We went to Canada through the land border at Detroit on Jan 30th. Everything went smoothly; We spent about an hour at the IRCC office. The CBP at the US gave us more trouble than their Canadian counterparts! Thankfully, we were able to go fly back to our home state Florida (from Michigan) on the same day.

Hi D1! Very helpful! Thanks for responding! I have two questions:

1. What hotel did you stay at for the first 3 nights and what was the experience like?

2. Did you have to show intent that you are moving permanently? If so, how did you navigate that with coming to Florida?

Happy to DM as well

How do y’all deal with people at work who are stuck on stupid? Like they have no idea what they’re talking about and they REFUSE to learn.

Maybe it’s bc I’m a type 8 enneagram, but it frustrates the hell out of me!

I'm currently on implied status in Canada (applied for an extension before the expiration date on my OWP), but lost my job two months ago.

I tried coming plain from the first interview, but that has been working against me. The CIC website says I can keep working with an expired WP and SIN but recruiters think otherwise. Help!!!
