My mother-in-law is going to go for her biometrics appointment in Bangalore next week. Can someone here provide information on what the process is like? How long does it take, are they usually quick and efficient, do they ask for random documents etc? Background: My MIL already has a valid US...

I was approved for my Nexus card this week. I'm an Indian citizen, Canadian PR, and I have a US B1/B2 visa which is valid till 2027. I don't really travel all that much to the US, but I applied for Nexus because I get CATSA privileges, and when I do travel to the US from Canada, I will get TSA...

I'm going to stop posting on the forum in a few days. Thank you all - I learned a heck of a lot from this forum, and was able to migrate to Canada with nary a hitch, thanks to all the excellent information gathered here. I hope I've been able to help some of you as well. To everyone who's...

I landed last week, but the address I had (in Montreal) was not accepted by the CBSA officer. I'm trying to update my address using this form -> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/change-address.asp but no matter what number I use (UCI, EE, COPR, etc), it does not recognize me and doesn't...

My wife and I landed yesterday. We flew in from Boston, a short 90 min flight, and landed at about 3:30 PM. Billy Bishop airport is really small, which is great because there were absolutely no lines. At passport control we told the CBSA officer that we were landing as permanent residents. She...

I just landed in Toronto. Everything was pretty smooth (I'll write a longer post later), but they didn't accept my friend's address in Montreal. I was told that they cannot send the card to Quebec unless I have a CAQ. The lady left the address blank for me to fill in later. Just a heads up for...

I'm considering landing at Billy Bishop. I'll be flying from the US, so I know I can land there, but I don't know if YTZ (Billy Bishop) has a Service Canada counter at the airport. I've read that it's easier to get the SIN number at the airport, and Pearson has a Service Canada office. Anyone...

I just got a request to upload the IMM 5475. The form looks straightforward enough, but I have a couple of questions 1. What's the "Name of Office where application was submitted" -> Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada? 2. Why did I get this form? I filled out the application myself, didn't use a...

My wife's parents don't have a last name. They use their first name, and all their documentation (passports, visas) have only one name. I read somewhere that in situations like this we're supposed to put the first name in the Last Name field and leave the First Name field blank. I can't do...

I decided to remove this question as it isn't really a good fit for this board and won't help other people.

I'm about to head to NYC to get my PCC. I'd really appreciate it if someone can post a copy of the Indian PCC - you can redact the personal info, of course. If you don't want to post an image, perhaps you could describe the letter and type out the text? Things I'm interested in knowing 1. Is...

Hi, Has anyone got the PCC from the Indian Consulate in NYC by mailing them the passport and getting it? If yes, how long did it take, and what was the process? My passport was issued by the NY consulate, so it should be quick. My wife's passport was issued in India, though. Also, she has my...

Got mine today, directly from the FBI in Clarksburg, WV. It's printed on white paper with the FBI watermark, and the text is: "A search of the fingerprints provided by this individual has revealed no prior arrest data at the FBI. This does not preclude further criminal history at the state and...

My wife and I have our medical exam scheduled for Thursday in the US. We were told to bring two passport photos each for the doctor. However, the US definition of passport photo (2in x 2in) is different from the Canadian definition (2 3/4 in x 2 in). Do we bring a US sized photo or a Canadian...

Hey, So in the process of getting my reference letter from my company, I find that HR has a different job title than what I used. This is common practice at my company - when I look people up in the internal Org Chart, I see a "Functional" title, while the HR system maintains an "Official"...

Hi, My wife and I got ITAs today. I know the general advice is for one spouse to decline - she will probably decline since it's easier for me to get my work history etc (I've been with one company for 6 years, she's moved around). Before we decline though, I thought I'd ask you guys. Any...

I just got my fingerprints, and want to send in the form.. but I ran into a silly issue. Who do I make the Certified Check payable to? Should I make to payable to FBI CJIS Division - Summary Request? or just FBI CJIS Division? what did you do when you submitted your form?

Hi there, I've been going through the CRS Scoring, and have a question. Under Section C (Skill Transferability), do I max out the 50 points if : 1. I have a CLB 9 on all four first language abilities (IELTS scores of 9,9,9,8.5) 2. I have a B.A, an LL.B and an MBA. The B.A, LL.B was a combined...
