LOL. Yeah, it's a bit crazy, isn't it. I don't think they were working on 10/27 yet last week - maybe they meant to say 9/27? Since they haven't started mine (which added to their system on 10/27) yet as of yesterday. I guess the good news is ours should be worked on very, very soon... I paid...

Thank you very much for all the replies. I am applying outland also. Panamai, When I called FBI yesterday, he said they were now working on requests from 10/1-10/15. He said mine got checked in there on 10/27, so he told me to call back in 15 days. Ponga, I didn't realize they now accept...

We submitted our application at the end of December (2014), and we haven't gotten anything from CIC at this point. All we know is that our application was received about a month ago. I should get my police check back from FBI next month. If we still haven't heard anything from CIC at that point...

Congratulations. Just curious... Now that you got the card, what can you do today that you couldn't do when you didn't have the card in your possession? Is it more of "peace of mind" thing?

Got it. Thank you!

Oh, really? So you are saying one can get a job (by showing the copy of COPR) even before landing?

Wouldn't that make you flagged to pay the state income tax? (Just wondering...) I live in CA, and I feel I need to get rid of my CA drivers license...

So if you haven't gotten your PR card, it means you cannot get any jobs in Canada either? That would su*k...

I just talked to one of the representatives and she said they were now starting to open requests from October 22nd :o (Mine got there a few days after that, so she couldn't find me in the system yet but to call back next Friday.) She also said that they are now finalizing the requests that...

Oh, I just saw chipolopolo's reply with the phone number. I will call them. Thank you.

WOW. Really? I sent mine out at the end of October or beginning of November (I have to go home to check the FedEx receipt to know the exact date), but unlike dottie, I used a money order (with fear that my credit card get hacked into and I may have to change the credit card number before they...

Hi, Here is an update. I ended up going through the immigration at Toronto Airport since I missed my connecting flight from Chicago to Kitchener due to a delay. I have a feeling Kitchener immigration would have asked more questions (they always seem to) - The immigration at Toronto was so...

In the US, according to Wiki, there is a processing time difference between a US citizen trying to sponsor a foreign spouse and a green card (PR) holder trying to sponsor a spouse due to spousal sponsorship by a PR holder having quotas (whereas there is no quota for US citizens) and there is a...

Sure thing!

Thank you all for your thoughtful replies. I already printed my most recent paycheck information. Although I have no use for them, I will definitely print out some of the immigration forms so I can show them, as well as the medical exam report (which cost me $500+, so that's gotta tell them I...

I will be flying from USA to Kitchener, Ontario in a week to stay with my spouse for 2 weeks. This is the first time I will say at the Canadian immigration that I am visiting my "husband" (instead of my "boyfriend". We got married 2 months ago in USA.). Will they worry that I will be...

Is there something like an umbrella/liability insurance in Canada like we have in the US? I wonder if they are as inexpensive as they are in the US? Does anybody know? Would appreciate if you can share your experience.

Did your sponsor give you gifts? I could understand why they asked all other questions in IMM5490, but this? I just don't get it. What is that supposed to tell the immigration officer? What are they trying to figure out by this? I am just intensely curious. We gave each other DVD's (I...

Hi rhcohen, Thank you SOOOO VERY much for your thorough post. Yes, I am from Japan. I moved to the US when I was 22 and I recently became a US citizen (after 30 some years of holding a green card since Japan doesn't allow dual citizenship.) So I don't think I need as much evidence as...

Thank you very much for your comment and for others' comments. I am a "less is more" kind of person to start with, but I read many people giving hundreds of pages of stuff, and after a while, I started to feel like I had to collect more proof too. We really don't have much. And I just don't see...
