I applied for a visitor status extension by paper just before my PR was approved. The CIC website says I have to send a written letter asking to withdraw my visitor extension application to the visa office handling that application. This might be a silly question, but do I actually have to send...

So, I just landed today at the Point Roberts/Boundary Bay entry. Yes, you can land there without an issue (for anyone wondering). I had my mother-in-law drive my husband and I down to the border. We told the American side that I'm "flagpoling". He said he had to grab a sticker for my passport...

I'll be landing as a P.R. in a few days at the Point Roberts/Boundary Bay crossing. I do still have belongings in the U.S., but I won't be landing with them and plan to bring them with me at a later date. Do I have to fill out the B4 (I don't remember what it was renamed to) for the goods that I...

Someone posted this in the April Outland 2016 thread, and I thought it would be good to share it: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/2016-06-13.asp "This year, the Government increased the number of spaces allowed for spouses, partners and dependent children by 14 000...

I'm preparing to land as a PR soon, so I've started researching how to get a SIN number, driver's license, BC MSP card, etc... in more detail. So, from everything I've read on the ICBC website, I can easily transfer my Alaska, USA driver's license for a full B.C. license since I have more than...

I remember seeing on here a few times where people have requested some of the photos they sent with the application for proof of relationship back and have received them. I sent off some photos on photo paper with my application and it would be nice to get them back. It's not that important...

So, one month ago I applied to extend my visitor status. I logged onto my eCAS today to see DM for my PR application on the PA side. Will my visitor status extension request just be tossed out now? I applied by paper, so they haven't even looked at it yet and won't for another couple months...

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/north-america/united-states.asp The webpage says it was edited this month. "Date Modified: 2016-05-05" "For U.S. citizens and permanent residents only: you may apply to an FBI-approved channeler (a third party that helps deliver...

Last year during the Summer I was given a "voluntary withdrawal" while trying to enter Canada. However, I was actually allowed into Canada before that. I asked to enter Canada to visit my husband (then boyfriend) for a month and she seized my passport and let me in for three days. I came back...

So, as a few of us on the April Outland thread have found out, there's an updated version of the IMM1344. The website says it was updated in March, but some people downloaded the form in the first week of April and it wasn't updated. I sent out my application on April 4th, so it may or may not...

In a couple weeks it'll be time for me to extend my visitor status, but I have a few questions. 1) I'm going to have my husband write a letter of support for me. What should this say? Does anyone have examples of a basic format they used? 2) The "Coming Into Canada" part asks about my...

There's a slight possibility that there may be a single day mismatch in a date I wrote on a photo and the day I said we went to that place to eat in the application. Does that really matter? It was very difficult remembering the exact date we did some of the stuff, and I had to guess a little a...

Where can I have PR photos taken around Vancouver, BC? I heard that you can get them at London Drugs, is this true? I would assume so, since they're the same specifications as passport photos now, but I wanted to double check.

I'm currently in Canada visiting my husband (the sponsor). I just called to schedule my medical exam and the receptionist said to bring any documentation I have from the government that says a medical is required. Since I'm submitting an upfront medical and applying outland, I don't need this...

Has anyone heard of an application for an FBI background check being lost or something? They received my prints on October 16, 2015. It's been 18 weeks and the credit card hasn't been charged or anything.I tried to get through to the FBI once and they said my application was received on the...

Obviously, I'm not banned if I'm posting this, but for some reason about 3/4 of the time when I load a page on the forum I have a message at the top saying that I'm banned from posting or sending private messages and I can't post anything. Is anyone else having this issue?

Question 4 asks how many family members are included in the application and the instruction guide says to include my family members, whether or not they are accompanying me to Canada. As far as I know, with the form Additional Family Information I list my mother, father, and sister as family...

If I am currently visiting my spouse while in Canada while we apply for my permanent residence, do I list Canada of my country of residence, even though I am a visitor? I realize that it does have an option under status for being a visitor... but I wanted to be sure, since I'm not "living" in...

Do any of you have a recommendation for a panel physician around Vancouver, BC? Since there are multiple options I thought I'd check to see if anyone here has experiences with the panel physicians here.

Do we actually have to have a letter from my sponsor's employer stating his period of employment, wage, and hours? We've looked through the application and instruction guide before and haven't noticed this part in the checklist and we just want some confirmation.
