Yeah, it really sounds like your best bet is going to be to get set up with a cross-border set of accounts with a bank that has a presence in both countries. I've been fairly happy, as others have mentioned in this thread, with RBC's offerings. The web interface isn't the greatest, but the...

No. Although it does seem to be normal for SA decisions to not be communicated in a timely manner, and sometimes not at all. (I was lucky, and got a PDF by E-Mail.) Good luck! :)

SA comes as a PDF attached to an E-Mail and as a mailed letter.

It's good that you alerted CIC, but on the legal matters it sounds like you should really consult with a lawyer if you're concerned.

They accepted them for a short period, but no longer. "Citizenship and Immigration Canada does not accept FBI police certificates issued by FBI-approved third party private companies. Only police certificates issued directly by the FBI will be accepted." (From CIC document "How to Get a Police...

Yes, a Canadian citizen who has never lived in Canada can sponsor their spouse for PR. The work you've done setting up bank accounts, visiting apartments, etc., is a pretty good indicator of intent to reside in Canada if PR is granted. Your best option is to apply as soon as possible, because...

Us, too! :D Congratulations!

Congratulations! Sorry if this is an obvious question, but: have you tried the principal applicant's details as well as the sponsor's?

I'm also seeing the behaviour where logging in to eCAS as others have mentioned: logging in as the sponsor doesn't work, but logging in as the principal applicant does, using the case number from the AOR E-Mail. Perhaps also worth mentioning: I am the sponsor, and my UCI is the same one from...

Hi scylla, thanks for your reply. I'm not concerned about that, but appreciate the reminder. I'm only concerned with whether CIC will view maintaining an additional residence in Canada as well as our primary residence in the US as an indication that we don't actually intend to reside in Canada...

Hello, I am aware that the CIC as part of trying to limit PR grants to people who have no intent to actually permanently reside in Canada will reject applications from people who already maintain a residence in multiple countries. That is, if you already live in France and Russia, they're...

If you look at the spreadsheets, you can select a variety of cells, such as by dragging to select a single column through a range of rows, or through all rows. Once you do that, in the bottom right hand, Google Sheets has a feature which at first will show the sum of all those cells. If you...

My understanding is this: they give groups of applications to the people who read the applications when those people become available. So if a worker finishes their last batch, they go and they get a new group of applications. Those applications are processed in the order that they came in...

Every case is different. Comparing yourself to the people who got their visa (or SA, or AOR* or anything else) the fastest is always going to lead to frustration, anxiety, and disappointment. Look at the average of a large number of people, including the people whose applications took longer...
