That's good to know, I missed that earlier. Thanks!

A After I got my PR in Canada, I moved back to my then-country of residence (USA) for a year before I came back to Canada permanently. In that case is my country of residence (after becoming PR) Canada or USA? That will determine which countries I add in 5562 form.

Hi, I am a PR living and working in Canada and I want to sponsor my spouse living outside Canada under the family class. CIC requires either the T4 or the proof of income (option C) from CRA, along with the employer letters etc. I moved here with a job after this tax season was over , Thus I do...

Hi, thanks for your response. I am planning to send my application this month, but I cannot get the T4/Option C till next year. Will an explanation about why I wasn't able to provide CRA documents suffice? Do they usually reject the application or simply keep it on hold till it is supplied...

I went through the checklist and it says: "If you are working in Canada, provide an original letter from your current employer stating your period of employment, salary, and regular hours per week or supporting financial documents if you are self-employed AND one of these documents issued by the...

Hi, I have a specific question regarding what to show for proof of employment to sponsor PR for my spouse. I moved to Canada on a PR with a job after the tax year was over, so I have never filed my taxes in Canada since I was a non-resident so far. Therefore I don't have any document from CRA...

Fee receipt = the receipt that you get with a cashier's check. Send check to one address, send the receipt to another.

Thanks for you reply, that is helpful

Hi, I’m in a situation where I had landed in Canada over a year ago, and completed my Goods to Follow procedures during that time. During this one year period, I purchased a couple of electronics (not too expensive, totaling about $500 at the most). These items are not present in the goods to...

Jeez I didn't know that! Thanks for this information, this indeed makes things much easier.

My current US visa expires in the next 4 months. I am already a Canadian PR with a PR card. My US driving license also expires along with my visa and before that happens I wanted to go to Canada (pref. Ontario) to get my US license exchanged with Canadian while it's still valid so I don't have...

It's a "rolling" 5 year period. At any point in time, CIC should be able to look back 5 years and out of those, 2 should be cumulatively spent physically in Canada. The only exception is your first 5 years after landing when you can stay outside for almost 3 years and then spend the next two in...

Thanks; yes I was surprised it was so quick. I sent it the LA office (the cashiers check goes to the Arizona dropbox). I'm not sure about LA vs NY. Maybe do it with the closest VAC?

They cannot stop you from entering since you have not yet failed to meet the RO. However keep in mind that depending on which CBSA offcier you talk to, they can ask you additional questions about why it took you so long to return, or they might remind you you cannot leave Canada for the next two...

Yes I had a Canadian PR; I applied for Nexus only after I got the PR otherwise I wouldn't have been eligible (also, since I have lived in US for many years the 3 years residency requirement was waived). My citizenship hasn't changed. Thanks for your answer. P.S.: The main reason I applied for...

I did the Nexus interview on the US side (US-Canada land border in Montana). None of the land border crossings have the iris scanner I believe. Now I can walk-in into any enrollment center without appointment just to give my iris scan. Based on your answer, if I travel by air, I think I will...

Hi, I'm a Canadian PR (since one year) who is on his last six months of F-1 STEM OPT in the US (with a valid F-1 visa) before I move permanently to Canada. I also have a NEXUS card that I received earlier this year. I haven't used it yet. I would like to try it out once in Nov this year, before...

That's what I told him to do and hopefully he does it. However since the number of applications surged and they reduced the deadline from 90 days to 60 days after the ITA, apparently it's getting tough to get the medical exam dates, PCCs in time for many people.

I have heard about cases where the processing was paused due to medicals not being available. Does it mean people are allowed submit a placeholder document such as confirmation of medical exam date or something like that? I'm asking for a friend; his medical exam is one day after the deadline...

If our medical exam is scheduled a few days after eAPR submission is due, how to we manage this? As in, what to upload in the "Medical exam" section of the upload page? A letter of explanation saying the exam is scheduled? Proof for the same?
