I'd love to hear from some of you who have posted here as US citizens who have moved or hope to move! http://www.us2ca.blogspot.com - Thanks! chotasahib - We're headed to F'ton, if all goes according to plan, next summer! After visiting Vancouver, Victoria, Winnipeg, Toronto, Halifax, and F'ton...

Usually 4-6 weeks, at least for apps to Buffalo.

My understanding (based on the experience of someone who recently went to CA on a work permit and is now PR) is that having a work permit does nothing to expedite getting one's PR visa. That is, there is no "converting" a tourist visa to a PR visa or a work permit to a PR visa. Having the work...

"You mean that digital photos are OK?" Yes. Again, that's all we used.

Ditto the previous post. I know of at least one guy who was granted PR status being open about his HIV-positive status. There is considerable debate over what medical conditions, if any, will cause a denial. Many have suggested that few get denied, they just get categorized differently. I would...

The odds of getting a job in librarianship before getting your PR card are pretty slim. You are probably better off getting your PR card and then looking for work. The one exception is that I see lots of one year maternity leave library positions. If you're willing to do that you might have...

I can't give you a statistic, but I can tell you that, in the past six months, I've been in touch with over 20 couples who have moved since 2004 or are still in the US, but awaiting their PR cards. In fact, I'm conducting research on US citizens who are moving to Canada. I think that CIC has...

Everything I've been told is that hypertension is not a disqualifying factor.

All the photos we used were those we took at home and then printed and cut per the requirements.

I hope somebody with info posts to this. This is the first I've seen of someone not being permitted to have cards mailed. Is this bc this person admitted that s/he was returning? It's my understanding that if you don't have the PR card when you try to go back you'll have problems unless you have...

thanks, redwood!

Gee, I wish I could tell you. But, since we submitted our application to Campbell Cohen in May 2005, got an AOR of June 2005, and got transferred to the black hole of Detroit in June 2006 - no IA, no request for meds, nothing - I can't help ya'. Yes, I am VERY annoyed. I should just stop...

Nope. Those of us who got transferred to Detroit just drew the short straw. I contacted our attorney and was told nothing that I didn't already know. Uhhh, they're slow. Gee, thanks.

Wow! Here in the Twin Cities it's just over $400 for adults and just over $200 for kids.

Re: "Tip: if you have a property you can include it in your prove of founds (while your case is in process)." I was told by my attorney that my house, in which I have considerable equity, would not count as proof of funds. Even though I will sell, I guess it makes sense bc they have no...

Geez, I think I've just got to stop checking the forums. This is so depressing. Great for you to hear something, but for those of us who applied to Buffalo in May '05 and are are still waiting for IA... :-( Oh, well....

Just pray that you don't get transferred to Detroit or you're screwed. Pardon the expression, but I'm just really annoyed. AOR: 13 June 2005 Transferred: 13 June 2006 And that's it. Nothing. Nada. Lots of folks who got transferred elsewhere (e.g., Seattle) or who didn't get transferred at all...

See: http://www.trackitt.com/canada-immigration-trackers/federal-skilled-workers/ I think those of us whose files went to Detroit drew the short straw... Clearly *someone* is seeing some action. This is SOOOOOO frustrating!!!!!

Good question! I've been asking the same exact thing! Grrrrr! I know a couple with this timeline: Application Submitted: 02-14-2005 Application placed in queue: 03-21-2005 Transferred to Seattle Consulate: 02-09-2006 Initial Assessment Complete/Request for Additional Info: 03-07-2006 Medical...
