I obtained permanent residency last summer via spousal sponsorship, and I have a 2 year condition on it. We recently bought a home and just moved. Am I supposed to contact someone to report the new address for my PR records? If so, to whom/website? Thanks!

We were just wondering what would happen? I got my PR 12 months ago, so we still have another 12 months to go to satisfy the condition. I know it's a morbid thought, but what would happen if my spouse died before the 2 year period? Would I have to go back to my country (US) to live? BTW, my...

They attached a piece of paper called Confirmation of Permanent Residency in my passport when I landed (It says it's not for travel). I already have a PR card. Am I supposed to keep this in my passport or I can detach it now since I have a formal PR card? Thank you!

Do you submit Form 1 and make the payment when you import you car, or before you import the car, or after you import the car? It looks like you can fill out the form online and make the payment, but I wasn't sure if I could do that before I get to the border to do the import, or only when I get...

I just mailed the US border my VIN and TIN numbers and I got a response back from them saying I can export the car after 72 hours, but it says at the beginning of the email in bold red letters saying below.. "The vehicle(s) must be in the U.S. when you submit your VIN and must remain in the...

I got my COPR a couple of weeks ago, and I landed yesterday via Lewiston Bridge. It went smoothly. I didn't get a Canadian flag like someone in this forum mentioned though, but it's all good :) The officer said I would get my PR card in 4-6 weeks and that I can cross the border from the US by...

I just landed yesterday and the border agent wanted to have my car imported. I said I wasn't ready (I haven't even exported my car from US yet but he said he didn't care about that :o). Anyway, he wasn't happy that I wasn't importing it right away (somehow that is illegal?? ) Question 1 - Is...

I am planning to land with my hubby next week. We will drive from Canada to the US, stay at my apartment in NY for a couple of days, and then do the landing when we come back into Canada. So, we can fill up my car with my belongings and those items need to be listed on the B4 form, and all the...

I am going to be landing in a couple of months and I am wondering... How do doctors work? It looks like it is hard to change your primary physician and you always have to go to him/her instead of to a clinic? Any good source that explains the system? (I even heard you can change your primary...

Can I keep my US credit cards when I move to Canada or the credit card companies will take them away from me when I report the address change? I love my CapitalOne Venture card since I earn 2 points (2 miles) for $1 spent... Are there great reward cards like that in Canada?

My status shows DM but my address still shows my old address in California. (I emailed CIC twice and snail mailed them once but still showing the old address.) Who do I need to contact? Can someone tell me what phone number to call? Also, does anyone know if the COPR letter is already sent to...

Hello, We have submitted our sponsorship application at the end of December 2014 and we received our SA a couple of months a go. I have just moved from CA to NY to be closer to my husband who now resides in the Toronto area. I am now settled in the Niagara Falls area with a signed lease (6...

Just curious... how long does it usually take to get the official COPR letter after the status is updated to DM (Decision made)? Of course, it takes longer to receive a letter if your address is very far from Canada, but I am just trying to get a feel for it.

I have been told I could use my sponsor's address as mine? How do I notify this to CIC? Do I just have my sponsor write to the email address he got when he got the SA? I am going to be moving around a bit and it makes more sense that I use my husband's address. BTW, is there any reason that...

I am a US citizen living in Northern California and my husband lives near Toronto (West coast to East coast distance - very far apart). I am resigning from my current position at the beginning of April (I have already given notice to my boss) and am planning to move close to him or just stay...

Now that I have received the SA and in the email it states where my VO is (Ottawa), I can send the FBI check to the address, correct? I just need to mention the application# and UCI# in the envelope? I think that's the next step but I wanted to double check. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Can someone tell me how health care coverage works in Canada? I read somewhere you have to wait something like 6 months after landing before you can get a health card to be able to visit doctors and get the government discounted rate. So even if your Canadian spouse's employer can give you...

Is it OK to do this? I am a US citizen, and I am planning to quit my job, move from California to Buffalo, NY (the closest American city to Kitchener, Ontario), get a tiny little apartment in Buffalo, NY or near there (so I will have an American address with all my packed belongings) and stay...

I have posted this under "Settlement Issues" but I am not getting any responses so I am posting this question here. I usually post all my questions under Family Class Sponsorship anyway, and you guys(/gals) always give me great feedback so I hope someone can help with this question also. Is it...

is it possible to get your pet in Canada before landing? I am considering moving to the NY area from California to be closer to my DH in Kitchener. I am a US citizen so I can visit him for 6 months at a time, but what would I do with my cat? The most natural thing for me to do is to take my cat...
