    what if your job in US requires US drivers licence ?

    Glad to hear they don't seek you out! Did you by chance cross the board much in that time frame? Seems it all depends on the boarder agent you cross with :(

    My current Province is Ontario. I hope to eventually have work allow me to have ON once i import my car- as I am sure, to insure it in ON i'll need an ON licence to be insured. I hope to only work in US until I finish payin off the car. Oy, that's all confusing I know, sorry. (Hopefully 5 months...

    what if your job in US requires US drivers licence ?

    Hi all, so I am about to start living in Canada... but I plan to work just over the boarder. What do I do if my job requires a US drivers licence? How long do I have until I get in trouble for not getting a Canadian one? I assume as long as I'm not getting in trouble, no one will know? Or am I...

    Name on PR card.

    Good to know, I wish they worded things better. When I read the paper it says they will shorten the last name if longer than 20 characters long.... But my middle name was what was shortened. Thanks for answering!

    Name on PR card.

    Very excited to announce I finally got my PR card in the mail after having to resend pictures and wait and wait and wait. And wait. But I have it now! Yay..... But my middle name is cut short by 2 letters. None of my paper work was ever like that, so it wasn't an error I made when applying. Is...

    Urgency medical to allow for a quicker processing time of an application

    My thought would be to do an IN land application, that way your wife and her kids can be in Canada while its being processed. If I'm wrong, then I hope someone corrects me :)

I landed on April 2, and it has been almost 10 weeks since and I haven't received it yet. I just checked the CIC site but couldnt find a way to...

    What if I can't get my car imported in time?

    I guys, my anxiety is through the roof again! :-[ I landed April 2 and technically should have my car imported by July 2. What happens if I don't get it done by then? Is the 90 days to import strict? I will be importing to Ontario if that makes a difference.

    Pictures

    I submitted 4. I was too cheap to pat the cost so I formatted my picture on the computer after taking it so it matched the requirements. I had wallet size prints made up and carefully cut each size to proper size they want. And it was accepted. Now, a year later my local walmart is offering 2...

    Are there landing restrictions?

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew if there are time restrictions on when we can land? I know my boarder crossing is opened 24/7, so does that literally mean I can land any time of the day? Or are there certain hours associated with each place? I could't find an answer to this. I plan to land...
