Oh I see. My wife added me as a supplementary so I just showed them my statement with address on it

That’s what we tried to do, but they only accepted ID :-(

Hey folks,

I just found out that, when you are on implied status, you are eligible for EI. I don't know if this is a known fact, but for me it wasn't so I just thought to share it with you! I have been in Canada on an International Experience Canada visa and my work ran out, so I was able to apply for EI. My EI is continueing now I'm on implied status, so maybe this can help other people as well to get through some months while waiting for the OWP. The man I spoke to at the Service Canada told me that ''things with the government don't go so fast, therefore we have this option''. I hope this will help some of you out there, good luck!

Thats new information! could you please let me know how/ where you applied for EI? Or link me to any website? Thanks

So, when you have been working in Canada for a company, on your paycheck you can see that you are paying into an EI fund. If that´s the case for you, you could be eligible for EI. The other main part for being eligible for EI is that you are without work, because for example, the work season was over(treeplanting), you couldn't work anymore because of the elements(wintertime and construction). You can apply for EI on this website;

https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/ei/ei-apply-online.html

A couple days before my work permit expired, I was called by someone from Service Canada, who had seen that my work permit was about to expire and was wondering whether I had already had a new one. I told him I hadn't and that I was going to stop my EI on my last day. He asked about my status and I told him that it was implied status because of PR application blablabla. And than he told me that, because processing times take so long, being on implied status, you are still eligible for EI, to help you over that hump of waiting time.

Hopefully this helps!

Please anyone ?

Hello everyone

I am just wondering, once we pass the medical visit, do we have to transfer anything to cic ? (Like I had to do with the schedule A) or is it only the doctor doing everything and my application will update when it's done ?

Thank you

Please anyone ?

I'm in Ontario and the doctor who performed my medical submitted everything for me. I had the first part of the exam and the x ray done in two different clinics and my results were received by CIC within a week. I uploaded the receipt form that my doctor gave me as proof of completion, but I don't think it was necessary to do so.

So my wife is PA and I'm the sponsor, she just got a job but it is seasonal. After seasonal work is done, she's eligible for EI? Would that be a good reason to apply for EI while looking for other work?

Absolutely. Her job is seasonal, so it is not her fault that she's 'without work'. The season has run out, so the moment that happens, you apply for EI and than you can be on EI and look for work, while still receiving funds. Funds that you already have been paying into!

Hi all, Im going to do an inland application soon, I'm wondering if I need to do the medical exams before summiting the application or I must wait for their request. Thank you.

No, do what they say, on the checklist has mentioned it.

 

[Jenny X]

but when you submitted your paper, you gave the PCC already right?

Yes. I sent my country's PCC with my application. So they only required for schedule A,guess they will require for Canada PCC later.

Hi , I am preparing to apply soon but need a little clarification with regards to the police clearnce for Kuwait residents.
Do i need to submit along with my application or will i be requested as when i attempted to get the PCC,Kuwait athorities asked for a letter from the canadian embassy. need your help please if anyone can!
Thanks

Your guide is the document checklist. If it says you’ll be needing to provide PCC from Kuwait upfront with the application then you will have to. But like you said, you’d need CIC to request from your government. Therefore, what I would do is provide a letter explaining your situation - how you can’t attach it with your initial application. That’s my opinion. I hope others can jump in on this one. Countries like Mexico I think need a request too. I’m just not too sure though.
