damn!i also only paid the $1040, but the breakdown was for three things.....let me see what mine included..
Sponsorship fee ($75), principal applicant processing fee ($475) and right of permanent residence fee ($490) = $1040
OWP - open work permit? i don't think i selected that option, but i need to work asap. husband and child already canadian, moving in spring 2020 (hopefully!). did i need to submit something else?
oh ok! phew
so once i am approved and landed i can start looking for work? or do i apply for that once i get there?If you are granted PR you need no additional permit to work in Canada.oh ok! phew
thanks in advance!
awesome - thanks a bunch! also, my husband was researching schools for our daughter and read that we have to be residents to enroll a child or pay an international enrollment fee (apparently ridiculously expensive). he believes it's three months to establish residency, is this the case or do you think i'll be able to enroll her as a canadian rather than an international student?
This is a really basic question. If she's a citizen, she cannot be charged international tuition. Because she's a citizen.
Your husband is Canadian by birth or naturalized? If yes, then your child is automatically Canadian and a citizen of Canada. You need to be physically present in Canada to enroll your child in a school, they will ask you for proof of address in Canada also.
he is a citizen by birth, born in vancouver. but we have been living in mexico for years and it's where our daughter was born so while they both have citizenship, neither of them currently has residency.
We are in the same boat
I have been away from Canada for years and I have a daughter that was born in the Philippines and she never has been in Canada, but I got her Proof Of Citizenship 3-4 months ago. I'm still a Canadian citizen and hopefully start my new life in my Country of birth with my little family, I want my 3 year daughter to be educated in Canada, school education here in the PH's is kind of poor.If you read what I said:We are in the same boat
If you are not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you need a work permit to work legally in Canada. You are applying for your PR, once its granted you will be able to work in Canada, someone posted in this thread that you need additional permits if you are granted PR... Could you elaborate on this k.h.p? I don't see anything that says a PR needs additional permits.
You will see I said you need no additional permit to work if you are PR.
