Qorax, Awesome and useful thread! I'm planning to land in Jan 2010 from South Africa (SA). My wife is canadian(living with me in SA) and we've been regularly transferring money from my SA bank account to her Canadian bank account. Do I still need to show POF? If so, would proof of the...

CJ what an awesome writeup! Thanks a million and I'm following this very closely. :D I'm planning to move to Toronto at the end of Jan 2011. My employer has offered me work in Toronto i.e company transfer, but they are being quite slow with producing the contract and I'm kind of considering...

Yep that is the plan. Cheers

Thanks mate. I'll do this and just get the PR card couriered to me in the US.

Apologies if this is a common question.... I'm planning to land in early 2011 and then go onto the US 2-3 days after landing... 1.) Can I do this? 2.) Would it be better to get the PR card before leaving Canada? i.e it makes things easier when i want to get back into Canada? 3.) Can the PR...

Hi all, Thought I'd start a topic for websites you found useful when buying your car in Canada. The popular one I've found so far is, www.autotrader.ca Thx

Thanks for the info. What kind of IT work do you do at the moment in the US? Thx

Applied Outland in early April and received my passport this morning with the PR visa. ;D Quite surprised on how short the process was. All told, 4 months... Looks like I will have to present myself to the border within the next 6 months. Thanks everyone and all the best with your...

Wow. So this is much harder than I expected. Thanks for the response

Very well said. 8)

Hi all, So I sent in my passport to get the PR stamp and found out later that my granddad passed away. Now I need to fly overseas i.e. need the passport back, to attend the funeral. Can I just go and ask for the passport and return it to the embassy for the PR visa when I get back? Anyone else...

So I checked my email and got a bit of a shock. Wait for it... They are asking for my passport to issue my visa (5-10 working days). :o No interview, no extra medical and only 4 months after sending in the app. :o 8) I was skeptical (some spam mail made it through my email filters) as I was...

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp Should give you all the info.

Hi everyone, I'm applying for my PR outland (South Africa) and have the option to work in the US soon after I get the PR. I have no North American work experience so I see this as an opportunity to get some. Do Canadian employers value the US work experience? I've heard a lot of stories of new...

I finally showed up on eCas today! ;D So another 6 months (going with the average processing times) and I'll be approved. 8) Good luck everyone!

Hi all, Firstly, apologies if this is covered somewhere else. Send me a link and I'll gladly read on! ;D So the wife(Canadian) and I will be moving to the the Great White North in the next 3 months but not sure exactly where (Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver???). For fellow Saffers what was the...

Finally got the letter in the post and my wife has been approved as my sponsor. The name is spelt correctly in the letter.

Linda, Firstly, I'm really sorry to hear this. Unrequited love is a bitch and it hurts especially after getting to the point of engagement. My, now, wife and I had a long distance relationship for 1.5 years while dating. I'm in South Africa. We met in SA and she went back to Calgary for work...

Brilliant! Got Decision Made on ecas website after I used my sponsor's name. Hopefully the decision is good! :D ;D BTW they have my middle name spelled incorrectly. Should I inform them of this?

Good story ;D. Luckily it's all sorted! Good luck everyone. Keep us all posted on your success and travails.... Out of curiosity, for those who applied, are you planning to move to CA as soon as you get the PR?
