@moose17 Yep. We're in "patient" mode, just waiting until we know if one of my wife's job opportunities materializes. If it does, we'll go into overdrive/ludicrous mode in how fast we'll get things done in order to move! Sorry about your mom. :( I kind of expect that to happen with my...

I'm very curious how many folks on this thread ended up applying for PR and moving? Count us in as folks who decided we'd had enough of mass shootings and crazy politics, and are looking at (hopefully) a little more sanity north of the border. We plan to land next month (got our COPRs), and...

Hi everyone. I'm just curious, is the whatsapp group still active? I tried joining it, but it doesn't seem to work. Sidenote, I've been reading on the news lately (I really should stop...), and I'm soooo happy we decided on moving. Knowing we're doing this keeps me sane. We just need to be...

That's what ours said as well and it seemed to be enough. Having said that, they later requested a RCMP criminal background check for me (the Canadian version of the FBI background check).

Hi @trumprefugee and @moose17! Our application actually just got approved this Friday, which is very exciting (and stress relieving) for us. COPR should be here on Monday (per FedEx). :-) On why we're immigrating, we're on the same boat really. My wife has always wanted to live abroad...

I just found this thread! My family and I have been working on this process for most of the year. And if I'm being frank, the election was a strong deciding factor in determining that we'd like to live abroad and let our children experience cultures outside of the USA. Then again, we live in...
