    Wrong information on e-CoPR

    My child's eCoPR that we received last week had the first name misspelled, so I just filed to amend as well. They have mentioned it can take up to 6 months to process, so I guess we should be prepared to wait. Worst part is having no acknowledgment and having to wait in the dark for so many months!

    Mistakes in eCOPRs

    I don’t think you should sign it if it was wrong. Did you hear back from them? I am on the same boat for my kid, where the first name is mistyped in the COPR and need to file for amendment now.

Not able to use the eCOPR to apply for anything either. Amazing how we have to go through all this effort because...

    Dependent Child Sponsorship - 2021

    Not aware of any tracking sheet for child sponsorship applications. My inland application was received on Aug 19 2021 and I received AOR on Sep 9th 2021. No updates since. Not sure if the Afghan situation is delaying the processing of applications now.

    Received AOR1 today for my inland dependent child application that was received in Sydney NS on 18-Aug-2021, and was able to link the application to my online account. Seems pretty fast and hoping this continues!

    Dependent Child Sponsorship - 2021

    I received an email from IRCC titled "Invitation to answer voluntary questions from IRCC on your application experience" for my child's sponsorship application that was received in Sydney on Aug 18th. So it seems like the application file was opened and something is happening in the background...

    Quite some useful info in this thread. Some of them seem to be have been very lucky to have got their AOR within a week/few weeks during the past few months! My daughter's sponsorship application was received in Sydney NS on the 18th of August - hope the trend continues. If anyone else has...

    Transfer money from usa to canada

    I moved to Canada, opened bank accounts, then used (transfer) wise to send money from the US accounts to Canadian accounts. Wise will do the ACH withdrawal from your US bank accounts (just that they might charge some minimal fees), and then choose Interac to send money to Canada accounts quickly...

    Driving to Canada

    If you already declared any goods (accompanying/GTF) with a BSF186 form when you landed, and it was stamped already, I don't think you will be allowed to separately declare GTF now.

    Travelling to Canada from US with expired PR Card

    I think only rental cars are allowed if you are resident of Canada - meaning you cannot drive in with a privately owned US vehicle, you will be asked to pay taxes. For the documents you can refer to this link: https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/td-dv-eng.html#s1 Section - "Other...

    Experience - US to Canada by car with houseplants via Detroit (Ambassador bridge)

    Crossed last week and was asked the exact questions about the PR Cards at the toll booth and inside the building. Seems like they have become very strict about PR cards being sent to third parties (even if they are a relative/friend) at least at Ambassador bridge. The officers mentioned that...

    Experience - US to Canada by car with houseplants via Detroit (Ambassador bridge)

    Thanks again for the info! The provincial taxes I was referring to is called PST or something like that, and supposed to be 7% on top of the 5% GST at the border. I read somewhere that this needs to be paid during registration. But good to know that you did not have to pay this 7%! I left on the...
