About 38 days. Keep in kind the cards are processed in whatever province you're living in, so times can vary. I'm in Vancouver, so mine seemed to process faster than many others.

No duties or taxes at all - not upon importing it or even when registering it. I'm in BC so we use ICBC and when I was registering the car they tried to charge me sales tax on its book value but I reminded them the vehicle is exempt from taxes on its value. They quickly reversed the taxes and I...

I did this shortly after I got my applications approved a couple of years ago. I can't remember every detail, but I can tell you why it was a pain in the ass: The US requires that you 'export' your car from the US before you can import it into Canada. And you can't do this on your own. You need...

*Usually* this means things will go pretty quickly now. I'm in BC and once I got my AIP things went quickly. Your mileage may vary depending on the province you're in.

Sorry, no.

Admittedly I'm not sure on this - you may be correct. When I applied back in 2020 you could submit both the PR and OWP (paper) applications at the same time. I've read a few times here recently that now, AIP was needed before an OWP could be submitted, however, it may not be the case. So sorry...

AOR's are hit and miss with IRCC, but yes, that email is a defacto AOR. Pretty sure you can't apply for an OWP until the PR application is approved in principle (AIP). Like my application back in early 2020, my PR was approved before my OWP application was even processed, so I got a refund for...

No. AOR's don't give you any status whatsoever. Yes, you need to extend your visitors visa until the PR application is approved or denied.

For my application I used the date of the very first time I came to Canada as a visitor (years before I moved to Canada to start my Inland PR sponsorship application process). IRCC didn't ask for any more info on it, so I assume it means "the very first time you entered Canada".

Printing text messages from any phone is never ideal. However, it's quite simple to do what you're after if you used iMessage on a Mac.

Thats what the timestamps are for.

On the iPhone the date shows at the beginning of each days messages. If you've got a bunch of messages sent today for example, you'll have to scroll up to the first message of the day to show the date. It might say "Sent Today", or "Sent Yesterday", so you'll have to scroll back in time a few...

iMessage shows dates and times. To show times on your phone touch and drag the screen from right to left and the timestamps with show. On a Mac computer right click on the main message screen and select 'show times', then select File > Print.

Actually, when I exchanged my DL they didn't ask me how long I'd been in the province - or any questions, for that matter. ICBC simply didn't care. The police and courts, on the other hand, seem to be the enforcers of these type of rules. If the OP's wife exchanges her DL within 30 days of her...

Your situation brings to light a disconnect between government agencies in Canada. Assuming rules in ON are similar to BC, you technically have to exchange your DL after 30 days of moving into the province. My Inland PR application took more than a year, and IRCC suggested I not exchange my DL...

Managed to read the OP before they edited it. Basically, it's someone on a student visa that quit school (or was kicked out due to failing grades), and has been in Canada without status since 2017. Apparently OP got married a month ago in Canada to someone with status of some sort and wanting...

Shouldn't make any difference. As long as she's eligible to enter Canada as a visitor it's certainly normal for your spouse to come and see you.

While she doesn't need to greet the border agent with your entire future plans for life together, she absolutely shouldn't lie, or even misdirect in any way. She should answer every question truthfully and succinctly. That said, technically she's a visitor until you both file for PR. So she is...
