Thanks for the help over the last year. The day I received the email of CoPR, I scanned my entire passport and overnighted the package to Ottawa. Last Thursday I received my landing papers, so the family and I went into WA state for dinner and when I crossed back over into Canada I confirmed my...

What do you mean by stamped? It seems I meet none of the requirements that would indicate my passport is needed in Ottawa (I'm exempt from needing an eTA or Visa). I've gone ahead and sent Ottawa an email so I'll update when I hear back. There might be other people in a similar boat so this...

CEC inland - and the board says, "Approved!" But what's this mailing documents to Ottawa business about? I was under the impression I could just take this letter to the border, cross and come back in with it and be processed right there. Any ideas?

Pros: Better life Cons: Not worth mentioning. But bring cash.

Hi, Yes, I did received confirmation from IRCC, but since I was unable to visibly see changes was curious if anyone knew. Thanks for replying. Cheers!

Re: Intl. students getting a "year bonus" toward citizenship. There's nothing fair about immigration. Let's be thankful we're not refugees. I'm coming up on six years in Canada with a Canadian education, stable professional career in Engineering & Sciences, a Canadian child and I'm in the...

Does anyone know if CSE related account activity is done in the "background" of an application? More specifically, I recently added a family member to my application but when reviewing personal details in my application did not notice this update reflected in the information previously...

Hi All, My PGWP expires this 31st of this month, although my visa says I must exit Canada by the 27th. I was hoping my PR would come through, but alas, inland CEC might take the full six months (or more). I'll be applying for my BOWP this week and have a few questions if you'll oblige me. 1...

For a Canadian spouse, you can enter 9999-9999 (or whatever the exact length of UCI is) for them with an accompanying LoE. Source: Third call to CIC to finally get the correct information.

After nearly 6 years, countless visas, incredible sums of money and hard work, my patience has paid off with my AOR coming in tonight. Good luck to everyone.

I've tried that as well. There must be a way to get past, as other's in the same situation have done so but for me it's just been a glaring incomplete orange status bar while every other box is a green check mark. I'm hoping that with system maintenance I'll be able to bypass that section, but...

This is the second most validating thing a stranger has ever done for me. Thank you! I thought I was the only one stuck in that hell-loop. As someone else mentioned, different browsers does nothing, nor does clearing cache, etc. I can sleep better tonight.

Anyone else able to get past the UCI request for a Canadian citizen? I've even spoke with CIC about this and their answers do not work, i.e. put zeros or x's or leave blank.

Anyone else ever get stuck in the English/French splash page redirect death spin? You log-in, follow along and then out of nowhere, it bounces you to the English/French language choice splash page. It's been this way for months now and it randomly allows entry and denials. The only consistency...

Believe it or not, I just spoke with CIC who said this is an error in their system they're aware of but that I should still continue the application noting a non-accompanying spouse who is a Canadian citizen. So the real answer is: If you're married or common-law with a Canadian citizen who...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I completely agree about being truthful, so I apologize if it came across as otherwise. I meant to say more along the lines that my country of citizenship does not classify my family as common-law, but Canada does, and since I've been in Canada for so long that...

Here's the situation. (I've not found the answer on CIC or searching old threads.) Is the question of family relationship in regards to a significant other determined by your country of citizenship or country of residence? My common-law spouse is included in my application as not accompanying...

I've found the answer. You enter "Not Applicable or N/A". If neither are acceptable in the field, leave it blank. Source: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=772&t=4 Cheers!

That is a really valid question and one I've toyed with quite a bit. The reason she is included is because we've filed taxes together with CRA (Canadian Revenue Agency), so the government already knows I'm common-law. It's weird in that I'm common-law, not coming with me to Canada (because...
