Thank you so much for your reply!! I just didn't know if they would actually request it, or if they would see where I already made the request and then just wait for me to send it. I didn't want to fall into a position where we were both waiting for each other; but on the other side, as long...

Hello Board, Thank you again for everyone who always responds to my questions, regardless of how weird they are so forgive me for being paranoid on this one but I just received my FBI criminal history letter which I applied for 14 weeks ago. When I submitted my immigration application on Aug...

Thank you both so much!! It never hurts to double check!!

Hey Board, I am getting ready to finally start the application process and as I was reviewing the checklist, my section says that I cannot apply until my sponsor has been approved; but the checklist said that everything must be submitted together and if anything is missing it'll all be returned...

Hello Scylla!! The only major hurdle with that is that I don't have a residence, job, or anything back for me in the US. My life and spouse are here and, as required by immigration, I am being fully supported so it would be so much more of a hurdle to move back, plus with me having a medical...

Hello Board, While going through my immigration panel medical exam, the doctor located a mass that caused some concern. She sent me for additional testing (ultrasound, biopsy, etc) and now I am going to require a surgery. My immigration Dr. reminded me that if I decide to return to the US for...

Thank you both so much! I am glad that we paid the $300 for the consultation because it did give us peace of mind that our application should be a smooth one, that was why we were skeptical to pay $6,500 for the process. I think what we may do is complete the entire process on our own and then...

Hello Forum, I just wanted some basic advice, and I know every case is different so maybe I'm looking more for feedback? My spouse is Canadian, I am American. We met with an immigration attorney yesterday and after the $300 consultation, he wanted another $6,230 for us to apply for...

The boxes were addressed to my fiancé who is a citizen. The boxes were labeled at personal items from seasonal home. His parents own a home here. I think there may have been a few things with my name on it and because of that they won't release the boxes until I can prove I'm a citizen too. At...

OK here is my dilemma, I spent a few months in Canada last year but returned to the US in October. I am getting married this summer and would like to return on visitor status until then, and then apply for sponsorship after marriage. I mailed 4 boxes from the US to Canada and Customs has...

Hey Board! Well great news, I got my first 6 month extension approved. I applied July 16th and just received my response on August 25th. This will take me into February where I can then apply for common law but I have a few questions. They are sort of sporadic so hopefully I will be able to...

Hey Board, Well things have surely gone downhill since my last post. As I previously explained briefly, the Alberta Government hired me, I moved here, and the day I started they informed me that they didn't apply for an LMO and wouldn't and that I couldn't work for them. Then the front desk...

Hello board, I am in desperate need for help and I don't know where to turn. As a refresher, I am a US citizen and I came to Edmonton back in February as a "visitor" to be closer for a relationship. I finally received an offer of employment today for a law court sheriff with the Alberta...

Job Offer Received - LMO Question Hey Board! It's been a few weeks since I've been on here but I wanted to share with everyone that I was able to obtain a job offer. I had to go under the LMO program but in the employment offer they specifically wrote that they reserve the right at any time...

Re: Border Crossing Question - I MADE IT lol Well, border crossing was EXTREMELY easy at the Sawgrass Crossing. I had 2 pieces of luggage visible in the back seat but the trunk was loaded with boxes. They asked a few basic questions and waved me right on through. All that worrying for...

Honestly I have no idea, they way they explained it was that since I would be employed by the province, then they would automatically process me as a provincial sponsorship and since they are the government they would be able to process it quickly. Is provincial sponsorship different then the...

Thanks Ponga! No, I don't have anything to hide or any concerns, I just don't want to say the wrong thing and get a time imposed on me shorter than the 6 month maximum. If I get the job, then they grant me immediate PR and the 6 months won't matter. But if I do not get the job then I plan on...

Thank you again. I must say, I am just as lost now as I was 2 months ago trying to figure out how to immigrate but it looks like it is starting to come together.

That's sort of what I was thinking too. I think if I mentioned the word job that it would raise some red flags. I can either cross into Sask through Estevan or Alberta through Lethbridge. Any idea on which border may be easier? For example, I do much better clearing customs when I fly...
