I'm a Canadian citizen. Last year my husband and I applied via outland application, from the US, for him to become a Canadian permanent resident. We then moved to Canada while the app was pending (so to anyone who asked, he was a "visitor"). I'm in the process of completing my tax return, and I...

(sponsoring my spouse) I know that if your application is deemed complete, you get AOR via email (or at least, you should). But if something is missing, they'll mail the application back without emailing you, is that correct? Are you still in their "system" if you apply and something is missing...

Here with an update! We've gotten some forwarded mail, so it looks like the form worked out. I'm not sure what would happen if someone tried to send something larger than a standard-size envelope, but for regular mail, it seems to be fine so far.

Hi all, My husband and I recently applied outland for his PR from the US. We are moving to Montreal next week (we have an apartment lined up). We're going by plane. My parents are flying here and roadtripping back to QC with our car, so they'll be crossing the border with it (they'll have a...

Sure thing! You can definitely send me a message in a few weeks to remind me, since moving is so crazy I'll unfortunately probably forget... This also seems useful: https://www.usa.gov/post-office. Especially the part about changing your address with government agencies, good reminder to deal...

Thank you! At least the Walgreens had software to explain what to do! I went to a UPS once to get my Canadian passport photos done, since I phoned in advance and they told me they could take photos following the Canadian specifications. I mailed in the photos and they turned out to not be...

Hi there, We went to the post office today to complete a Change of Address form and hand it in, since USPS.com states: You cannot submit a Change of Address online from an international address. If you are moving to an International address outside of the United States, you will need to fill...

I'm applying outland for my husband's PR, so he will be a visitor when we enter Quebec next month. He has some extra prescription medication, but I'm not sure what to do when he needs more. Could he go to a clinic in QC with his current prescription and the doctor would prescribe him the same...

Hi there, My husband and I live in the US, so I understand that with my application, I would have to provide proof that I'm moving back to Canada. We're looking for an apartment so that we can sign a lease and move in when we get there, and also use the lease as proof that I'm going. What I'm...

Thanks scylla! Any chance you know about the passport thing - whether a passport would show a pending application, or just entry dates?

I'm wondering about the border risks involved if a US passport-holder leaves Canada for a couple of weeks while an inland application is in progress. I'm Canadian, my husband is American. We live in the US right now but are looking to move to Canada within the next few months. If we apply...

Thank you! Just to clarify: if we applied outland and didn't want to move separately, we'd have to wait for the application to be finalized, right? Otherwise we'd have to apply inland from Montreal? (I wasn't sure if you meant he could come to Canada as a visitor and then go back to the US to...

Hi there, I'm a Canadian living in the US with my husband, who is a US citizen. We're looking to move to Montreal, and I've been trying to do the research we need. I'm wondering if the basic knowledge I have so far is correct: we could enter Canada without having to do paperwork beforehand...
