Thanks will definitely check it out!! I think I'm going to pick him up in Calgary and spend a few days there before going North, (if all goes well) so we'll definitely stop in there and stock up before we go I know finding the corn tortillas are only going to be possible in the bigger cities

My husband got his at the Veracruz state office! He didn´t have to go to Mexico city for anything (for the PGR). They did the fingerprints and everything in Veracruz, took about an hour for all of the fingerprints.

And it was a lot faster than in mexico city! Mexico city is 10 business days I think, and here it took about 5 days.

That's great. He's going to inquire again. The SSP could be done now right? Was it valid within 6 months? I think that might have been what you told me.

Has anyone called CIC in Canada to confirm that the app has been transferred and received by the VO? Would be easier to do this over the phone (if they can see it in the computer) then to send an inquiry.

They can probably tell you if it got sent (they have visibility into CPC-M's system), but AFAIK they can't see the details in the VO's system

Birth certificate, recent proof of address (recent utility bill), and IFE (elector ID) if you are doing it yourself.

If a direct family member is processing it, also the power of attorney (carta poder simple) and ID (they may ask for the witnesses' IDs too - some government entities require them also).

That is exciting! We also mailed it on a Friday. They got it Monday and mailed it back Friday and we would have gotten it Monday but we were out of town so we got it on Tuesday. So they are fast.

Where is your husband living right now?

Wow! That was quick! He is in Indiana. Hopefully it will be quick. We keep checking the courier tracking number to see if they have sent it back yet ( my OCD is kicking in, LOL). I am with him now visiting so once they send it back we will drive over the border. We are so nervous and don't know what to expect when we cross.

Hey you guys, any one have any recommendations on educational options for someone that needs to complete their bachillerato/GED while in Canada. My hubby completed secondario in México but did not complete the bachillerato so I think he is not considered as having graduated high school. His English is not strong enough to do a GED in English. He wants to be able to enter a trade school but needs a high school diploma for that.

It will be fast for sure! I am so excited for you guys! Landing will be fine.

I'm so glad you asked this question. I was also wondering how people have transferred their eductaion over to a "high school equivalent" My husband has a university degree from Mexico, but I'm wondering if it's just easier to write the Canadian GED? Any trade school would accept GED T.O.. And trades are a great career choice. Maybe he can start reviewing the GED study material while you guys wait?? They do have GED prep classes he can take. I know there is a part of the GED where you have to write an essay, so he'll have to improve his English first.

Congratulations!!! Just make sure you have the B4 filled out - border crossing really is simple It will be over before you know it and this phase will seem but a distant memory in your lives.

If you are importing a car, there's a few steps involved (not hard, just several steps) so let me know and I'll look up the post I wrote up with a step-by-step approach.

If you don't get the answer here, after he lands go to a settlement service with him (many Y's have them as well as churches and cultural centers in some geographies). They will also be able to refer you to English language classes for new immigrants that are tailored to integration and English you'll need to work. My understanding is that the settlement service would give him an English test and then refer him to the correct level of lesson.

The cost of their services in included in your RPRF so you may as well get their guidance and language lessons

My hubby has a window next week.. so I think he's going to go get the SSP. Do you know how long it is valid for? (We haven't even received the AOR yet)
