That is interesting! I actually landed on Jan 19 and that is the date on my card too. But yes, like you said I'll probably just lose 2-3 days if I end up applying in Jan/Feb.

Hi everyone, I need to renew my PR card soon but I'm a little confused on the timelines and what would be the best time to apply for a smooth renewal process without extra scrutiny. Since I read on this forum that renewing too early can make your application go into an "audit". Here's my...

When is your parents PR card expiring? Asking because I too landed in Jan 2019 but my card expires in March 2024. If your parents are taking a short trip, it could work out?

Very happy to have found this thread! I moved from US(H1B) to Canada(PR) in Oct 2021. I quit my US job before moving so essentially zero ties to the US. I understand I will need to file as a resident in the US because of how long I lived there and moved in the tail end of 2021. My questions are...

For my parents? Right after I got my PR so around 2019 - just got a canned response. Then off late in 2021, I have been calling multiple times but again no response. Submitted a query/help ticket thing (I forget the name), and again no response.

That's what I was thinking too. Thanks for your advice!

Hi, My situation is sort of complex so I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions. My parents immigrated to Canada on PR in 1994, with me as well. I was a minor. They ended up leaving within 6 months but did not renounce their PR or anything of the sort. In 2018, I applied for PR and was...

Thanks for the response! So would that be purchasing Turbotax twice - once for US and once for Canada? Or is there some Turbotax international version that does all this?

Hello, I moved from US to Canada in Oct 2021 on PR. I'm not entirely sure how the tax filing for 2021-2022 will work and was wondering if anyone knows of people who are familiar with the rules and can help file the tax. Someone who isn't too expensive but can help out in the Toronto area would...

Keep trying the number. I noticed some days when I called it would say number does not exist lol but the next day it would work and I would get through. Ontario.

Oh thanks for the info! I'm waiting for the docs. Just spoke to BLS and they said my docs will be here by tomorrow. They mentioned that putting Canada address on passport has now become mandatory since the past 2 months. Earlier it was optional, since my friend had put her Indian address about 6...

Same situation as you - that is they have returned my docs. Haven't received them yet but wondering how to resend! Did you find out? I also want to put Indian address on passport but called BLS twice and both times they said it is mandatory to put Canadian address on passport if PR holder...

The BLS Brampton number? Did they tell you about shipping label and stuff too? Thanks!

Hi, I'm trying to renew my Passport and am very confused about the Purolator part of things. I want to go to a Purolator location, get the envelope from them, place my docs in it and send to BLS. How do I do this? Which option do I pick? I see the following - 1. Pick up and Drop Off (PLEASE...

Thanks! Have you or anyone used services like send my bag? It ships suitcase to your destination - price and timing looks great. But I've never heard of them before so unsure.

Hi Guys, I am moving to Toronto very soon from Boston. I'm quite confused on how to take some stuff with me there. I DO NOT have any furniture to take along. Just clothes, some kitchen stuff etc. I was thinking either a medium box or 1-2 luggage bags. What are my options? I have been hearing...

Hi Guys, Are there any recruiters/agencies that will help you with getting a job in Canada? I don't mean the govt ones for new immigrants, but something else? Like the private recruiters that contact you on Linkedin that have a list of jobs you might fit? Even if it's not free.. I have a PR...

Hi, I have a question. My H1B got approved this October for the first time. (F1 to H1B Change of Status). In this event, can I go to Canada for 3-4 days to activate the PR and avoid stamping for now? I am confused because my passport does not have any H1 stamps like most other people here...

No idea about clubbing experiences sorry.
