Check the COPR. The officer that processed my husband's paperwork had to write his number on the form.

He has to fill out an application for enrollment, then you can add him to yours when the card arrives. That's what we had to do since i'm on a group plan at work. Otherwise try printing/mailing the form instead of online.

So I sponsored my husband last year to come to Canada from California and he drove up to stay with me as a visitor last November. His PR was finally approved and he landed Sept 6 and just received his PR card today (he stayed in status the whole time but never returned to Cali). Everything has...

I've flown out of Dublin (not recently mind you) and had to go through customs when I arrived at Toronto (Pearson). That was not a fun experience as it was my first time flying international and I filled out the customs form wrong (I am a Canadian Citizen but declared $0 since I read the...

It seems a lot of people are not getting truthful information from their MP's. When I contacted mine, by email, my MP's office actually forwarded me the response from Buffalo so I could see exactly what was written. If other people aren't getting at least that level of service then I think...

Well guard # 10189 (they don't wear name tages) processed my husband's landing and he was really nice to deal with :P I am waiting for my DL to come back so I can get my passport renewed then I was going to bother with making a nexus appointment.

The guard told us this too when my husband landed but then a week later when we were coming back from dinner in Sumas (El Nopal is like half a km from the border)... the guard gave my husband a hard time for "travelling abroad" already without his PR card and was very sure to point out the "not...

I really really hope so :) I'm budgeting that they are not just in case (i'm thinking provincial inspection for ICBC). Once we go through the process I'll be sure to share the details.

The $200 is to the RIV for the import (Registrar of Imported Vehicles) and this site talks about the duty/taxes but as a settler you will want to also read the instructions on the CBSA site. http://www.riv.ca/Home.aspx http://www.cbsa.gc.ca/publications/pub/bsf5114-eng.html Also expect to pay...

I read somewhere on the forums that someone who had paid the $75 to extend a visit to Canada was able to get their money back when the PR was processed before the TRV. Anyone recall this and would I send the request to the same place I sent the TRV extension app?

We didn't receive ANYTHING back from our application... but then I was sure to only send copies of everything (which I scanned into the computer and arranged on 8x11 sheets with comments). I didn't want to risk not getting my originals back (photos, boarding passes, cards, etc).

Well Canada Post is "postal service" whereas Fedex is a courier. There is a big difference in the level of service and of course the cost. We used the "prepaid national xpresspost" envelope to have the passport returned for my husband as instructed and it was mailed from Fort Erie on Wed...

You have to account for all the time so if you were "unemployed" you need to enter that.

Looks like the "tip line" is for Citizenship fraud and not PR/Immigration. Boooo

Yup.. because being broke SUCKS. Especially when you are asked by CIC to keep sending in more forms, etc.

You can send the passport directly to Buffalo by courier (that's what we did but we're in Canada). But include a prepaid national Xpresspost envelope from Fort Erie to you if you live in Canada otherwise they will send the passport back snail mail. Buffalo sends the passports by diplomatic...

Woo hoo!! Us oldies got some lovin!

Just got ours back today too (stupid Canada Post decided not to bother delivering on Friday) and we got the second picture back as well. I wonder with all the extra photos they ask for what is the point? The 5 or whatever we had to send with the original application... do they make a collage...

I'm thinking about you :) *fingers crossed*

I had to go inventory my husband's stuff in our storage locker yesterday (since we still haven't received his passport back yet... sitting in a Canada Post sorting facility in Richmond) and we're working on his goods to follow list tonight. I think this is the geekiest goods to follow list...
