Thanks for the answer.

Thank you. I am planning to continue my US health insurance. Having said that will OHIP card still required? I heard Canada healthcare has long wait time so was to weigh the benefit of any additional tax I have to pay You still need your OHIP card in case you have an emergency and need to go to...

Hi, were you able to get your H1B visa renewed while commuting daily across the border? How long did you have to stay in the US when your H1B application was delivered to USCIS? Did you have any issue with getting a new I-94 with the H1B visa renewal? I am thinking of taking a small vacation in...

- I am planning to change the car plate and license The sooner you get a Canadian license plate for your car, the better it will be. When I started the commute, the number of questions from the officers went down significantly once I got the Canadian plate. - Planning to drive uhaul cross...

Thanks for your reply. I do agree, a lot of bank accounts can be a headache to manage! I too am looking to pare down my US accounts. But, I do want some money available in US bank accounts as well as I am continuing to use some US credit cards. So, will need the money to pay them off.

So, I moved to Canada a few months ago and now commute across the border daily which has been largely smooth. What is the simplest method to bring your monthly paycheck/ money from US to Canada on an ongoing basis? I was thinking of opening a TD account in USA and then use that to move money...

There shouldn't be any issue. They will ask you why you are driving a Canadian plated car since your home is in US. Just telling them it's a rental should be fine. I recently had to borrow a friend's car from US and crossed the border with it a couple of times. My home is Canada. They were...

Congratulations on getting your PR cards! Hopefully you hadn't sent in another application yet. I got my cards delivered to me as well.

I would recommend just filling out a new paper application, new photos and sending it in. You probably don't need to pay the fee again. I did my soft landing in 2020 at the height of COVID-19 pandemic and never got my PR card. Finally made plans to move to Canada. In Nov 2021, submitted new...

You can use Automatic Visa Revalidation to enter back into US.

Keep calling every few minutes. After 5-10 attempts you should be able to get into the wait line which will be 40-50 minutes.

I am in a similar situation. We received AOR from my wife and daughter but no AOR for me. All applications were in the same packet. I can't even find my application using my UCI and last name. The same thing happened to a friend of mine. No communication about his wife's application though he...

My application was received Nov 19th with AOR on Feb 19th. But it seems like they have picked up the pace of processing over the past week.

1. No, you cannot actively trade in Robinhood (on any other brokerage) with a canadian residential address. Best option is to transfer your equities to a Canadian brokerage like Questrade or IKBR and then use them to continue trading. There is some information on this in the last couple of pages...

All the usual stuff. Passport, ds160, i797, proof of pr, marriage certificate etc.

Please refer to the H1B visa stamping thread. https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/h1b-visa-appointment-availability.621766/page-50 Eligibility for Dropbox or in person interview is determined by the website. Following that, it can take anywhere between 10 days...

I met criteria for emergency appointment. So, they may have expedited my application.

In theory, someone else could drop off your documents and pick them up for you but I would absolutely NOT recommend doing that. They sometimes have you come in for interview after reviewing your application. So, you could get stuck outside Canada without your passport.

Posting my dropbox experience: Nov 11, Thursday: Submitted passport Nov 12, Passport delivered, case created. I sent an email to consulate requesting to expedite, explaining my situation. Nov 15, Monday: Administrative processing Nov 16, Status updated to issued Nov 19, Passport available for...

Yes, in person interviews have been quicker per the experiences posted but you cannot decide yourself if you want in person or dropbox. Once you answer all the questions, the system decides if you qualify for in person or drobox.
