Not USA citizens, but USA permanent residents also get often their cases sent to Ottawa VO.

I paid USD$445 in California, USA last summer. Plus $150 for repeating a test that the doctor was unsure of the results (my doctor find no abnormal results). I am not including the expenses related to the trip.

Hi srea21, You both must be very stressed out, but remember, life is full of complications--yet, they don't last forever. Do you have health insurance in the US? I don't know if you would find this useful, but I just read in another thread in this forum (see link below) that it is possible...

You are welcome! I was requested various documents, and I was not able to send all at the same time. I sent what I had, with a letter explaining why I was sending only some documents, and that I would be sending the rest later. Once I was ready to send the rest I send another letter explaining...

Hi Ricaldine, and Happy 2016 to all! Regarding the FBI letter, CIC does not accept one obtained via third party. I initially had sent one obtained that way, and they told me I needed to send an original from the FBI. Unfortunately, it is taking about three months to get one, but you can send...

Thanks sashali78! We are finding all kinds of "excitements." We imported our car, and there is no alternative but to go Canadian Tire to do the process of inspection required by the Government. Well, The mechanic broke a part while checking the vehicle, made us waste all day Friday, and their...

Hi all, Just checking how everyone is doing. I finally landed in Canada a few weeks ago. We moved to a house a bit on a somewhat rural location, and getting an internet provider was quite a problem. That made me feel all of a sudden completely isolated from friends and family abroad, and...

Hi all, I am having trouble opening the Ottawa spreadsheet. I wanted to update my information, as I just landed in Canada. :)

Hi, I did my transaction in Mexico directly, and didn't request the the "Carta de Datos Registrales" from the PGR in Mexico until I received an email from CIC requesting it. Nonetheless, I know that the "Carta de Datos Registrales" is valid for 30 days only. Perhaps they received yours at CIC or...

I will wait until they ask.

Hola, estás en México o en Colombia? Si estás en México puedes hacer el trámite directamente en la PGR y estará lista tu carta en 10 días. Vas a necesitar la carta de la embajada, pero la puedes pedir directamente en la embajada, a mi me la dieron en 15 minutos.

I received mine back in about 10 days.

Yes they work. You may also want to try a combination of these, and let's say letters of family members (preferably notarized) that describe your plans and intentions of your return to Canada.

A detailed written statement of your plans, and the information from your company if you have it is good for the moment. CIC will likely ask you for further information/proof. You could include notarized letters from family members in Canada who know of your plans to move, and perhaps are...

I like your way of thinking!! Thanks for the advice! :)

I believe there is no flexibility on the dates once CIC schedules an appointment for interview. I agree with Aquakitty that the chances are low for American citizens.

Hi CANzanillo, We also had explained and sent proofs of "Evidence of intention to re-establish in Canada" and "Intent to Reside in Canada" from the beginning, but were asked by CIC to send further information about it. We re-stated some of the info already provided, and added some other...
