Just to clarify my own post: (1) I wanted to know "who to avoid". And (2) I was mentioning that I, myself, am looking at using AMJ Campbell. They are Canada-based but also have an office in my US residence state (Florida). Have not contracted with them due to first getting established in...

I needed only my US state DL to get an Alberta DL recently. But to get auto insurance I had to provide DL "abstract" ...I had never heard of those before

For what it's worth, I "exported" and "imported" my own car without using a broker. You have "export" the car from the US, stopping at the US side of the border to do so, then "import" the car into Canada, stopping on the Canadian side to do so. Then you need the RIV inspection, the insurance...

Yes. Plz. Who to avoid? I am thinking of AMJ Campbell. Not cheap but it's a Canadian company with US presence. Atlas movers affiliate.

That's Great you folks got yours so quickly as well. The prospect of waiting for the first PR card is pretty bad. Probably worse (for me) than waiting for COPR. Yes, Pearson is vastly different from the little outpost I entered through in Coutts, AB. lol

I'm a recent PR, from the US, and today I was happy and astonished to receive my PR card in postal mail. My "landing" was on August 28 at a small land crossing at Alberta/North Dakota. The agent at the border indicated, I believe, 30-45 days for the card. But reading various forums, seeing news...

That link (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-status.html ) seems to only want to check the status of my PR application (which is approved, and I am "landed") -- even though I select the option for checking on my PR Card application. I want to...

An interesting thread! I have been dealing with Amex for several months trying to obtain a Canadian card based on my US account and credit history. Things are progressing...very slowly....now that I am actually resident here. Though it's not been quite the "seamless" experience they proclaim on...

asked and answered in the Spousal forum.

I posted this in a more general forum without much interest. I'm reposting here. Question: upon receipt of the CoPR letter can there be a trip made to Canada without going through the "landing" process? We don't want to "land" at this time. I recently received the CoPR letter (confirmation of...

Question: upon receipt of the CoPR letter can there be a trip made to Canada without going through the "landing" process? We don't want to "land" at this time. I recently received the CoPR letter (confirmation of approval for PR) based on spousal sponsorship. Spouse and I live in the USA. The...

I found that VFS was pretty responsive to my emails last week. I think I mentioned that I'd sent an email a couple times in the evening and then the middle of the next morning I'd have a reply. I sent one email to ask (i) how to pay online (I was told by their "chat" that this was the only...

Update on my experiences with VFS Global after receiving the "passport request" letter from IIRC.... an optimistic update I've followed the procedures I roughly outlined earlier. The VFS website is pretty convoluted in my opinion. And their choice of words (likely translated from their home...

• Thank you for the direction to where the "appl number" is located. :- ) • On my consent form I put "N/A" by the "wishing to provide biometrics" section. Then I entered my name/signature/date on the section "Applicants NOT wishing to provide biometrics" and added a handwritten "balloon" with...

My photographer stamped the back of one photo with her studio's information (as indicated in the common IRCC instructions as referenced in the "letter" see link below). I followed the instructions to write my name on the back of the same stamped photo. I contemplated adding my application number...

I received my "passport letter" on June 10 (Thursday) and was scratching my head at probably the exact same time that you (Mr. Goldfinger) were with the question of how to deal with the Visa Application Centre (a private company, contracted by IRCC to handle certain issues with the...

Leveraging off this older thread, I have received the same "passport letter", both by direct email and in my IRCC log-in account. My question is that the Appendix A table is not a form-fillable pdf, which is unlike all of the forms for the initial application. Is this a fault of my pc system? is...

Sorry if this has been asked and answered before; I did try searching. Does receiving the passport request letter, in which they state "You must complete the following steps within 30 days in order for our office to issue your Confirmation of Permanent Residence and, if applicable, your...

My marriage to Canadian citizen took place over 20 years ago. We did not include with my PR application any information about the wedding venue nor the bills; and certainly no mention of whether tax was included or not. I doubt that IRCC cares how much the wedding cost nor if bills include tax...

I did until recently. There was an alert on the general pages at IRCC (not logged in) that they were discontinuing the progress bar for now because it was not accurate and gave false impression of the time line.
