Thanks for the help with the personal belongings fellas. I am still unclear about the whole visitor record thing though. The point is so that CBSA can keep tabs on you and how long you stay in Canada. Can they not do that anyway with the swiping of the passports now and the whole electronic...

Ok so if I understand correctly, you can bring in all (or most of your items) if you mail them. You can also bring in as many checked bags as you can muster so long as you're not officially declaring the goods as personal items to stay in Canada. Can anyone clarify the point about the VR. I've...

So what does CBSA want when the issue a short term VR (3 months for example) and ask you to renew your status before it expires?

What about the visitor record?

Can you mail all of your clothes even if you are not a PR ?

Hey all, Sponsor is here living in Canada and will be married next week in the USA at which point he will be sponsoring his wife from outside Canada. Wife will accompany him home to Canada after the wedding and wait with him here while PR is processed. She will try not get visitor record but...

Interesting. So not actual passports, just copies? Did you send all the height, eye colour, and all other info as well? and Why the pre-paid envelope?

Sponsor and his wife were living in the Middle East when they originally applied for spousal sponsorship outside of Canada with the intention of moving back to Canada during the process. They moved back. CIC apparently never received updated address and that the couple had moved back to Canada...

Also what does it mean if it says "not found" on the I-94 request? Tried 2 requests and and both said "not found". These people travelled out of Canada into the USA many times.

Thanks Fellas. I am not clear on how to order CBSA records. I am about to start with the I-94 link and see how that goes but then I will try for CBSA. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey all, Applying for citizenship after 21 years of having a PR card. Applicant traveled many times in the last 6 years. How can they calculate all days absent? They really have no idea how many times they have left and passport stamps do not show all the entry and exits (especially to the...

I think they will qualify under the NOC but not sure if they will get the 450 points. If they are selected how long does the whole process generally take?

Can they not apply under the "Experience Class" having been working here for longer than 2 years?

Hi, My friend and his wife are from the USA but have been living here for 6 years. They are on their second work permit. Each was issued for 3 years. They also have already had 2 children here who are now Canadian citizens. At what point do they (the parents) become eligible to apply for PR...

Thanks Sasha

Hey all, Pretty straightforward question I believe. If applicant and spouse are living outside Canada, must they include Medical and Option C with original application or can they forward to CIC Ottawa after stage 1 approval? There is only one qualified DR. in country they are in and would be...

Hey all, A Relative from the USA married her CDN spouse 4 years ago and moved to Canada. She was sponsored by her husband and now holds PR. She would now like to sponsor her parents who are living in the USA as she is their only child and they would like to be closer to their daughter and...

Wow! Ok. So they really are not accepting applications until then. Good to know. Besides a super-visa then, any other quicker ways for a parent(s) to become a PR? Older set of parents (in their mid 80's) want to spend their final years with their daughter in law and grandkids here in Canada...
