Yeah wire transfer is definitely your best bet. Even if you do want to bring more than 10,000$ with you, it may look a bit odd to be carrying it around in cash. I know if I worked at the border I may find it a bit suspicious :p

I'm guessing it's because processing times are all over the place depending on where your application is being processed. Some countries can take a year and a half while others may only take 6 months. I think that 17 months is more of a maximum time than "average". From what I've noticed, most...

My wife got her copr not too long ago. She's moving from the US (NY) to Canada (ON). She plans to land in the beginning of February, but we have one little hiccup left... We can't seem to decide how to move all her belongings here to Canada! It's about a 7h drive, so we don't need to...

Well, we got our DM finally. Seemed like such a long wait, but looking at a lot of other people's time lines, it actually wasn't very long at all. Just so glad all this processing and waiting is nearly over. Just wanted to say thank you to you all. We've fallen back onto this site for...

Hey all, Just wanted to ask a quick question about our application. I am sponsoring my wife from the USA. We applied in April, and I was approved to be a sponsor. They sent an email saying I was approved and that our application was being sent to Ottawa for further processing for my wife's half...

Thank you very much for your replies. I love this site and these forums. This is a big relief. Seeing 16 or 35 months was just so discouraging

Via outland application for spouses, how long did it take you to get your permanent residency after your sponsor met the requirements needed? Processing times for sponsorship of spouses, common-law or conjugal partners and dependent children applications (on the cic website) shows 16 months if...

Thanks for the advice, but we were waiting months because we wanted to send in the FBI background check and medical along with our package. The background check was on back-order(?) and took about 16 weeks to receive, then when we finally got it, they said the officer filling out the forms...

We're finally ready to send in our application! My wife is from upstate New York, USA and we will be applying outland to get her PR in Canada to live with me. We have all of our paperwork and proof together after months of waiting, finally! We're just a little worried about where we're sending...

Okay so she has started to fill out the forms and on the IM008 we are unsure if we are looking at this correctly. Question 10 says "Relationship to principal applicant" I am assuming we use " Spouse" but after that question 11a) says " Will accompany principal applicant to canada" We are unsure...

Thank you all again for all the replies. We'll definitely try to get started on this as soon as I get home from work today now. Thanks for the links directly to the outland applications as well. A couple more questions (I'm sure we'll have a lot more along the way too) : Since our marriage...

Thanks for the quick replies! That's great. Is there different forms for applying via outland? Or are we filling out all those forms regardless if it's an inland or outland application? I guess we don't get the difference in application process between inland vs. outland :p We just want to...

So, long story short; My wife is from New York. I'm a canadian citizen. We just got married a couple days ago here in Ontario and are eager to be able to finally live together... Although!... We have no idea where to even begin with this lengthy, seemingly complex, process! I'm trying to...
