FBI report is all done. For any who may be doing this in the future, here is my timeline: Monday, September 23. Had ink fingerprints taken on FBI form by a Canadian firm (note: the digital scans of my fingerprints as done in the US was so much simpler and easier than the inked). Monday...

I am a PR from the US, working on Citizenship application. The police report from the FBI is the hold up: I had fingerprints taken in Canada and submitted to the FBI by mail (application to FBI itself was done online). The FBI says for this case (electronic application with fingerprints sent by...

Thanks for the info! I found some discussions (even in this forum from last year) about the issue. For now I have selected the electronic, though my application is not submitted yet.

FIlling out my appl for citizenship. What's better, Paper or Electronic? Opinions please. Thx!

Just to clarify my own post: (1) I wanted to know "who to avoid". And (2) I was mentioning that I, myself, am looking at using AMJ Campbell. They are Canada-based but also have an office in my US residence state (Florida). Have not contracted with them due to first getting established in...

I needed only my US state DL to get an Alberta DL recently. But to get auto insurance I had to provide DL "abstract" ...I had never heard of those before

For what it's worth, I "exported" and "imported" my own car without using a broker. You have "export" the car from the US, stopping at the US side of the border to do so, then "import" the car into Canada, stopping on the Canadian side to do so. Then you need the RIV inspection, the insurance...

Yes. Plz. Who to avoid? I am thinking of AMJ Campbell. Not cheap but it's a Canadian company with US presence. Atlas movers affiliate.

That's Great you folks got yours so quickly as well. The prospect of waiting for the first PR card is pretty bad. Probably worse (for me) than waiting for COPR. Yes, Pearson is vastly different from the little outpost I entered through in Coutts, AB. lol

I'm a recent PR, from the US, and today I was happy and astonished to receive my PR card in postal mail. My "landing" was on August 28 at a small land crossing at Alberta/North Dakota. The agent at the border indicated, I believe, 30-45 days for the card. But reading various forums, seeing news...

That link (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-status.html ) seems to only want to check the status of my PR application (which is approved, and I am "landed") -- even though I select the option for checking on my PR Card application. I want to...

An interesting thread! I have been dealing with Amex for several months trying to obtain a Canadian card based on my US account and credit history. Things are progressing...very slowly....now that I am actually resident here. Though it's not been quite the "seamless" experience they proclaim on...

asked and answered in the Spousal forum.

I posted this in a more general forum without much interest. I'm reposting here. Question: upon receipt of the CoPR letter can there be a trip made to Canada without going through the "landing" process? We don't want to "land" at this time. I recently received the CoPR letter (confirmation of...

Question: upon receipt of the CoPR letter can there be a trip made to Canada without going through the "landing" process? We don't want to "land" at this time. I recently received the CoPR letter (confirmation of approval for PR) based on spousal sponsorship. Spouse and I live in the USA. The...

I found that VFS was pretty responsive to my emails last week. I think I mentioned that I'd sent an email a couple times in the evening and then the middle of the next morning I'd have a reply. I sent one email to ask (i) how to pay online (I was told by their "chat" that this was the only...

Update on my experiences with VFS Global after receiving the "passport request" letter from IIRC.... an optimistic update I've followed the procedures I roughly outlined earlier. The VFS website is pretty convoluted in my opinion. And their choice of words (likely translated from their home...

• Thank you for the direction to where the "appl number" is located. :- ) • On my consent form I put "N/A" by the "wishing to provide biometrics" section. Then I entered my name/signature/date on the section "Applicants NOT wishing to provide biometrics" and added a handwritten "balloon" with...

My photographer stamped the back of one photo with her studio's information (as indicated in the common IRCC instructions as referenced in the "letter" see link below). I followed the instructions to write my name on the back of the same stamped photo. I contemplated adding my application number...
