Thanks Steaky.

Thanks friends for your help. Btw, is there anything official from the CIC website that he can print and carry along to the port of entry? Just in case some immigration officer causes difficulty. Visa is expriring on May 25th and he lands on May 23rd. Appreciate everything. :D

Hello Seniors and others who may have relevant information on this. I am now a PR, having landed in 2010 but currently outside Canada. My dependent will have to land before his visa expires on May 25th. My questions are: 1) Do I have to be in Canada when my dependent lands? I've always known...

Thank you for your reply Wilson. My brother is quite nervous and sent an email to his visa office which is Buffalo. No reply still after 3 days. Do you know anyone who has successfully landed by using a new passport with an attached old passport which has the immigrant visa stamped on it...

Hello Everybody, My brother's immigrant visa is expiring next month (March 1, 2011) and he has not yet landed. He had the impression that he needed to renew his passport because it is valid only until March 1, 2011 and he did just that. Now, upon attending a pre-departure for Canada seminar...

Hi, you do not need to send wedding photos because marriage contract or other documentary proof legally acceptable in your country of origin should suffice. Now, it would be a different story if the VO asks to see photos and this could only mean that the VO is casting some doubt on the...

Most landlords ask for "rental" history and not credit history. To compensate for lack of rental history, most landlords would be happy to receive post dated cheques and personal reference. But this is all assuming that you are not competing to rent a specific dwelling with a more qualified...

Hi Qorax, Yes, I did my homework and really shopped around. TD online estimate/quote takes only about a few minutes and if an applicant supplies his correct information (no window dressing whatsoever) and likes the figure that comes up, that rate is binding for the next 14 days. Just be ready...

Also, other than driving history and type of vehicle, other factors insurers consider are driver's gender, age and even occupation. I moved my insurance from State Farm in the US to TD Insurance in Canada middle of this year only. I previously paid $780/year (with multi-car and no-accident...

PPR finally. I've been checking my inbox every few hours daily, no email ever came. PPR was sent by mail on 8/26 or a day after I sent email asking for status. Took 2 months after Buffalo received my medicals from Ottawa. Thanks Balu. Good luck to all.

Hi Guys, My spouse is on vacation outside Canada right now and I am in Canada. My status on ecas is currently "Medical results received". I would like to get ready and get his passport and pictures couriered to me here in Canada even before I get PPR (hopefully). Can someone please share...

Just wanted to share my info. Finally, after 4 months from time of medical request, my ecas changed to Medical Received. Still "In Process" but when I clicked on it, a new line shows medical received. I hope they ask for PPR soon. Good luck to all.

Hi, I think it is. We have same visa office in Buffalo and mine just had a new entry of Medical Received. It was not there this morning. I've been checking almost every 2 hours and finally saw a change after almost 4 months.

Hi and congratulations nn000! I emailed Buffalo and they replied on the same day. They confirmed receipt of medicals for myself and my dependent and also receipt of PPR and when they posted my payment. Since I did not ask for status (didn't want to be told that I'm within normal processing...

Thank you Balu. Have you emailed them? I did around mid-April . They sent me a generic reply that my file was then in process but that they could not say when processing would be completed. When I inquired, my ecas still indicated "File received, etc.". Soon after, ecas changed to "In...

Hi all, It's the first time I've seen this thread, wish I'd read this earlier. Anyway, I'm a graduate student and I am now on post-grad work permit and my timelines are as follows: App received by Nova Scotia: Apr 15, 2009 AOR date from Nova Scotia: May 29, 2009 Full app received by...

Hi, CIC does not disqualify students from applying for a temporary resident visa (as visitor, and not student anymore) after a program of study has been completed. Just make sure you can show strong reasons why you need to stay on. I would like to think that it is a valid reason for you to...

Depends on the MBA program offered by the university you are looking at. Some really do require. The answer to your question will be answered in the MBA FAQ section of the university/ies you are considering.

Hello, Your overstay may or may not affect your application for a temporary resident visa in Canada. It would depend on the visa officer. If visa officer considers that you have previously violated a temporary entry status in the US, then it could be that he/she will anticipate that there is...
