Background; I became a PR last year (2020) and moved to Canada. (Have never set foot on Canadian soil before then.) I've been keeping track of the days I've been in Canada, and it's been a little over a year now. But I'll likely take up a job in the US far from the US-Canadian border next year...

Hello everyone. I'm curious if it's ok to open up a Roth IRA and start contributing into it. I won't be taking any money out of it while living in Canada, but I'm curious if there's anything illegal about investing using Roth IRA while living outside the US. Also, do I have to pay taxes even if...

I read on this forum that Canadian Tire does a pretty horrible job, and some people have seen some weird side effects like headlights staying on: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/bringing-a-car-from-the-us.434960/post-5308216 I called the dealership in...

Hi, The apartment management is requesting that I get a 2 million dollar in liability renter's insurance before move-in, and I was wondering which insurance company people use. I heard TD is cheaper, but I'd like to hear everyone's opinion. How much do people pay for auto and renter's...

I've been looking at some apartments, and I gotta say, I've been disappointed with the state of the buildings. But I think I'll be ok with the dilapidated infrastructure as long as the internet connection is good. I play games to de-stress, so I'll need some good ping and speeds. I used Comcast...

Hi, I've had a driver's license from Georgia since 2015, and the MVR (the certified license record from GA) says that says my "Original Issue Date" was sometime in 2015). The problem is that I'm going to move to Michigan for a few months, buy a car, and then move to Windsor. In order to do...

Hi everyone. I got my PR card in Feb 2020, and I'm flying to Toronto and staying there for about a month in August. I won't be settle down yet: I'm planning on flying back to Detroit in early September. I'll be moving to Windsor, ON later in the year, so even if I apply for OHIP in August, I'll...

Hi everyone. I'm a new Canadian PR holder and I just graduated from a university in the US. I'm not a US citizen, and I hold an F-1 visa, and my OPT application has just been approved. I've been looking for a job in Canada for the past year, but I have yet to get a reply back, and with the...

Hi all I just finished my soft landing a week ago, and I'm having trouble linking my PR card application with my IRCC account. I filled in the blank as is shown on the COPR, but the site keeps telling me that it can't find my application. I hope this isn't a bad sign. Am I the only one running...

Hi all, I'll be flying to Canada for a soft landing, and I'm wondering if I'll need a Canadian address to apply for a SIN? I know the government doesn't issue physical cards anymore. Instead, it issues letters with confirmation of SIN(?). I'm wondering if this will be in the mail, or something...

Hi everyone. I think this will be my final post on this part of the forum. Thank you everyone who's helped me in my journey. I'm from a visa exempt country living in the US (not a US citizen), and now that I got my COPR, I'll need to fly to Canada for landing procedures. I'm going to fly there...

I know the question in the title is a little strange. My medicals are valid until January 2020, and I got my PPR. Due to my situation, I can't land in Canada by January 2020, so I'm planning on asking for an extension. Should I ask for this after getting my CoPR, or before? Should I contact...

Hi everyone. I understand that the residency obligation (RO) is 730 days in the past 5 years.. Does that mean I can technically delay my permanent move to Canada for the first 3 years of my PR? I understand that the border control officer will have discretion when it comes to judging whether...

Just like the title says, is the PR card valid for 5 years after you become a landed immigrant? Or do you have to renew it every year? I'm just interested in the expiration of the CARD, not the status as a PR. Thanks

and everyone else's application is to stop calling/emailing the IRCC. I understand everyone's anxious about the application status, but it seems like most people calling the IRCC are getting answers that say little more than what you can learn from the online CIC account. 1. Figuring out...

https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/agency-agence/reports-rapports/pia-efvp/atip-aiprp/req-dem-info-eng.html I am a FSW-Outland applicant, and I want to find out if my application is being security screened (SS) It seems like GCMS notes redact this information, so I should order CBSA notes to see...

I'm currently in the US, and the IRCC website says that I have to get a Identity History Summary from the FBI The FBI website says that submitting the online form will process faster, but it seems it's down at the moment? https://www.edo.cjis.gov/ Has anyone been able to access this site and...
