Someone told me she had to keep an American address just so she could use a credit card at gas stations when she is traveling in her car in the US (since most gas stations nowadays ask for your zip code to verify the validity of the card and Canadian cards, I guess, won't work.) Sorry to hear...

Where is the mailing address where your COPR was being sent to? I am trying to gauge how long mine may take. (I noticed the DM on June 5 but I am not sure if it went to DM that day or earlier since I wasn't checking my status very often.)

Thank you very much Rob - Good to know that this (we are discouraged to go to the walk-in clinics) is not a prevalent thought. I did have to go to one of the urgent care clinics in Ontario as an American (no OHIP) and the wait was pretty long (2 hours) compared to the local urgent care in CA of...

A couple of people have told me that their doctors (different family doctors) said that they get charged if their patients go to clinics. (This is in Ontario...) I don't see how they can stop you from going to the clinics though if the family doctors are not available...

Well said. ;D Thanks!

I was told that the family doctor gets charged by the government or something if you end up going to a clinic... Tha is not correct?

Can you keep the card living in Canada or you will have to give it up?

What is an MP if I may ask?

Thank you very much! I will look into the cards you mention.

I am going to be landing in a couple of months and I am wondering... How do doctors work? It looks like it is hard to change your primary physician and you always have to go to him/her instead of to a clinic? Any good source that explains the system? (I even heard you can change your primary...

Can I keep my US credit cards when I move to Canada or the credit card companies will take them away from me when I report the address change? I love my CapitalOne Venture card since I earn 2 points (2 miles) for $1 spent... Are there great reward cards like that in Canada?

I am one of the December applicants from Ottawa VO - Just noticed my DM yesterday. I am baffled. I wasn't checking my status that often (maybe once a week or less) since I didn't think it would come so soon since you guys are still waiting for yours. My heart goes out to you all from 2014.

Cool! Yeah you may be right (and I hope that is the case!) :) Congratulations on your COPR!!

Thank you very much RYIT!! I am starting to relax a bit. I called CIC and they told me to fill out a web form so I did - Hopefully they fix my address soon (if not the mail will most likely be forwarded to my current mailing address... which may take more time but I guess that's OK as long as...

Wait! So although the application status still showed the old address, you got your COPR at the correct address?

monstergirly, I just succeeded in talking to an agent at CIC (They said the wait time was 14 minutes but ended up waiting only for about 8 minutes!). He said the procedures have changed recently and now we are supposed to change the address ourselves online or request the change using a web...

Thank you, monstergirly. USPS has a special weekly mail delivery service with Priority Mail (for a fee, of course), so maybe I will talk to them and see if it's worth changing to that of if I can mid-stream like this.

Thank you very much for your reply. It looks like I've done it correctly as for the emails I sent to them, and the snail mail. I tried to call the call center number, but evidently, you cannot from a US number (I brought a Vonage device from the US, but I am calling from a US number so that must...

My status shows DM but my address still shows my old address in California. (I emailed CIC twice and snail mailed them once but still showing the old address.) Who do I need to contact? Can someone tell me what phone number to call? Also, does anyone know if the COPR letter is already sent to...

Same here, I just ordered a 2nd FBI report just a week ago. I am a US citizen but newly (2012) although I was a greencard holder for twenty some years. I am not a typical fast track applicant, so I am still a bit freaked out and worried, but after having seen your post, I am starting to feel...
