Good question. Obviously she resides here as she has been here nearly 2 years, but her status is still legally visitor. My understanding is to get an Ontario DL she can exchange hers with photo id and proof of Canadian address, but that doesn't help with the car situation as it hasn't been...

Insurance here really is an eye opener!

Interesting discussion. I wonder though, in my friend's case how the "duty" thing applies since when she lands there will be no duty assessed on the imported vehicle.

Maybe Google did help. Does this quote (from another forum) apply? "Residents of Canada Residents of Canada may operate conveyances on which duties have not been paid in Canada only in accordance with the terms and conditions of tariff item No. 9802.00.00 and the regulations made pursuant...

I have an American friend who married a Canadian and moved to Canada. Her PR has been in process (outland Buffalo) for nearly TWO years now, and she and hubby are both driving her vehicle (they only have the one) which has not been officially imported. She said immigration and border agents have...

Another forum member mention no recall letter required. According to what I remember, they said RIV is now doing that research themselves at no additional charge to the importer. Good to have it finished, eh???

No we did not use an agent to find this place. I searched online (from the US) my partner called and visited the places. It took a while to find something acceptable in our budget, but eventually we did. This was 2009 and our rent has not increased even though our landlord sold the property last...

I live in Mississauga (close to but NE of Cooksville) and find the area very safe. Our rent is $1300 (3br, 1ba) with utilities included. We rent a house in a nice quiet stable neighbourhood.

I had a similar experience to your wife. I exchanged my license and received a temporary paper one. A few weeks later the official one arrived in the mail. OHIP eligibility should have kicked in 3 months after landing though I think I did have to apply for it. I don't remember driver's license...

What you've got is fine, awor. No need to sweat this one any more (well, unless you plan to import a vehicle :P). You will have to estimate a value (total I think, but maybe the categories too). Don't sweat that either. Just choose a figure.

I got day time running lights for $80. Canadian Tire wanted several hundred to do the same work. Definitely shop around. I did my inspections at CT. If you pay but don't pass the inspection, they can do the work required and will not charge you to inspect again. Also, you can have the work done...

The part of the quote you highlighted means that you, as sponsor, agree to bare some of the financial obligations for the PR in Canada. It means basically that if you sponsor someone who ends up on welfare in the first 3 years of life in Canada, then you the sponsor, will be required to repay...

I guess this ruling does not affect the FSW in this thread, eh... http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/conjugal-partner-sponsorship-marriedyet-to-divorcethen-sponsor-t97291.0.html

It might be helpful if you both talked to a professional (not an immigration professional, a counselor). Personal stress can cause an otherwise healthy relationship to change. Helping her talk through what's bothering her with some professional support could be you both back on solid footing in...

It was just the easiest way for me to keep an accurate record. I keep that file on the computer to update and very so often I print a copy and put it in the file folder with my other paper proof. I haven't done renewal or citizenship apps yet, but I think you use the cic residency calculator...

3. If you are already a PR then in addition to getting CAN plates for a US purchased car, you would have to import it, modify it, and pay duty and taxes on it.

We used it to submit our photos by making a relationship timeline in Word with 8-9 photos and captions underneath. And we included our rough draft because it had both our handwriting on it. You could tell we'd been together for a long time just by the changes in my hairstyle.

We met in 2004 and we still aren't married ;) I guess I can him as my claim common law spouse now that I have lived in Canada a few years, but I was a conjugal partner applicant for the PR process.

It is your responsibility to keep track and present an accurate statement at the time of renewal/citizenship. Keep accurate notes of your comings and goings (and a file with evidence like bus/plane tickets if you have them). I use Excel spreadsheet (see example below). Mine has accompanying...
