Thanks OhCandiana! I don't need to worry about that long piece of COPR flying off when being handed over to the border officers in windy days.

My PR card came in today. It took 9 weeks (I landed on May10). Isometry, you should get it soon. :)

Congratulations to all who received good news, and sending lucks to all those who are waiting! :-*

Congrats g-man! For SIN application, you can simply go to a Service Canada office and it takes about 20 mins or so to process. They will give you a piece of paper with your SIN on it. You can start working right away. You don't need to wait for the plastic card which will be mailed to you in...

You can put the car on goods to follow list (that's what I did and my B4A stamped, no problem). Just that after you landed, try to avoid driving your car around within Canada, or you'll risk yourself being pulled over by cops as a Canadian resident is not supposed to drive a US plated car that...

Hi muffy1 Yes, you can send request through email. I mailed the request instead of emailing and it took 4 weeks to receive the notes via email. I hope you will find something positive in your notes. All the best!

About 3 weeks after I landed, I drove to US and came back to Canada via Niagara Falls crossing, with my COPR and my passport. I had no problem at all. The border officer understood that I haven't received my PR card yet. He reassured me that I'll be fine crossing with my COPR+passport before my...

It was May25, by looking at the Buffalo spreadsheet (link in my signature).

How about requesting to change your status in Canada from student to visitor when the student visa expires?

For your information, I put my car (with VIN#) on the B4A form as a 'good to follow'. When I landed, custom officer didn't ask to see the title document at all. If you haven't decided whether you're going to buy it or not, you may want to consider putting it on the 'goods to follow' list.

I'm keeping my finger crossed for you too! Have you got GCMS after you've submitted your PCC? I submitted my GCMS request after I resent my medical receipt to them and I saw it referenced in the GCMS notes.

At the time when the application is submitted, the primary applicant has to be lawfully admitted to the country he/she resides for at least 1 year. You can take a look at the following thread...

As a new settler, you are not bound by the 6 months rule. You only need to have owned it and have USED it before you import it. Though bear it mind that you have to include it in the B4 form and get the form stamped when you land. Once the B4 is stamped, you won't be able to add more item...

Canadian immigration shouldn't need anything from the US immigration, unless... 1) you're doing flagpoling then they would expect to see a 'refused entry' note from the US side, or, 2) if you are importing the car then you have to export it from the US side first and hence document about the...

You may want to try ordering GCMS to see if there is any clue.

It may be another CIC office taken over the Buffalo mailbox?

I think it's a very good idea. How about: - CIC call center and links to VO contacts - how to order GCMS notes - interview questions and experience sharings As a matter of fact, I won't be able to manage the Buffalo spreadsheet anymore. I've just got a job (starting on Monday) which requires...

Canada is more concerned about visitors overstaying in Canada, but not about visitors leaving the country. So normally going out of Canada should be easy, pretty much no question asked. Coming into Canada is sometimes tricky. The tips is, keep answers simple. I'm not telling him to lie, and...

Sorry Occasita, and yes, at least you know the state didn't screwed up your record. ;)

General consent was, satellite offices process applications faster than Buffalo, probably because they have less applications to handle. However, it's difficult to tell now as we don't know what are the impacts caused by the close down of Buffalo office. It's not just NY but other satellites...
