    Pet in Canada before landing?

    Thank you for all your replies. We are now thinking that my husband (Canadian citizen) may bring in my cat from the US instead of me. That might work too?

    Driving into Canada in your own American car and staying there for one month

    Thank you very much for your quick response! I am getting a clearer picture now. (It would be great if I didn't have to get an apartment in Buffalo - that is close to $1000/mo that I won't need to spend!) So it's the border crossing that gets sticky. From what you described, it looks like my...

    Driving into Canada in your own American car and staying there for one month

    Thank you very much for your prompt reply. The only reason I felt I had to have a place in America is because I need an address in the US for CIC? I don't know the in's and out's about immigration to Canada, but maybe I just assumed that I need an address in the US? (I am applying OUTLAND...)...

    Driving into Canada in your own American car and staying there for one month

    Is it OK to do this? I am a US citizen, and I am planning to quit my job, move from California to Buffalo, NY (the closest American city to Kitchener, Ontario), get a tiny little apartment in Buffalo, NY or near there (so I will have an American address with all my packed belongings) and stay...

    DECEMBER 2014 - OUTLAND Applicants

    Hello, I submitted the FBI background check request at the end of October, and FBI is finally ready to mail it to me. How will I send that report to CIC? I haven't heard back from CIC so I don't have any application ID's or numbers. My husband became a Canadian citizen (from UK) a couple of...

    Pet in Canada before landing?

    Thank you very much for your reply. I am getting just nervous thinking about it but hopefully, my case will be similar to yours and people on board are sympathetic. I get so stressed out when my cat keeps on meowing very loud the whole time during a car ride to a vet, etc (which is less than 20...

    Pet in Canada before landing?

    My cat is about 16 lbs too! Is your cat a talker? My cat is very vocal so I am kind of afraid he will annoy the heck out of other passengers. Did he not poop or pee at all the whole time? Did you do landing at the same time? (Sorry for so many questions!)

    Pet in Canada before landing?

    Thank you very much for your reply. I am planning to move my cat *after* I quit my employment (I live in California now but I am planning to quit my work and move to Baffalo, NY so my residence will be closer and I can spend months at a time with my husband until PR comes through. I cannot take...

    Pet in Canada before landing?

    I have posted this under "Settlement Issues" but I am not getting any responses so I am posting this question here. I usually post all my questions under Family Class Sponsorship anyway, and you guys(/gals) always give me great feedback so I hope someone can help with this question also. Is it...

    Pet in Canada before landing?

    is it possible to get your pet in Canada before landing? I am considering moving to the NY area from California to be closer to my DH in Kitchener. I am a US citizen so I can visit him for 6 months at a time, but what would I do with my cat? The most natural thing for me to do is to take my cat...

    Can I bring my cat on landing?

    Did you guys do the landing at the same time you took your pet with you?

    Unemployed sponsored spouse a problem?

    I am a sponsored spouse and I am currently employed, but I am seriously thinking of quitting my job before my PR is finalized. Would that cause a problem in any way? Will I need to report the change? If I have no job back in the US when I go visit my husband in Canada and want to stay awhile...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    keesio, does NY come after you to try to make you pay NY state tax? I live in CA and I have been told California considers you a resident of California if you carry a DL's from CA and it's possible they come after you for state taxes...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Yikes, that's the way it sounded from your post, but I wanted to double check - Thank you. I will wait until I move to Canada to transfer my DL.

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Could you elaborate as to what you mean by "transfer a license"? Do they take your current DL in place of the ontario DL or you can possess both DL's (one from Ontario and another from U.S)?

    What are the milestones to get to PR?

    You guys are just so AWESOME! Thank you very much for such quick and detailed posts! I am applying OUTLAND from US, so I feel for the people who are doing INLAND :-\ I have a better picture of what the milestones are now... I have read some posts but they were all bits and pieces and I...

    What are the milestones to get to PR?

    Thank you very much for your quick reply. How do you find these things out? (Stage 1 AOR, Sponsorship approval, e-CAS changed to Decision Made, etc) Do you have to call CIC or they send you (sponsor or sponsored?) emails or snail mails? Thank you very much.

    What are the milestones to get to PR?

    Is there a sticky or a thread that shows all the milestones from beginning to end? I do have access to the spreadsheet, but I am not even sure what some of the columns mean (ie. Stage 1 AOR, ECAS, etc...) or if we find those things out by calling them up or you (sponsor? sponsored?) get email or...
