visa. So I called again and got someone much more helpful. They...

Hi there, The call centre is closed so I am wondering if any of you kind folks would be willing to help me answer some questions. The situation: I am from the U.S., so I am visa exempt. I am married to a Canadian. We are going through spousal sponsorship (inland) for PR, but haven't...

That's pretty cool! Do you have to pay for them? I don't see anything about it.

Oops sorry. Yeah, Ontario! Toronto area.

Hello all! As the post states, I am looking to take French language classes for free. Possibly related to the government funding. (I know I am wording these all wrong but I am sick today so please bear with me.) Am I eligible for any government type program where I can take a French class...

Is it possible to apply for the U.S. passport from within Canada? I would have to have to leave my husband again after I was just granted 6 months visit. Thank you for your responses everyone, and Scylla for bringing this up originally. I am grateful you are looking after others. =)...

I know I haven't replied in a while (it's coming) but I just want to say I really appreciate the genuine interest and advice that you all have given me. I think when this is all done and over with I'd like to help others as you are all doing. I see you guys helping others like they are your...

Why exactly is this needed? I looked where I put my passport information into the application and it says "Do you have a Valid passport/travel document" and asks for the number. But the document checklist is still confusing asking for the pages. Even if I got a paper passport now, I...

Hi there, As the subject states, I have a question about my passport. I am applying Inland for PR, and I have a Passport CARD. I was told that I *need* a passport BOOK to apply for PR. I have looked this up to certify this to be true, and the only thing I can find with information is on the...

Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention Scylla. I would not have even known! Applying for a regular passport asap. I owe you. =)

Thank you for sharing your experiences Creampop. I have found myself being interrogated when I try to cross the border every time as well. I KNEW it would mean red flag when it happened. I freaked out over it a long time but now since I keep the document with me 9 times out of 10 I have been...

Thank you computergeek for your willingness to help and share knowledge. I can't tell you how much you have eased my mind. I guess I am still stuck on whether to apply inland or outland. This post kind of nudges me in the inland direction since you say there are less applying there now and...

Also another question just popped up- I'm curious....Why would a visa extension be approved while an inland app is processing....Don't they kind of conflict? The other question I had was that I am from visa exempt, and in the inland app it asks for "indication of your status in canada" what...

Hi guys. I have another question that popped up. How long should I say I'm staying if I plan on extending my status because of applying for the inland app>? Like if I say 2 weeks and they see that I stayed way over that will there be problems when I try to extend? Any advice? ALso, I am...

Thanks so much Scylla!
