My husband is from the US and has been unemployed for a year. He has a university degree but can't find a job anywhere, despite making connections and sending out HUNDREDS of resumes. It's not racism in his case -- but I'm wondering if it's because he's from the States. He isn't picky and has...

I feel for you. My husband is from the States and has been out of work for 8 months. He's a young, educated man who is honest and a hard worker. I just don't understand it. :(

My husband finally received his PR card yesterday. The letter says it's from the Case Processing Centre in Sydney, Nova Scotia. Wow, what a journey. I'm glad this is finally over. Next: citizenship in 3 years. :)

No, his car is here. My husband had a work permit so it was already plated and insured in Ontario. We just have to export it from the US. We wanted to do it when he landed, but unfortunately it's going to take weeks to get the title and we couldn't afford to wait. We've waited long enough! My...

My husband officially landed yesterday! We went to Port Huron, Michigan and told the border agent that we were just going to turn the car around and go back to Sarnia so that my husband could land as a permanent resident in Canada. They made us pull over, get out of the car, and then checked our...

The hospital will give you a card to take home and you just register online. It's very quick. I didn't bother paying the extra money to have the express service for the birth certificate, and still got it in under a week (I think it was three business days). Not sure about the passport as our...

I'm Canadian and sponsored my American husband. We let them know I was pregnant when he applied for PR, and then told them about our baby when he was born here in Canada. Make sure you get the LONG FORM birth certificate as soon as your baby is born because they will need that one, as it has...

It was the same with my husband's. Valid to 2013/04/27, Medical Details valid to 04/28/2012. They told our MP that they had extended the medicals, so I don't get it. Oh well -- should be fine (I hope!).

Yay!! Congrats!

My husband sent his to the Fort Erie address on May 7th and they received it on the 8th. He had a "decision made" notice on Ecas on May 18th. They mailed the COPR/passport back on June 5th and we received it on the 6th. He used Xpress Post both ways.

Will do! That's great news! That means your passport isn't sitting in a box somewhere. I hope you get it back very soon. Thanks!

Thanks Kiri and calissons. :) All the best to you!

Thank you, and thanks for listening to me when I was down. :) I hope they get everything in order and that you get your PPR quickly!

Thanks so much! That's good to know. Lewiston–Queenston, here we come (once my husband gets the title of his car, which is en route).

Thank you! Question: The letter we received says, "If you are already in Canada and have valid temporary resident status, you now have the choice of either obtaining your permanent resident status in Canada or leaving Canada and re-entering at a port of entry." My husband has a work permit...

Thanks! :) Yes, the worst part is over. That was a very irritating experience, to put it mildly.

COPR just arrived. 13 months of frustration for a piece of paper. lol Now onto the next step....

I'm glad you contacted Ottawa and that they made Buffalo respond to you. They always think they can get away with completely ignoring us on serious matters - and having someone's passport IS a serious matter, especially when they won't give you a straight answer on its whereabouts. Typical...

From this thread: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/passport-submission-buffalo-office-closing-t106563.0.html (Posted by "chappan") ..."I too called Canadian consulate today and pressed Option 7 (for general inquiry). The lady I spoke with said that as long as the...

I was looking at other threads and forums, and apparently they mailed out a bunch on Monday as well. So hopefully that means they are mailing them out every day.
