Thanks Kiri, Nexus, and Keesio.......my problem is I have quit my job and my lease is up so no lease to tie me to the US. I do have 2 bank accounts open and I DO have a backup plan in case I have to return (which is living with my parents). I can't show any utilities, a job, a lease, etc. after the end of this month. That is my concern. If we come back to the US in October for a short weekend and then cross back into Canada they will see I have been in Canada for all of August, all of September, half of October and only in the US for 4 days and then I cross back into Canada. If I tell them I am visiting for 6 months then that raises questions about my son and schooling. That would tell he is attending school in Canada. See my dilemma? I just pray that I will have passport request and be close to COPR by October and not have to worry about long term proof. I am basically cutting my ties and taking the plunge in hopes that I will be through the process in 6 months. If I have to come back to the US because of a major delay then I can do it but other than that it's all I have.

Well I do have proof of my storage locker where all my furniture is stored. Would that be proof that I am coming back? I wouldn't leave all of my possessions behind.....

Based on everything I've heard, *probably* it would be fine. But in our case, once my husband is in Canada, he's going to stay put (same deal, we are selling our house here, so his ties here will be limited). I figure that the risk of a problem happening isn't zero, and the consequences if something does happen are really big.

Can your family come visit Canada for your son's birthday/Christmas this year? Or can you plan to have a big get-together after you have your landing documents?

I got PPR today! *dances*

They also asked me for proof of financial support. I guess this a new permanent thing.

My husband received his passport request today! He can go to the embassy tomorrow and pick up his visa. We're sooo happy and excited that it only took about 6 weeks to process after receiving our app. and winning appeal. We were told it could take one year, but this info. was definitely incorrect. What a relief to be finally finished after all these years! I'm still in shock.

I think in your situation your attempt to immigrate legally is well defined and evidenced by what you've done in the PR process. Remember, you can always log in to ECAS and show them your file! I'm not a Immigration lawyer but I think you are within your right to come to Canada
to wait out the last few months of your PR process. (because you get 6 months here as a US citizen) Enrolling your son in school because you will be here for 6 months during the school year (assuming he is an accompanying dependent on your application) also is reasonable.

If the PR process does come up in your crossing, I also think that "here is my storage agreement, just biding my time until the process is finished" is a good idea too. It further indicates you are respecting the rules.

does the passport request go to the sponsor or the applicant?

Both

 

[brightredscream]

Both

I never got the PPR and I'm his sponsor

hmmmm....maybe because we filled out the form 'Use of a Representative'? I don't know, but both my husband and I received the passport request with attached forms.

 

[brightredscream]

Maybe? We didn't have a representative.
He just got an email asking for PPR, and that was it

YAAAAAAAAAAAYY!!!

I am praying that my wife gets her PPR soon also since our timelines are close.

Almost makes me concerned if there is some issue with her application since she has no word yet...

Do you have any update on eCAS?
