Hi Abbas, Did you make an appointment on both the side (CBP & CBSA)? I am in Winnipeg and I see enrolment center only at the US-side (Pembina), but not finding a way to schedule an appointment for Canadian-side. Wondering could it be possible that CBSA officer also would be there along with...

Yes. Sometimes I tell them two weeks even though I had a plan of returning in 5 days.

When submitted my citizenship application, my company did not have any office in Canada... but last year my company acquired by another company which has a office in Canada now... but my project is still based out of US office...

No, it won't. I put US on the list of countries that may NOT help with quicker GC. Perhaps that may be longest duration to get GC :) Sorry if it was not clear...

I myself personally not done this, but I searched and read about this scenario (in the past).... You don't need to do anything special (like importing/exporting), just go to your local DMV and get it registered... I hope you have the original title yet... When I imported my car into Canada...

What you highlighted is the issue... it would not matter if she has EAD or not... When she is trying to enter US, either you should already be in US or you are with her while crossing the border... AFAIK....

Your H1B is valid as long the details on the petition is still valid (dates, employment, etc...)... Work location should be your US office location AFAIK... As for residential address, I used my friend's house address (US). I am not sure what the daily commuters do for the residential address...

No. It depends on where you were born and not based on what passport you hold... If your wife or kids are born in some other country (other than India, China, Mexico, Philipines, USA) , it would help.

Drove always.. Usual questions: where, why, how long you will stay...

During the first year I used to travel monthly once and stay for a week. The following year, travelled only once in two/three months. Did not travel for two years during the Covid period. Nowadays, even if I want to be in the office for few days, other team members who live locally are not to be...

Canada will never be a melting pot... Before moving here, I came across the phrase "while US is a melting pot, Canada is mosaic"... I did not understand fully the meaning of it... But I get to taste it within few months living here... Every community sticks around with their own community...

Whatever maybe the answer, Mumbai is a well known city.... same can't be said about smaller places...

Is it a bait and switch to ensure all Tim Hortons and convenience stores have a pipeline of cheap labor? Maybe you could add truck drivers as well in this list... I think, more than anything, it is a way for liberal govt to stay in power.

Would 500 miles count? if so, I was doing it close to five years.

Hi Abbas, What is shown, in your case, in the OCI card itself? I see that state is not printed, just the city. wondering whether that's the case with everyone. Another thing noticed is, though my son is a minor, it still says "LIFE LONG". Does it mean it never expires and no need to apply...

Yes, I would suggest to get one to avoid any possibility of application returned.

Yes, if you are okay taking risk with your originals... When many stated in this thread that you don't need to send originals, I am not sure why one would take such a risk.

Yes.... based on personal experience....

You can continue to work for your US company, if they are okay with that... No issues as for as Canada is concerned... Many work for US companies (being in Canada) either remotely or commute daily...

You say "my car" and then in the same line you say you don't own the car... it's not clear what you are trying to say... You can take additional coverage from your current provider to cover they days you are driving in the US. But not sure whether that's what your question is about....
