Thanks for the replies. I was reading through this: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=911&top=5 So basically, I could apply as soon as my 1095 days are up, then I can leave for up to 2 years (by then my Citizenship would be completed, at least I would sure hope so). So I'd...

I thought I had it for life after I obtained it, but I wanted to confirm. Now would I always have to stay up to date with passport updating and stuff in order to keep my citizenship active, or will I always be a citizen once I complete the process? I'd most likely stay up to date with my...

Hi, I'm currently a PR Holder, obtained PR status in March 2017. I will be applying for Citizenship in April 2020 (will put me over the 1095 day mark, I've only traveled out of Canada for 10 days in the last 3 years). I know it takes about a year to get citizenship at this time, based on...

Are you financing? You may need to establish Canadian Credit first. Go get your BC drivers license at a Service Canada, all you need is your COPR. Not sure how UK works but for the US all I provided was 5 years of driving history from WA state and they gave me a normal BC license. Get a record...

Best bet, open a US savings account, transfer funds into it. I have one with Scotiabank and it's free as long as I keep $200 USD in the account, or else I think it's like $1/month, super cheap. That way you retain your US dollar. Or keep the investments in the US market.

All the same, different names. Just like cell phone carriers, they all have the same crap wrapped in a different package. Make sure you keep enough money in the account to avoid monthly fee. I'm from the US as well and that's the one thing they never had were monthly fee's, at least with my...

I got a Scene Visa with Scotiabank when I landed and it's helped build up my credit. I don't really use it for the benefits too much because we moved and don't have access to a movie with SCENE any more and they removed the SCENE program from Sportchek - so now I just use it and pay it off each...

Just bring your passport and you'll be fine. When I first moved to Canada I didn't have my physical PR card yet either and commuted across the border for work each day, only one time I was asked for my PR card or passport. I told the Canadian guard I don't have my PR card yet and I didn't have...

Hey, I've been in Canada since late March of this year. We need a new vehicle, at least within the next 6 months. Upon moving here I obtained a Scotiabank credit card (visa) and not too long ago I applied for 2 lines of service with Telus cell phones and was approved for high-end smartphones...

What's your rate? How much did you put down and how much did you finance?

Hey everyone, I landed 3 months ago now. I have a steady income as does my wife. My wife doesn't have good credit in Canada, not that it's bad she just doesn't have really any credit history so a co-signer is out of the question. When I landed I obtained a Scotiabank VISA card and when I got...

Just an idea, but if you are using a representative it will not let you do this I don't think

If outland is easier apply outland. she can't live with you as a visitor and still apply outland though

If she's coming up as a visitor and plans to stay with you just apply Inland, Outland is faster if she is able to live in the USA and commute - you should have 4-6 months total processing time to PR status as a US spouse. I filed in January and already landed as a PR via Outland, was able to...

Just landed last night, today I went and applied for a SIN. They weren't able to give me a SIN # same day and said I'm going to have to wait 5 weeks for my card to come in the mail. I called the head office for SIN's and they said sometimes if your account gets flagged or there are system issues...

ditto! My application was just approved and I landed today! Exactly 3 months total. Thanks everyone for all the help and best of luck! Godspeed

I just landed today actually. Picked up COPR and decided to just land and complete the process since my wives landlord needed my SIN # for the lease paperwork, can't get that without landing. I had to leave Canada and re-enter (or I suppose if you had it mailed elsewhere this wouldn't apply)...

Thank you! Can't believe it was so fast honestly. Very excited to finally start living together. Well it was delivered to my wife up in Canada. Her landlord needed my COPR before I can be officially added to the lease so on Wednesday I was going to head up and make her a copy of it so she can...

Nice. I had to do ink-style at my local police station too and mailed it to the FBI and they were accepted just fine but man that would suck to have and wait all over again, I'd be pissed.
