Perfect! Thank you!

I really don't want to lose that money, but I want to pay before going to show we have good intentions. We would get the application sent off within a week of arriving, but we won't get to Canada for a week. And our printer is about to get packed.

Background: We're moving to Canada in 2 weeks. Dh is American, I am Canadian and we have 3 children together. I would prefer to apply inland, but am worried about getting dh across the border with all of our stuff in a moving truck (the whole family are crossing together). Our outland...

We have our application all ready to go and are sending it out tomorrow. Dh (who is American) leaves in the moving truck on the 11th and the kids and I fly into Boston on the 17th (kids are dual citizens). We'll caravan and cross at St Stephen on the 18th. I hope. :P It is so scary that the...

I just called the BIS and I can claim the first $800 worth of new stuff, but the kids don't qualify since they have never lived in Canada. Bummer.

From what I understood, I could claim all things that we currently own and use, but not new things, like the groceries we were going to buy in Maine before we crossed and Christmas gifts, and that's what the personal exemption is for. That's what this article says...

Hi! My 3 kids were born in the US and are not currently residents of Canada (nor have they ever been), but they are Canadian citizens. Will they each get the $800 exemption at the border, or is that just for me? We are moving to Canada next month and their grandparents wanted to send their...

That would be so much better. We were under the impression that he would be turned away if he couldn't prove that he planned on returning to the US until he was awarded permanent residency.

We decided to apply for his visa once we've moved because the timeframe is so up in the air (we are currently selling our business and have a buyer on the hook. Fingers crossed). I was going to drive the moving truck and dh was going to drive in the car with the kids. Should he say that he's...

How would they know that, though? He would be arriving ahead of me. Argh! I wish that this wasn't so frustrating. :P

Oh, and we bought a home in Springhill because my family is from there, and it's super crazy cheap. ;)

This is what I'm thinking about, from the CBSA webpage:

To recap, my husband (an American citizen) and I are planning on moving to Nova Scotia this summer. I'm a Canadian citizen. He was going to move our things first, and then we were going to go back to Canada together. We have not started the permanent resident application yet as I can't decid...

My FIL has a home, a wife and a job here in California, so I'll make sure that he has proof of all of that with him. I'm thinking that maybe we should wait and file for dh's permanent residency once we arrive in Canada.

We actually haven't applied yet. I'm still not sure whether it would be better to start the proceedings now or wait until we arrive. We have been married for almost 16 years and have 3 children together, if that makes any difference. Also, I don't think that he would have any cause to leave...

So, I would be much better off being the one in the moving van than my husband, it seems to me. My FIL was going to ride with him. He (my FIL) really would be a visitor just helping me move, planning to return to his home and wife here in California. I don't think I'm up to driving a box truck...

I'm a Canadian citizen married to a US citizen and my family wishes to move back to Canada this summer. We bought a home in Nova Scotia and the plan is for my husband to drive the moving truck, unload, drive back and then we would go together. But will he be able to enter into Canada as a...
