    New York Visa Office

    I've seen one for other VO's, thought I'd create one for the NY office since I couldn't find one. I have not heard anything since my medical passed (full timeline in sig). I had to fill out a webform to find out which VO I was sent to, and all they have said is wait until they send updates/ask...

    Do they ever call?

    I just missed a call from Mississauga, I tried calling back but it said this subscriber is not in service. Did I miss a call from IRCC or is this some spam call that happened to spoof a number from there? I know my application was moved to New York, but don't know if there's a reason I might...

    We're going for it!

    My wife and I had planned for me to visit up there this June, and I'd work remotely for a month or so before coming back. Well, my work said no, sooo my wife and I decided we're going to do it anyways! I'm leaving my company and going up in June and then we won't have to be separated again! So...

    What's allowed with dual intent?

    I've been thinking about visiting my wife in Canada, and just entering with dual intent when I cross the border, but I'm curious what is allowed and what will be red flags to cause them to deny it. 1. Would bringing a car full of boxes/suitcases get you denied? Does what you're bringing...

    You may only quarantine with people if... they consent to the quarantine

    I read this on the border services website. If I read this correctly, my wife is able to pick me up as long as she agrees to do the full quarantine also, right? This is my kind of outline for a plan. I'm planning to fly to a border state, catch a taxi or uber up to the border, walk across...

    Question about finding work

    Not sure if this is the place to ask, but I'm in the middle of being sponsored by my wife for my PR. I'm just curious, for anyone who has been in a similar position, how did you handle finding work? Was anyone able to look for work pre-COPR, or do you pretty much have to wait until you land...

    Update on IRCC processing capability

    Did anyone else get this email for the processing time? Is this the response for when I filled out a webform a month ago asking why applications filed after Sept and Oct were getting AOR first?

    Status shows as submitted?

    Where it shows my linked application, the status shows that the current status is "submitted" and it was submitted on March 4th. Can anyone explain what this means exactly? I received my AOR on March 2nd. I have not received any requests for biometrics or medical, or SA. What should I expect...

    Spousal Sponsorship Timeline?

    My wife is sponsoring my PR, and we finally received our AOR after 5 months of waiting. Does anyone know what kind of timeline we should be looking at until my PR is approved and I'm able to land in Canada? I'm assuming a spousal sponsorship from the US is pretty straightforward and should go...

    Address update?

    I am one of the many Sept/Oct/Nov applicants waiting to receive my AOR. My lease at my current place is up in a month, and I'll be staying with my brother until I'm allowed to move up to Canada. He's also planning on buying a house within the next few months so we may be moving then as well (I'm...

    How doable is visiting and extending until PR approval?

    I apologize if this is asked a lot, but how would it work if I "visited" while my PR is still being processed? I've always planned to wait until my PR is approved, but someone suggested I just go as a visitor and extend as needed. How doable is this? My concerns are, I will be living with my...

    Will my photo delay our application?

    Last week I went to a postal annex to take my PR photo, and immediately had them ship them to my wife in Canada to add to our packet. I (stupidly) did not ever see the photo before they sent it, she told me it looked good so I just went with it, but when my wife got the photos, there is a small...

    Which forms for Spousal Sponsorship?

    My wife and I are filling out the application pack for her to sponsor me to move to her in Alberta, but I'm getting a bit confused with what we need. The website I saw shows she needs to fill out 3 forms (IMM 1344, IMM 5532, and IMM 5476), and I the applicant fill out my 5 forms (IMM 008...

    How to move to my gf in Alberta?

    I'm trying to figure out my best/easiest/fastest way to be able to move to Alberta to be with my gf. I'm currently in Southern California, I've been up there to visit her last year and she'll be visiting me soon. I'm hoping to keep my job and work remotely, with possible trips back down once a...
