So I'm moving from northern Washington to Van. BC. I currently live by myself, so I have a whole apartment worth of things (closets, clothes, bed, table, chairs, couch, tv, dishes, etc.) and since I live so close I'm just driving up. How much stuff is too much? I'm planing on bringing my...

Well I didn't legally change my name on anything till after I had applied by about a month or so. Not even my SSN. Because we had just gotten married. How would that be a red flag? Is a decision made in just a few days normal or odd?

any ideas the quickest way to contact them? I can't call the call centre because you can only call within Canada and the Ottawa office doesn't have a phone number that I can find. Should I just wait for my CORP, will that have any contact info?

We also asked before applying if I should apply in my maiden name or married name and they said apply in maiden name if the name change is not legally complete yet. IE passport, ID, SSN, etc.

I sent an email asking if I need to submit new documents but they never replied. that was over a month ago. I still have all my old documents, but they are punched. AHHH now I'm worried!

YAY HAPPY DANCE TIME! I have a concern though. I applied in my maiden name but I have since changed it to my married name. Will they affect anything? Thanks

I mean 8 days from time they started processing it.

Nope. No interview no request. Just decision made. and in 8 days none the less. Thanks so much! Any idea how soon I will be contacted? Thanks again!

Yes I'm talking about that one, for myself, the primary applicant/immigrant. My application was being processed at the Ottawa office.

So I just saw that a dicision was made on my application and it says the office will contact me I n regards to the decision. Does anyone have an experience with how long it will be before we hear from them now? Also do the call me (primary applicant) or my husband (sponsor)? Thanks! :D

You might be eligible. I would recommend looking over things on the cic website under "sponsorship"

Mapleson, That's pretty rude and judgmental for you to say. I think most people would appreciate a faster process, I'm not alone in being annoyed that I have to wait to be with my spouse. I'm also fully aware of the tables, steps, etc. I was simply asking if anyone had any experience with how...

I'm getting nervous about "landing" once I get me PR Visa. I live so close to where I'll be moving in BC, I plan to just take my things with me in the car and drive up. My question(s) are, Can I drive up? Do I need to get any documentation for "importing" my car since I'll be keeping it in...

True, the only problem is that they ask me every time when I'll be back and if I say more than a day or so, they'll call me in for questioning/not let me in. So if I stayed longer, I'd be lying and wouldn't that work against me? I already have a file saying I'm suspect of trying to immigrate...

I was just wondering if I would be able to get a visitor visa to live with my husband while we wait for my PR. I don't need one to visit.

Okay that answers my question. Yes I am a US Citizen. Yes they are supposed to ask less questions, but they don't even though I've had my nexus for a while and it's been almost 2 years since the "incident". I just deal with it every time, it's just annoying cuz 1, I hold up the line and 2...

Someone suggested that I could get a visitors visa while waiting for my PR. HOWEVER, I live very close to my spouse (about a 45 minute drive, He lives is lower BC, me Northern Washington) and I have NEXUS so we visit often. I also have had issues in the past with the officers wanting to see ties...

I can't for sure answer all these questions, but here is what we did: 1) I would put the date YOU received YOUR PR, even if it was the same of your day your dad got his, they want to know about you. Sometimes, they ask you the same question on every form/multiple times. 2) Usually, they say...

So... My husband was approved to sponsor me back in November. My Application has said "Application Received" since then.. No movement. When do they normally start ACTUALLY processing the application? Mine is in Ottawa and the current wait is 15 months... is that for them to start looking at it...
