My application was handled by a representative, thus I have no access to gckey. Thanks for the info tho!

Hi fellows, need some help urgently. I landed about 2 weeks ago, and now is working on export/import my car to Canada. I'm not sure I fully understand the 72 hours rule, can someone please help to explain? Per the email CBP sent to me, the car is required in the US for at least 72 hours before...

Thanks! I don't know for sure, since I don't have access to GCKey, however, I read many comments that people receive their passports back one week after the status changed to approved

I got my passport back on the 8th and landed the same day. Good luck!

The status changed to approved, does the GCKey show COPR approved? I'm using a representative so having no access to the GCKey.

Any update on yours?

I'm in the same boat. Passport sent to cpc ottawa : Dec 12 Passport delivered to cpc ottawa: Dec 17 (delayed due to labor strike) Status changed to approved : Still waiting Return Tracker activated : Still waiting

I don't think ECAS shows any info on whether the document is received. Also normally fingerprint services they can't directly mail the results directly to IRCC. You sure that what they told you?

Are you referring to RCMP certified criminal record? You can get the fingerprints done at you local police station, make sure you ask digital prints. The report will be mailed back to you in about 2 weeks if no match found. I got mine report back in 8 days.

Thanks for the reply! I'm not too concerned about the eligibility of the application itself. I'm just curious on where the application will be processed as it can significantly impact the processing time.

Hi guys. For the ECAS, does it show information such as BGC started? My status page is stuck at medical received since July. Appreciate all the answers!

I believe so, as long as you don't physically have over $10000 cash or equivalent (money order, checks) with you when crossing the border.

Hi folks. Just curious if anyone has similar experience as mine that can share. I currently have H1b visa (7 years and counting......) in the US, not a US green card holder, and am in process of the family sponsorship through my wife (wife is Canadian). For background check (has yet started)...

Agreed, but I'm taking my chances. Worst case, I'll stay at the US till I get my PR. Another question is whether the VR becomes void when I leave Canada? I got mixture of answers in the forum, it's kind of confusing....

Thanks for the reply! I do have a valid TRV which won't expire anytime soon. I guess the TRV would serve the purpose for reentering and the VR governs the time period that I can live in Canada?

Hi folks! Just curious if anyone can help me to explain the visa record. First, please allow to introduce my situation briefly. I applied family sponsor outland in May 2018 (wife is Canadian citizen). Since my work place is at a border town in the US, I started travelling back and forth...

Good luck! Keep in mind that importing car to Canada is subject to GST if you're not a new immigrant. Also there's a whole bunch of fees to be expected when you register it in Canada, the insurance is most likely to be more expensive for US imports as well (heck, the auto insurance in Canada is...

You can take the car to a dealer for a trade in at anytime during the lease. Basically the dealer will buy out the car from the manufacturer instead of you. You'll just have to pay the difference between the trade and the residue value. As far as I know, sales tax doesn't kick in in this case.

Problem is that I don't want to buy out my car as it has whole bunch of issues..... I guess trading it in is probably the best option as I can save sales tax, as far as I know I don't need to pay sales tax on the residue value. Just taking the car to Canada without importing is kind of too...

Hi Ponda, just curious if you can provide me some advices.... Just curious how you managed to keep the US leased car while living in Canada? Thanks!
