    September 2021 - Citizenship Applications

    All of those for me were done Oct 5th and updated in the system Oct 6th. I logged on today and I am scheduled for my oath ceremony on Nov 2. So I would log in and check if you have it scheduled. You should be able to apply for an expedited passport with proof of travel.

    PR or open Work permit?

    It sounds like your fiance is not a Canadian PR or citizen & if that's the case, she can't sponsor you to become a PR. You will have to look into different ways to become a PR (ex: Express entry) rather than family sponsorship.

    Selling your car in the US vs. importing it into Canada

    I imported my vehicle from the USA. I wouldn't say it was difficult, but time consuming for sure. A US driver's license is valid in canada for either 60-90 days after you land. Then you need to have a drivers license in whatever province you're living in. Insurance rates were higher (in Ontario)...

    Mmoving our belongings

    I didn't write in any of the details. The border person did all of that for me. I'm not sure if that's because it was slow or if that's just their norm at that port. I didn't want to fill it out wrong.

    No. You need to be a permanent resident or citizen of Canada in order to sponsor a spouse.

    Exporting a Vehicle from US

    I kept my car in the US for 72 hours, so I can't say for sure. Someone else has posted on here about this recently. I would call the border directly and get the person's name when they say you can just do a 180 and come back into canada so that if you're denied for any reason, you can say, "I...

    Canada PR and H1b, living in USA

    You will have to pay taxes in the USA and Canada I would assume. You should consult a tax agent who deals with cross-border taxes.

    Exporting/Importing Vehicle - US to Canada ONLY!

    That's strange to me. Each border might do it differently though. I would assume the people at the border you're crossing should know their policy though. I might call back again to that border and verify with someone else, and make sure you get their name. That way if there is an issue you can...

    US taxes, Canadian PR

    Hello, Wondering if anyone is familiar with filling US taxes while residing in Canada as a PR. I plan to keep dual citizenship, and I understand that I can fill out a form with my taxes for foreign paid taxes and since Canadian taxes are higher than the US taxes, I likely won't owe anything to...

    Exchange of USA Drivers License with Canadian DL in the province Ontario

    I would highly recommend you get a driving record from the DMV in whatever state you're licensed at, and if your license is less than 2 years old, get a letter that states when you got your full license. I had my record and when I initially got my license (which was actually my learners permit)...

    Medical Results - Pregnant

    If you are inside Canada, you can try calling and speak to an agent. I recommend calling about 10 minutes before they actually "open" in order to be able to go through the phone tree and connect to someone. You can also send a webform in informing them. I have a hunch it won't say they received...

    US citizen travel conditions during PR sponsorship

    US citizens are visa except, meaning you don't need a visa to enter Canada. Once you leave Canada your visitor extension is invalid and you would have to re-apply after you enter Canada. Upon re-entry into Canada it's up to the border agents on whether you are allowed back in, and for how long...

    CPC-Ottawa

    I got my PPR letter in January, so it may be different now. However, my letter says the first address but without the temporary resident part. So "CPC – Ottawa 365 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, ON K1A 1L1" is what my letter says when mailing from the USA. It doesn't specify on yours? Mine had a...
