    Question about checking application status online

    It may physically be there, but they may not have opened up the package, inspected the contents, and started your process. I sent an application October 12th and never received a letter from the CIC until December 20th which told me the office received my application December 3rd. The letter...

    export a car from us to canada as a new immigrant

    This website ought to be able to answer most of your questions: http://www.riv.ca/importingavehicle.aspx Importing a vehicle can be complex and costly. You will also need to check what the individual province requires as well. For instance: If you were importing the vehicle to Alberta, you...

    What's it like to live in Canada?

    Several countries obsess over the U.S. because they think it is some great, amazing country; however, even more countries laugh at the U.S. and its citizens' ignorance of the world and what goes on in it. The majority never travel outside its borders and they only listen to mainstream news...

    What's it like to live in Canada?

    If you don't mind my asking, what profession were you seeking employment for? It probably won't help me since I am more blue-collar/middle class, but it might help someone else who also plans to work in your profession to be prepared for a difficult job search. Btw, South Florida can be...

    What's it like to live in Canada?

    Which I totally understand because I know that the U.S. is the same way. All I'm trying to say is that if I didn't know any better, I could have easily assumed that all of Canada would offer the same treatment as one specific area. ALL of Canada is being portrayed by some as being a horrible...

    Social life in Canada vs USA

    Being from South Florida, I can attest to this lol. If you walk down the street here and start smiling and waving at everyone you are liable to get some funny looks. Start striking up conversations with random people and you might get slight hostility in return because we simply don't know...

    What's it like to live in Canada?

    If you want an example of how skewed some of these experiences seem, I will offer my own from the United States: People here in Florida are a mixture of un-friendly, passive-agressive, easily-offended, discriminatory, rude, arrogant, entitled, clueless, racists who would rather hit you with...

    What's it like to live in Canada?

    Because through all I have read on here, these 'personal experiences' are then projected onto the entire country, and to be quite frank, the majority of the negative comments stem from users who lived in one specific geopgraphical area (GTA). It is very easy for someone to come looking on here...

    What's it like to live in Canada?

    I haven't been on here long, but I have been reading through a few of the threads and I recognize some of the more consistent usernames and their prevailing opinions... I will not bring attention to anyone specific and my purpose for stating my opinion is just as a simple reminder that one, or...

    Edmonton, Alberta settlers Join here

    So far, the plan is for my wife and I to be settling in Edmonton in late April, early May of 2014... My wife is from there and I am from Florida, but thankfully, my dad and his family are all Canadian citizens so I am pursuing dual citizenship which would make this transition slightly easier...

    Application for citizenship certificate

    By looking at the form, I am fairly certain I put N/A next to the YES/NO boxes. I believe the website has a video showing how the form SHOULD be filled out (I didn't notice the video until after I already sent in my application), and it might also be of help. If not, in step 2 of the...

    Applying for Proof of Citizenship Urgently

    Would anyone happen to know the approximate timeframe is when you use this? (Can't post link yet, but Google "Applying for proof of Canadian Citizenship urgently") I am currently in the U.S. but I qualify/will qualify on 2 out of the 4 reasons since I am moving to Canada with my wife. I...

    Application for citizenship certificate

    I also put N/A. To me, it seemed as though the form assumes both of your parents are Canadian citizens.
