Could you please elaborate on this self certify process

Where did you give your written test? I have a valid Indian license (no extract) and expired US license. If I take the written test and show my Indian license I will be eligible for the G1 Exit road test to get a G2, is my understanding accurate?

There isn't an option to apply for SIN in the airport anymore. It has to be done online or in-person after the quarantine period

Was pretty straightforward. Flew in to Toronto, at the first immigration desk they check your visa, customs declaration form and send you on to another section for the work permit. I was asked for the letter of approval, employer offer letter, quarantine plan and provided with the work permit...

Take a look at the Submit Passport and other documents section for all the details - VFS link Short version is that you email vfsshippinglabels@vfsglobal.com with the list of applicants and email IDs. They'll send a payment link to each ID. Once you complete the payment they'll email you Fedex...

Here's what I was able to find out - The POE letter of introduction contains the formal approval for the work permit and the validity period of the work permit - The POE letter is usually uploaded to the portal on the day or a day after the visa is stamped. Might be worth following up through a...

My timeline for anyone interested W1 Tue - Email to VFS W1 Thu - Payment link & Payment W2 Mon - Shipping Label & dispatch W2 Wed - Visa stamped W2 Fri - Passport returned Interestingly enough, VFS staggered the processing for my spouse by a day so her passport is scheduled to be returned only...

I should've included it in my original post but I'm in the same situation with my spouse on OWP and a kid on visitor visa as well

Hi All, My passport is currently with VFS New York for stamping and I plan to fly into Toronto from NY in the coming weeks. The CIC website mentions a port of entry letter of introduction as a required document. Is this the same as the confirmation letter from IRCC that states that "a decision...

Thanks. That link was very helpful. Will I be able to open a bank account a few days after landing or do I have to wait until there is some form of address proof. Can an employer letter serve as address proof?

Hi All, I'll be moving to Toronto from NY later this month on an ICT. This sub-forum seems to be where most of the settling in discussion is centered so I'd like to get your inputs on the following 1. Drive vs Fly Beyond the obvious differences in cost, convenience, luggage capacity, are there...

Hi All, Looking for some inputs on the following from people who have experience/insights in moving from US to Canada 1. Drive vs Fly Beyond the obvious differences in cost, convenience, luggage capacity, are there other considerations (e.g. immigration process, documentation needed ..etc.) in...

I sent the initial request to VFS on Tuesday night and they sent me the payment link on Thursday so I'll probably receive the mailing labels on Monday

Yup you can leave them blank or say N/A. I used different email addresses but I think the same email address for both will work as well.

It seems to be going in order of application date and his application was made on Aug 18th (mine was the 10th) so his approval is probably 2-5 days away

Because of Covid, I don't believe in-person stamping is being offered as an option. I've requested VFS for two-way mailing labels to NY and will probably hear back in a day or two

Hi All, I'm thinking of driving from NYC to Toronto later this month (ICT). Will I be able to cross the border and drive to Toronto using a valid Indian driving license and an expired US driving license? I have been able to rent/drive cars in the US using them for the past few months and want...
