My car's make is 2007 and I'd say it's in excellent condition. I'm currently a Permanent Resident of Canada, but I'm hoping now that I've gotten sufficient experience here, to get a job at my dream location in the US. But there is no guarantee and no timeline. Basically, I just apply to the...

Do you know if it's imperative to import it? Are people going to come hunting me down if I don't import it? I'm not quite sure I want to live in Canada forever, and I want to avoid importing my car and then re-exporting it back to the United States.

Hello! A few questions about Canadian Driver's licenses. Reference: I'm a PR I'm currently importing my American car (with American plates). My first question is: 1) Do I need to register the car in Canada after importing (aka: is it mandatory). FYI I'm currently insured under traveler's...

I was not given any form to declare with my work permit. I just drove through no problem. Does that change anything?

This is awesome news! For some reason I thought it might be seen as trying to "illegally import" or "smuggling" something if I don't declare! I don't mind paying taxes/duties. It's a shame I missed my window, but I'm glad to know it isn't a legal matter.

Hi, In December I switched from TR to PR through a spousal sponsorship PR premit, and did not know I needed to tell the officer about my car (that was already in Canada because I was here on a work permit) when we did our interview (the questions were never about that, more about our...

If I flagpole and declare now, will I get in trouble for not knowing that I needed to declare during the interview? I really don't want to get in trouble. Is it best to just sell the car in the US to avoid legal trouble? Now you have me extremely worried.

She did not give us any such forms. We were asked if we were still a couple, about our jobs, etc.

The problem with this is that I never needed to cross the border. I was always in Canada, I went from work permit to permanent residency. So where would I have declared all of my stuff?

Also, if I wanted to go ahead an import, I'm reading the form but it isn't really clear where I need to take my car since I'm already living in Canada. Would I really need to drive out to the Canadian border just to import my car, or are there places to do that in major cities?

My US insurance knows about me living here, they have actually paid for a few things while I've been here. I was not aware of any "goods to follow" form... where would have even been? I did the spousal permit version, through my common-law partner, and he did not inform me of any such form that...

Hi, I have a question about car importation. I got my permanent residency back in December last year. I already had my US car with the US license in Canada, and was living in Canada when I received my permanent residency, so I never really knew I needed to import it. However, while doing...

Okay I just called the CIC again and got through to another different agent from the CIC call center. I spoke with them about my problem again, asking them to double check, and telling them everything that I initially said on here. She said she gets this call literally a 100 times a week, and...

Do I now have to leave the country tomorrow? This is the worst thing I could have ever heard literally last minute the day before my permit expires. I called months ago to verify this with the fucking agent

Here is something that I found on one of the websites linked: "If you have applied for PR inland: Inland applications allow for an Open Work Permit (OWP) to be submitted at the time of application. So, unlike the limitation in an outland application, you fulfil the criteria that you have to...

The IEC isn't exactly the PGWP. Where does it say these two act as one in the same?

This is awful

I specifically asked the agent if it was okay to remain working in Canada under implied status from a Post-Graduate work permit while waiting to hear back from my Open Work Permit. He said that it was fine because I was still applying under the worker class, and I was looking to extend my stay...

Why would the agent, after hearing the specific details of my case, tell me that it was fine, if it wasn't fine?

I called the immigration center a while ago, and I told them my exact situation (PGWP > OWP), looking for information on Implied Status. He already said that I had implied status under my PGWP since I applied for my OWP, and sent me the following email: Implied status - Temporary resident...
