Hello all! Finally crossing the border this Thursday after this whole Express Entry process. Very excited! I'm finalizing filling out my Accompanying Goods & Goods to Follow forms, and I just had a quick question - when listing the amounts of every item I'm bringing, is there a maximum total...

I have a few questions about declaring what we're moving across the border with us. When we're listing items, can I group things together? Ex. "Clothes"? Or do I need to list like "10 t-shirts, 5 pairs of Jeans, 2 suits" etc. etc.? And in terms of stating how much they cost, do I indicate how...

Hello! I have a question about providing Proof of Funds at the border! What proof do we have to offer the Immigration officer? A six month balance statement/average like we submitted when applying in the first place? Do I have to have my cash or a check physically on me? Or can it all still be...

Hello! I just had a random question. Is it possible for a person to cross the Canadian border and deal with Immigration at crossing, but have a return ticket home or just book a new ticket home for a week or two later? Or will the immigration officers frown upon that? For example - were I to...

Hello! I plan on driving my Honda Accord to Canada when I cross the border to move; however, I have a question about importing it. It's not paid off entirely yet - the loan, through Honda - still has about $5,000.00 that needs to be paid before it's fully mine. Am I allowed to bring it over the...

I received my PPR back in July. Set to cross before the end of the month! I do, however, have a question about crossing! I indicated my wife would not be coming with me; she's a Canadian Citizen (has been living down in the states with me though), and wouldn't have needed papers of her own or...

I'm a U.S. citizen and I recently received my "Ready for Visa" email from CIC. I'm trying to call them because I have a question about something within it, however, when I call "1-888-242-2100" I just get an automated message that says "I'm sorry - your number cannot be completed as dialed." I...

Hello! I submitted my ITA and got an AOR, but today I received a message from CIC saying that my application has been updated. When I log in to my account, however, I don't see any new messages or any changes to its status. Is this a common occurrence? Should I contact the CIC and let them know...

What format should all documents be uploaded in? Is PDF okay? (I know the pictures have to be something else.) Thanks!

How flexible are the NOC Codes when you pick one for jobs you've had? For example, what if your job title matches the title of one of the codes, but none of the responsibilities? Or vice versa - your job matches the responsibilities, but not the title? Also, how many of the responsibilities...

My wife, who is a Canadian citizen, and myself (an American citizen) are thinking of moving up to Canada permanently. We have been living in the U.S. for the past five years. If she was to Sponsor me via a Spousal Application, can she do it from outside the country? Or would she need to move...

I'm confused by the following question: My wife is a Canadian citizen, but she has been living in the U.S. for the past five years - so I would choose "No" correct? Since she is not "living in Canada"?

Just wanted to clear this up - I don't need to upload my WES evaluation with this, correct? Just photocopies of my degrees?

I have reference letters from each position that includes hours worked, salary, benefits etc. - do I still need to submit pay stubs as well? It says "if you have them" but I don't know if they tend to request them anyway. Generally, I don't save those. And I won't have enough time before my...

Another random question - I assume when it says First Name(s) it is asking for first and middle name. Which I filled in for all of my information. I forgot to put in my wife's middle name, however, and it's a locked field now; if I want to edit it, I have to refind out if I'm elligible for...

Is it okay to leave off irrelevant work experience? For example, I worked for one week as a temporary employee at a company through a Staffing Agency before landing a full time job elsewhere; do I need to mention this? Also, do I need to mention any unpaid internships? Any clarification would...

I have a few questions about submitting my passport. Here is the instructions on the page: First question: Am I correct in interpreting this as if I have a Passport, which I do, that's all I need to submit? I don't need a Travel Document on top of that? If I DO need a Travel Document, what...

I have been saving money for Express Entry for a few months now - taking it out of my bank account and keeping it aside in cash. Now that I've gotten my ITA, I opened a savings account and put the required Proof of Funds in, along with a bunch of money my wife and I received for Christmas. Is...

Hello, I'm trying to schedule a Medical Exam so I can submit my Permanent Residence Application, but the few doctors I've called, they all require some sort of ID number related to the Immigration process; what number are they referring to? Where can I find this? Thanks for the help! :)

Hello, I'm an American who's just received my ITA for Permanent Residency through the Express Entry Skilled Worker option. I'm finding it difficult to ascertain, however, just exactly what supporting documents are required to submit with my application at the 60 day deadline; different websites...
