Odd, do you have a screenshot of this? You can black out any names/file numbers.

That sucks. I guess what I'll do tomorrow then is call them again a few times, take some names down, and make sure I'm getting some consistent story so when I go there I can give them crap in return if they want to give me any.

Yeah it's not gonna be the most convenient thing but finding a 24/7 one, making sure you have the funds and means to more immediately get all of the import requirements done ASAP before landing, but in the end it might be better. Congrats on the PPR! And I feel for you on the baby thing. I'm a...

I would suggest temporarily keeping it in the states if you have to, and add it to goods to follow. I'm not too sure what they would do if you drove the vehicle across you intended to import when you landed, regardless of whether it was on the "to follow" or in possession form. Another...

Brampton. Was DriveTest able to pull up your DMV records on their system? And are you from California?

If you don't have your PR yet and haven't signed the COPR then likely yes. If you already have PR they can't re-do your PR like that ex post facto.

Congratulations, not only on the sponsorship approval, but on learning that e-Cas is barely reliable (quite a number here would say not reliable at all) for updates. The new e-Cas interface is confusing to say the least, but there should be two sections of an outland app (presuming you're doing...

Ohh that sucks. I contacted DriveTest and in about 2-3 weeks I'll be going down to exchange my CDL (California Drivers License) for an Ontario G license. I talked to them on the phone, they were able to verify my driving experience after giving them my license #, and told me I'd just need my...

Don't need to apply, it's automatically sent when he lands. What he'll want to apply for is a SIN number and card.

Yep. If you (whoever this poster is responding to) go to Buffalo to take care of PPR, try to arrive at the parking garage 7:00-7:15am, Tim Hortons inside at the plaza level 7:15-7:20am, at 7:25-7:30am a guard will come to Timmy's (they take you up to the lobby but guards [there's many] get mad...

So you're going to Buffalo to take care of the PPR?

Can I rely on this same senator to buck the "monarchy" symbol too? If so, I'm on board! ;)

Here is a copy of my PPR e-mail. I included all of the links given to me in the e-mail. tl;dr version is you need to check one of the links for the 2 photos, which do seem pretty similar to the 3 or 4 submitted with the original app to Mississauga, but print out the page anyways, plus a blank...

Dear Canada, Thank you for the speedy processing of our Permanent Residence application, thank you for polite and reasonable CBSA officers who reassured us on the phone they aren't in the business of breaking up families, then days later when we went to the border after 6 months of my being a...

I don't think that's fair especially if one has gone through the painstaking process of a PR, moving their stuff, changing their life to be in Canada, etc. Certainly going back is an option but not reasonable as a requirement. As for the article, I wonder if I'm the only one who is surprised at...

Congrats!

I agree. Fort Erie was actually an example where you didn't even need to go to the U.S. to turn right around before hitting Peace Bridge, there was a "Return to Canada" option just before hitting the bridge on the left side. I'm pretty sure other border crossings have this as well. On another...

Congrats! More PPR's!

Went to Buffalo today, arrived at HSBC centre at 7am, got visa and COPR issued at 10:15am, landed via Queenston-Lewiston, went smoothly, declared my goods to follow, and was on my merry way as an official permanent resident! :D I hope everyone waiting gets theirs quickly!

I think this forum system inhibits the ability to put the profile information and/or sig until some number of posts, I think maybe 5 or 10. It frustrated me to no end when I joined and couldn't do it. ;)
