I migrated to Canada as a permanent resident under a spouse visa one year ago.. I have two young children and now that I work full time I need some help with childcare. My aunt, who is Australian and currently resides there has offered she could come over to Canada and help me with the kids on a...

one additional question - would she also have to pay the $200 restoration of temporary resident status? She heard something about having to pay it because she is applying for the extension less than 30 days before the visa is due to expire?

My American friend is currently here in Canada on a visitors visa which expires Dec 9th 2011. She is currently in process of extending her visitor visa, online and has a few questions about the process She just graduated in April 2011 with her Bachelors from a post secondary Canadian School...

Hi everyone, just checking in with those who are still here from the beginning of this thread. Well howdy! We arrived in Calgary in June, approximately 8 weeks after receiving back my passport with visa. Landing and immigration processes on arrival went smoothly. We had goods to follow and they...

Love the idea of cotton balls with lavender oil and also some random bars of soap, great ideas!! thanks everyone

thanks for the tip... but we haven't been able to find any dryer sheets at all so far in Australia. Most people don't use a dryer here :-)

Hi Emceemouli, $80-$85k in Calgary will be fine, depending on what you expect as your standard of living and the rent/mortgage that you pay. I know you can live quite comfortably on that... my husband and I have lived on a lot less than that in Calgary and we'll be moving back there, with 2...

Ok this is probably going to sound like a weird questions... but given our personal effects/household goods will take somewhere between 4-6 months to travel from Australia to Canada we're wondering what we can put in the boxes to keep them bug-free and smelling 'fresh'. We have packed a lot of...

Thanks, I think I'll just put it under his name then. Cheers

Any move or change is going to be difficult I think no matter where you go. Vancouver is consistently rated as a very desirable place to live - often the best in the world. Do you have any friends or family or even work connections in Vancouver who could help you connect and build a better...

We just received my permanent resident visa (family class - spouse) and are planning to land in June. I understand that personal/used household goods etc. will be tax/duty free when we bring them in (or list them as to follow). We will be arriving together and of course plan to declare...

Happy easter everyone! We're booked to fly in to Canada June 15th so getting everything organised for that. The passport came back really quickly, less than a week turnaround. Slightly paranoid about someone breaking into the house now so have it hidden away just in case :-) Mixed reactions...

Thanks Jen, hang in there. Sounds like you are getting messed about. We'll be going in about 9 weeks from now, just in the nick of time with all that needs to be done before and on arrival. I'll find out Monday from the next scan if we'll be bringing a new little boy or girl into the country...

Hi Fariza, I wasn't requested to send any passport photos with the passport - but this was requested during the initial application I sent last year so I assume they've held on to them. With platinum post or any other method other than standard Aus Post registered (courier etc), yes, you have...

Thanks! Soooo excited. Bittersweet news - it's hard to make it seem like good news to the rest of the family here who were getting used to having us around. Terribly hard for my mum... I was feeling her pain, when I told her the news. But she understands that it's just moving to another country...

thanks tree! updated robots' line in the table. when are you looking to move?

Well.....I had my heart-stopping moment today... PPR arrived by post! I was so shocked I had to go ask my neighbour to read it with me to make sure it was real and I wasn't dreaming! Can't wait to tell my husband. I'm wearing my roots canada shirt, we'll go surprise him at work when toddler 1...
