Hi all, Does anyone have experience with buying property as an incoming PR? There is a condo I am interested in, but I am not approved for PR yet so I would believe I would be considered a foreign buyer if I make an offer now. However, I did read that there is some kind of refund if I become a...

Regarding Biometrics: If your first set is rejected, they will send you a new letter to take with you. Check the information again, it is NOT the same letter. On mine, they somehow switched my Place of Birth and my Citizenship. According to my consultant they will fix this mistake on their own...

Yes, sorry - my mind wandered onto the wrong track :) They care that the husband is going to leave when his visa is not valid, but I was thinking along the lines that if he tries to come back after already having spent 6 months in Canada, he would need to prove a valid reason they should let him...

Update: Received my request for Right of PR Fee today, which according to my consultant is a good sign. You're welcome! I'm not sure I would advise re-entry, as he could potentially be denied (CBSA will know that he is waiting on a PR); I think most people would recommend filing for the...

Yes, CIC has been sending us letters via email - the sender is "CPCS Client Notification / Notification du client CTSD (IRCC)." My wife and I are both women, so no husband here :) Our checklist did not include the police check (we are also using an immigration consultant who did not have me...

Hello! Application Sent: September 12, 2019 from Vancouver Application Received: Sponsor: Canadian citizen (my spouse) Principal Applicant's Country: United States I'm working with an immigration consultant who thinks it will be a couple of months before we're reviewed and get a file number.

That sounds like it would work :) if I enter as a visitor and then she files to sponsor me, would I be allowed to stay until the application is approved?

Hi everyone, I am a US citizen, my wife is Canadian (married in the US on a K-1). We both currently reside in the US, but am planning to move back to Canada together, possibly sooner rather than later. Would it be a problem if we simply pack up a U-Haul and drive through the border, then have...

Thank you! I actually have an immigration lawyer handling that part for me, so mostly I'm just trying to figure out how my employment/taxes will work. :)

Hi all, I am a US citizen working for a US company. I may be moving to Canada eventually (and filing for PR), and my US employer would like to keep me as a remote employee. However, while I wait for my open work permit as a PR, I do not have a work visa. Because I am working for a US...
