Read the general life across the border overview
A Maple Hills household should know which official notices remain outstanding during a private administrative transition. A shared folder or contact does not establish that every applicant’s government record is current.
Keep notices applicant-specific
Identify the person, requested action and deadline. Follow the actual official update procedure and confirm responsibility. Do not assume an enquiry, address change or adviser handoff pauses a due date.
Check the work permission actually held
TD does not authorize employment. Qualifying E and L spouses may work incident to appropriate status with required evidence; dependent children do not receive that spouse permission. Administrative preparation or pending paperwork is not itself authorization.
Coordinate immigrant requirements
The principal must enter before or with immigrant-visa derivatives. Review relationships, ages and any CSPA issue on actual case facts. Gold Card adds US$1 million and US$15,000 nonrefundable processing for each eligible included spouse or unmarried child under 21, subject to applicable age-protection rules, including corporate cases; shared contact details do not waive individual requirements.
