I've tried finding an answer to this and haven't been able to get a clear answer. I'm scheduled for the Oath Ceremony Thursday and know there will be a wait between getting the certificate and applying/receiving a passport. However, I have to go back to the US mid-April to take care of some...

After working with a recruiter to find employment, she has informed me that I need to 'self-incorporate' (ie, form a limited liability company) to do consulting work. The process of forming a LLC is pretty straightforward, however I have a lot of questions around how the salary and taxes will...

I soft landed at the first of September, and will be moving permanently next week. When I landed, the officer stamped my goods to follow list & I know I need to provide this (along with passport copy, CoPR, etc) to the shipping company. Is that all I have to provide? Do I have to print out new...

After driving up from Portland with friends, I crossed into BC today at the Pacific Highway crossing. The entire process took 13 minutes (the officer actually timed it because he had to change posts at 6:00). It took us longer (around 30mins) to actually get up to the border because of Labour...

I'm working on filling out the list of goods to follow, and while I know you have to include serial numbers for electronics & pictures of jewelry, how should I account for artwork? I'm going to be bringing in over $10,000CAD worth of paintings; do I need to include pictures of them?

I plan on soft landing in Vancouver, staying a week to arrange housing, etc, then coming back to the States to arrange shipment of my belongings. I know I won't get my PR Card within a week. My question is, since I hold a US Passport & NEXUS card, will it be enough to get me back across the...

I'm filling out the application and have run into a glitch. I have a brother who was born and died on the same day. The system will not let me add the true dates. Has anyone had a situation like this? I don't want to omit the information, but I don't know how to add it?

I just learned my application has been rejected because the FBI Background check "isn't in the correct format." I'm a US citizen and have a copy of the report that clearly states the background check is clear. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm at a loss of what to do now.

I'm a little vexed at the CIC document checklist, but not sure if it's a known glitch with the system or what exactly. 1) Passports/Travel Documents (Multiple) (required) -- The only document I put data in for is my USA Passport. I'm not sure why it says "multiple" or what else I could possibly...

I have a letter of reference from my past employer which gives me the 5+ years of foreign experience. As of last week I started a new job which I obviously cannot ask for a letter of reference for. I'm also not claiming points for this job. CIC is asking for me to upload a letter of reference...

I used UT CES for my other degree, but decided to use WES for my masters since it's faster. I paid via credit card at time of application. My question is, how long did it take for the payment to post once submitted? I'm on day 3 and it still hasn't came out of my account, so I'm wondering if I...

I've tried googling and can't find a solid answer. Do employer verification letters ever expire? If I get one now, but do not get an ITA for 6 months, will I have to ask for a new one?

I have a part time job in the US to build up more funds for when I move (I already have the minimum funds required so that's not an issue/question). My question is, the place I work has a hub in Vancouver as well. Once I get an ITA and am preparing to move, if the company allowed me, could I do...

Hi everyone, I'm currently employed as a Business Process Analyst, who's work is mainly project management-related (both IT and non-IT). I have a Masters in Project Management, and used the NOC Code 1122- Professional Occupations in Business Management Consulting in my initial application for...

I notice the terms "not needed" often throughout the website when discussing background checks. Are they always required? Notably, I have a NEXUS card issued this month which required background checks and interviews by both the US and Canadian governments. Since they've done this already and...

I know you have to have letters of reference from your employer, but at any point is there a need for a letter of reference from anyone else (like a reference of character)? I ask because I have a friend in Canada who has written them for her employees and others for their immigration, and keeps...

Is it just me or is in incredibly difficult to qualify for British Columbia's PNP? Everyone is suggesting I apply since I have a Masters but it seems I'm not qualified for it. Does anyone have any tricks or tips? I'm not sure if I'm missing a glaring clue to this.

I'm sending in the paperwork this week to have my Masters evaluated by WES, but have a question on what exactly I should send. Here is my situation: January 2014-September 2014: Attended University 1 and received 15 credit hours towards a Masters of Science in Project Management November 2014...

Hi everyone, I'm curious if there are any other U.S. Citizens here that are applying for EE. I've seen a lot of Residents, but I have a few questions about how the US treats things such as taxes for Citizens holding Permanent Residency for Canada. That, and I'd really like to connect with a...

I have a bank account with RBC (Royal Bank of Canada) which I established solely for use to verify the proof of fund requirement. My question is this- when it comes time to show proof of funds, as long as there is an adequate amount in there to meet the requirement, will they care about my...
