    Border

    Before you actually apply, border officials tend to always ask a lot of questions about what your plans are, who will be moving where, what your jobs are in your respective countries, and how long you will be staying in the country you're entering. Once you say you apply, they know you're...

    Our COPR arrived in the mail 3 days ago at our US address :) Just found about it today when we phoned my in-laws. We're headed back to California for the holidays and my wife will land in Canada as a PR in the new year. From reading all the other forums, I guess when ECAS changes to Decision...

    Does Canada Recognize US Weddings Performed by Online-Ordained Ministers?

    If the State of California recognizes the marriage and issues a marriage license (which you would then include as part of your application) then there should be no problem at all. My wedding was performed by my future brother-in-law who was issued a two day certificate as a deputy commissioner...

    Our ECas changed to "Decision Made" yesterday, Dec 4th. So hopefully things are good so my wife gets her COPR. I believe what this means is that they'll mail the COPR so she can land as a PR? Can anyone tell me what happens next? Thanks!

    That's great news! I got my ppr the day before you. I guess Ottawa is really starting to move. Two PPR's from May applicants is awesome! Let's hope more good news comes down the pipe not just for Ottawa but for everyone!

    For all those who have applied to the Buffalo VO. Since it is now closed, the CIC website has been updated to include the processing times of all the US VO's. LA, Seattle, NY, and Detroit. Processing times are all 10 - 12 months for these VO's. I wonder what is realistic tho? With a standard...

    Waiting for PR while staying in Canada as a TR

    Oh and also, don't be like that couple that had their pregnancy in a motel next to the hospital. Actually go to the hospital and get the proper care your baby needs. Doctors by their oaths to the profession have to treat you. If you're worried about the medical bills afterwards, don't. Do you...

    Waiting for PR while staying in Canada as a TR

    Hi All, My wife and I applied for her PR in April (I am a Canadian Citizen and she is a US Citizen). Health insurance in BC or MSP (Medical Service Plan) is actually allowed for those who have applied for PR. This is because you are deemed a resident. If you go to the MSP website and check...
