Hey all! I have some questions about landing.... 1. Does my husband need a record of his vaccinations? This may be a problem because his town didn't keep his records... 2. Most things we are bringing back to Canada were purchased by me in Canada (including our wedding rings, computers etc)...

Thanks Farfelu. We went to the "Transito" today (National police) and got a "certificado de licencia" - it basically says when my husbands license was issued, when it expires etc and that he has never had any fines or tickets. It doesn't explicitly say that he has been driving for 3+ years... it...

Hey guys! Thanks so much to those who answered my last question :) I am now wondering about my husband's driver's license. I understand we need to get a letter of proof stating how many years experience he has driving. There is no Ministry of Transportation here, it is the police which issue...

Hey all - We are planning to land in Canada mid-May but then have to go back to my husband's country in July. Does anyone know how long it typically takes to get the PR card? Are we pretty much free to come and go as we please once he lands? How will this affect his OHIP application (I...

Thanks for this! My husband is going to contact UPS today. Good luck & keep us posted about when you get your passport back! :D Congrats on completing step 1! The next step is the acknowledgement of receipt (AOR) which they will send to you eventually. Mine came after 3 months of the file...

Hey OCanadiana or bttmntl (or anyone!) I just re-read your previous conversation about ordering a waybill online with FedEx because I am running into the same problem with needing to put a shipment date and weight etc. I called FedEx right now and they said prepaid waybills can't be done...

Farfelu I think you are a fortune teller! We got the PPR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still can't believe it! Thanks to everyone for all the help over the last 8 months & hang in there for those still waiting. :) :)

Farfelu & Dazz - Felicidades! Amazing news. Enjoy & very best of luck with the move! (Farfelu - I've been silently rooting for you guys, my fellow non-Mexicans in the Mexico thread! So happy to hear the happy ending :D ) To the rest of us still waiting... sending everyone good vibes!

Hey Farfelu! Has the VO requested any documents from you guys? We had to send in an updated form 2 weeks ago. We are also "in process" as of early January. The other forum poster from Central America is already chilling in Canada. Hoping that Canadagirl is right and that we are close to the end...

Thanks Eduram - that's helpful to know. Congrats on the visa and best of luck for the future!

Hm, interesting. Thanks Eduram. And you're right, it was probably a silly question. Can I ask, did you ever find out why they interviewed you? Was there a reason or was it just a quota kinda thing? (If you don't want to share that's fine too :) )

Same here. We included our "official" civil marriage certificate, but not the Catholic sacrament certificate. To be honest I didn't even think of getting a copy made to send. We did include lots of photos of our Catholic wedding ceremony, in the church, with the priest. Proof can come in...

Another question... Mex recently requested us to send a new Schedule A form. It was the first time we've heard from them since the AOR. If other documents were needed, would they have requested them at the same time? In other words, it is pretty safe to assume they don't need anything else from...

In regards to sending a waybill, is this the same procedure that happens for passport requests? Ie do you have to send in your passport along with a prepaid waybill? Apparently, the embassy in Guatemala didn't mail passports to applicants but would send passports to the consulate in each...

Congrats Eduram, Diamonddude & MC! Such excitement all around!

We asked if it was acceptable to send in additional information having not yet received the AOR, which was kind of a roundabout way of asking for the AOR. @dazz, I noticed that ecas was acting strange yesterday, so it's not just you. That's good to know!

I'm interested to see the results....

We have a small update! Our ecas changed to "In Process"!! Not sure anyone really knows how significant this is but I thought i'd share... :) Hey Mozz, our AOR took 3 full months. If I were you, I probably wouldn't order the notes just yet... as you say they probably won't tell you what you...

Same! So annoying - we just paid $70 to send the ONE form to Mexico, just to say that yep, he was doing the same job not only for the past 10 years but also for the past 13 years. I still don't understand why we can't just email them the info?! Such a waste of not only money but also...

Thanks all. It is comforting to know that the Schedule A request isn't uncommon! Of course I was over analyzing things yesterday, thinking that this request meant that they haven't even started any background checks or anything. But I see that some of you had this request near the end of the...
