Hey everyone!

So the fiancé and I are heading to the border for him to land on Monday. Anything we should know??

We're travelling in NY at the moment so we're driving through the Buffalo border.

I'm very interested too! My husband and I are going across at Detroit on Tuesday. Debating whether to claim it as a shopping trip then come home after or to tell them we intend to land on the way back. What is the best way?

shudda

Personally, I'd go and not say anything about landing because I believe somewhere on this forum people have been told to just flagpole...If you're heading to Detroit for something - just be honest about the reason but don't mention the COPR.

Got our COPR arrived yesterday morning after seeing Decision Made on Friday morning! Actually did lots of jumping and dancing around living room. I know how everyone feels now. What a brilliant feeling!

Congrats.

Almost identical time line to my own.

So much to think about now. When are you looking at moving to Canada. It likely to be mid June for myself as I need to give 2 months notice at work.

yzf.shaun, I am pretty sure you will get yours soon as our timeline is not far from each other. So hang in there and keep positive. We are trying to get flights for end of april. Hubby got a job and they are patiently waiting for us. I need give 1 month notice so will need to do tomorrow.

canuck that's what i'm saying about almost identical timeline.

I got mine yesterday morning as well. I had finished a night shift and had only been in bed a couple of hours but when there was that knock at the door from the post man I was down the stairs like a shot

Ok quick question for those who received their COPR who's got dependents age 5 years old and under. When we looked at our COPR my kid's name are not on the dependent's list. When we sent our application they refunded us cdn$300 saying that
As it appears that you held Canadian Citizenship status at the time that your child was born outside of Canada, your child may be eligible for Canadian Citizenship. Visit www.cic.gc.ca for information on how to apply for citizenship Dependent Child. A refund in the amount of $300 was requested on your behalf. You should receive this refund in six to eight weeks

They both have their own british passport. Does anyone know a phone number is CIC london where I can actually speak to someone and not a recorded machine. Again thanks to all who have been supportive on this forum.

That is great...and yes it feels brilliant doesn't it! You will be here soon, April will be a busy month for you.

Hey Cunnuck, you have to apply for Citizenship for your kids. We did this a while back for our son. Its takes a few months to come though -i think 3-not the 12 it says on the website, but is quite simple. I email London a long time back ansd asked what happens if its not through before we want to move and they said they issue some sort of visa into the british passport. I believe you need the citzenship stuff for schools! Healthcare and things so I'd get going on it at the same time as contacting the embassy. You need to speak to the uk consulate though for advice on it.
