I've heard that the US Police Certificates via FBI processing takes 8-10 weeks... is that right? yikes!! I was hoping to turn in my application in 3 weeks any hopeful stories of getting Cert. back quicker?

Anybody's thoughts on Nexus cards? Worth it? - since I would be crossing a couple times a week or is it a red-flag? (like they can trace the amount of time I'm staying in Canada vs. the US) thanks to all =)

thank you. I understand much more now. One more Question: While my Passport is sent to Buffalo- (3-4 weeks) Is there other identification/paperwork I can use to cross the border into Canada and back to the US or during that time I have to stay in the States? thanks so much!

This is my question too- I see lots of talk of waiting for a Medical Request before doing the exam- I was under the impression the Medical Exam can be done with the forms in the PR App found on the CICS website and planned on doing mine first and then sending it with the application (Spousal)...

Question in regards to Medical Exam- let's say processing will be filed in the US DO I have to wait for some specific papers to be sent to me before doing the medical exam? or are the papers in the application package (via CICS) sufficient to have it done beforehand? thanks for anyone's input

Thanks for sharing your experience- good info. SO you- AllisonVSC- had a temporary Resident Visa (for Canada)? If, so- Would I need to get one of those? Does one have to physically go to Buffalo w/ Passport once approved? Or is there a period where my original passport has to be sent...

Thanks for your situation/experience... I hold my breath too, just because it's not like we're trying to take advantage of anything, it's just wanting to be with my husband and his family. Did you file for your husband's PR in Canada yet? If so, did you do so "Outside"? Anyone out there...

thanks - very good info one more thing- what do mean when you refer to "losing the app"?

THanks PMM- (you sure seem like a pro with this stuff- appreciate it) In the above situation I described, would it be better to apply "outside" of Canada (in US)? If so, would I still be allowed to stay up here in BC? I'm trying to and want to be as honest as possible w/ the Gov. in all this-...

Thanks to all participating in this post- So to clarify - if I apply outland, can I get a "visitor visa" in that time to be staying here in BC? During my "visit" can I still crossing the border maybe 2-3 times a week to go to my part-time job in the States? OR should I apply "inside" and...

Thanks so much (mitamata) for your input- a couple more questions for you, if you have a minute- If I apply out-land, can I continue staying with my husband in BC? should I apply for an official "visitor visa" for the time my app is in process? Or can I just come on "visits"? Also, what do...

I am a US Citizen married to Canadian Citizen. I am in BC (lower-mainland) right now "visiting" and I have my residence in Northern Washington. Should I apply for my PR as "In Canada" or "Outside of Canada"? I want to be in BC without any hassles, but able to go across the border too. I have...
