    Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

    Ah, then we'll expect as much. I'm not too worried about it, as long as CIC is satisfied. Their letter with the deadline put us into a bit of a panic, until we saw that they have a whole webpage about FBI delays. As long as it doesn't throw out the PR application, we're fine with waiting.

    Whoa! Thanks, that's reassuring. I'm glad that it's apparently not unusual that they take a while.

    Exporting/Importing Vehicle - US to Canada ONLY!

    I have a huge problem with our vehicle importation, which has been a saga. I still don't have the title. Basically, I paid the car off about 2 months ago in anticipation of our immigration from the US to Canada, but the bank had an old address on file (even though I changed it several times -...
