I physically exported the car and landed on the same day. But I did email the U.S. Customs office at Queenston about a week before I brought the car & scooter to the bridge. I did need to give 72 hours between emailing them and bringing the vehicles in person. When I brought them in person, I...

Hey Everybody! It's been a million years (OK, more like several weeks), but I wanted to stick to my word and come back to tell anyone who's interested how my visa-getting and landing went. I can also give (some) answers about exporting/importing vehicles from the US to Canada, getting a SIN...

I second this! But as well as making the payments, make sure you send the receipt to Mississauga, and a copy of the receipt by mail or fax to Buffalo. My application was delayed because we didn't pay the RPRF in a timely fashion.

That's just funny. ;) AmericaninQuebec: Because I live in Buffalo, I'm going to take my passport in person to the visa office. I should do it Thursday so I don't miss work, but, I'm going Tuesday. ;) Next weekend we're celebrating my hubs' birthday in Toronto, then he's coming back with me...

Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my goooooooooooosh! I just got my PPR email! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! ;D :P I almost can't believe it! I had to read it twice just to make sure it wasn't some sick twisted person sending me a prank email. What a relief! Now I can move to Canada this month without...

Just emailed ATIP explaining our situation with the GCMS notes and asking (again) for them to be sent. Already got an auto-response, which made me jump. For some reason everything about this process makes me really nervous. I guess I'm just so worried at this point that we're going to find out...

jacobsdennis- your story made me tear up a little when you got to the visa issuing part! So glad your landing process was easy. Good luck to you both! :D

I did, thank you! :D If we don't get them by Friday, I will send an email. They can't stick to a certain timeline for PR's, but I should make them stick to their own rule of 30 days.

Congratulations! Glad the interview went well. :D What a wonderful Christmas present for you both. Good luck with the landing! Excited to hear how it goes.

Thanks for the email address. I'm assuming it's taking longer because we're doing the request by mail (we had to send in the info release form, and I'm not in Canada, but my sponsor is, so we decided to mail it). My hubs paid for it so I'll ask him if his card was charged. I just wondered if...

Again - congrats to AmericaninQuebec! We've been sort of waiting it out over at the Buffalo thread together. But now it's time to move on! ;) I'm up to 41 days since our GCMS notes request was mailed and our RPRF receipt was received. Really, really really hoping we will be done with this...

It's been 41 days since we mailed our request for GCMS notes. Am I allowed to be annoyed/concerned yet? Could anyone tell me off the top of their head what the email address is to bug about receiving GCMS notes? If we don't get them by the end of the week... I think I'll have to "take some...

AmericaninQuebec - congratulations! :) The wait is finally over! It just figures that you had to mail in your passport, but that's okay! A visa is a visa! ;D Congrats again and let us hope your landing goes smoothly and easily. Tell us all about it!

Hello March applicants! This is my first time posting in your thread. Honestly I didn't even know it existed until today. :P Just looking to give and receive a little emotional support with you all as we now hit the 9 month mark since we applied. It's nice to talk to other people who have...

I was wondering the same thing. I HOPED that CIC had some COPR letters ready to be mailed on Dec. 1st or 2nd under the new system, but that's just me being a daydreaming optimist. Even so, letters mailed on Dec. 1st won't get to the states until at least a week later. But hopefully a lot of...

Good luck with the interview! Hopefully you two will get the visa after it's complete and you'll be good to go! Today is the day. Policy Change Day! It's also the first day of Christember. Woo. Question for you all: does anyone know of a way to have mail automatically forwarded from the U.S...

Sooo truuuuue! BTW in case you need it Santa's email is thebigredguy@northpole.net. But if you want things done a little faster, email Mrs. Claus at christmasladyxo@northpole.net. Thanks for the much-needed cheering up!

Yar, whenever they get here, I will. :( I was hoping that after processing my RPRF receipt they would say, "this is the last thing we needed!" and the visa would come after that. But it sounds like it is just as likely that my file will sit and sit and remain inactive for long periods of time...

&%$#@*&^$ Seriously? >:( I thought I read on here they were allowed 30 calendar days to process the RPRF receipt. S of a B. Ugh. So if the receipt was received in late October, then they have until late December to "process" it? Gah. Fine. Whatever. I am not allowed to expect that ANYTHING...

Good moooorniiiiiing everyone! ;D No need or reason for me to be this cheery, just trying to remain positive. Already we are into the second day of a new week. New passport rule takes effect in just two days! Well I think it's safe to say that anyone who hasn't gotten a PPR yet ain't gettin'...
