Yeah, when we apply, we will have a pretty straight forward case. No kids, no past marriages/divorces, lots of pictures together and with friends/family, chat logs, text messages, etc. And if I end up going up there for a 12-month work holiday, we will hopefully join finances somehow (joint bank...

Wow, that's awesome. Definitely looking into this!!! Edit: On second thought... Yeah, I don't know, we'll see. I think I can handle a little hassle from a border guard. Unless, of course, having this card really does speed things up.

I hate having to use 'pre-existing conditions', but America's insane healthcare system has conditioned me to believe that sort of medical category exists! Yeah, these are not contagious, luckily, so we should be good. Thanks, everybody!

Hey there! I wont be doing this for quite some time, but I'm just curious if there's a list of physicians and/or physicians offices that are designated by CIC for the medical exam? I know that some people have to travel to complete theirs, and I'm just curious! I'm in Alabama, if it helps...

That's true. I guess I didn't factor in the cost of travel between Canada - USA for the 2 of us because I don't know how much we'll actually be able to travel back and forth once I graduate and have to work. :( He'll probably be able to drive down here some, but I'm assuming I won't have a whole...

UCarleton has a very good reputation. One of the top universities in Canada, from what I've heard from my Canadian friends. University of Ottawa is also good if you're interested in staying in the city.

I guess it's good that it's all spread out though eh? That might be easier to handle, I suppose! Silver lining!

Okay, 1500 is what I had assumed, just due to what I'd heard from others. Would I have to get an FBI check in both the US and Canada since I've been to Canada a few times (though under 6 months each time)? Thanks for your input! :D Still interested in hearing other opinions! All cases are...

Hey, all. I know the application fees total $1040, but I am working on a spreadsheet so I can see how much it will all cost altogether, including medicals and FBI (and perhaps even airfare to do the medicals and other unforseen expenses). Hopefully we would pay the $1040 up front. I would want...

It's bizarre that your sister and the love of her life have not taken it upon themselves to research their options for immigration. That sort of thing should not be your responsibility. I don't mean to be harsh, just truthful. They are very young. What's the rush? I agree that her boyfriend...

I'll be visiting my significant other in his hometown in 2 weeks, and I was thinking about dropping by the local Emloyment Services. I was wondering if anyone else has had luck with using this if you're on a work visa? I am considering doing the 1 year temp. work visa, so that's why I'm asking...

I've looked at it, but I was hoping for some personal experiences, in any case. Does the 12 months for Buffalo include the 81 days for Sponsor approval? Could my boyfriend apply as a sponsor before we file as common-law? (We would, hypothetically, live together for 12 months before filing our...

I have a few questions about the processing times for PR, both Inland and Outland. I am a US citizen dating a Canadian long-distance. Anyway, on to the good stuff. I'm just curious how long Inland and Outland have taken for those of you who have completed the PR process or those of you who are...

Ah, thank you! The program fee certainly is a lot less.... :D Thanks so much for the link. I'd heard of SWAP USA for Canadians, but not SWAP Canada for the US. I guess it makes sense. :)

Ahhh, interesting re: the LMO! I didn't think about that! I am heading up there at the end of the month, so maybe I can ask around. My boyfriend tells me there are 11 or 12 hotels in his town, so I might be in luck. If not, I'm sure I can find work somewhere. I have decent work experience in...

Yes, I am glad I'm getting a head start. I hope it will speed up the process when the time comes ,or at least allow as few hiccups as possible. I am worried about submitting the application and forgetting something, so I'd rather start compiling things in the meantime, perhaps. That's a great...

I gotcha! Perfect! Yeah, assuming everything works out with a Work Holiday Visa, I am hoping to live over there for 12 months at the very least. (Might end up renewing as a visitor toward the end of that visa, seeing as I'd have to leave if I didn't do that.) I love the Cosco card idea and will...

Hey y'all. I'm new here so please excuse me if I am posting in the wrong forum. I am an American student graduating university (in the US) in December 2012. Here are some questions about BUNAC USA Work Canada: 1.) What is the processing time for this visa when you applied? 2.) When BUNAC...

Thank you so much, both of you. Leisa, your list is fantastic! We do have loads of pictures from our visits, though I am afraid I've already chucked my ticket for a Habbs game and another event. (They were 4 months apart.) I could see if my boyfriend has the e-receipts. We have also stayed in...

Hi, all. First-time poster here! I have been dating a Canadian (male) and I am American (female). I have one more semester of university (graduate in December), and I'm thinking about applying for the BUNAC USA Work Canada Visa in January or February 2013 so that we can live together for 12...
