Did a search and didn't see anything on here - has anyone who has exported and then imported their car from the US to Canada recently used the AESDirect site themselves to create a "shipment"? How did it go? I am thinking of doing it myself as it doesn't seem too difficult...

Thanks! I figured as much but it's always nice to have confirmation from this forum... :D

I have my COPR and I need to officially land, but I am already a visitor in Canada (in Toronto). Should I go to the airport (Pearson) or would it be better to take more time and go to a border crossing (Lewiston, etc.)? Obviously the airport is closer but if it would be smoother I can plan a...

I got two copies of my COPR (that you need to take to the border when you land) along with a letter that has instructions on what to do. One copy of the COPR had one of the photos that I had sent in with my application attached. Hope this helps!

Yep! I hope this means you'll get yours in the right place too!

So... I got my COPR today, in the mail, at our address in Canada. It was issued on the 1st. I am pretty surprised that it came through in less than 5 months - I wasn't expecting it so soon. Crazy! Now I have to officially land and import my car, so I'll hopefully be able to share those...

After all of this... I got my COPR from the CIC here in Toronto, TODAY. Crazy! :o

Thanks! I tried that now too - not sure why I didn't find it before... Such a pain! I hope it works...

Not sure about the forward. I submitted a paper request form (you couldn't do it online) to the USPS before we left in March and so far I haven't seen much forwarded, although we didn't usually get a lot of mail anyway. This is what it says on the USPS site: A permanent Change of Address (COA)...

Unfortunately I think it's just the main CIC Call Centre as shown here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/call.asp I got the email for Ottawa from this page: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/canada/ottawa.asp#permanent I love how it says "If you do not tell CIC or the visa...

Hey folks… sorry if I inadvertently caused a stir with my comments about getting DM. I really was just speculating (which is all we can do, apparently) and never said anything was perfect or meant to be insensitive. I honestly just randomly logged on to ECAS on Monday and saw the update, and I’m...

Nope, it definitely went to Ottawa. I still don't know what "Decision Made" officially means... But if it is good news I am wondering if our situation (being together for 9 years, married for 7, 2 Canadian kids with proof of citizenship, no criminal records or health issues) and the fact that we...

I better call them ASAP about our address then - thanks!

Thanks! I'll give it a week or so and then I'll call.

I checked ECAS today and saw that my status changed to DM - "A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision." After you get this, what do you get from the CIC? I hope it's an email... I'm so nervous that it is either a technical error or that...

It seems like there's really no definitive way to tell. A lot of factors are involved...

You have to export/import the car from the US in addition to declaring it on your B4 when you land. There is a lot of info on this subject if you search the forum. Here is a detailed account of one user's experience...

It's Ottawa. I couldn't update the 2015 sheet - the cell is locked. I had originally put Mississauga before I knew the process. Does anyone know if I'll definitely get an email and not have to wait for something to come in the mail? I also didn't get any sort of notification of the change in...

Logged in as sponsor (my husband) and as me (PA) and both sections say "Decision Made". So anxious to know what the decision is!

I show "Decision Made" on ECAS but I haven't gotten anything from the CIC yet - the site says "The office will contact you concerning this decision." Will they send an email or snail mail or both? I tried updating our address to where we are now in Canada and it didn't go through. So anxious...
