Awesome. Thanks. The less paperwork the better!

Hi All, First, good luck to all who are waiting to hear from CIC about their own application or their spouses. My husband landed back in August 2014. We've been enjoying our "normal" life together in Canada as a married couple. Since we hadn't been married for 2 years when we applied, he had...

Thanks for the reply, rhcohen. :) An update to anyone else who may find themselves in our situation - you ARE covered. We went into ServiceOntario today and she told us his coverage kicked in after 3 months and he just needs to contact the hospital and provide his new health card number. For...

Hi All, So my husband landed in Ontario back in August 2014 (he moved up at the same time he landed). However, being the procrastinator he is, he didn't get around to applying for his OHIP card after the 3 month waiting period. I guess he just got used to having no insurance in the US and it...

Have they asked you for proof yet? I had to provide proof I lived in Canada (which I did). They asked via email to my husband. It wasn't a big hassle and definitely not worth spending money on legal help. I provided bank statements (with lots of "Canadian" charges), a copy of my lease, pay...

I ordered GCMS notes after our entire application was complete out of curiosity and to answer questions like this for our own file. While we sent our required information in 45 days before it was due, according to the notes, it wasn't even looked at until after the due date CPP-Ottawa gave us...

I am not familiar with what the HYTA program is, however, if the offence is something that would appear on your FBI check, they will look further into it. My American husband had a misdemeanor charge from 10 years ago when we applied. We had to provide a court judgement document from the state...

Hubby landed Aug 25th and has not received his PR yet.

We finally got ours. 90 days after ordering them. The first time we ordered they came within 30 days. So who knows what happens with CIC.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I know that. But, for the sake of applying for citizenship, those 2 years with Condition 51 hold the same weight as 2 years without, yes? Besides having to physically reside with your sponsor for 2 years, there are no other differences in PR status, correct?

Besides having to live with your spouse for 2 years (again, not an inconvenience in my eyes), how is the PR status any different? It all still counts the same towards citizenship, correct?

I don't get it - is this a joke? Having my husband live with me for 2 years after landing seems like a pretty normal thing to do. Living apart from each other was much more inconvenient.

Florida bear, my Floridian husband has definitely brought up some similar observations! He gets so mad at me when I slip and say "St. Pete's". :P. I was in a wedding this past weekend and my husband was sitting with a guy who thought he could bring up all his anti-government conservatism as...

Hmmm.... that is an idea! May look into that tomorrow.

We requested ours June 3rd. ATIP finally contacted us admitting they were very late, they didn't have an excuse, and they would pass them on when they can. Let's see what happens come 90 days after ordering them. I wonder if I could get a refund... In the meantime, my husband heard from...

Regardless of whether you decide to tell him at this point or not (though I'm with the majority and think a healthy relationship is an honest one), make sure to keep additional proof of fulfilling the condition. When my husband landed, the officer told him that we need to be ready to prove to...

My eagle has LANDED! They were very friendly and relaxed at the border (Peace Bridge). They made jokes, recommended citizenship ASAP, and the officer told my husband "Canada expects great things from you!". Luckily, we beat a big crowd of people landing after us. The importation of goods was...

Thanks both keesio and MizAngel. Also, we have to fill out another B4 form for goods to follow, right? There isn't a separate form? He doesn't have much, so if we don't utilize all the spaces, we don't need to fill a B4A, correct? Thanks a ton.

Morning everyone! Quick question - my hubby is landing tomorrow and I'm in the US helping organizing what goods he's bringing with him. While most things are easy to list, especially as he is not bringing much, is it permissible to do a "knick-knacks" category with the few remaining goods that...

Hi all! We finally received COPR yesterday and our landing date is August 26th. It has been a long journey, but so close now! :D
