Thanks, man -- I just sent in my full document submissions, and it's no fun to see people talking about something on the list that I didn't include . . . When do they ask for it?

When is this travel history requested? I don't see it on the list of full documents required. s.

Out of curiosity, why are so many people on this forum obsessed with timelines? Every single result, successful or unsuccessful, gets a second poster requesting timelines. And it's not always the same guy . . . Why?

I have a question -- I'm applying under NOC 4131 (college instructor), have received the request to submit my documents, and am in the process of doing so. For the different jobs where I've been a college teacher, this is not a problem -- but the requests go back ten years, to the stage in my...

As an American who went to college in Canada (University of Toronto), and who is applying now to immigrate under the Skilled Worker category, I think the comparison with the States is very interesting. My wife is Thai, and from her perspective choosing Canada or the U.S. is like an American...

Do you pay taxes? If so, prove it with documents. If not, explain why not.

This is a question for anyone who has reached the stage of submitting documents. My question is regarding notarization -- I am an American living in Thailand. - I can have my passport notarized at the U.S. embassy. Fine. But the U.S. embassy won't notarize any other documents. - My wedding...

I'm interested in the answer to this question also. I'm living in Thailand, where U.S./Canadian-style Notary Publics are rare and expensive, and I'll probably end up using the one at the U.S. embassy, which will cost over $200. Would CIC accept a Thai version of this? It would be FAR cheaper.

Noura, please don't be insulted by the people answering your question -- it's perfectly normal for Americans to study in Canada. However, it is more expensive, since you have to pay foreign tuition. If you can stay in the United States to study nursing, it will be cheaper, as long as you do it...

Does 'submit the application' mean the initial submission or the submission of supporting documents?

Jes-ON, thank you for your extremely useful reply. I am very grateful for your warning about checking which fingerprint form to use before sending it in. Do you have any experience with any of the following states? - New York - Vermont (as far as I can tell they don't require fingerprints) -...

PankaJK -- I wondered myself if NotCanada was a hoax, and I admit it's hard to tell . . . Personally, I believe that the people who run it are, in fact, Canadian immigrants who hate Canada. These are my reasons. 1) one of them claims to be an accountant of Sri Lankan origin, who came to...

I do agree with what everyone here says -- might as well do it, if the application's not complete, then why waste my time? If anyone else is in a similar situation to myself, the answer is this: - U.S. embassies abroad have departments of citizen services that can either fingerprint you, or...

Are you an M.D.?

Thanks, man. Sorry to get snippy.

For what it's worth, I spent a good bit of time looking at the Not Canada web site --on one hand, it's worth thinking about. Imagine yourself in a new country, new climate, new customs, new manners, and you have to go find a good job. Of course there are going to be people in that country...

New Yorker, thank you for your comment. Is this based on your experience? I'm simply trying to find out what communication people with American experience have received from CIC -- it's not necessary to tell me to do what they say, or give me advice. I'm simply interested in the experience of...

What's the point of arguing about what I believe? I simply asked if anyone, who has lived in the United States for 6 months or more and has reached the stage of submitting documents, has been asked for state Police Certificates. I'm curious. Is it necessary to justify that? So, if anyone is...

Yes, I'm aware of this requirement as described by CIC. However, I've been given to understand by my lawyer's office that practically, only the FBI clearance is necessary. Since I'm American and have lived in 6 different states in the past, and am living abroad right now, getting all of these...

I've heard two things regarding police clearances from individual states in the United States. One is that these are required (CIC web page, etc.), the other is that they are potentially required but rarely asked for. So, I would like to ask . . . Is there anyone who . . . - has lived in the...
