Re: LMO rejected twice - options
I see. Did you ever sent your application for visitor status?
Let us know what CIC sends back. Curious as this is an ongoing discussion whether or not one can have implied status when switching from...

Re: LMO rejected twice - options
What's the newest on your status? You are supposedly under implied status and allowed to work due to the LMO still being reviewed? You applied for visitor status? You'll apply for the CEC?
I am...

Re: Earthquake, Ottawa - did you feel it?
My kids didn't notice anything this time round but the bigger earthquake we felt in Ottawa maybe 2 years ago scared them. I told them the earth was having hick ups that made them giggle ;)

Re: Canada > US > Canada Warning long post
If he tells them he got PR September 2009 and hasn't been in Canada since, that won't go down well. Maybe he's lucky and won't get asked but I am with SchookoLoly on this, DO NOT LIE ABOUT WHEN YOU...

Look sad, explain your situation, I would not mention the misinterpretation of the PR card details. As soon as you say "if I had known I would have come earlier" it'll be clear that you could have...

When you leave Canada to go the States by land , the Canadians don't ask for anything but the US does. Passport, I94s and not sure about your Russian wife if she'd need a proper visa to enter the...

Re: Has my PR effectively expired?
I don't think CBSA should overlook any day especially as Canada asks it's residents to spend only 40% of their time in the country. That is not much. On the other hand the OP has nothing to loose so...

I agree with christmasoompa and James. If you don't have dependents then give it a go. Best case CBSA won't even ask you, worst case they do then either tell the truth and hope for the best or lie...

Once you land you get PR! But you don't have to give a Canadian address if you go straight back to the UK. Once one decides to move over permanently they can apply for their PR card and then get a...

Re: Has my PR effectively expired?
The PR card is like a health card. The card itself is valid for 5 years and then you renew it. It has nothing to do wit your actual PR status. Your PR starts the day you land and then you have to be...

Re: Has my PR effectively expired?
It has been mentioned before I think that barely anything counts apart from maybe being in a coma for 3 years. To be honest 2/5 is only 40% and CBSA will want a very good reason why this was...
