Hi everyone! Calling on everyone's expertise to enlighten me once again--wanted to find out if a new US VISA application was needed for a newly-minted PR status holder? A friend reported he had to get a new one but I can't seem to find any confirmation online. Any of you guys who have been...

Thanks, guys! I figured as much but wanted to make sure I didn't miss out!

Hello! Hope everyone is enjoyed their Black Fridays :) Since most of the CEC applicants are currently residing in Canada when PR is issued, I wanted to know if we are allowed to bring in personal effects (that will not be taxed) when landing. If you reside outside of Canada, you are allowed...

I just wanted to update my status as we just received our passports back on Thursday:) Medicals sent Nov 6 Passport request Nov 12 Passport sent Nov 15 Passport received (from CIC) Nov 28 Thanks to everyone who shared their info. It certainly helped the wait to be more bearable! Hope everyone...

Hi guys! I am a Dec 18 applicant. Did our medicals last Saturday and received our Biodata+RPRF last October 24th. Just wanted to update the thread. Good luck to us all! Best, K

This is the place where I scheduled a review -- vancouverlaw.ca This is another place that does reviews -- thinkr.ca

Why do you think it would be rejected though? I've applied for a (normal) workpermit via flagpole with no problems.

I don't know if this really answers your question but what we did was to apply on our own but hired a lawyer to review our documents before we submitted it. I can tell you that it was a huge help because he looked through every single line and answered every single question we had. I have to...

Hello everyone! I just wanted to know if anyone has tried applying for a Bridging Open Work Permit through the border. The last time I went to the US, I asked the Border Patrol officer and she seemed to think I could but she didn't not give me a solid YES. This was early February so I'm afraid...

Hello everybody! I hope this question will make sense to you guys! My work requires me to come in on weekends every once in a while (overtime, but not overtime pay!). I've also taken some unpaid leaves during my almost 2 years in Canada so I wanted to know if I could use the days I worked...

thanks for this post! appreciate the warning :)

Hi everyone! For those of you who have moved and notified Buffalo of your change of address--you might want to check with your OLD address if your mail from CIC is there. We moved late 2010 to Vancouver from California and despite informing CIC TWICE of our address change, we found out that...

Hey everyone! We've heard so many horror stories about fraudulent immigration lawyers/consultants here in Vancouver and other BC areas so decided to ask for your reco's. Can you please forward the details of any tried-and-tested lawyers you or your contacts have dealt with? We currently live...

Hi guys! Could you recommend please a good immigration lawyer for us to consult? We're in Vancouver already and are a little nervous about just setting up an appointment with any lawyer as all we've heard so far are horror stories from the 3 people we've inquired from. Would really...

Hi there everyone! I just wanted to seek everyone's advice about this: Will Buffalo ask for an updated FBI certificate considering they seem to start processing of PR applications 6 months after submitting it? My husband and I submitted ours last Sept 2010. FBI certificate is valid for 6...

Hi Ponchita! We sent our AINP app last Dec 2009 and got our nomination only in June 2010 so that took awhile too. Maybe yours is on the way! :) It's ok to lose your H1-B while your AINP is getting processed as long as you're maintain it while your nomination is getting assessed (at least that's...

Hey everybody! Just got word from CIC that instead of the supposed 20 weeks they previously stated in their website as the "waiting period"--it's now 30 weeks. :( We sent our application to Buffalo last Sept 2010 and have been eagerly awaiting our AOR. Wish us luck guys and good luck to...
