    Passport pages and PCC

    I know the FBI (US) used to print these on blue paper, and they no longer do. I think they only come black & white, so I don't imagine you would run into a problem even if it's from another country.

    Montreal to Upstate NY drive

    Thank you for your responses, however my question wasn't related to legal status in Canada, I certainly would never try to live there without going through the proper process to acquire the right and legal documentation. I guess I should rephrase my question, since it was related to the actual...

    Montreal to Upstate NY drive

    Hello all, Quick question, has anyone made the drive from Montreal to Plattsburgh on a normal basis? My spouse and I are both American citizens, and may be relocating to Montreal for study purposes this fall, and after researching our work options in Montreal, it may be a bit limited there (20...

    Visiting boyfriend in Canada this spring I'm american

    Sure, I've done this a million times in the past. I dated mostly Canadian women for a long time, and never had problems going over for visits. This was going from Buffalo to Toronto on a regular basis, as well as staying for weeks at a time.

    EE Applicants with score 400 to 450 let's connect here

    Good point, I was reading those scores as CIC CLB levels, and not the IELTS scores... fyi, while we all hope that OINP uses the same criteria they used last year to select provincial nominees, none of know whether it will change or stay the same until it re-opens. I hope it stays the same, but...

    Selling vs Renting US home before moving to Canada

    We're in a similar position, no where near the border however. I'd be interested to know what you decide to do, my wife wants to sell, but I've got tons of Canadians who live in my neighborhood now (Arizona is popular with Canadians in the winter) and I'm unsure if that's the best idea.

    Try to improve your IELTS, a score of 9 in all areas would boost your score tremendously.

    Anyone applying for Concordia or Dalhousie university for fall 2017

    I got conditional admission from Concordia today, originally applied in November so it took around 2.5 months. I'm guessing you'll be hearing back soon.

    reference letter for self employed after ITA

    I haven't decided yet, since there is no prerequisite that it has to be mentioned. I'm hoping to get ITA sometime in Feb, if so I will not mention it since I may not have the required proof yet. If the question doesn't arise from CIC, I won't bring up the topic.

    Using Canada Job Experience twice?

    I agree, 444 should get you an invite by March hopefully. I'm at 447, I'm hoping the trend continues and I get an ITA by the second drawing in Feb. If there is a second one.

    reference letter for self employed after ITA

    I just started up my own company this month, and I will not be including it on my application, as I don't have any clients yet that would be able to provide me with a reference letter. However, even without this, I have 9 years of skilled work experience in the last 10 years, with 7 in the same...

    CRS 440 - 449 Only- Connect Here

    Hopefully this trend keeps up for the next couple months at least, there are no guarantees. I personally think ITAs will be heavy during the first quarter to allow time during the rest of the year, to start and finish the entire process for these candidates. That way, it all takes place (or at...
