Yes - triple checked with a ruler, had the photo studio employee AND manager verify it as well. Double checked the information and stamps. I have no idea what could be wrong :/

The photos I sent in for my PR card have been rejected for the third time.. I've been doing them at the local Shoppers, with a photographer who has been doing them for years and is just as puzzled. Anyone have any ideas? The ONLY thing I can think of, that I just noticed now, is that there are...

they received my application for the card on March 20, "Submitted" on April 16 and hasn't changed status since :/ anyone else with a similar timeline..?

Sorry for the late response - I already had an apartment rented in Canada, and ready to move into (stocked with nonperishable/frozen foods, house supplies, etc). As for the U-haul, CBSA actually didn't say anything about that other than to look over our goods list.

Yes, we crossed the border on May 11. We had no problems, it was very smooth.

is Peace Arch still open as a crossing? It doesn't show in the ArriveCAN app.. edit: apparently it's called 'Douglas - Passenger' in the app.

Landed Mar 20, just linked and shows Current Status as "Submitted" as today, Apr 16. Under full details, it says they're processing my application...

Hi all, When I landed via flight a couple weeks ago, the immigration agent handling my landing told me I should be fine driving a Uhaul with my belongings up through the border, as I am now a PR and they will not turn me away (plus my wife is a Canadian citizen). Has anyone attempted driving a...

Thanks for the idea, hadn't considered this - I was planning to go with TD bank anyway!

I am a new PR and need to transfer money over from the US to Canada (quite a large amount, as I intend to buy a home). However, it seems banks offer terrible exchange rates for wire transfers, and I assume writing myself a check would have the same problem? Wondering if anyone has any...

Would also be very interested if anyone is attempting a land crossing after this weekend, as I was hoping to cross in about a month using a U-Haul but am now unsure if that is "essential travel."

Hi all, I am planning to drive a U-Haul through the Washington state border entry with my COPR and was wondering if anyone could share their experiences, what to expect, tips, etc.. I am also hoping someone could share an idea of what their personal belongings list looked like (for example, how...

Hi all, Just received my COPR. My wife (Canadian citizen) is returning to Canada to work, though I won't be coming with her (yet). As a US citizen, am I still able to fly in as a visitor (just to see her), without starting the PR process?

Finally got my request for passport. Application Received: September 17, 2019 AOR 1: Nov 2, 2019 (46 days after received) Biometrics third attempt, Jan 13 Transferred to NY, Jan 15 (AOR2) Pre-arrival letter Jan 25 Decision made, Feb 4 RFP, Feb 26

I believe I read about this - is it a specific form that requires a lot of detail? For my wife's US immigration, we made a vague list (like "Box 1A - Pots, pans, silverware") and it was accepted...

Hi all, If I understand correctly, a "soft landing" is when you arrive after COPR but do not actually settle. In my case, I was hoping to soft land so I can start establishing bank accounts etc., then return to the US to finish up some personal matters as well as pack my belongings to move. In...

Also interested in this, as my US employer is interested in keeping me on as a contractor after I move to Canada as a PR. Would I need to file any particular paperwork, or just get paid into a Canadian account and make sure I report that income when it's tax time?

Received a letter about pre-arrival services today, which my consultant says means things are heading towards a conclusion. Short version of timeline: Application Sent: September 12, 2019 from Vancouver Application Received: September 17, 2019 AOR 1: Nov 2, 2019 (46 days after received)...

Submitted my biometrics for the third time (two fingerprint rejections..) a couple of days ago - just got an email that I've been transferred to the consulate in New York. Anyone know if this means anything in particular? The letter does not give any reason, only that my file will be...

I appreciate the effort! That's pretty much what I had found, but I was questioning whether I understood correctly and was hoping someone here had experience with it. That 92 day move-in requirement makes a pretty strong case to me for not buying until I have my PR in hand though...
