Hi All, I have tried using the search function but appear to be having issues getting what I need. My wife has her CoPR and we are ready to go and cross the border into Alberta. We currently live in San Diego so we're going to drive a jeep with a uhaul trailer. I found the website that...

Hi Scylla and Avadava, Thanks so much for your quick responses. Do you happen to know any sources etc that confirms this? We might book my wife on a plane tomorrow if this is the case so I would love some confirmation. Thanks! Jon

Hi All, Quick question -- I am the sponsor for my American wife. We both live in San Diego. We are moving to Calgary and have received our CoPR. To cross the border for the first time to start the process of getting the actual Permanent Resident Card do I (the sponsor) have to go with my wife...

Hi All, My wife has received her CoPR and we are planning to "land" in Alberta later this month. She has been applying for jobs but we are a bit confused about when she can legally start working. Would she need to wait to receive her PR card or would she be eligible after getting her paperwork...

Thanks Rob! That helps a ton!

Hi All, My wife received her CoPR and on the actual CoPR it says valid until 2014-03-21 -- so I assume we must get to Canada on or before that date? We are trying to finish things up in the States and are having trouble figuring out when to cross. My question is -- can we enter any province or...

Remonda, That's a great question as we were requested to send in extra proof. When I applied we knew it would be over a year until we were ready to move so we just sent a signed letter declaring our intent. When they emailed us asking for further information I sent them a letter from My father...

That's fantastic! Congrats! Where are you moving to if I may ask? We're going to Calgary. I'll repost when we get our docs in the mail.

Hi All -- original poster here I wanted to update you all on our situation. My wife replied to an email we had received from the CIC several months ago regarding passport photos and asked about the status of our application because it has said Decision Made for 6 weeks or so. Today she...

Thank you all. That information really helps! I will respond to the CPP-O email (you are correct as that is who emailed us) and try to get in touch with them. Hopefully it's just the slow mail period. We have not moved since we started the application and I did receive my sponsorship approval...

Hi, this is definitely about the actual application. My sponsorship was approved about 10 months ago and we did receive emails from them. I know for a fact they have our email as they have emailed us in the past about passport copies. I am quite certain this is regarding my wifes actual...

Hello All, First the problem: When I check the status of my wife's application it says that the decision was made on November 22nd, 2013. We have not received anything in the mail or via email communication. I feel as though we have been patient but now that it's been well over a month I'm...

Canuckluvus thanks for that! That makes us feel a bit better. It's frustrating to wait so long and not know where the mail is!

Hi All, I logged in today to check on my wife's application (She is American and I am Canadian) and saw that the status has been updated to "Decision Made" (I am not sure when the update occurred). The following message was also shown (Below). We have checked our email boxes and have not seen...

Hi All, Thank you again for your help. I am collecting letters of support from family / friends and email correspondance proving our desire to move to Canada. After rereading the email from the CIC to us I noticed they are asking for the Immigration Medical Exam and saying it has to be sent by...

Thank you both! Those are great ideas. I do have lots of emails of me giving updates on the CIC process and how we're moving to Canada so I will include those and highlight the areas where I discuss. I will start reaching out to friends to get more "ammo". Very much appreciated!

Thank you all! This is great advice. I agree that I have a need to provide more proof of our intent to move. I am going to be providing a letter from my father, and two sets of grandparents. My father wrote that I am meeting with someone from his company regarding job opportunities (which is...

Hi All, Again thank you for the feedback. It is really making me feel better! Wowsers that is exactly the thing I was looking for. Would it be rude to include a copy of that highlighted? I want to inform and not offend... I am going to include a copy of my Canadian passport and sponsorship...

Hi, Thank you very much for your replies! The letter from the CIC was the first thing I woke up to this morning and I freaked out a bit. I rechecked my application and it's very obvious that I am a Canadian Citizen. I also included copies of my Canadian Passport. In terms of what I submitted...

Hi Guys, I'm freaking out. We finally received our first correspondence from the CIC and it was not good news. I am a Canadian living in the United States with my Wife. We plan to move to Canada as soon as she is approved. We received the following information: "I have reviewed your...
