When my husband lands in a few days he will have in his luggage about $100 of toys he bought for our son as a gift. Should these be included on the B4 (now called bsf186)? The form states that items imported are to "have actually been owned, possessed, and used abroad by me prior to the date of...

Just wondering if any of the Canadian-US couples on here could advise how the American filed their taxes in the US? Married? Single? Married filing separately? My husband lives in the US (just got his COPR) and I live in Canada, I have never lived in the US. Thank you so much!

Just wondering if any of the Canadian-US couples on here could advise how the American filed their taxes in the US? Married? Single? Married filing separately? Is there a right answer or can you choose? This is assuming the US spouse lives in the US and the Canadian spouse does not. My husband...

My husband received his passport request yesterday :D The letter does NOT say you must include a postage paid return envelope with your passport, however based on this forum it seems everyone does at our VO. The issue is my husband lives in the USA and the VO is Dar Es Salaam in Africa. He went...

Since they have still not looked at our file I want to send some additional proof of our relationship (eg. boarding passes and photos from my last trip to see my husband). What is the best way to send? - email - this is my preference - CSE - this limits the size of what I can upload - mail - I...

After much hype and waiting here is what I see when I link my application: Application/profile status-Open Review of eligibility-Review in Progress Review of medical results-Passed Review of submitted documents Scheduling an interview -Not needed at this time A background check is...

My husband is a US permanent resident (green card holder) and earlier this year I applied to sponsor him. Just wondering if anyone knows once he is approved for his Canadian PR: -if he has to give up his green card (I assume yes)? -at what point does he need to do it? I am wondering because...

I've been following this forum for a few months now and it surprises me how many Canadian PR's are living outside of Canada for extended periods of time. I've read many posts whereby a new PR comes to Canada for a few days or weeks to activate their PR status and then returns home or to another...

Earlier this month we sent in our outland spousal sponsorship application. While we wait for it to be approved I am considering staying with my husband in the States as in our case it is likely easier for me to enter the States than him Canada. This is the opposite of what most people seem to be...

I finally got our spousal sponsorship outland application sent!!! I would really like my husband to stay with me in Canada while it is processed like I've read about so many people on the forum doing. My husband is a permanent resident of the USA so does not need a visa to visit Canada. However...

I was hoping to get our outland spousal sponsorship application submitted before the end of the year but things haven't gone as smoothly as I would like so won't be ready to send until this weekend. If I overnight the package, it would arrive on January 4, 2016. I just recently came across a...

It seems to me that they have changed the photo specifications in the country specific guides. Did anyone else notice this or am I going crazy and was looking at the wrong place before? The photos must now be larger (50 by 70mm vs 35 by 45mm) and have the info of the studio that took them on...

My fiancé is a Ugandan citizen who is currently living in the USA as a permanent resident. We are trying to decide if we should apply inland or outland so have a few questions as sounds likely that his outland application would be processed in Nairobi even though he is living in the States. 1)...

This is my first post, likely of many as just beginning the process of sponsoring my fiancé. A little bit of background: -my fiancé is a Ugandan citizen and had been living in Uganda until April of 2015 -in April 2015 he got his green card (permanent resident status) in the USA so moved there...
