so i flew home from Scotland today, taking the same airline my husband will take in a few months when he comes to Canada, and i spoke with the airline reps AND the border guards at customs about these plans.. they all said yes, no problem! the only concern is making sure he lands before his...

back home in Canada now :( i did, however, have the opportunity today to speak with airline reps and Canada border guards about the plans i was asking about the other day - having my husband fly in on a one-way ticket but not officially land at the airport, instead driving to the border and...

gotcha :) and yes, i agree, being honest and straightforward is definitely the way to go! thanks for reassuring me with your experiences :) i'm wanting to delay the landing because i'm a big sappy romantic ;) i want to be with my husband when he lands, and i can't do that at the airport...

perfect, that makes complete sense and is exactly what i am hoping for :D so happy for you that your long wait is finally completely over!! no offense to any Scots on the board, but i think we can all agree that i did not travel to Scotland in January for the weather ;) hahahaha today it is...

yeah, i would assume they received them and just haven't gotten any further in the processing yet, but you could make a Case Specific Enquiry just to be on the safe side. they don't normally email to say they received stuff, but if you make an enquiry and they *haven't* received your documents...

thank you! i asked about being with my husband while he lands at the airport in Toronto and was told that no, i couldn't go into the room where the interview takes place because it's beyond security, but maybe the airport in Halifax is set up differently. ah well, at the end of the day, we'll...

so you arrived as a visitor with a one way ticket and then landed at a later date, with no issues? fantastic news, that makes me really hopeful! :)

perfect!! thank you - that's great :D

yes, my husband is visa-exempt. my concern is that he will be coming on a one-way ticket, which is not acceptable for a visitor - which he technically will be until he activates his PR status by landing at a later date. still okay?

has anyone had any experience entering the country on a one-way ticket but not officially landing at the airport of entry? i'm hoping to flagpole with my husband at the border rather than have him land at the airport. has anyone tried this and been told you must land because you only had a...

congrats to all the recent COPR recipients - most especially BeaverDiva and sausageboyuk! :) just looking at our options for landing - my husband will be flying into the Pearson airport and i'll be meeting him there. i understand his official landing will take place before he comes out into...

oh! thank you for the correction :) now i'll take my husband out for celebratory sushi with the $50 we had budgetted for the PR card!

i'm actually on my way over to Scotland tomorrow to visit my husband for 2 weeks.. he won't be landing until May, but it's really nice that when i leave this time, we will know exactly when we will be seeing each other again - and every day after that!

{{{{ big hugs }}}} to you, BeaverDiva! you are so close to the end!! Taffy, it's absolutely horrible what you went through, but you're right - it's awesome that you've found your true love :) so glad it's over for you!!

i'm sure you can contact them directly through email.. explain that you are the person being sponsored by a Canadian spouse in their constituency, give your husband's details and contact info just to cross all the i's and dot all the t's, and explain that your COPR has taken an inordinately long...

alright, so thanks to our COPR, i now have confirmation that our first DM was a mistake. our actual DM happened on December 22, ECAS updated on December 25, and we had COPR in hand on January 9. funny how quickly it came considering there were 3 stat holidays during that time. Sausageboyuk...

it's definitely okay to do that and it is definitely within their scope of responsibility - whether they are able to find anything out beyond what you know yourself is another question! ;) that would be down to CIC. but yes, you can definitely ask them to get involved and look into it on your...

those are the correct ones. you will need to pay $50 once he is in Canada for the actual PR card, but in order to process the application those are the correct ones :)

use your wife's postal code to find her MP: http://www.lop.parl.gc.ca/ParlInfo/Compilations/HouseofCommons/MemberByPostalCode.aspx?Menu=HOC all the contact information will be there for you.

good luck with your application, Wendy! :)
