Well I'm not surprised, not too long ago they let a convicted murderer go on a temporary absence with one cop to supervise him, not too far from where I live. In the process he escaped from the officer, led the cops on a high speed chase, and took a woman hostage...

I think I heard about that guy before. Well Canada needs to ship him off. If he's wanted for charges elsewhere then they need to deport him and send him back to China. But it's stories like that that make me upset, because others see his story and start thinking of Canada as being a safe haven...

I just told my boyfriend about this article and he smiled and said that "maybe Canada is finally growing a pair." But I agree with dair2dv8103100. The trials themselves, in addition to the appeals that the accused will most definitely go for, will cost taxpayers alot also. Hopefully though all...

Oh wow, that was quick once you were able to resend it in. I'm hoping mine will go as quickly as that.

Ok, so I'm in Canada on a work permit, what if I volunteered to hand out fliers and such? Would that be considered "work"?

Crillz how long did it take for you to get your passport request? Just wondering cause my boyfriend and I will be applying as common law after living together a little over a year. And congrats throwmyapples! I hope your processing time is swift and you get your PR soon. :)

I'm wondering if it's ok to send copies of cards myself since I too don't want to lose the ones that my boyfriend and I have exchanged. Anyone done that before, sent off copies of cards instead of the originals?

I agree with eletyl. At this point I'd wait and send in the application and go over it with a fine tooth comb while making sure you have everything mentioned in that checklist I linked to. It'd be much better to do that and have to wait a bit to send everything in than to send it in now and risk...

Taken from one of the guides for sponsorship in the US. It says "If you are a common-law or conjugal partner, provide evidence that your relationship is genuine and continuing and has existed for at least 12 months prior to your application. Also provide details of the history of your...

So good to hear happy endings like that. I haven't started on my application yet, but I can't wait till my boyfriend and I will be able to live together without worrying about having to get a visa every year or so, to make sure things stay that way.

I applied through the Buffalo office in early December and got the actual work permit in late January. Note, I believe it took longer to receive due to the holidays, so if you apply now it might go faster. I wouldn't apply at the border though because if you get turned down by the IO it will be...

You should be able to qualify. I got an intra-company transfer with the sister company of the retail store I used to work for in the US. I was only working part time as a sales associate, but because I had 3 years experience in my job I was able to qualify as having specialized knowledge. When...

I live in a small town in AB, had my full license for about a year before I came to Canada and my insurance is $100 a month.

I know there are a few stores in Canada, but the closest one to me is a 4 hour drive away in Edmonton. :(

Agreed, and the ones here are huge! My boyfriend and I were helping his parents move one day and they came out of nowhere. They looked like something out of Jurrasic Park. I also miss Victoria's Secret, Aeropostale, and being able to swim outside in a pool in the summer. Too cool to do that here...

Congrats, that's great news to hear!

Historically that is true, and look how long it took for black marriage and interracial marriages to come to fruitation in the US. That's all I'm saying. Now I'm happy that the US is taking a step forward in equality, but I also know from personal experience of being raised in the Southern US...

With the way some people have painted the everyday life for a postal worker, I keep imagining them as being replicas of Santa Claus who are decked out in postal service attire. Carrying their bag full of goodies (mail) around on their shoulders all day and slaving away to make sure everyone is...

I think interracial marriage and homosexual marriage are two different things. For one, alot of people in the US feel that by allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry is an attack on their faith and the institution of marriage. I say this because I'm from the South and know of alot of people...

I'm happy for you, but I don't think that same-sex marriages will ever be instituted nationwide in the US. Especially considering the attitude in the south toward gay marriage. Maybe in a few decades, but not anytime soon.
