Thank you, mni. So now I am back in US. Crossing the border back into US was also trouble free. There was one slight hitch though. My parents were also with me and they were on visitor visa. However, they still had the I95 record from their 2007 visit stapled to their passports. Apparently this...

Did my landing on Lansdowne (1000 island bridge) on Saturday. The whole process took around 30 minutes and was very smooth and friendly. Next Sunday i travel back to US. Lets see how that crossing goes!!

Re: Anybody from Bengaluru??? Let's get together!!! I am. But i will be entering by road, from US.

Hi friends Currently I am in US, employed here. I intend to enter Canada by road next month with my family and do the landing formalities. My family will stay back in Canada and i will return to join work a week after that. In this scenario, do i need to get my car imported? Thanks!

It was nice meeting so many folks at the CIIP session yesterday, including you, Unus!

Good points there although I am not so sure about the emphasis on movies etc. I mean, here in India too, people move from one part of the country to another and the change is as huge, if not bigger, as moving to another country. Yet, people do settle down, in spite of not knowing much about...

I am glad it worked out well for you! Congratulations and hopefully rest of the process will also go smoothly. Hmmmm now that you mention it, they have not sent across the venue details. I got an invitation email from them on 2/23. When did you register? I have sent an email to them, asking...

If i remember correctly, it took just a month or so for my baby's passport. They said 15 days, so one month is pretty much par for the course. You may want to start your quest (that's what it is after all) at the Regional Passport Office though. Find out from there what is the course that your...

There is one on 27th March. I am planning to attend. I applied for my 6 month old daughter's passport at Bangalore Passport Seva Kendra last year. It was a breeze for me though because both my wife and my passport have each other's names on it and since the addresses were also same, there was...

BUMP. Guys, any ideas?

Another couple of weeks max, i would say. You are almost through, mate!

I thought there are two sets of requirements: 1. In order to maintain your PR status, you must spend minimum 730 days in a 5 year period. (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/newcomers/about-pr.asp#keep_status) 2. In order to be eligible for citizenship, you must have lived in Canada for at least 3...

Thanks for the reply, PMM. Do i need to submit my passport as part of the process of getting a PR after landing there? Am not sure what you meant by meeting the residency requirements. If i go back to US after completing the PR formalities, are there situations wherein i will not be allowed to...

Hi fellow members. Some of you may know that I got my immigrant visa in December 2011, and its valid till October 2012. Now, I may move to US on L1 visa (with the prospect of applying for green card) by June 2012. So, here are my questions: 1. If i move to US in June, can i enter Canada from US...

I had registered for the session on 17th but due to other engagements, i will have to miss out on it. Was really looking forward to meet you all there :(

I got my passports back in two weeks time. Since i had not gone through any consultants, I got the passports directly, through registered post. Nice! Enjoying the cold wave, i suppose! God Almighty is preparing you for the weather in Canada ;D

Thanks. Though it has its shares of positives and negatives. What about you? Where are you from?

Bangalore.

Hi sm001 Sorry i missed your question earlier. Yes I was asked for updated proof of funds along with submission of passports. This is because my family composition had changed since initial application. Initial application was for me, my wife and one kid. Had to amend it to get second kid added...

Wow thats some real fast processing! Congratulations!!
