    New Car - Advice Required!

    I'm pretty sure she does not - As the vehicle will be part of her "goods to follow" and therefor are tax exempt. The only fees she will end up having to pay is the RIV registration fee and the RIV inspection fee which can be done after its imported into Canada. I imported my car once I received...

    CPP-Ottawa

    Hey guys! So I'm probably jumping ahead of myself, as I haven't received COPR in the mail quite yet, and it may come with instructions on what I should do. But I figured I'd ask, so maybe I can plan a bit ahead. I've been in Canada for three years - First a student visa, then visitors (renewed...

    CPP-Ottawa

    I got a call today from CPP-Ottawa stating my permanent residency has been approved! She said depending on Canada Post, I'll have it in either a week or two but less than a month. The woman I spoke to was so, so nice. She said it's time to celebrate! I haven't posted much on these forums, but...

    Worried and slightly confused.

    I initially started my application for common-law sponsorship back in June, 2012, through the States. In January of this year, I received a request for initial documents (RCMP records check and Right To Permanent Residency fee), which I completed and sent in the documents late January of this...

    June 2012 Applicants - Join Here

    They finally started working on my application on January 9th! My medical expired, so they requested I re-do them. In the e-mail they sent, they stated "New Medical Report forms will be sent to you under separate cover", which if I'm understanding correctly, means they are physically mailing me...

    Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

    I'm going to be applying very soon, finally! There's one question I had, which may come across as mildly dumb >.> When selecting the USA Offices where I'd like my application processed, none of the options are Buffalo, NY? Which is where I'd prefer it to go!

    I can't seem to get help anywhere.

    I might be confusing myself. But this is what I'm thinking, and I'm hoping to be correct: Do i submit the payment to Mississauga - where the application would go before being forwarded to Buffalo?

    I can't seem to get help anywhere.

    It's me again! Things are slowly but surely coming together - and of course I've ran into another hitch. We are applying to extend my visa within Canada, and applying for my PR / (under common-law sponsorship) through Buffalo - but this is the problem I've ran into: While attempting to pay the...

    You have been so helpful! Thank you for taking the time to read through all of my confusion. I really do appreciate it. I'll definitely be taking my time to get this all together, now that I know I can apply to change my status from student to visitor, and knowing I don't have to rush through...

    I'm guessing my choice if words don't really have the same meaning as they do for you. So for that, I apologize for the confusion.

    I can't seem to get help anywhere.

    I apologize - A secondary school, to me, is not a high school. I'm from the states, and a secondary school is considered a trade school. So no, not a high school. I'm twenty six, and he is twenty three.

    I can't seem to get help anywhere.

    To be completely honest, I'm not sure. I went to school for more than eight months, so I qualify on that front. I went to a secondary school that was private - and I'm not too sure if the school qualifies under all of the rules and regulations the site is stipulating: " In addition, you must...

    Ugh. You guys are so helpful - I'd be lost without you, haha. I receive financial assistance from my family, as well as my SO. We make enough to keep us afloat, but not enough for unexpected expenses, which is what life is all about. Once I'm able to work, we'll be smooth sailing. Should I...

    I'm already finished with schooling- so I do not plan on continuing to study. I assumed I could apply for change of status?

    I can't seem to get help anywhere.

    I checked into that - And I went online to see if I can apply outland for it - But it states you can only apply inland for an extension / change to a visitor visa, which makes sense. But my question is, if I submit my PR application outland, it won't cause any troubles if I submit my...

    Thanks guys for your help! Definitely answered a few questions. Hopefully I get a bit more detail from others who may have been in my same position! I also had one more question - I found on here someone talking about an "open work permit" while they were applying for common-law sponsorship...
