and this credit card is a separate card from your bank account? meaning it's not a visa/mastercard that is really a debit card from your bank account? it's an actual credit card with separate credit line? interesting...

this must be bank specific, or perhaps one of you is a canadian citizen with credit history and it's a shared account? in my experience with my bank i am not eligible for a credit card due to lack of credit. even having my name on our mortgage for the past 6 mo. has done nothing to build my...

how was your wife able to get a credit card as a newcomer with no credit? was it secured or are you referring to a bank card?

actually having a pr application submitted helps at the border (in my experience). what is probably meant is that it's important that the us citizen who is applying for pr understands they can't legally move or live in canada until approved for pr. so it's always in the us citizen's best...

for my application, i took screen shots of important posts on facebook like meeting friends/relavant status updates/important relationship dates/any relavant post about our relationship and others knowing about our relationship. i then created powerpoint slides for each year of our relationship...

I don't recall needing "certified and true" copies of passport copies. is this something specific to the commonlaw application or new? this is not something i had to do for my application. please show where it states they must be certified.

yes

the pr card office isn't going to be able to help you until they receive her file after landing. if new pictures are required, i don't think there will be that big of a delay. i would think the best way to ensure quick processing is the have the pictures ready in case they are requested at or...

if your spouse is from the us, then it's best to be applying outland, which means there is no eligibility for a work permit. US applicants who apply outland are getting approved in 4-6 months. do not pay attention to the timeframe on the website, it does not reflect what real applicants face...

1. it depends on how long of a wait there is at the bank and how long their specific process is. it took me about 20-30 minutes. the bank will ask you personal questions, check your id's and open an account. depending on the bank you will either get your bank card right away or in the mail...

i'm pretty sure a large majority (if not all borders) process PR landings. I think the list you are looking at isn't specific to PR landing. I can tell you the border i landed at is not on that list, so that leads me to believe "immigration services" is an umbrella term for everything that has...

if the medical expires before PR is issued then 2 things can happen: a) cic will request a new medical to be done b) if the medical has been done within 16 months of approval then CIC will extend it so the PR can land There is nothing that can be done until CIC makes that decision. there is no...

the letter is a form letter sent to everyone who's approved for pr. that doesn't apply to spousal sponsorship. having those things may prove helpful in getting settled. it's not required to have them.

assuming you didn't move to or from quebec to a new province if you have the copr there's no reason to change the sponsor's address. at this point all that's left to do is land. at the landing the officer will confirm your new address so cic can send your pr card. there's no other reason for...

the english program is called LINC and the french program is called CLIC. if you google those terms + the area you will be in then you will be able to find an organization that can refer you or get you started. both programs require you to be assessed first and enrolling through an approved...

i'm from the us and here is what i've learned since being here for 1.5 years as a pr. your us credit issues will not follow you to canada. nor will your credit rating. this goes for good or bad credit. when you become a pr your credit starts at 0. getting a bank account will not be an...

customs are much friendlier when you understand what they want and do what they want and have a pr application in process. trouble at the border does not necessarily negatively affect a pr application. cbsa and cic are different entities. while they share information they also have different...

also, i know in ontario, visitors married or commonlaw to a canadian citizen can enjoy the canadian rates at most (if not all) colleges. can't speak for all provinces. as long as it's not violating visitor status it's definitely worth checking out to get a head start for future career choices...

because it is not a safety requirement for cars in the US so most if not all us cars will not have them "on" since i'm assuming it's done at the manufacturing stage.

i don't have advice about cancelling sponsorship, sorry. i'd imagine they need your written consent so i'm not sure how doing it over the phone will do anything. if you know what border he would most likely land at, then i would call that office up and make sure they have a copy of your...
