or.. change status to F-1 (student) or tourist... then you can stay here while process pending.

red bulls aside, it'll be quite a summer road trip cross-country... am sure it'll be plenty of fun along the way ;)

Hmm.. I would suggest moving during Summer / Fall term - when the weather is a bit warmer. Feb / March of this year were still snowing (and not sure about next year) and make it a bit harder to move - but that's just my thought...

I am keeping my car since it's on the list of the admissible cars - and you don't have to incur additional time / browsing for cars there especially if your is still in good condition. About odometer / speedometer, my car has both in it and I believe the only thing my car doesn't have is the...

Mumbai + cchabert: Basically all articles are on line. You just need to get the recall clearance from the dealer, ensure your car is clear from all recalls, and check the list of vehicle admissible.. and check where you plan to cross - and contact that office 72 hours before arriving and...

Congratulations to ALL - inge, poppy, and all. I'm planning to drive from FL to AB - my brother and I are going to drive using his car (he has a truck) and we are towing my car and all my luggages go to his car. We are going to drive 48 hours straight, and plan to arrive in Calgary on Sept 1...

Congrats Sukh! Finally, it all paid off! Enjoy new life in AB!

Congrats!

You all, eventually, will get PR and have prosperous new life in Alberta. I have been in contact with some Calgarians - so far my experiences have been VERY POSITIVE! From looking a place to stay, network thru associations/website and all have been very friendly, courteous, and respectful...

I believe, as long as the address in Canadian based, it will be okay.

The PR definitely has expiration date - 1 year from medical result submitted. And PR effective is when you landed at the border. And you have to stay at least 700+ days (about 3 years) out of 5 years to be eligible for Citizenship.

Interesting.. I, too, plan to exit at North Dakota since it's closer than one in Montana. But, eventually I'll drive to Calgary from North Dakota. I read somewhere in the forum that it's okay to exit at the border anywhere and arrive in Alberta later on. As long as you do the landing in...

Unfortunately, I got it thru regular mail - they did not use my express mail I included - My guess is, the express mail I submitted, did not have enough stamps. Either way, I got it within the time limit.

Thanks despo: Good luck to you as well.

Sent it 2 weeks ago.

All: Just got my passport in the mail. I am off to Calgary - driving and towing my car by the end of August. Good luck to everyone!

Nomad: Congrats. You will probably get something by Thurs or Fri this week. NYC is handling your case?
