    CBP records for US Citizen?

    So my husband took his citizenship test today (and passed). He was told he needed to get an I-94 report (record of movement) from CBP because most of our travel to the US was via car so there are no passport stamps. He was given the website http://i94.cbp.dhs.gov (which doesn't work unless you...

    New application, starting to get everything together

    Hello everyone!! After my husband's 13 month PR application we're back and getting ready to file for Citizenship for him. I figured with a 24 month average wait and his PR card good until Oct 2016, best to start now. I started doing our homework and found the online calculator for the number...

    Why importing a car may not be worth the hassel!!

    So I sponsored my husband last year to come to Canada from California and he drove up to stay with me as a visitor last November. His PR was finally approved and he landed Sept 6 and just received his PR card today (he stayed in status the whole time but never returned to Cali). Everything has...

    Request to cancel TRV extension app?

    I read somewhere on the forums that someone who had paid the $75 to extend a visit to Canada was able to get their money back when the PR was processed before the TRV. Anyone recall this and would I send the request to the same place I sent the TRV extension app?

    Passport turnaround time for Buffalo?

    Just wondering if some people who have sent their passport to Buffalo recently might be able to share their turnaround times? My husband has a job offer already and we are anxious to get the passport back now. The email we received stated approximately 15 business days so curious if they are...

    A little bit of irony...

    Well for those who might've caught our progress, my husband had to submit a rehabilitation application in order for his PR to be processed. So we are not anxiously waiting that to be processed since we originally submitted our application back in August of last year. I checked ecas this...

    Letter to the minister after Buffalo "lost" documents

    I had emailed my MP to ask if they could give me an update on our file since we haven't heard anything since Sept (outland, Buffalo). I was told they were waiting on documents that were noted as received in the CAIPS notes we requested. Seems like this is a common theme for many of us going...

    CAIPS Received - August 2010 app

    Hey everyone! After dealing with getting my hubby's stay extended last night (visitor record expired so he flagpoled at Sumas), we just got our CAIPS notes in the mail today! When I first saw the thick envelope from CIC my heart sank (we've been waiting on an email for the PPR) but then I saw...

    Flagpole or extension?

    My husband came up to stay with me while our application is in process at the end of November. When we drove across the border guard gave him a 2 month visitor record which expires on Jan 31. He told us to come back on the 31st with the instructions to stop into the Canadian office first to...

    Import Fish?

    Ok this is probably a silly question, but my husband has a small (10 gallon) fish tank and we're not sure if he can bring his fish with him to Canada. His cat was easy, just needed a rabies vaccine and certificate, but I can't seem to find anything about fish. I'd feel bad if he had to dump...

    Shopping for Vistor medical insurance

    So my husband and I are planning to have him come stay with me after our PR app is submitted but before it has been finalized since we are getting sick and tired of waiting forever (plus I make enough to support him for a few month vacation). Just as background, my husband is a US citizen...

    Income tax question

    I know I have quite a few months before I have to worry about this but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with Canadian Income tax while waiting for the PR process to finish? As the sponsor, I live and work in Canada and pay income tax to CRA. Because I just got married in May of...

    Question on criminal record check

    There is only one thing that I am worried about with my husband's application to come to Canada and that is the criminal record check. I've tried to look up as much information as I can and it seems like we shouldn't have to worry, but I'm looking for any advice possible. My husband received a...

    Unable to get ink fingerprints in California?

    My husband is trying to get his fingerprints done for the FBI criminal record check and he is being told by the police that ink is not used anymore (it is all done electronically). Unfortunately no one there can give him any information on how to go about getting his fingerprints done. Has...
