    Neither DHL or FedEx offer prepaid waybills in El Salvador, the only thing close is the DHL branch at the Visa Application Centre, but they only serve Guatemala, not Mexico. UPS does offer prepaid returns and that's where we were. Our package was sent Monday and it arrived at Mexico Tuesday...

    Supporting Documents Translation

    We separated the official documents (marriage and birth certificates, police records, etc.) from the "unofficial" ones (like email messages, chat logs, letters, postcards, etc.) and got a certified, registered translator to do the official documents. The translator is approved by the local...

    Chuladaa, what happened with us is that we had done the medicals long before submitting the application, so basically when we finally were ready to apply the medicals were about to reach the expiration date but we decided to file anyways, expecting them to send us some form to re-do the...

    URGENT HELP: Form IMM 0008 or IMM8 & Updated family information

    agree with canuck in uk. They're apparently giving you the opportunity to disclose further changes to your family, like another child, etc. So if no other changes besides the one indicated earlier, then you should be ok.

    smontenegro, if we go by our timeline, you shouldn't be too far off from getting PPR. Our app was approved by Mississauga back in October, the VO sent AOR on December 4, 2012, e-Cas changed to "In Process" on January 17, 2013, they sent PPR the next day but my wife did not received it so they...

    hey Dazz13, that's great, so you'll be reunited with your family fairly soon! My wife doesn't plan to land until mid July; as you may imagine there's a lot of stuff to get sorted out with her belongings and such. Anyways, I need to ask if anybody in this thread has experience with delivering...

    Questions on Proof of Relationship and Dependent Listing

    canuck in uk is right. All children, irrespective of their status in Canada, MUST be included otherwise you may be charged with misrepresentation and your application refused.

    Thanks Eduram. I've never dealt with DHL directly, but the company I worked for used the service for merchandise and document shipping! Anyways, it's a relief to know that, theirs is the best quote I've got in terms of service standards and costs, so I'll trust them my family's documents this...

    How to land after approval

    I haven't done this myself but I'm certain that you can follow through with your plan of bringing your husband's truck first and figure out when to move your van at a later time. Apparently (and other forum members who've done this before can pitch in here) you'll need to fill out a Goods To...

    Looking for basic advise

    Sakamath has explained it clearly. Also, Reflectoman provided a good alternative in simple words. If you like reading and don't mind the dense language of official guides, you can read the Operational Manual: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op02-eng.pdf Good luck.
