Hi all, I sent in my PR card renewal application March 12. I made a mistake and didn't get tracking at that time. I guess I just figured I could get updates on it online. But I can't seem to link my application because it tells me nothing was found when I try. My PR card expires in May, and...

Hi all, It's been a while since I've been on here thanks to the great advice I received before. I am up to renew my PR card for May and have a few questions. I'd be really grateful for any support just to double-check some things, since this is triggering my old PR anxiety from back when I was...

Hi all, I got my PR almost a year ago now and when I did so the officer made several mistakes that I had to correct her on. So I was reorganizing my documents yesterday, when I got worried that maybe she had made other mistakes on it, so I checked it over. I have a few questions I'd like to...

Hi all, I waited a little bit over 3 months after landing as a PR to look into applying for OHIP. I'm healthy and was happy to be just finished up with PR, so I haven't thought much about it. Is it okay that I've waited for a bit? I was just starting to worry about that and was hoping someone...

Hi all, I just recently became a PR, which I'm very relieved about! But now I'm wondering about taxes for last year. I hope this isn't too off-topic, but this is the forum I have the most trust in, so I wanted to ask here and maybe someone can share some info with me. Up until now, I had...

Hi all, My landing interview is tomorrow at a CIC office. I only got the email a few days ago, so I just want to make sure I've got everything ready as a last minute check. From reading other posts on landings, it seems like the process consists of answering a few basic questions and bringing...

Hi all, I got my CoPR a few days ago. However, the "Personal Details - PA" Section of my CoPR has my marital status listed as "single" when I am common law. My common law partner is even listed on the CoPR, so now I'm confused. How can I fix this? I will contact them but I want to make sure...

Hi all, Recently I got an email from CPC Mississauga requesting my passport, which I think is a good thing judging by what I've read on here before. I have a few questions I was hoping to get some help with regarding the message. 1. The message says to send a prepaid Xpresspost envelope, but...

Hi all, I got a medical request, even though I already sent in one medical upfront with my application. The medical was from December 2016. I guess I'm wondering if I should contact them and see if I really need another one or not? Could this be a mistake or is this just how they do things...

Hi all, We are having trouble writing on the backs of our photos. All of the pens we've tried either don't write well enough or smear and pencils haven't worked for us, either. And now there's a smeared spot on the back of one photo. We'd like to use labels to make it easier and also to cover...

Hi all, My common law partner is sponsoring me and he's working on the employment history section of IMM 5532 for a past job. The problem is that this job was highly variable as far as hours, so he can't come up with a consistent number of hours per month. Does anyone know how specific this...

Hi all, My spouse and I have some questions regarding FBI and medical times. We got our FBI check a bit early, I think. Is it good for 3 or 6 months? On Nov. 29, it'll be 3 months since we got it. We've been rushing to get our PR finished and submitted to CIC by that date due to the FBI check...
