Daily Commuter here to US, not sure if this is the right area. As a US PR (in commuter status) and Canadian citizen, how does Canada treat Roth 401ks and RRSP room. Previously doing work traditional 401k to lower US taxes, but since Canada is higher - does a Roth 401k with employer matching make...

My wife will be in that situation this spring (Canadian citizen with US Greencard, but will be moving to Canada and commencing coming to work in US). We had met with an immigration attorney, and it seems like you move first then immediately submit I-90 to change to C2. Did you have any issue...

Did you get any help/answers to your questions? I also am interested in what you found out.

Just got my PPR email today 4 days after my pre-arrival! What also is interesting, is ECAS still stays “in process” instead of “decision made”. I was one of the folks whose applications was sent from NYVO to Manila. I never got AOR2. Only found out that it was in NYVO initially was via a...

My Ecas status went from “in process” to “application received” - though nothing else changed or no new notifications. Assuming this is a “good” ghost notification?

Congratulations! Question: on your GCkey account did it still say “processing”background check/review eligibility/final decision when you found out ECAS said “decision made”?

No these are different as are the “Canada Visa” variety. From the IRCC website “You must also bring 4 recent photographs if the panel physician doesn’t use eMedical. Contact the panel physician before your appointment to find out.” Here is the link to the specs for the photos...

SA Approval and Medical Request received today (03/29) was 3 days after Biometrics (03/26) and a little under a week after AOR1 (03/24). CIC received application 10/05/20, so things are moving along finally (probably because of extra workers they hired). Hopefully they move as quickly once...

Mailed/Package (living in US).

Received October 5, 2020. AOR1 March 24, 2021. Biometric March 26, 2021.

FWIW the two weeks before we had gotten our AOR1 we called CIC (waited on hold for >1 hr) we called to get our temp #, and also told them we were both essential workers (healthcare) after seeing that post. The lady asked a few questions ie treating COVID patients in Hospital, working in nursing...

Also saw that “We’re prioritizing some applications, including: •Canadians trying to return to Canada. •Vulnerable people •People who perform or support essential services” So in theory many of us in Family Class should be prioritized, but even more so if applicant is vulnerable or essential...

The number will be 2 if only the Principal Applicant + Sponsor in the Application. See step #12 on https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/how-to-link-an-application-to-cic-account-step-by-step-instruction.619724/

Received AOR1 today! Took about 5 tries to attach to GCKey, but finally was able to. Hope the 7 month estimated processing time is somewhat correct, but doubt is accurate.

I submitted by October and I realized that on question #5 (Address History) on IMM 5532 I filled out the address history correctly in the space given- but forgot to include my supplemental Word Doc I made to give my other address to add up to the 5 years. :oops: I do not have a UCI number, and...

Hey Everyone, I submitted by Spousal PR application in October, confirmed receipt from USPS. Soon after submitting I realized that on question #10 on IMM 5669 I filled out the address history correctly in the space given- but forgot to include a supplemental word doc I made to give my other...

Thanks, good to know. Sounds definitely border/agent specific, and key here is she wasn’t granted a VR. If a VR was granted initially, assuming that wouldn’t have been the case with her subsequent denials?

Was this COV19 related or during normal times? Did they have a multi-entry Visitor Record (VR) on file from CBSA from the initial POE? To my understanding this then gets put in your file and establishes you as a temporary resident. As for the border closings if that played a part, I am an...

Also for anyone who reads this thread in the future, I ended up obtaining legal counsel with a CA/US immigration lawyer. They confirmed that indeed my above scenario is feasible. After submitting Outland/Consular PR and after IRCC receipt is obtained, I can present as a family and request an...
