Oh, I don't disagree with you. I had already reached that conclusion from reviewing the spreadsheet. There's just not an option to pick for applying for permanent residence other than applying for the card. Most people applying for permanent residence would think to click yes on that answer. If...

LOL, thank you! They might want to revisit that tool, since when you pick US there's nothing you can pick that results in you needing biometrics. Thank you, I already sent everything in, so guess I will pay the fee when I get the request.

https://www.jobbank.gc.ca/jobsearch/jobposting/32981361?source=searchresults Some of those places had 70+ openings and lots of warnings that the environment is hot and dirty. Only required high school and no experience necessary. I do have extensive experience in warehousing and manual labor...

So- I've used the tool repeatedly, and each time it says I won't need to pay the biometrics fee. But, when I look at the tracker, it looks like immigrants from the US typically do give biometrics. What's the right answer here? lol

Are they largely seasonal or are those year round greenhouses? Additionally, are there different labor rules for that sort of job? I noticed most of them require 20 hours of OT a week, which I'm fine with as long as you are paid more for the OT. I'm just curious if anyone on the forum has ever...

I was poking around a bit, and it looked like on the spreadsheet everyone from the US pretty much ended up going through the Mississauga office. There may be some exceptions, but, everyone I saw on the sheet got sent there. So, I'm going to assume that's likely it.

What I found interesting was that someone from February got their passport request last week. :) I know they probably lucked out and already had a lot of processing done before Covid was an issue- but, maybe we will be lucky and it won't be too horrible.

We sent my application in last week, should get delivered on the 21st. Saw no reason to pay for expedited shipping with the current circumstance.. lol Now, I'm just going to try to forget that I applied for at least 4 months since it seems that's the soonest even an AOR could happen. I sure...

I finally got the last thing I was waiting for and sent in my application today. It's supposed to be delivered on Sep 17th. I'm a US citizen, spouse is a dual Canadian/US citizen. We sent in the application for our child's Canadian citizenship certificate last week. We should be a pretty...

Careful what you wish for- in the US the conservatives are in power. Immigration was substantially delayed here before COVID even hit. My husband's coworker is a US permanent resident, Canadian citizen. He applied for US citizenship over a year ago and his file still hasn't been reviewed at all...

Alright, I will keep trying to get them then. I've spent over $100 on passport photos so far only to have all of them cut the wrong size and not signed correctly. US passport photos are a different size, so, it's been really difficult to get correctly sized Canadian ones. I think I'll take my...

SO, the only thing I'm waiting on to be able to send my application in is my passport style photographs. Is there even any point sending those since they will be expired before the envelope even gets opened? Or is it a case where I have to enclose them now and then they will just request new...

I am not confident with what I put for this either, so following in the event someone responds. With how long processing may take, there seems to be no point to seek employment or find a residence when it may be 12 months before the processing is done. What I put for mine is that we are eager...

Thank you, yes, I won't do medical a moment before it's requested. Hopefully it's less risky to go to a doctor's office by the time I need to get the medical. Florida has been an interesting place lately.. lol

Wish I would've just filed it back in November, but, oh well, here we are. But, we are a lot more prepared than we were, likely we will have a much better time of it than we would have if we'd applied back then. I have everything done with the packet except my FBI clearance and me and kid's...

He hasn't maintained any credit in Canada unfortunately- would have been a good idea, but we never thought we would move back. It looks like he still has an old, closed credit card reporting and a paid off car loan reporting. He moved to the US in 2007 and has been just using credit in the US...

Brantford and Montreal were the locations of my worst Canadian experiences. St Catharines was quite friendly- Niagara Falls wasn't bad. The only problem with Niagara was everyone glared at me for walking my dog. I never met a single other dog owner there. It was just strange. But, if Sault Ste...

Is Sault Ste. Marie as anti-American as the rest of Ontario? I'd forgotten how much I got heckled and my car got vandalized when I lived in Brantford, this was 2005-2006. Canadian children would stop me in the street, ask if I was American and than ask me to name the capital of Canada and other...

I did live in Canada on a visitor's visa for about a year- so I'm pretty familiar with what things cost. There are still lots of things that are cheaper too- we pay $2800 a year for our homeowners insurance and it doesn't cover flood, sinkholes or hurricanes. It looks like the average is $780...
