I'm sitting at 438. I am hopeful for this draw.

Thanks for sharing this. Come join us in the Whatsapp group! It's a great place to connect.

Really glad I created this thread, and got to meet you all! It's exciting. We're going to Canada!

When I went into the testing centre in Toronto to take the CELPIP there were quite a few Americans and Brits.

It'll be interesting in 18 months or so to look back and see if there was an increase in actual American immigration to Canada. By which I don't count FB posts of empty threats, but actual migration.

Yes, my question was open to all. A lot of fears and worries about this process. It's a big deal!

I was in LA for my mother's funeral, so I went to a place to get fingerprinted in Beverly Hills. The FBI doesn't give updates. But there's a thread about the FBI backlog, and what day they're processing today. TrumpRefugee, what are some of your biggest fears/concerns about the move?

Yep. It's a tumultuous time in the US. My Timeline thus far: April 16th, 2017, Decided to take the plunge and pursue status in Canada. April 22, took the CELPIP in Toronto May 9 my mother passed, so that put things on hold for a while. May 30, sent packet to FBI for background check...

Don't leave your heart there!

You mean, cross the border, activate the COPR, spend a few days in Canada, go back to the States for a while, and then move? The thing is that when you make your initial landing in Canada with the COPR, they'll ask an address to mail the PR Card within the next 8 weeks or so. The Address must...

Which Thanksgiving though?

So, do you all have target dates by which you're hoping to be in Canada? I'm hoping by New Years.

Last week, I got into an argument with someone who supported the ACA repeal. When it got heated, they said "If you don't like it, LEAVE!" I chuckled to myself, and muttered, "Planning on it!"

I feel like regardless of red/blue state, most people in this country can't understand anyone leaving, for ANY reason. We've been the destination country for so many immigrants, that in the collective consciousness there's some kind of mental barrier preventing people from understanding that...

Maybe we want to make an FB group? Or keep it here, either way!

That's why I created this thread. We're kind of in a funny situation, LOL, with many particular questions/issues.

Thanks! I was just curious. It's so exciting!

I'm at 413, finishing my profile in the next 2 weeks once I get my ECA from WES. Do they send NOIs to all with CRS >400? And if not, what percent? Thanks!

Just want to get a thread going to see if I'm the only US-based person applying for EE, and if not, let's turn this into a thread where we can share stories, questions, and all that. I'll start, I'm from NYC, and I was going up to Toronto for a weekend to take the CELPIP, since I was in...

I sent my forms from a post office in LA on May 28. Paid for quicker shipping, so I assume it arrived on Friday June 2 to the FBI address in WV. It looks like based on what y'all are saying, then I should have it back by August 15th or so. Would you guys agree?
