Thanks Sweden! I'm mostly just worried about it looking weird because the agents at our border crossing love to give us a hard time... I want everything to go smoothly!

Here is the link to my question on the other board, you can lurk on that one too! Hopefully someone can help : ) http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/b4-form-help-do-we-include-items-that-are-already-in-canada-t150465.0.html

Hubby has been staying with me as a visitor for a year. During this time he's brought over most of his personal items (clothes, books, dvds, electronics, etc.) little by little. He is landing tomorrow and we're trying to fill out the B4 form. Does he include the things that are already here...

Hubby has been staying with me as a visitor for a year. During this time he's brought over most of his personal items (clothes, books, dvds, electronics, etc.) little by little. He is landing tomorrow and we're trying to fill out the B4 form. Does he include the things that are already here...

Thank you. We use that one because it's the closest, and he has things in a storage facility just across the border there. So it makes sense to go there to pick up his stuff and land at the same time, otherwise we'd be driving several hours out of our way and back again to go to a different...

We received hubby's COPR on Monday and are driving to the Prescott bridge tomorrow so he can land. I have to admit, I'm quite nervous as they have given us a hard time there more than once before and I want to make sure they have no reason to tomorrow. - What do we bring, aside from passports...

I am definitely thrilled with it! I know how lucky those of us who have gone through the process so quickly are. I can only hope the same for everyone else... just waiting as long as we did was bad enough! Also, that SUCKS about the lottery! Lol

Hi all, I just wanted to pass along my wait time info. Forgive me if this isn't the right spot to do it, I'm afraid I'm not very active on this forum. My husband's application was received on August 3rd in Mississauga. On October 18th, I got my sponsorship approval and our app was sent to...

6.5 months, wow! Congrats! Our case is straightforward as well so I've been keeping my fingers crossed for a quick approval but trying not to get my hopes up. Thanks for your help on this question :D That's a good point too. Hopefully if they don't give us the 12, he'll get PR within the six...

Thanks Creampop! In the "reason for request" part we wrote that I've already been approved to sponsor and that we'd like to remain together while awaiting a decision on his application for permanent residency, so that part is covered. If they feel 12 months is too long, might they just extend...

Hubby's visitor record is good till Dec. 6th. We're wondering what the likelihood of being approved for a 12 month extension is (in the hopes that he'll get PR before then and save us the trouble of having to apply for a new extension in June) or if it's better just to ask for 6? I know people...

Thank you very much Peaches. I will include those documents.

Anyone?

Hubby's visitor record expires in December so we are getting ready to send his extension application online. It asks for the following: "Proof of means of financial support that demonstrate that you can support yourself and any accompanying family member while you stay in Canada (for example...

Ohhhh. Okay! It would be SO great if they posted something like they do for first stage where they give you an idea of where they are with the apps. Like "Working on apps where sponsorship was approved on (date)". Would probably save us all a lot of worry if we at least had a general idea of...

:( really? I guess we'll just cross our fingers and hope it doesn't take super long... and yeah, I found the thread so I'll give it a read and see if there's anything helpful in it. Thanks!!

"You have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. Accordingly, the Application for Permanent Residence for your relative(s) has been forwarded to a visa office abroad for further processing." Woo hoo! Obviously we're thrilled, but I have a couple questions: 1. I (somehow) forgot to...

You guys rock, I'm stealing all your suggestions! He likes the idea of taking some kind of online course so I'm hoping he can find something that interests him! He's also a fabulous cook so maybe he could start a food blog of some kind cause he loves to show his creations off. Anything to keep...

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys! @Shylox; That's how he feels too. He keeps saying he should be out making money for us and I know he feels really bad that he can't... I don't know what to do to make him feel any better about it :(

It shouldn't make any difference at the border. BUT... *cue cautionary tale* Be aware that, while you are married and fully intend to file an application for PR, the border officer still may not let her in. My husband and I crossed the border together with our entire application ready to send...
