We sent ours to Toronto from Alberta and it took a couple of weeks. We even made sure to provide Xpresspost envelopes to speed it up.

I agree, going to the airport would be nice!

Ok I didn't realize that the appointments were made months in advance. In that case, it might be faster to skip calling and drive 4 hours to the border. There is no point in waiting for more red tape nonsense. ::) Oh by the way, if you are on vonage, don't try to call the 1888 number, it...

Someone else responded to my question on a main post. They did indicate that a visitor record is a valid status and that I just have to keep trying the 1888 number to schedule an appointment. I will let you know how that goes, I'm not even sure if Calgary is a valid appointment site. But I...

Thanks, I actually found your spreadsheet very helpful. I was unaware that they would send it by email; and thank goodness we checked because sure enough, they sent the email the week before! Knowing the time frames also inspired the check, I saw that everyone was getting theirs around the...

Thanks!

Hello Everyone, My husband just got his PR visa and passport returned and is ready for landing. We noticed that a letter that came with it gave us two options for his landing. One was to call a 1-888-242 2100 to arrange an appointment and another was to flagpole (re-enter). The condition was...

Hello Everyone, We applied in March (Outland) and my husband got his email on August 8. I can't remember if there was a March buffalo thread but I'll post it there as well. We are hoping to flagpole in the next few weeks. I was kind of curious....it says on the letter that if you are...

I'm Canadian and I'm sponsoring my American husband. We've been married about a year now and he's visiting Canada until his Visa is approved. :D I submitted our application on March 10th-ish and on April 16th it was approved and sent to Buffalo. Now the waiting game. I hope the interview...

My bad! Back on track. I haven't had a bad experience with the Canadians yet. :) 8)

Yeah you are right. I've met a few that haven't been too bad. It especially improved once I got my dual citizenship (Canada/US). But certainly the superiority stick still comes into play. One guy IMO got really out of line with his questioning. ::) He already seemed to have an attitude...

I don't think I've ever had a problem crossing into Canada. The US, yes. I'm a dual citizen and they are still dicks to me (Calgary). They just seem to have attitude problems more than anything. But the Canadians have always been nice. Even when my husband came to visit for 6 months, they...

You are going to have to provide proof that she is going to leave. That burden is up to you and it needs to be fairly convincing and solid. You said you don't have any, well you are going to have to make some then! Also keep in mind that I have heard that if a non citizen rides up in a car...

Hi thought I'd pop in on this. My husband is in a similar situation though not quite the same. I'll tell you what I know and what I plan to do, to see if it gives you an idea. The biggest issue is they want to make sure she will leave. If they see that she didn't respect her visitor visa...

rjessome: LOL I know right. I was so mad when I found out the certificates had expired when this could have been done months ago. >:( Not that they make it a welcoming and easy process. It's almost as bad as doing taxes. Fortunately my part has been done for months but by the time he got...

rjessome: Oh I figured the state certificates were necessary since it said anywhere you've lived for more than 6 months! He's lived in Cali and one other state so we got police certificates from both those states. I guess the next crappy thing was the fact that we can't see a doctor until...

Hi all! Just a quick question. My husband procrastinated on filling out his papers until the last minute and then discovered that police certificates can't be older than 90 days. His California one just hit the 90 day mark and the FBI one is fixing to. >:( So my question is, should we...

Wow what a dick. There is one in every pile. I always seem to get the dick when I go to through the border to the US...and I'm a dual citizen with the states. Go figure. My husband said when he crossed into Canada, he looked at all the officers and avoided the IO's that liked to ask lots of...

Amusingly enough it's going to take over 90 days to approve his extension. I love how they tell you to do it 30 days ahead....I guess they think they will finish it before the 30 days are up. Silly government. ;D

So let me get this straight....they call leaving and re-entering for the purpose of just complying with visitor status laws...."flagpoling" ? LOL
