Hi All - I am in a situation of not being able to make my RO due to various factors (sickness, etc.). My landing was on June 2020 (as you can see my sig) so I am making every effort to make it to Toronto by May 2023. Please let me know your thoughts on the below options: 1) Reach Toronto by end...

Hi All, I completed my soft landing in June 2020 and plan to relocate permanently close to mid / end of 2022. Per my 2020 GTF, there have been a few changes, most not under my control: 1) TV: There was a surge which ruined my TV so I had to buy a new one (Samsung --> LG) 2) Laptop: My laptop...

Hi All - Planning a move to Canada this year. When I did my soft landing last year via plane, the officer striked off my car from GTF (goods to follow) citing that I can't do that. So is there something I should worry about from that standpoint? or is the import process solely the 72 hour heads...

My RO will be up by Aug 2023 - Plan is to move by end of 2022 [to not cut it close]. My current fiancé has applied for her PR and mostly likely will get her COPR by Aug 2021 and immediately soft land (Her RO will be up by 2024) and we plan to get married before that. How will RO work in the...

Hello All - Firstly thank you for all the guidance. If my PR card is up for renewal around 2025 and I spend 740 days in Canada, but I am abroad when the PR expiry happens, I understand that I cannot renew my PR card from outside Canada. Can you still apply for the PRTD? What is the step after...

Hey All - Just had three questions related to my current situation - I completed my landing recently and returned from Canada (FSW-O): 1) PR Card: Based on what I have read, CIC account is the best place to check for PR card. Mine still shows as approved - should it show something else? E.g...

Hi Folks - As we know, Canada PR requirement is 2 years (730 days) in 5 years - Say if we land during the 3rd year of the first five year and stay for 4 years - will that fulfill the 2 year requirement of the next 5 years as well? - Hoping the question is not confusing.

If someone is not able to land and their CoPR expires, can their spouse who is starting a PR express entry process, sponsor for the person whose CoPR was expired in the past?

I just received my CoPR stamped Passport and the CoPR document. I am planning to do my landing one week before the CoPR expiry and had a few questions: 1) I plan to do my soft landing via plane in Toronto, but my friend stays in Alberta. Will giving a different city address for the PR card be...

Hi folks, I did not attach my WES evaluation in AOR package, just transcript and convocation. Will this be an issue? - I have put in the ECA number in the questionnaire.

Hello folks - Thank you for all the guidance so far. I have three travel situations that could happen and was wondering if there would be any issues. My AOR was just submitted yesterday: 1) Travel to Mexico - If I travel to Mexico in Dec 2019 as planned, will it affect my US PCC? 2) Travel to...

Hello Folks, Though I am far away from the process, I am asking for a friend who is planning to move to Toronto (he just got his PR card). He has plans to export from US (72 hour notice, etc.) and import into Canada. The query is what are some options after? I tried searching the threads but...

Trying to submit application post ITA. In express entry there is a question Are you a lawful permanent resident of the United States with a valid U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) number? I am on H1-B and don't have green card. Just want to confirm if the answer should be NO?

All - Apologies if this is a dumb question. If my AOR deadline is September 9th, but I submit a month earlier by August 9th, will that mean my processing could be a month faster?
