Congrats!! EAD, dont forget your EI if u qualify!!

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

Thanks Flames I don't know if it's worth even trying for my EI. I left my job mid Feb. trying to get everything organized with selling my home and car.

I actually thought I would have been here in Apr. but MTL took awhile with the interview

So I'm almost positive the EI will say I quit too early and not entitled. I may just file and see how it goes I suppose It wouldn't hurt to file anyhow

No harm in applying online! It does take a bit of time but the worst they can say is no! :thumbs:

Sure do! There is a trick with ONT being the province that you are applying in (Out of Canada Claims). Can someone else help on that one as I am forgetting exactly how that works!

Is the filing procedure different when outside Canada.? I'm going to file anyhow even though I expect em to say I left my job too soon

I plan on telling them I was here in the US with Lorry from Feb to May making preparations for my relocation and also neeeded some of the time from when I left my job to sell my house and car and get things finalized in Canada. Hopefully that'll fly but I'm not really expecting them to approve the claim We'll see :)

It's not really "different" - it's just that all out of country people get processed throug the Belleville Office. Therefore all Out of Country claims go through ONT (instead of the province where you lived - if you lived elsewhere). Other than proving that you are "work authrorized", I don't think ther'es much difference (well the taxing is higher cause you don't live in Canada & they give you less weeks) but other than that it's EXACTLY the same procedure to apply etc. (you can do it online - you just have to send all the documents to Belleville).

I filed online. Besides sending the ROE to them will they be wanting anything else?
