Hey Fellas, An outland applicant received her COPR while she is in Canada with her spouse. She will cross in to the USA for 1 day and visit family but mainly for the purposes of landing. Can she buy new items on this 1 day trip and bring them back duty free? I know 24 hour visits usually have...

Sorry Beshoo and Rhcohen, I'm just a little confused now. Is there any reason then for a US citizen to ask for a visitor record if their stay will be less than 6 months in one shot (but will return to Canada after only a few days in the US and restart their 6 months)? if they intend to stay in...

Interesting. And suppose she wishes to stay in Canada with her husband for more than 6 months in one shot. Suppose she will stay for 8 months without returning to the US. Would she then require a visitor record?

Hey All, Just need some clarification here with regard to the following scenario: In the middle of an Outland application with wife originally from USA. The couple are living here in Canada while they wait for second stage approval but wife travels back and forth every couple of months and...

Thanks Rob. I understand you must ask for a Nafta WP at POE? I guess you bring the signed job offer along with credentials (degree/certificate) and perhaps proof of previous work experience/employment. Is there anything else they might ask for at POE?

Thanks for the reply scylla.

Interesting post jmd2014. Curious to see how that plays out as well.

Hey all, I posted this in the Temp Entry topics as well because I wasn't sure which category best fits this scenario. Here is the scenario; Married couple living in the USA (husband in CDN) are looking to move back to Canada. Wife (US citizen) is expecting a second child in about 7 months...

Scenario; Married couple living in the USA (husband in CDN) are looking to move back to Canada. Wife (US citizen) is expecting a second child in about 7 months time and their main concern is having OHIP when they move back. They can apply outland or inland but would prefer outland because of...

Hi all, I just read a bulletin on CIC website which says that; "eligible spouses or common-law partners have the opportunity to work in Canada while they wait for their application for permanent residence to be processed. Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will issue open work...

So I guess once he lands, he becomes PR and then just has to fulfill his residency days over the next 5 years. No need to rush back once if he lands first and then returns to his wife.

Hey Fellas, Question for everyone. Couple is living overseas (wife is CDN and husband is US) and applied Outland with the intention of moving back to Canada in March 2015. Application was sent out in May 2014. Now they are considering extending their stay and not returning to Canada until the...

I advised the Sponsor to contact the MP as the MP's office said they need to come in to sign authorization forms in order for them to make the inquiry. The sponsor is leaving town for two weeks and the 60 day time period that they requested the new medical will expire by the time the sponsor...

I am the authorized rep on their file so yes, they should answer to my email address. In terms of their timeline, they got the medical back in October of 2013 I guess, but until they actually sent in their application, it was already January of 2014. That is why it expires in October of 2014. I...

Hey Experts, I need some help! I'm helping a family friend with their Outland Spousal Sponsorship application. They are about 8 months into their application at this point. Sponsor has been approved months ago. All additional documents requested were sent in. Out of nowhere...CPC Ottawa sends...

I called a very prominent law firm to inquire about possibilities of obtaining a work permit, and they asked me the following, "Does she have a job offer lined up?" I told them she does not have one right now but she will work on getting one, and they responded, "You just get the job offer and...

Wowzas! 14 months??! That's outrageous! I guess if Inland is 14+ months and TN work visa is no longer an option, then Outland is the most likely option then. I don't think the family member hiring her will mind to shell out the $275 for the LMO. They can always factor that in to her salary...

With regard to the work permit/LMO, If a relative is willing to her hire her here in Canada, is it still hard to come by an LMO? Or is it basically standard issue once you have a legitimate job offer? She will be working as a speech language pathologist and not flipping burgers at the local...

Thanks for all of the timely and informative responses folks! Just to clarify a couple of things... 1) Is the 3 month waiting period standard for anyone applying for OHIP? 2) Why is it unlikely that she will get an LMO? Would the best possible scenario not be for the wife to get a job offer...

Hi folks, I have another set of questions and would appreciate greatly if you experts could clarify. I am helping a family friend with a spousal sponsorship application. The husband is a CDN citizen who married a US citizen and they have been living in the US for last 5 years. They would...
