Hello All, I'm applying for Citizenship and I need to provide proof of language proficiency in English or French. I'm from the US and studied at McGill University. However, I realized that my Diploma is written in Latin (only my name is in English). Do you think this will be an issue if I...

She already has an ESTA. I am back in Canada and could courier the PR Card to her, but it would still take a few days to arrive. This way is faster. Thanks for your help!

Recently, my partner tried to fly back to Canada after visiting relatives abroad in France. Only at the airport did she realize she accidentally grabbed her BC ID instead of her PR card, so the airline wouldn't let her board the plane. She tried to apply for a Permanent Resident Travel Document...

Thanks for your comments. My common-law partner is also willing to help sponsor my mom. Does that mean we would be supporting 3 people?

Hello, I recently got my Permanent Residence in Dec 2018, but I was living and working in Canada from 2014 to 2016. I would like to sponsor my mother, who is from the US, to join me in Canada. My question is: would the years I spent towards working in Canada in 2014- 2016 be counted towards...

Thanks for all your feedback! So I will check if I can use a Texas ID card instead of a DL number to vote, or if it is possible to write my DL number on the absentee ballot without actually possessing it anymore. Just to clarify some things. Yes, I can vote from abroad. I have done it before...

Hello, I am a Permanent Resident from the US living in BC. I am applying for jobs and many require or prefer people with a BC License and driving record. I have my US license from Texas, I can trade it in for a BC one. However, I need my US license for many practical reasons. For example, when...

Hey, I just got back from the US no problem. When we did our landing, we asked the Immigration officer if we would have any problems reentering. He looked at our passports (US and Japan) and said there would be no problem because we don't require visas. We crossed from Seattle to Vancouver via...

Yeah I agree it is taking a risk. Also few drivers want to take fellow strangers across the border. I would rather not do it but I don't have my own private vehicle. Its quite difficult and risky so now my plan is this: try to take a bus from Seattle to Vancouver. If the bus company refuses to...

Thank you so much, dpenabill, this helps a lot! So basically, as long as we are able to get to the PoE and prove to Canadian border officers that we are PRs, we can enter. The issue is with whether commercial carriers, whether bus or plane, will let us board the vehicle going to Canada. To...

Hello everyone, I will do my landing in Canada in early December. The problem is that soon after landing, my Common-Law Partner and I will visit my family in the US, before we have received PR cards. We have already bought tickets and made plans. It is the first time we will be back in North...

Thanks so much for your advice, it helps to calm some fears. My main concern is more that the CoPR will have an address listed in Australia where I have never resided, and this will cause problems later on. Do you think this is the case?

Thanks for your advice. The Ready for Visa email doesn't say where they will send to, it also doesn't have my address listed. The reason why I put my friend's Australian address is because the pre-paid envelope only delivers within Australia. My concern is more that the CoPR will have an address...

Hello, I recently got the request for final documents to create my COPR. I'm not sure what to put for return address. I'm traveling right now and between addresses. I'm permanently away from Australia, the country where I should send my documents, but I'm not officially living at my new address...

Hello, I have completed my PR application and it is the final stages of processing. However, in a few months I am going to declare my girlfriend of 3 years as my common-law partner. I have already submitted my documents to CIC but I was wondering what documents CIC will request from my...

We will have been living together for 12 months soon, but we want to get all the documents ready. When I change my status from single to common-law, we will be prepared and ready to submit everything. We have a lease in both our names plus airline tickets with both of our names. I'm more...
