What about goods that were shipped and are in Canada in a bonded warehouse for my signature to release?

Wow, thanks so much for the info. We're arriving separately as I read elsewhere it doesn't look good to show up at the border with a car full of stuff to re-establish residency when once of the passengers doesn't actually have PR status. I'm not sure what our other options are if the PR...

Hi, I'll be re-establishing residency in Canada this summer with my 5 year old son (we're both Canadian citizens). My wife's PR application likely won't be approved yet so she'll be following a few days later to enter as a visiter. I assume I'll need some sort of consent form from her to allow...

I stumbled on this site and found it full of useful thoughts and information.: http://www.kurucz.ca/expatrepat/#part3 (This is not an endorsement for any services offerred on that site)

I had looked this up elsewhere and concluded "family members" here meant only immediate family (spouse + children). I looked again but couldn't find that reference, so take this as "internet advice". I sent in only BC's for me, my wife & son but not her brothers or parents. Not even sure if...

A heads up to anyone using GMail. I just found my Sponsor Approval e-mail in the Spam folder! :o Look for e-mail from "CIC.CPCMississaugaDoNotReply-CTDMississaugaNePasRepondre.CIC@cic.gc.ca"

From what I can tell, the row colours match against the column headers to show the status. So if your row is read, you've not yet linked your application nor received your AOR1. In short, the red matches the pain of waiting for tangible proof your application has been received :) (And like the...

I can see my Sponsor Application only via ECAS but my wife's PR application only via GCKey. On the bright side, I see my SA is marked Decision Made!

UPS Notary works fine, unless there is a line as they'll tend to service the normal shipping customers first. Note that certain states (eg. California) no longer allow notaries to do "notarized copy" services. They instead do an affidavit of some sort which may or may not be sufficient for...

To answer my own question (and based on recent answers here) there is only one application status, and it can be linked to only one GCKey account. Thus, the medical exam info we submitted with our application has passed! Which is awesome as my wife has had two skin cancer incidents (minor BCC...

I was looking at the tracking spreadsheet and noticed "Address Change in ECAS" has a column of its own. What is that for, and what effects on the application timeline occur if your mailing address change in the middle of the application process?

I just get a username/password authentication page. What values should I use here?

Ugh, that does sound so frustrating :( It's not the new vs. old kit as mine was received on Jan 24 w/ the old kit (medical & police reports included) and was linkable 14 days later. Ours is a pretty open/shut case, though (US citizen, married 10 years & a child). Is there a rule-of-thumb on...

Got a confirmation e-mail today! Is that equivalent to an AOR1 or is that a different form sent by mail? I recall reading that I can only see the info regarding my Sponsorship application. In that case does "Review of medical results Passed" mean my wife's medical report has been accepted or...

Thanks for the info -- we'll make it 2 separate trips to avoid any confusion.

Hi, I'm Canadian, sponsoring my wife (USA). We've been married 8 years and have a child so I expect there to be no issues regarding the application. We want to move to Canada this summer so our child can start school there in the fall, but the PR won't be approved by then given the current 12...

Greetings from another long-term lurker. I'm sponsoring my American wife and it took us *forever* to get our forms together (wife has lived in lots of places, so tracking down all those police reports...). Got the whole thing out this week, received Jan 24. Many thanks to everyone here for...

Hi, I'm a Canadian citizen and my wife is American. We have one son (dual citizen). As I understand it from reading this excellent forum, it is possible for me & my son to move to Canada and have my wife "visit" us for 6 months at a time. However, every post implies she has left all her...
