My husband just paid the RPRF and sent it to Ottawa, should we have sent it to CPC-M instead?

"Who Must File an FBAR. A United States person that has a financial interest in or signature authority over foreign financial accounts must file an FBAR if the aggregate value of the foreign financial accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the calendar year."...

Reading the instructions on the form a little closer for both the exemptions you highlighted (I am in the same situation as you, I have access to his Canadian account), it's explained a little better. I think you'd have to still file an FBAR. I think that first exemption is so both spouses don't...

Oh goodness, I didn't know about all that. I better get busy with my FBAR then.

I don't think it's 7 years in Canada like it is for the US. I think that you just have to live in Canada for 3 years in a 4 year time period. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/become-eligibility.asp And as for whether or not you want to keep your US citizenship, I guess that's up to...

First, huge congratulations to elokpo!! Second, a question. Have you all paid your Right of Permanent Residence Fee already? I haven't and I was just wondering if we should or if we should wait until prompted.

Awesome!! Congratulations! Hopefully the rest will go quickly for you! :D

Thanks guys! Happy to be here :)

I know I'm late to this thread, but is there a March spreadsheet? Can I be added to it? Filed March 23rd, app received March 27th, sponsorship approval June 22nd then (I hope!) file transferred to Ottawa. The sponsorship approval email is the only correspondence we've gotten, so no AOR, I'm...

Oh, I'm a March applicant, with spousal approval in June, so I've got a ways to go :) If for some reason the study permit were to get rejected (I looked into it, and I'm not sure if I have enough ties to the states - no property, I wouldn't have a job if I were to go back to school, my husband...

I am spamming EVERYONE today. So! Something: I got an email response to a question from Ottawa! It was a generic question, not file specific (I had the generic question and I asked about not receiving an AOR, and of course, they ignored my AOR question), but they're alive! I know that's not...

I feel silly asking this, but what's a visitor's record?

That's awesome! Great to see progress for someone from the US!

Thank you both! That puts my mind at ease. I was worried about not getting correspondence in the mail.

Hello! I'm new to this website, and just wanted to introduce myself here in this thread. I'm from America and my husband is Canadian. We applied on March 27th, 2012, and he got his sponsorship approval on June 22nd. Since we're going through the Ottawa office in the midst of their restructure...

Thank you for responding! I hadn't tried my name with the file number yet. I had been trying with the receipt number. So, I do have an eCas status (embarrassed). It says that they have received my application as of March 27th, 2012. But that's when it got to Mississauga, so no updates from...

So, I just stumbled upon this website, and man do I wish I had seen this before we applied. There is a serious wealth of information here and you guys are awesome for answering so many questions. So here is where we are. I'm an American, and my husband is Canadian, and we live apart...
