These geniuses have our files sitting on a ceremony ready shelf. Not like we've been waiting or anything.

Possibly the worst office. Stuck like you.

You need to get a loan in Canada to cover the amount in the US.

Interest rate is lower in Canada, and I'm tired of exchanging money every few months.

If you're American, you might wanna check with your accountant. I believe TFSAs create problems with the IRS.

Hello, I recently became a PR in Canada. I'm looking to move over my health professional student loans (about $150K american) to Canada. Does anyone have advice on this? I've been to the major banks and it seems like right around prime. Are credit unions worth checking out? Also, any...

Is this in business days or regular days?

Don't over think it! lol You will be fine.

Yep, just have him explain. What do you have to lose?

I don't have a birth certificate for similar reasons. Fortunately, my parents somehow had a Baptism certificate. I wrote a letter explaining. Everything was fine.

Can't the new employer sponsor him for a new work permit? There is nothing that says he can't have two.

I think you can do the medical now. It's good for a year and the processing time is 4-6 months. So having it done doesn't hurt.

I have a similar timeline to both of you. It's coming soon. It updated on ECAS first, then we got the e-mail for PPR. I know it's hard and the anxiety builds up, but once it's all done, it's great. :-)

Lol! I find the whole concept of the new forms puzzling. It was stated that new package was announced in December. I applied before that. I had called and asked about submitting old package and if I should be concerned. They said not to worry, it doesn't change anything for the old package...

Did you check application status on ECAS?

Thanks! I'm sure yours will be there soon! Just sent all my stuff via Xpresspost.

Hi Everyone, I got my PPR today. It says not to fill out the address section in the return envelope. Won't Canada Post care? Also my address is listed in the USA. But, I signed the form so my spouse can act on my behalf. Who will they be sending it to? Thanks! EDIT: NVM, I clearly cannot...

1. Definitely Outland. Without a doubt unless you want to wait 2-3 years for inland. 2. That's pretty much in the packet. Nothing fancy. Just follow instructions. 3. Yes it is simple. I have a work permit in Canada. I got DM last week, hopefully a good decision. We shall see. But a work permit...
