    Question about PR visa procedure

    2) Someone had mentioned to me that the immigrant visa is "physcially inserted" into the passport. What does this mean? I had though that it would be a visa stamp. Can someone who has gone thru this procedure shed light on this? ----- When immigrant visa is issued, a visa stamp is put in the...

    Timeline for PR Card?

    I landed at Pearson Internation to complete landing process on 22 Nov 2005 and my PR card was delivered at the Canadian Address I provided around 10 Dec 2005. Did you and your wife/son land together? It could be just the mail got delayed due to the Christmas rush. Hope you get it soon!

    Canadian Bank Account

    Being in the US, we tend to get used to some luxurious services. Unfortunately, some of those are not available in Canada. I do not think you can open an account online. You might be able to do so, but full access will only be available once you go to the bank in person. Check out the site of...

    Landing Process and Necessary Info

    Amit, You can complete landing process and return the same day back to the US. What is important is the PR Card and not the SIN card. PR Card is applied for by the official completing your landing process and very rarely have people been called in to get another photo taken. I had the same...

    Canadian Driver licence

    I don't think it would make you IL driver's licence invalid. Canada is a different country than the US and therefore you should be ok. Someone told me that when you exchange your licence (from any US state) to Canadian Licence, they give you your old licence back and issue you a new one...

    Goods To Follow List

    For electronics items, you need the make, model & serial. These are goods you currently own that will be tax free and to prove that you own them, the only way is to list the make, model & serial. If you do not have the information, then the Canadian Authorities might refuse to stamp on your list.

    Cashier's check is a safer option, don't know if they accept bank statements as proof of funds. I just completed my landing procedure the thanksgiving week and the officer did ask for proof of funds. I had 2 chks totalling to 10K.

    I believe FBI Report (or PCC from any other country) is valid for 6 months from the date of issue. If your FBI is stamped in the back with a date in June, and considering Nov is almost over, it might work, however, what I would do if I were in your position is send what I have currently and...

    landing experience

    I completed the landing process earlier this week. The whole process was very smooth. There was no line at the immigration. The lady double checked the info in my passport matched the info on the COPR, she then stamped the passport and re-directed me to a kiosk where they gave me...

    landing & coming back around XMas

    Hi Depika I believe you clear US Immigration at the Pearson Airport and apart from the usual wait to get to the front of the line, you should really have to wait much provided all your documents are in order. I am planning to complete my landing next week and will be travelling into...

    Canadian PR points from 67 to 75?

    I agree with Kenny's thought... the lawyer is only interested in your money. If at all points were increasing, alot of web sites would have that information already and so would the official CIC website.

    I agree with Sri25... it is likely that many people are on some sort of medicine and that does not mean that they get rejected directly. If it is controlled ailment, and would not put alot of financial obligations on the Canadian Governemnt, then I don't see a problem. However, in an event...

    Has anyone been actually denied entry for not meeting 2 of 5 yr rule

    TexanCanadian, The best option (this in ONLY my opinion) is for you to not take the risk. Between 2006 and 2008 (I am not counting the 2 months of 2005) what you can do is whenever you and your wife have a few days off, you can go to Canada for vacation. Each day you are there counts towards...
