Thanks Roger! I'm not too frustrated yet since we just started the process, but there are so many details! New question (which may not know since you applied through Buffalo and we have to apply directly to Canada): we need to send a bank check or money order with our application, in Canadian currency. We spoke with a bank rep today who told us that any check issued from a US bank will be in US currency and she wasn't sure where we could go. Western Union? The visa office?

Also, have you and your wife considered going before you get the PR and finding work and a temp work visa until you get the PR? We'd like to have a timeline (since we are both very sick of NYC!), even though we don't know how long this will take.

Thanks again,

Collette
