Ah, got it. Do you get some official e-mail? I checked my status on-line on the CIC webpage and see an "Application Received" under the PR Application Status. I take it that this is not the same.

Amikety - I was checking out your spreadsheet and was wondering what "AOR from Visa Office" meant?

Thanks for the reply. It would be for maybe a few long weekend visits (like visiting the family for holidays and such). Looks like it would not be too much of an issue.

Wow, after reading some of these posts, I feel I did not give enough information. I just gave about 50 or so various photos, an extra wedding invitation we had, an invoice from the venue where I had my wedding, a welcome letter from the resort where we had our honeymoon, a few boarding passes...

Hello all, From what I understand, there is a 3 month waiting period for a new resident of Ontario to qualify for OHIP and get your OHIP card. And I also am aware that you need to spend 153 of the first 183 days in Ontario to also qualify. My question is for those first 3 months before you can...

I'd also like to know. I am sponsoring my wife who is American but she was born in South Korea and her family moved to the US long ago. So she does not have a birth certificate (South Korea did not issue them at the time she was born). She does have an english copy of the old family census...

I'm a Canadian permanent resident. I may have to leave Canada for a year or two due to family emergency. During that time, I may lose my PR status (I'm still checking this out - I will have the days (over 730) to renew but I won't be living/working in Canada during that time). In in fact that i...

Thanks for the reply! Do I not have to prove that I am living in Canada when I apply? Or does it really not matter?

Hello, My PR card expires next year. However, I may need to move to the US for a year or two to take care of my ill mother. Hence I will be living and working there. My question is am I still eligible to renew my PR card from the US (I will not have an address in Canada during that time)? I...

Ok, found more info. Walk-in's are not supported but applications via mail is still supported.

Just saw it on CBC today. Anyone know how this impacts people who applied at the Buffalo office for visas, etc?

scylla - awesome, thanks!!! regarding #3, yes I was referring to am employer maybe sponsoring her. Not sure if she will indeed find a sponsor just throwing out ideas regarding #4, I'm glad it is no issue to apply for citizenship first. I assume though that for the citizenship application they...

Hello all, Newbie here. I have a few questions regarding sponsoring a spouse. I am a US citizen with a Canadian permanent residency living and working full-time in Canada. I am getting married in the US in the fall and plan to bring my American wife to Canada. At the same time, I am ready to...
