I used WridgWays (sp?) when I shipped a lot of stuff over in 2011 (so it's a bit out of date now) They were really good, waiting until they had a whole container to ship, so I waited longer for my stuff, but saved $$$ on paying who a whole (half-empty) sea-can. They kept me up-to-date on the...

Hi Everyone, Most of the posters seem to be focussed on the date the bill passes through parliament. However, if you look at the actual bill most of it doesn't come into force then. It won't come into force until it's proclaimed by the Governor in Council. This is probably because the bill...

PMM, did you mean 'putative' not 'punitive' (although the behaviour of the (putative) father here might be punitive as well if he's denying being the Dad!!)

I can't apply until later this year, but so far I have 0. I have taken two day trips across the border - but as single days, not over-night stays, they don't count. I anticipate when I fill in the form in October that I will still be at 0. Maybe I will get an RQ as CIC will think I'm lying and...

Oh wowsers - that sounds great. Why don't you contact the team at 'Grand Designs' - it would be an amazing episode - all the tension and drama of a UK architect trying to get approvals in Canada ... I can picture it already :) Plus, I'm totally missing Kevin McCloud !!!

That's too bad. :( Take some consolation from the fact that at least you know that they are working on your file. Good luck

Soleil, Any news on your application yet? Any news from your lawyer?

Yeah I hear you! Unlike you, none of my pre PR time counted, but it's still a whole extra year of waiting to apply (then who knows how long it will take to process). I haven't been out of Canada for a single day since I got PR ... but I still have to do the extra year :(

You need the travel details for any of the days that you are using in your citizenship application (you need 1095 days in Canada) so if you become a PR and NEVER leave Canada you can apply after 3 years exactly. If you've been out of Canada you need to have made the 1095 days, so it might be...

I still lurk around here trying to be helpful while I count down the days to filing my citizenship application. Getting PR was just one step...

Could you show your employer your SIN card? I remember that when I was on a temporary work visa I was issued a SIN that started with the number 9. I recall that the "9" signified that the SIN was limited in time (to the date my work visa expired). Then when I landed as a PR I got a new SIN...

Hi Kayaker Just seconding what bartjones said based on my own experience. I visited my husband during our processing (like your wife I'm visa-exempt). I made sure to have plenty of evidence that I would return to my home country. I had a return ticket, a letter from my employer saying that I...

I don't really think you're getting a chilly response here. Posters are sharing what information they can, I think Scyalla's post about the 'bring-forward dates' and setting aside applications while further documentation is being provided is absolutely correct in your case. Whilst you were...

Congratulations - how exciting for you!

Congratulations ... and good luck with those forms! :)

I had a really small courthouse wedding too! Less than 10 guests at our wedding 'reception' (dinner in a nice restaurant). It didn't cause any problems for us (approved very quickly with no interview) We are an Australian / Canadian couple and married when my Canadian spouse visited my in...

I think three things helped us: We had solid /good evidence (we had a mortgage together (which shows a serious commitment) and good letters of support, including from his Mom as well as friends) We had no red flags - same language, no big age gap, I'm an Australian citizen so I'm visa exempt...
