Thanks, canuck_in-uk! That's what I was thinking about the federal-ness of it and language.....

My understanding is that Quebec City applications are processed in Montreal...

Hello, I live in Quebec and am native English speaking. When I applied for PR, I did it in French. Now I am getting ready to prepare my citizenship application to submit ASAP. I had been thinking I would do it in French, but now that I am sitting down to do it....I wonder, is there even a point...

Another difference about Inland and Outland is the ability to travel outside of Canada while the application is in progress. Even though I was in Quebec already and we could have done Inland, we chose Outland because I wanted to be able to go back to the US for an emergency and not risk...

Unfortunately, even if you legally change your name to your husband's in the US (or long distance through the US), you will still legally have to use your birth name in Quebec. The only way this isn't the case is for women who got married before 1981...

Kiri, sounds like you are getting a lot of good evidence to support your communication! Maybe Verizon could provide of list showing the numbers you sent and received texts to/from. Even if it didn't have any text content, it would still show that messages were exchanged and how frequently. (You...

Hmm, this is really interesting. I had always wondered that...

Just popped on here to see what was going on... I'm an old-timer I guess, but I wish everyone the best. Anyhow, I saw the above comment and wanted to respond. I would go ahead and send most or all of those photos (but maybe taking out any duplicates from the same event that don't add any new...

We had heard that my could could have been impounded if my husband had been caught driving it. But the car is 18 years old and worth nothing (aside from the ability to get from one place to another), so we didn't stress too much about the risk of impounding. But...I agree that the process is...

Even after I landed, I couldn't get a credit card until after I found work. But then after I got a job, it went smoothly.

This page should provide some guidance regarding Quebec rules and procedures: http://www.justice.gouv.qc.ca/english/publications/generale/maria-a.htm "In Québec, two people wishing to make a public commitment to live together may form a civil marriage, whether they are of the same or the...

Since I had a printer at home, I decided to just print out a new page when I made a mistake. I wasn't sure, so I just avoided correcting errors... (And over a year later, I am still see those "messed up" pages in our stack of recycled printer paper.)

A year ago, I was able to log into ecas to see that sponsorship was approved. But after it was transferred to the VO, it was not updated with any new information, which I heard was normal.

Maybe this is a provincial difference? I'm not sure about the rest of Canada, but in Québec, job listings ask prospective candidates to submit a letter of presentation (cover letter) and a "CV", and what they mean by "CV" is something roughly equivalent to a 2 page US-style resume. I used...

That stinks! Because I wasn't sure the MICC would forward it (since I had heard stories of there being a point of disconnect somewhere along the way where MICC claims to send it and Buffalo claims to never get it) So....I also sent a copy by mail, fax, and email to try my best to make sure one...

I put that I was a new permanent resident in the cover letter to explain why I hadn't been working during the time I was in Canada waiting for PR, had little "Canadian experience", and why I was now starting to look for work. Also, people used to a US "résumé" should look at the differences...

I think that was me talking about the several months to get my license. I'm sorry you are also having difficulty too! Also- you might be able to register your car before you get your license switched. In Québec, you can. I registered it and switched the insurance within the first couple of...

I was told that the concern is for when you fly, and has to do with the fact that some plane carriers will not let a PR board a plane to Canada (from the US) without the PR card. The Canadian immigration/customs people would have access to see your record and would be able to verify you are a...

There is the potential for having to pay taxes on an imported car. Mine was so old (18 years old) that they decided it's value was so ridiculously low that they wouldn't tax me (at customs). And the RIV stuff also did not apply to my car because it was so old, but I think there are often fees...
