Hi Qorax, Is there a retail location for any canadian bank in Chicago ? Thanks

Twilight871, Professional1 gave you the best advice i.e. not to let this opportunity slip away. Don't wait til the last minute. If you can afford, take a plane. It would be much better if your wife/family is with you. I was refused entry at the border when I tried landing alone. Next time I...

I had the COPRs for my whole family which I picked up from the Buffalo VO. At the border they asked how long I was going to stay. Told them I was there for 'landing' and intend to go back to US for a few months. I presented the bank draft as POF. But they insisted that I come back with my whole...

Got my visa stamped in Buffalo. Crossed over to Canada via Niagara. Refused entry! I went alone and was asked to re-enter with the whole family. I'll try again around Memorial Day.

I'm going in person to Buffalo. good info from garian4u about pictures. I've my pictures with a broad smile. my family members pics are with smiling. As minor as it may sound, can they reject it? Too late for me to retake the pics but any advice please let me know

How much picky are the visa guys regarding the photo specs? For the visa application, I sent in pictures with a broad smile. Hope they don't return it! i worked hard to get here According to the specs, ""The face must be square to the camera with a neutral expression, neither frowning nor...

actually i wanted to know if banks ask for proof of address. found out they just need to piece of ID. My passport and US drivers license should be okay i guess

it's good to know that banks don't ask for proof of address, else I would have to wait a while

do you need to provide proof of address? I'll be staying with a friend of mine for couple of weeks. I can give his address. For ID, I've the passport and US drivers license. Would that suffice? In the US, banks always asked for some kind of proof of address like utility bill.

professional 1: do you need to provide the home address to open a bank account? I plan on staying with my friend for at least two weeks. will they accept his address?

so I guess, it should be okay by bus. no need to rent a car?

professional1, thanks for the reply. It's good to know it takes only 5 mins at the border. I'm planning to take the bus to Toronto. I'm not sure how the landing process works for someone arriving by bus.

qorax, if the waiting time for OHIP is 3 months, do they even take the application or they tell you to return in three months? I'm planning to land in December. Does Services Canada also deals with insurance cards besides SIN?

Qorax, My family will not accompany me when I land. They will join me after 2 months. I'll bring POF with me. When my family arrives, will they still have to show POF?

professional1, I'm thinking about going to Buffalo in person rather than mailing the passports and then waiting for 3 weeks. how long is the usual wait time to get passport stamped? how long does it take at the border?

Thanks, Qorax for your excellent replies

Hello Professional1, Thanks for continuing to help all here. Why does it take anywhere from 1 months to 6 months for processing medical? Like in AvayaLenovo case, it took only 30 days which is encouraging.

If NY VO quota is closed, what are the chances Buffalo will close too. Anyone here knows if Buffalo reached the quota in 2009?

Is it true that each VO has yearly quotas? Like NY has already reached the limit. I hope Buffalo doesn't run out. Anyone know what happened in late 2009 for Buffalo?

Hi AvayaLenovo, it's good to know your dmp was fast. How much did he charge? I mean for lab, xrays, docs i.e. everything. thx
