Wait. Where does this rule come from? The only rule for maintaining PR is to be in Canada 730 days for every (rolling) 5 year period.

If my PR card expires and I don't apply for renewal for a year or two, because I only travel by road to US and back, would Canadian officials give me a hard time at the border? In other words, entering by land on expired card and no renewal applied any worse than entering on expired card with...

By "us" I meant, 99.9% of all PRs. I'm surprised you and gauri.gupta08 consider travelling through US "an option", so I wanted to know how gauri.gupta08 was able to enter US on such premise. When you reach a port of entry at US, CBP officials ask you "Is your visit for business or for...

But this is really hard for 99.9% of us. I don't know how you could fly to NYC. US is very strict on transit, let alone using its territory for some personal convenience. First of all, you have to have a transit visa in order to transit through US, unlike every other country on earth as far as...

If you have to wait so long that you end up qualifying for citizenship application, is it possible to just initiate the citizenship process and forget about the PR card application? (remember according to the new rules citizenship RO is 3 out of last 5 years). OR not apply for PR card renewal...

I just bumped into this thread after being away from this forum, and I can't believe what I'm reading. I thought getting PR is a difficult process, but once you're through, renewal of your documents is a lot faster and straightforward. The timelines that people are reporting here (12-16...

If it's that easy then I am more than willing to file it. Do I have to file two taxes? federal and province (I lived in Ontario)? or just one?

Sorry if this has been asked before. I lived in Canada in year 2013 for 7 months. Did not earn any money. Now back in US. I have filed US taxes. (Note: US has tax treaty with Canada). Do I need to file Canada taxes as well? (If yes, is it any easier for people like me to just send an email to...

I decided not to do the training because qualifying for license requires signature from a guarantor in Canada who is a professional and knows you for at least two years.

Yes. And there are plenty of jobs in my field. But I can't stay in Canada 12 months every year for the next few years. And most companies want a permanent and full-time employee. With a security guard job, I can work for a few months, leave the country for a few months, and so on. It's a...

Alright guys, after much confusion and frustration, I've finally found the "potentially" best way: Blue Knight Security! NOTE: I say potentially because I haven't started it yet (haven't paid any money). Once I go through the whole process, I'll know for sure, and update you guys. Their...

I recently moved to Kitchener-Waterloo (KW) area as a new PR. I have decided to get basic security training to get the security guard licence. Today I called about a dozen security firms and colleges (in KW) for training course but each responded differently. Some ask to apply for a security...

If you have a genuine purpose to visit visa (visiting relatives is perfectly fine) and you are applying in the correct category (visitor visa is fine) then you don't need to worry about anything. Just make sure you can collect as much documents as you can (birth, marriage cert., ties to Canada...

Any suggestions?

Thanks to this forum I avoided hassle during road landing from US to Canada. I used public transport (bus) instead of the car with US plates that I rented from my hometown all the way to the border (I parked the car in US parking lot for the few days I was in Canada). However, this time I have...

Thanks for your replies guys. I'll call CSBA as well. I'm more than happy to pay duty. All I want to know is if it's possible and easy without the need for me or my friend to cross the border. Would we be able to meet (e.g., in a parking lot of customs office) where I hand things over to him?
