    Importing car from US

    I know this is asked a lot, but I can't find exactly what I'm curious about. I may have had part of this answered before, but appears my history is erased after the recent changes here. I moved to Canada with my Canadian citizen partner in 2014. Renewed visa a few times, eventually got PR...

    Landed recently, "short" or "soft" landing. The officer took my CoPR & passport, entered some things into a computer, asked me a couple questions, had me sign, stamped paperwork, that was it.

    Hello! I am an American applying for PR with my Canadian citizen common-law partner. We would like to get my work permit as soon as possible, so we want to apply inland, but today I was offered a very good, and temporary job back home. I have read about dual intent and temp residents with...
