I agree with Kapal...visit if you can. And visit places you think you might like to live in. The Atlantic Provinces (which I love) are not anything like Toronto or Montreal. And while I have no experience out west, I suspect that things are different there, too. The weather is a factor. I...

Hi, Hope you have received good news. I landed on August 2 at Woodstock, NB. The process was only complicated by my having to import my car. I had to leave the title at the US Customs office 72 hours before driving across so that they could check to make sure it was not stolen nor had any...

Thank you. I am hoping things will go smoothly. I am in Canada for the summer, anyway, but will go back to Maine at the end of the month to gather my mail (including my passport, I hope!!) and then...Landing! What a process. Yet I know that the timeline from US is not bad compared to many...

Congratulations and thanks so much for the post. I am looking forward to landing in the next few weeks. My passport is in NY getting the visa stamp. Good to know that the process can go smoothly if you are prepared. I am especially appreciative of the note to have the title to the car...

Thanks, PMM. I will check that out. It does seem that my situation is a bit complicated; I own a house and have a domestic partner in Canada, and I plan to open a practice there (I am a psychotherapist) even before my academic appointment expires. My tax residence really WILL be in Canada...

Hi, Yes, apparently I made an error. My medical exam was December 7th, 2006. The good news is that I got a the passport request letter last week. It was dated June 22, 2007. So they are right on track according to the processing times. Fifty percent of skilled worker applications to...

Hi, everyone. Well, I finally got the PPR and now I am wondering about a strategic time to land. My visa will expire December 7, 2007, so it has to be in this tax year. I spoke with Canada Revenue Agency yesterday. I will be keeping my job in the US. I will have to file a tax form in the US...

Thank you very much. Leslie ann

Hmm, what about going to Toronto as a foreign student? That information is available on the web, too, and I bet if you contacted an appropriate university and applied there, the university could help point you in the correct direction. They are invested in making it easier for foreign...

Congratulations, Ozzie and Eduardo, You have both offered so much to this forum, and now you offer HOPE that the process actually will work and that patience is the virtue we need to cultivate. I have so much enjoyed Eduardo's positive and gentle responses to queries....I hope we continue to...

Hi, I am a US citizen and I bought a house in Canada. Since I have an immigration application in process, I asked the immigration officer at the place where I cross (and will ultimately land) about this well before I did it. I have been very careful to do nothing to jeopardize my application...

Hello, I had my medical exam on December 7. I have scarring on one lung due to pneumonia last summer, and the physician told me I would probably hear from Ottawa. He was right: in early February I got a request for further testing. I need a repeat x ray and a sputum test to rule out...

Hi, Godly, Of course you can visit but for a limited time. You might want to visit, anyway, to see if Canada is all that you expect it to be. It is a big country, geographically, and has many different aspects. For example, Toronto and the Atlantic provinces could not be more different...
