Hi gang, Does anyone have a good link to review the tax laws for Canada/USA. Specifically, my hubby's present US employer is going to allow him to continue to work remotely for them when he immigrates to Canada (so still doing US work). I just want to see what tax implications that would have...

Go here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.asp Pick 'sponsoring a family member' and then whatever suits your situation in the next drop down :)

If it helps from a timeline perspective, we sent the hubby's FBI stuff/prints out in September. He just got his docs needed for CIC last week.

So brutal! It's 2015. You'd think they'd have gotten their stuff together by now. There really is no excuse for them losing stuff these days. What is "CSE"?

That's exactly what I was thinking on both accounts :)

Yeah thanks. I meant to post here and was going to delete off the October outland but got distracted at work :)

So we just got our FBI. We don't have SA yet but we have AoR (and so a UCI # to reference). So we are going to both send a scanned version using their contact web form and then send the original via courier the office where our docs are presently sitting (Mississauga right now). If we had SA...

That sucks. I have little trust for Canada Post right now. I think I may do both anyway.

Yes, I would think so. We have AoR and I can see that my hubby's medical is already received when checking our application status.

Hey gang! Quick question - hubby finally got his stuff back from the FBI. Do you know if CIC wants originals? Does it make sense to submit it online and also send the originals? We have our UCI and AoR but no SA (if that matters). Thoughts? Thanks!

Hey gang! Congrats to all those that are getting some good news. I'm hoping the rest of us will get some this week :) Quick question - hubby finally got his stuff back from the FBI. Do you know if CIC wants originals? Does it make sense to submit it online and also send the originals...

As you've noted, technically he can only stay in Canada as a visitor for 6 months. My hubby comes up here for 3 months at a time periodically. So: 1) It hasn't made it harder for my hubby; however, he still has a job in the USA (they let him work remotely) and he has a return ticket. He's...

I didn't get AoR in the mail or via email. I randomly checked online and basically saw I had AoR and they'd sent me other documentation (which I've now received). I'm still waiting for SA myself. I suspect they'll mail it. CIC isn't very consistent in how they handle the cases (we provided...

Congrats - that's awesome! That timeline is pretty decent. Gives me some hope :)

Oh this is awesome to read. So eventually when my hubby gets all his stuff we can just drive to a border crossing and do it from there if he's here in BC? So awesome!

Yeah I'd agree with the above statement. The Canadian process is quite lengthy (though a bit less lengthy for Canada-US relationship where you're applying as outland as compared to other foreign countries). Don't just look at jobs though. Make sure you compare cost of living, benefits at...

She'll likely only be eligible for a visitor visa for whatever length (I'm not sure what the limits are). She would have to leave the country when it expires, of course. She will need proof she can support herself but I suppose you can be the proof. Basically they will want to feel...

Yup! That's the number. I always seem to get all these informational options but never an option to actually speak to someone. Is there a secret path? We haven't been told our SA is coming - I'm making assumptions, haha. It's funny that you say at least they didn't send the package back -...

Woah - you reached someone? An actual person? What kind of magic did you do to actually get a person? Happy new year everyone and congrats to all those that are continuing to get good news! I finally got a piece of mail from CIC. Turns out that we had to fill out an IMM0008DEP even though my...

Not if she is on a visitor visa. You would have had to apply as inbound if she was staying in Canada
