    Label documents in citizenship application

    I did not use a cover letter, but I did use labels to make it easier (faster) to sort through pages. I wanted to minimize the number of passes through the documents and minimize the time spent on each page to determine if our application was complete. I used 3"x3" sticky labels to "clip" the...

    I lost my landing paper :(

    We were missing 1 COPR. In January 2014, we filled out the Verification of Status form and included a copy of the receipt and a signed letter of explanation with our citizenship applications. They were accepted without any issues. We received the VOS by email after 6 months.

    How Many American Citizens Moving to Canada?

    It's an expression. Someone else already referred to the US as a sinking ship, the Titanic, even. Hey, at least it's in English. What's "deekra"? If you're worried about exhorbitant taxes, Canada is not the place for you. All these services aren't really free. The property taxes you pay on...

    How Many American Citizens Moving to Canada?

    People thought we moved from the US to Canada for political reasons 2 years ago, but my husband got a job offer he couldn't resist. Of course, if we were Republican, we wouldn't have considered the offer. I did feel as if we were abandoning ship.
