My husband's visa has been approved :dance: :dance: :dance: but he hasn't activated it yet (probably not til after the new year)...is there anything specific he needs to do to continue to working in Canada after he does activate it and starts living in the US?

Could PM Neiks--or search her posts--as she lives in the USA, but works in Canada. She no longer posts a lot, so should not be to hard to read thru her posts

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Neiks is no longer active and shows no posts when i search.

I know it can happen, just not sure who he needs to notify/if there's anything he needs to do when it starts, other than notifying his place of employment that his permanent address has changed.

Yeah, send her a PM - she'll respond.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
