How has it gone for people crossing at Port Huron? Any problems exporting your car at that crossing? We are crossing on Friday. They are only open from 8 to noon. Is it stacked up a mile high with other truckers coming in with vehicles? I a landed Permanent Resident bringing my final load...

Just to let people know we landed on Oct. 3, 2010 at ten p.m. at Lewiston Bridge with a truck, horse trailer, furniture, boxes. We had our titles, car had been exported, lists were filled out, goods to follow list was filled out, and landing took two hours even though we were the only people in...

Well, one thing I can tell you is to make sure and tell them you are bringing the car in from the US even if you are coming with it from Canada. I had been here in Canada visiting my husband for six months, and was coming with the car from Ontario, and they had a 'fit' about the car being in...

Also, do we stop at the U.S. export office on Friday when we are coming into the US from Canada? Or, do we stop at it on Monday, when we are returning from the US and going into Canada? We are faxing all the car papers today. And, as far as I can tell, I don't need to "export" my horse...

Gosh, Allison, your advice has been wonderful. Yes, I do have your post about exporting the car downloaded and in my file. One of my vehicles is over 15 years old and we don't need a recall letter. I am working on getting the other one from Mazda. Why is it better to get that letter in the...

Congrats lynw and Britncanada :P :P :P :) I am planning on landing next week as well. Please let us know about your experiences when you land. Any advice or ideas would be great! Too bad they didn't return cards or photos. Detroit sent back all of our photos, cards, letters, airplane...

Hi Guys--I am putting this question on this thread and the Settlement Discussion. I am having to import/export my pickup truck in Buffalo next week. Ideally we would like to get there at around 6:00 p.m Thursday night, wait out the 72 hours back in the states, and then pass back through the...

Hey just wanted to update the June applicants particularly those applying via Buffalo. On Monday, September 20th, we received my visa from the Detroit office. All together it took 104 days from start to finish to the visa. I don't know what I would have done without all the information and...

michaelab--Wait for that citizenship card for your daughter and then FedEx your other FBI certificate along with her citizenship card all at one time to Detroit. Don't even bother to try to get them to try track down your FBI certificate at Buffalo, unless you do it by email. Send those things...

Wow, Cherlyn, and other March apps--I am truly sorry to hear of the delays in your cases. Especially you, Cherlyn, your case sounds really clearcut. I am very grateful that there has been swift progress on my case, but I really "feel" all of your stress and frustration. Here's hoping that...

Sorry Michaelab--I was unable to access my computer for a few days. You have to create a personal account to do a prepaid FedEx label. They cannot do it at the office. Call FedEx if you have questions. They will walk you through it, but, hopefully you are not on dial-up like I was. That...

Personally, I wouldn't cross over. Do you have to? If you have to, take everything you can. Any copies of your application, your receipts, etc. Did you get a Visitor Record when you first came in? Are you a U.S. citizen? Have you filed for an extension? I would also be worried and...

Ohmigod--If you get transferred to Detroit--there is one nightmare. When you send your passport in, they do not accept anything but FedEx and the U.S. mail regular only, if you are in Canada. They insist that you send a prepaid FexEx courier label. You must do it online, and we are on...

Yes, the email I got actually asked for my passport. It seemed weird to me when it started off with the word visa, but, then it continued with a request for my passport for permanent residency. What exactly does PPR stand for? And what does that letter look or sound like? By the way, not all...

I had never contacted CIC in any way. I just filled out the form and put our email address in the space requested. They have contacted me by email ever since they transferred my file. Also, I would be hesitant about emailing CIC unless absolutely necessary. I was a government worker at one...

Thanks, nyssa. I know our timeline is so brief compared to many on the forum, but, if more people start seeing quick turnarounds maybe that will help 'dial the stress down' for everyone! We all need some good news and some happy stories!

Well, last week I was transferred to Detroit, and the good news is: This email I received from Detroit today says, "Your application for permanent residence in Canada appears to be ready for visa issuance." My file was transferred to Detroit last week. LAST WEEK!!!!! So, for those of you...
