I know this is a weird question for this forum, I apologize that it's a bit off topic. We are having our Canadian reception in a month. Since I'm from Texas we'd like to give out packets of bluebonnet seeds as party favors (so our Canadian guests can enjoy a little Texas at home). I've heard of...

The only thing they took blood for at my medical exam was HIV/syphilis. I'm not sure if it's the same for all countries, I'm from the US.

ah ha! Thanks!!

Thanks Farfelu, That's the form I was following. I made four and they were used for the medical exam. Then I saw this in the Guide (5289): 2 photos for the application for permanent residence The photos must have been taken in the last 6 months and must adhere to the specifications listed in...

I thought I only needed four photos for the family app, those that are used for the medical exam. I had four taken last Sunday, and they were all used. Now I am seeing I need six (four for medical, two for other form). First off, is this correct? Secondly, I called the photo place that did my...

There's 15 years between my husband and me. People on here said it will be seen as a red flag but I think we have a very, very strong case so I'm not worried about it. AS long as you have proof that it's a true relationship then you should be ok.

I'm having trouble with this area. I can't remember every association I was ever a part of and the timeline. For example I was in Girl Scouts when I was in I think first-third grade but I'm not positive. Also I can't remember if I was a member of a professional organization or just attended...

I was pre-approved by NEXUS today! Interview scheduled for late November which was the earliest they had at a semi-easy for me to access place. i.e. in Ottawa but I will be in Toronto that week so a quick in and out flight is easy and better than waiting until YYZ spots open up sometime after...

That seems ridiculous but maybe I just don't understand. What does what I've made over the past three years matter to his taxes? We didn't even know each other three years ago. Luckily he has a good accountant, I'm sure he will figure it out. :)

What do you do if you are American working in the US and your husband is Canadian working in Canada? Do they have a "married filing separate" form like here in the US?

Very, very helpful. Thank you again ComputerGeek!

On that note, does it help build credit if you get a cell contract? Or can you not build credit until you have a SIN?

I put in my NEXUS application! :) Computergeek - Can I consult in Canada before PR, and if so how would taxes work then? There's an opportunity I have pretty much dismissed because I don't want to do anything that could jeopardize my immigration application. An organization asking for executive...

Computergeek, you are amazing! Woah, what a wealth of information! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Long road ahead, wow, lots to think about. Thanks again.

Hi guys, I'm sure this has been asked before. Does anyone have experience working for a US company and travelling a lot to Canada during the PR process? My boss and I are trying to work out a plan in which I still work for my US company during the waiting period and after I receive PR. For the...

How descriptive did you get when talking about your wedding? How you met? How the relationship has developed? I've just started writing notes and I have 4 pages already. Did you add anecdotes?

Sorry I meant 90 not 30. It doesn't look like we'll have the app done in time anyway. Bummer.

You should let them know you are having a reception next year and why (family vacation time). Showing that you already have the deposit will be nice proof that it will happen. If you happen to still be going through the process when the reception takes place you should send proof to CIC.

So if they have to receive it in 30 days does that mean receive the package or review it? Like if I mailed it a week before the clearance is no longer "valid" is that ok? I didn't realize there was a 3 month window and now only have a month before it's up. We are no where near completing the app...

Just a quick poll: How long did you wait to file your application after your wedding date? Why did you choose that time to file? (i.e. took so long to get application ready, etc)
