There's someone else on the forum who basically got the PPR request directly without an AOR from NY...so i think the procedure is quite random. NG

NYCtoNB, did you receive an AOR from NYC? or did you directly receive your PPR? My application was transferred to NYC on March 23 and have not heard anything yet from them. NG

Depends on what country your drivers license is from. There are detailed instructions on this if you google how to obtain a drivers license in Ontario. NG

Dr_sarwat, were you in the US before you got your J1 visa? and where is ure permanent application visa being processed? NG

Hey all, I apologize in advance if this has already been answered elsewhere. My permanent residence application is currently being processed in NY (file was transferred from the Buffalo office on March 23 after spouse was accepted as a sponsor) and now I might have a job offer from an...

I wonder if the situation would be different if you have lived in the US previously. In my case, I have been in the US for the last 10 years as an international student and now I am on a J-1 scholar visa. Once I move to Canada, I would certainly like to be able to return to the US to meet...

Wow that was quick! Congrats! I've been in the US for 10 yrs but I'm an Indian citizen and had the option of sending my file to Buffalo or Delhi...and I choose Buffalo as I thought it would be more convenient...my file has now been transfered to NYC...its been a little more than a week...no...

Another option if you think the passport might be lost is apply for a new one ASAP. You could probably visit the closest US embassy or consulate and get the process rolling. I would still try and get in touch with NY first though, have you already sent them faxes and emails. NG

Also, I also know that documents can get stuck in customs for 3-10 days and during that time period the USPS has no control over the package...so its possible that your passport is stuck in customs for some reason. If you are unable to track the package on the USPS website, you could try calling...

Have you tried using the same tracking number from Canada Post on the USPS website? My dad once sent a document from India using Indian Post Express, and there is an international section on the USPS website that allowed me to enter the same tracking number and track the parcel in the US NG

You could probably do an online course, or take a short course for less than 6 months (assuming of course that your visa is valid). You will be applying for a visit visa while a permanent residence application is being processed, and so depending on your situation, they may or may not give you a...

If you have a valid visit visa, I don't see why you cannot visit him and also perhaps extend your visit while you wait for the PR to come through. The only concern may be that you might be called for an interview wherever your application is being processed and you would have to return for the...

Apparently earlier in the morning seems to be better.

Doubt it, you need a visit visa even if you are a resident. Try getting an appointment Ottawa, they usually have lots of spots available there. NG

Thanks guys, we were able to get the confirmation of receipt.

Do they also confirm if the application was received (not that it is being processed, but just received?). We submitted an application for our parents in Aug 2009 and have not heard anything from them yet (no form of acknowledgment). We have no idea if they even received it. Unfortunately, we...

My spouse (Canadian resident) sent in an application for sponsorship of her parents in August 2009 to Mississauga. She has not received a confirmation of receipt as of yet. She tried calling them up (18882422100) but was unable to get through. Not sure if she has the right number. In any case...

I received this exact same email today! All of my documents have already been submitted (i.e. police clearances, medical certificates, fees) so I hope it does not take too long. Does anyone know the percentage of spouses that are called in for interviews? NG

Thanks guys for the replies.

Hi, I currently live in New York City and need state clearances for NY, TX and MA for my permanent residence application (sponsored by spouse who lives in Canada). I just received fingerprint cards and an application form from the NY Division of Criminal Justices for the NY state. I've also...
