I can only speak about the USA, but I know if it was a situation here, step dads hold no legal bearing. He didn't adopt you. Though he is a permanent part of your life, he shouldn't even be mentioned in any part of the application that asks for information about your father, this needs to be...

So the RCMP replied, it appears Canada does uphold restraining orders issued in the US. It seems to be the same in the US, contact the local authorities: Hi XXXXXX, Police in Canada enforce or acknowledge legal documents; however I hesitate to provide you guidance in this area as we are not...

Canada and the US help support one another when it comes to criminal situations, which is why I have a little hope it will be upheld. Most restraining orders are issued for 6-12 months. The state of NJ deemed this man to be of such danger they offered protection for a lifetime, not only for me...

Well that sounds discouraging ::)

Yeah, I think you're right. It's a very tough situation. Thank you for taking the time :)

All insight is appreciated. ;D I have a lifetime restraining order granted by the state of NJ against a pretty serious stalker covering me, my husband and it even extends to cover both families (parents, siblings). When I move around the US I have to submit the documents to local authorities...

J.M. may I ask how you worded it too? I sent in an urgent request about 2 weeks after my application was sent in. I bet the request was probably lost since my application has yet to have been confirmed. Once it's confirmed received I want to mail in another urgent request but assure I have the...

That sounds like pure hell and not promising. :o No wonder why your hubby hates Canada. What in the world cost $1300 to bring the car up to Canadian standards? I wonder what kind of crap I'm going to run into. I'll be moving with a class A CDL, granted I haven't used it in 14 years, but once...

I know it's an old thread, but I'm waiting a month now since I mailed off for my proof. I submitted my application directly from the US to Sydney. I have my receipt that I printed to show my online payment was made. I'm using the receipt number to check the status online, but it's showing me...

I'm curious to see the answer to this. We're going to be in the same situation as you. It doesn't make sense to start the job search until the end of the process is nearing or ended. I'm the same as you, pretty cut and dry, both US citizens, I'm a dual, we've been married 6yrs with a child. He...

Whoa, Canada sounds cheap to have a baby in the hospital. In the US, NJ specifically, birthing my son with an epidural, 6 hr labor and 2 night stay cost well over 60K. The negotiated rate with Aetna brought the bill down to a little over 15K, my out of pocket expenses were $400, my annual...

I think what you fail to see in all this, is that everyone of us is a case by case situation. Some peoples stories are people who want a change, like us, we're finically stable, why not do it? Others are running from dangerous situations and fought long and hard to be able to come to Canada...

Thank you keesio!

I have a desire to move up there, but as some people have loved ones on the other side, sitting in Canada waiting to be with them. I am fortunate that I have my loved ones, my spouse and child with me. Screech, are you a troller? I see you have a lot of posts, but you seem more a person who...

If you use UPS, they provide a physical address instead of PO box, for an extra charge the will forward everything to your home. I do have many cousins in Toronto if I choose to go that route. I just hate putting people out of their way, when I can simply handle it myself. My iphone chopped...

You are correct, I had realized that after I posted it. I'm not sure why he even to the topic of citizenship when the main conversation was about PR.

Per the CIC website: "Time spent outside of Canada You may also count days outside of Canada as days for which you satisfy the residency obligation in the following circumstances: OPTION 1. Accompanying a Canadian citizen outside Canada You may count each day that you accompanied a Canadian...

Screech, I'm a little shocked at how you chose to fill in the lines in many areas. First, I am first generation born abroad, my son is second, hence he doesn't qualify for citizenship. Also our plans to the CIC are very well laid out with those specifics put in there. Just because you have your...

I'm in a similar situation. We are applying for PR for my son and husband. Once we're granted the PR we'll make the trip to do their landing, setup a UPS box and have the PR cards mailed there with UPS forwarding them to me back in America. After that is all done we'll be listing our home and...

I called the only panel Dr in NJ and his prices are Adult: $380 Child: $200 The only panel Dr on the eastern side of PA is Adult: $415 Child: $173 Both take appointments within a week's notice, which is great. I won't have to worry about scheduling it months prior to when we're ready. Both...
