Thank you so much, @swan0206 . Really appreciate the detailed response. I'm landing on a Friday afternoon and our return flight is on Monday morning, so I just have one question regarding SIN -based on your experience, would it be suggested to apply for SIN in-person as opposed to doing it...

Hi, I am planning to do a soft landing via Peace Arch border crossing. However, I intend to stay in British Columbia for a week instead of returning back the same day. With several changes implemented on travel in the recent past, I wanted to get some clarity. - I've read on the forum that...

Hi @junkie999 / @Leo5555, do either of you have any idea if a US-based rental car could be used to drive around British Columbia? I'm planning to drive from Seattle and intend to stay in British Columbia for a week.

That's great! Thank you for all the guidance. Yes, I have my H-1B visa stamping valid until next year. It's a relief that we don't have to worry about the visa stamping and can travel back after completing the landing process!

@harirajmohan , thank you for previously sharing your insights. A few things have changed recently and wanted to seek your guidance. My spouse's H-4 application is no longer pending and we received the official I-797 approval notice. Can this be used to travel back to the US using AVR? The...

Gotcha. Thank you.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond to each point, @scylla. Thank you for sharing your insights. Overall, if I understand correctly, the optimal approach would be to sponsor her for a super visa after 6-8 months after I land and look to sponsor her PR whenever the eligibility is...

Hi, I have my CoPR and hope to complete my landing sometime in the next few months to officially become a PR. As my mother is a single parent and lives alone in India, I would like to seek guidance in taking the right steps to optimize the duration of her living with me. I understand that I...

Got it, thank you for your insight. We'll keep our home country (India) as an option to get the H-4 visa stamping.

There seems to be point that's being missed as to why we need a visa when we are already in the US - when we travel to Canada for our PR landing from the US, my spouse's H-4 application becomes void. With the student visa already expired, it would result in an invalid status to return to the US...

Really appreciate your insights, @harirajmohan. Thank you so much. We are in a crucial situation and need to take an important call. Just two questions: 1. I forgot to mention earlier - my spouse currently has an expired F-1 student visa. The expiry date was July 2021 and we have filed for an...

Thank you, @harirajmohan. Any idea if consular processing at another country (like Canada) would be frowned upon instead of India?

Hi all, I am contemplating a soft landing sometime soon. I am on my H-1B with a valid visa stamp and my spouse was under an F-1 student visa, which expired earlier this month. Since my spouse's dependent H-4 application is under processing, what options do we have if were to travel to Canada...

Hi all, I've gone through various threads related to importing a car from the U.S. and its associated processes. I'm trying to capture a set of trade-offs/costs if I were to buy a car in the U.S. for a few months and subsequently importing it vs. buying a new car altogether in Canada. For...

Hi @lalloum , were you able to get your wife's passport processed? Did you have to send two separate packages?

@legalfalcon / other experienced applicants, could you please share your insights? :)

I got married after receiving the CoPR and I haven't completed my landing yet, so technically I'm not a PR in order to sponsor her. Moreover, from what I gather, sponsoring a spouse from Canada would be more tedious than requesting an addition to the application. My question is - based on their...

Hi fellow applicants, hope you're having a nice weekend. I'm a pre-March 18th CoPR holder and I have an ongoing add-on request to include my spouse to receive a new CoPR prior to landing. I got this in a request letter on my CIC profile: I have uploaded all the requested documents (basically...
