    US outland applicants' thread :)

    it's really difficult to say what a cbsa officer will accept as ties. it is really dependent on each officer. if you have a work contract or recent paystubs, this will help. if you have started your application, bring a copy of everything you've done and if you can pay at least 1 fee now that...

    Sponsorship withdrawal? Conditional PR? What if spouse doesn't sign?

    noone will be able to answer this question. its totally at the descretion of the cbsa officer he meets at the border, and what they believe his intentions to be. if he has honest intentions to visit and he isn't inadmissible for other reasons (working illegally, criminal history, etc) then he...

    Sponsorship withdrawal? Conditional PR? What if spouse doesn't sign?

    only his PR visa will be voided. if he's currently in canada as a visitor, he can stay here as a visitor until that ends and will need to go back to us once it's over or apply for an extension. if he stays beyond what he's allowed, he will be in canada illegally. if you withdraw your...

    ¨Deficiencies¨ in Spousal Application

    Living in Canada but working in the US while PR application is processed

    i think there is a difference between going to the the other country for a day or a few hours to run errands and traveling to the other country to visit a significant other on a regular basis and staying there more than your own home country. i'd think that would be the deciding factor - how...

    Living in Canada but working in the US while PR application is processed

    i think there IS a limit to what CBSA considers frequently. or perhaps everyone with a nexus can easily cross the border weekly without issue. if a us citizen is spending more time in canada than in the us, even with a nexus pass, i'd think that's borderlining on the suspcious side. i'm sure...

    Living in Canada but working in the US while PR application is processed

    the point is the more someone crosses the border the more likely they will get stopped for investigation at the border no matter what day of the week. border agents are much tougher on couples who have not submitted a pr application. having a nexus pass helps with this until cbsa decides the...

    Some Questions before completing my package

    1. no i doubt they allow people to just hand deliver packages. if you do go to the building, most likely they will either tell you to mail it or stick it in a mail slot for delivery to the right building. the package doesn't need to be mailed from the country of the applicant. you can easily...

    conditional PR Question

    this is not something someone applies for. it is part of being granted pr. what it means is that when a spouse becomes pr they have a 2 year "condition" which requires them to live with their sponsor (spouse) for 2 years after landing. if someone leaves their sponsor for whatever reason and...

    yes yes - every applicant (not the sponsor) is required to do the additional family information form. it is not optional. it is for the applicant to disclose their family in the chance those people end up applying for immigration in the future. do not forget to fill out this form. if it's...

    PR living in the US

    if you are a us citizen and us your us passport for a short term visit, i doubt you will be denied entry. just because your pr card is expired, doesn't mean your pr status is expired. if your intentions are just to visit, then there probably isn't even a reason to give them your pr card, you...

    Economical courier service from US to Canada

    sorry to disappoint, but i doubt you are going to find a price lower than $100 to ship boxes between us and ca. how long ago was the shipment that cost under $50? i'm guessing years? postage rates between the two countries are outrageous, that's why a majority of retailers do not ship to...

    Importing my car from US to Canada

    yes, that looks like a decent breakdown of the process. the only reason a broker is needed is to create the AES file and documents, otherwise everything can be done by the owner. there are companies that will initiate the process for you for a nominal fee. a broker is not going to be helpful...
