If all goes well then 35 to 50 calender days. In my case they rejected my photo because of which it got delayed. I got rejection letter in 2 months after which I redid my pics and sent over again to CIC. It took another 2 weeks after that for PR cards to arrive. I hope you don't have to go...

You can go to a professional photographer who knows how to modify picture size in tools such as Photoshop. I did all my pics at home. I have expensive DSLR camera and a photo printer. All my pictures got accepted except the last batch due to which my PR card delivery also got delayed. I...

HR, You may wait for Qorax for his reply (you are right he is a genius) but to answer your second question, AVR is definitely valid for H1/H4 visas. Your passport doesn't have to be stamped with valid visa to use AVR. As long as there is an expired visa on your passport you are good to go...

To all who have questions about how to return back to US with unstamped passport, read below. This is my landing experience from last year. Hope it helps! http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/landed-successfully-used-avr-l1-expired-current-status-h1-t116894.0.html#new

Hello, I'll be moving to Canada in 3 weeks. I would like to know the best way to move luggage from Detroit to Windsor. I also have a car. Not sure how would I move all my stuff to Canada. Forum members who have done it before please share all your experience. Thanks,

soop and other fellow forum members who are planning to land: Take a chill pill! No need to worry about anything - AVR, USD or Bank Statement. Here is my landing experience from last year. Had no issues, was pretty straight forward. It has answers of most, if not all, of your questions...

Hello Soop, I am not aware of what happens at all the borders across the United States. However, if you go by land, my understanding is that nobody cares if you are leaving the country. It's the country that you are entering where security officers will be most concerned. In my case, I...

Yes, I landed in my own car. Had title of car with me as well. I believe landing in a rented car shouldn't be an issue. As a matter of fact, a lot of people prefer going in a rented car. You should be fine. Good luck!

Soop, Yes, US bank statements are totally acceptable. I used BoA statements along with Bank Verification Letter with no issues. Here is my landing experience in case you are interested to read...

No, you shouldn't have to. If somebody asks you to surrender, tell them that you'll use AVR to return back to US and will need I-94. Don't worry too much about it. A lot of people have done it in the past. No disrespect intended but if you are too concerned about it then why don't you go...

You should never submit I-94 while crossing US border into Canada. You'll be in huge trouble while coming back. I don't know which bridge will you take to go to Niagara falls. I went to Canada through Detroit Ambassador bridge in August this year and there was no one at the bridge to ask for...

It is indeed expsensive. But I had no other option either. Moreover, it wasn't a straight forward thing. They took photo and modified in photoshop which took around 10-15 minutes to finalize. But anyways, I wasn't too much worried about the cost. You get excellent service in return of what...

Just to add to my previous post. I paid $23 (USD) for 2 photos. If you need more than 2, they charge $5 for each additional photo.

You are right! But in my case photos were taken at my home. We took each other's photo. I have professional DSLR camera with good external flash and all that good stuff. I also have good photo printer. Overall, I was satisfied with my pics because all my previous pics were accepted without...

Just an update. Indeed, it turned out that there was an issue with photographs we provided. I have since sent new pics taken by professional photographer. Hopefully, I won't have issues this time.

Hello, My wife's PR card was delivered last friday to the Canadian address I had provided at the time of landing. However, my son's and my own card have not been delivered yet. I read in some forums posts that people who ran into similar issues later found that their photo didn't meet the...

Hello Tridmax, That's the ultimate plan :-) However, I still haven't been hired by the potential employer. My employment will be purely based upon if they are ready to hire in Canadian Branch or not. I just wanted to make sure that I understand the process before I approach the HR with...

USH1B, I live in Michigan. Thank you for the info! Which profession are you in, BTW? I am an Information/Network Security professional. Regards,
