Hi all, My wife just received an email from CIC saying that her photo does not meet the required specifications. I am the primary applicant and it looks like they accepted mine as I haven't received any email. We had our photos taken at the same place at the same time and don't know what the...

Thank you for your response. The letter did not specify what the problem is with her photos. My concern is that if CIC doesn't accept the new photos, is her application going to be cancelled? We did our short landing in October. We were expecting our PR cards in a few weeks and today we received...

Hello, I and my wife drove from the US (not citizens) to Canada and did our short landing in October. We are expecting our PR cards very soon. Our baby will be born in January in the US. Since my wife was pregnant at the time we did our short landing, we could not declare the baby stuff we would...

Thanks for your response. Should i stay longer to be eligible to apply for provincial health insurance?

Hi, I will do a short landing this week and planning to apply for my SIN number and health coverage. 1. Have anyone applied for his/her SIN number in Windsor, ON? Would you please share your experience? 2. I will stay for two days. Can I still apply for health insurance? Thank you

I don't think it is related to Irma. It says "Description is insufficient to classify commodity".

Hi shazfa, I am in the same boat and wondering if you know the biggest MBA job fair held in Canada. I'm getting my MBA from the US (not a citizen) and I have no experience.

Thank you very much your response. Have you heard anything about UPS? Do they do old school as well? May I also learn your timeline? When did you sent your documents and when did you receive your visa? Thank you

Hi all, Did anyone in the USA had a problem sending his/her passport to Canada with a return envelope from Fedex? I received my PPR email on July 25th and today I went to Fedex to send my passport, pictures and the other forms to the Ottowa address as provided in the PPR email. Fedex guys told...

Thank you for the link. It looks like PRTD is for those who will travel by air, train or bus. Since we live in the US, we are planning to drive our personal car when we decide to move permanently. (We'll rent a car for our soft landing just to avoid the export/import headaches). Do you know if...

Thanks a lot, rockytg! This helps a lot. One more thing: Where do you apply for PRTD? I thought it is a piece of paper IO gives you when you leave the country.

Thanks a lot rockytg! Did you update your address while you were still in Canada? Also, would you mind if you share your soft landing experience? How did you get your SIN number? Does it take too long to get one? We are planning to drive up to Detroit/windsor border by the end of August.

Thanks farazafzal! I asked it because I wanted to make sure that I can say that I am a PR during my job hunt.

@rockytg Do you know if we can rent a mailbox online? In other words, do we have to be in Canada physically to do so? If you bought the mailbox when you went there, what did you say to the officials at the enterance when they asked your address?

Sorry, one more question: So, can we say that we are PRs the next day we land?

Thanks for your quick response, 21Goose!

"If you don't know anyone at all in Canada that you trust to do this, you can still enter with no address. You have 180 days after entering to update the address, so spend those six months trying to find someone. If that's impossible, you can ask for a PRTD or cross a land border in a private...

I thought it is better to open a new threat for this specific question. My wife is a doctorate student in the US, expecting to graduate in January. Her F-1 student visa was expired in 2015 so if she leaves the country, she won't be able to reenter before renewing her visa. She is also...
