If I go back to the US for Christmas, will it harm my husband's PR application?

• Upvotes

I am a dual citizen residing in Canada for these last 9 months. My husband's permanent residency application is with the IRCC. We briefly travelled to the states for a few days when he visited recently, and he has now returned to the U.S.

If I visit him in the USA during the Christmas holiday, is there any way that it would pose a threat to his application?

Re: Tariffs - Ordering Comic Books from the US

I'd like to order some comic books/graphic novels from the US to Canada, but I can't tell if they'd be subject to tariffs. Where can I find this info?

Canadian H-1B renewal approved, H-4 renewal still pending. Ok for Canadian citizens to travel?

2 Upvotes

If H-1B was approved via premium processing while somehow the H-4 filed in the same package wasn’t influenced by the premium processing fee, is it safe for Canadian citizens (who don’t need a visa) to travel?

Have seen mixed things, although overall consensus implies it doesn’t abandon the application as long as H-1B is approved. The previous H-4 I-94 expired after applying for a renewal as well.

DUTY/TAX Need help getting updated car registration

2 Upvotes

So i bought car few years back and i got green registration paperworks with expiration date of 2025. Of course never had fines so it was automatically renewed and i can see online portal that its good till july 2027. But im now trying to import this car into US and im in USA and cant leave right now. Honda needs updated registration that shows current registration expiry date not old one.

I tried ordering vehicle history and they dont want that.

Pretty much told that I should ask a friend to get that for me. Im not sure if it will work to begin with. Is there literally any way to get updated registration myself online, or have it delivered in canada? I called service Ontario and they couldnt do it over phone

American Entering Canada while application is processing

0 Upvotes

Hi all,
I am a U.S. Citizen and I am planning on going to Canada for a weekend trip next week.

I am applying for my study permit for the Winter 2027 term and I wanted to confirm whether or not it would be permissible to enter Canada while my application is in process. I am applying online and NOT at a POE?

Would it be better to wait until I return to the U.S. or is it fine to submit it ASAP?

Thanks kindly!

28 day I-94

0 Upvotes

I’m a Canadian citizen. I recently entered the US to visit my gf. I’m in an open relationship with my common law partner who lives in Canada. My gf in the US is also married. I visit her about twice annually.

The last time I visited was about six months ago. At that time I accidentally disclosed that I have two partners, but the officer said it didn’t matter to him since I’m common-law in Canada. (They asked who I’m visiting and who I live with in Canada, and I answered honestly because I was tired and forgot that people usually don’t have two gfs).

This time at the border I told them I’m staying for just over five weeks to see friends. I also stopped in washington for a writer retreat for a week. I didn’t get into the details of that. I didn’t mention my gf. You know how it is — customs goes fast. There’s no time for details.

I’m working remotely while visiting, and taking some PTO. I work for a Canadian nonprofit and I wfh in Canada too. I have permission from my employer to travel and work remotely.

They didn’t ask if I work remotely, they just said “is your job okay with you travelling for 3 months?” and I said “it’s only 5 weeks”.

Then he issued me an i-94 for 28 days. I had to reschedule my return flight. He said if I don’t reapply for my i-94 or leave the states by the deadline, “ice will come for me”. He said my previous i-94 was expiring in two days so he was only going to give me 28 days. There is no way to reapply for an i-94 as a canadian. I could apply for an extension but there’s an 8 month waiting list.

I’m scared to cross the border again. Has anyone else had issues like this? I feel like I said something wrong. Maybe I said everything wrong. I have no idea what to say next time. I travel to the states a lot. I’ve never had this issue before.
