    Car Striked Off from GTF

    I understand. Any ideas how much I may have to shell out? Asking so I can mentally be ready when the expense happens.

    Car Striked Off from GTF

    He did not state any reason per se - but yes, I did land via flight. When I asked, he simply mentioned that there is a separate import process, cannot list in GTF. No, I did not have my car title or registration information when I landed. The car is fully paid off. Is there any way to remedy...

    No - The others were processed normally and the total was tallied (excluding the value of my car)

    Car Striked Off from GTF

    Hi All - Planning a move to Canada this year. When I did my soft landing last year via plane, the officer striked off my car from GTF (goods to follow) citing that I can't do that. So is there something I should worry about from that standpoint? or is the import process solely the 72 hour heads...

    PR Obligation (Couple)

    My RO will be up by Aug 2023 - Plan is to move by end of 2022 [to not cut it close]. My current fiancé has applied for her PR and mostly likely will get her COPR by Aug 2021 and immediately soft land (Her RO will be up by 2024) and we plan to get married before that. How will RO work in the...

    PR Card Renewal

    Hello All - Firstly thank you for all the guidance. If my PR card is up for renewal around 2025 and I spend 740 days in Canada, but I am abroad when the PR expiry happens, I understand that I cannot renew my PR card from outside Canada. Can you still apply for the PRTD? What is the step after...

    4 Years in 10 Years?

    Sorry to open an old thread. So technically, if I got PR in 2020 and move to Canada in 2021 and come back in 2023, will my PR still be valid by 2025? What if in the last 5 years my residency obligation of 730 days is met but my PR card is expiring? Will my PRTD get rejected if I am outside Canada?

    PR marrying PR

    If I as a PR am marrying another Canadian PR, do each of us have to let CIC know and follow any steps? Second scenario, what if the person I am marrying has her PR process ongoing while the marriage happens?

    Import Used Car, Sell and Buy New Car vs. Buy New Car in US and import

    Thank you hari and jagan. Are there other things to keep in mind? E.g. Would insurance cost be higher on a US imported cost vs. Canada? The other issue is when I initially landed via plane, the officer striked off my car from GTF (goods to follow) citing that I can't do that. So is there...

    Import Used Car, Sell and Buy New Car vs. Buy New Car in US and import

    Hey all - I wanted to get your thoughts on which is a better option - Basically I have a used car. Do I: 1) Import it in Canada, sell and then buy new car in Canada OR 2) Sell used car and buy new car in USA and import it to Canada

    self-quarantine question

    Quarantine is strict - they also call (though I never got one, just two emails). Depending on where you land try grocerygetaway for groceries. Had them all delivered. Some days when I was tired of my own cooking, I did doordash for some awesome Punjabi dhaba food. For breakfast, since I was...

    Guys - Quick question. I haven't submitted any photos. Is the photo submission only for Inland? Does it apply to outland as well? I am FSW-O landed on June 7th. Application says submitted.

    Rumors about an executive order that bans the entry H1b holders around.

    I know this might sound trivial but the admission is really entirely on CBP personnel present during your immigration - based on their understanding of the executive order. Technically they should let you in - For this reason, people might wait for others to cross, get some intel and then take...

    Hey Ethan - Did some exploring of my own - Yes, that was missing. Had some troubles linking the card (Place of birth was the issue) - But now I have my application linked which shows submitted. Thank you again. Hoping there is a status bar similar to how there was for Post-AOR application.

    COPR and coronavirus

    Both were generic emails mentioning that they recognize that I recently entered Canada and provided me steps for safety such as stay indoors, wash hands, etc. The second email was more of a reminder on the 10th day or so with more detailed steps. I did check with public help when my quarantine...

    I meant the Permanent Residency application - but if it shows approved, I think it makes sense. What is a PR card application? In my case, since I was outland it was pretty much automatic when I landed (I did not submit anything specifically). Does your CIC show a separate PR card application?

    Landed on June 7th. Should my application status show something like submitted? It still shows approved. I had raised a webform initially that I am not willing to travel, however did raise another webform when I was ready for travel.

    Hey All - Just had three questions related to my current situation - I completed my landing recently and returned from Canada (FSW-O): 1) PR Card: Based on what I have read, CIC account is the best place to check for PR card. Mine still shows as approved - should it show something else? E.g...
