I have a question about Form IM5533. "Information About Previous Examination (to be completed by the sponsor): The person I am sponsoring was declared as my spouse or partner and was already examined as a non-accompanying dependent when I applied for a permanent resident visa, and did not...

Thanks for the response. I figured that the 'dependancy' issue would be a problem. If I need to withdraw my brother from the application, can I do that at my end in Mississauga or would my parents need to do that in Abu Dhabi? Thanks Naj

Hi My parents have applied for immigration to Canada (I am the sponsor) with my brother as a dependant. Their application was recently transferred to the Abu Dhabi office where we expect there to be a 3-4 yr wait before they hear back again. My brother would like to visit me in Canada in the...

You dont need a PR card for SIN number...i got my number the day after landing...all i showed was COPR and my passport NG

FYI, I moved to Canada a few weeks ago and I took my US credit card history and score to the banker (TD Canada). He inputted my information into the system and in the notes section for the credit bureau entered my US credit info. I was approved for an unsecured credit card the next day with a...

Hey all, Landed today at YYZ...spent about an 30 min in immigration and customs...everything went smoothly Thanks to everyone for their advice and help NG

Thanks, that's a good idea. I was not planning on closing my account in the US. I guess I was trying to find out if there was a maximum amount of money whether it be in cash/travellers check/bank check that one could bring into Canada without having to pay any taxes, specifically for the case...

Hey all, Is there a limit of how much money you can take into Canada without being charged duty when you make your 1st entry? I was planning on taking 50,000 USD in cash; however, I might end up using a bank check to avoid carrying so much cash. NG

Hey all Got my ppt back on Friday with visa stamp...will be heading to Canada in 2 weeks! Thanks everyone for your help and support. NG

Even if this is truly your belief, I would still recommend you get a family member to take pictures of you and your spouse in private and perhaps a few with your family members as well (you don't have to keep any, just send them off to immigration). You could use a digital camera and print them...

My status was updated to Decision Made...passport has been with the NYC office for over a week now....hopefully will get it back soon. NG

Buffalo will probably get back to you in a month with an update if they are transferring it to a local consulate. Not sure if they will get in touch with you if they are processing it in Buffalo. NG

According to the CIC website, Delhi visa processing times are faster than Buffalo.

Thanks...yes, my intent was to drop off the car in Canada...I don't think Budget allows it as I've tried several locations in NY and none of them see to let me proceed with a reservation. Anyone else have experience with other rental companies? NG

Hey all, I was planning on renting a car in NYC and driving into Toronto (making 1st entry). Does anyone know of car rental companies that allow this besides Hertz? I will probably have 4-5 large bags that I could fit into a rental car and would not need to a UHaul. NG

Thanks Fibud! NYC received my ppt today...hope the wait is not too long! NG

Bonacker, I would wait for one more week...its possible your PPR request is in the mail...mine was sent out on April 15 and since you are in Canada, it might take a week to get there. NG

Got my PPR request today by mail! Application was forwarded to NYC from Buffalo NG

I am guessing that NY does not allow passport drop off and pick up in person? I live less than 1 mile from the consulate and it would be so convenient for me to drop off the passport in person instead of having to mail it in. NG

My Ecas says medical results received ever since it was transfered to Buffalo. I hope the results were transfered to NYC when the file was transfered. NG
