Hi All,

I received COPR recently. I am a CEC applicant whose employer is in Toronto, and the employer sent me to client side in Montreal. I would be staying here till 30 June 2020 (as per my contract) which may be increased (not sure).
Can I apply for SIN number from Montreal and also apply for RAMQ health card using my COPR.

Congrats.
Now you are a PR, you can apply SIN from any Service Canada in Canada or Apply via Online.
Yes, you can apply for RAMQ too.

hi @Jesu_18ss due to current covid and lockdowns situation, my stay in Canada might be increased. Do you know how long can I stay in Quebec without it creating any issues in my PR
You can stay longer no limit but its recommended to apply SIN, Like nowwww.
As soon you got ur SIN, u have to update the same to your HR no longer than 3days.
If my guess is right you must be working with TCS

No issues will be created on ur PR( No panic )

Then my guess is wrong... may be something close to TCS.

For Citizenship, it is depends on the checklist you get, i mean it is unique or sometime similar to Applicant to Applicant.

Pheww!! Long way to go.. 3 Years....

For citizenship: Permanent residents who spent time in Canada as a foreign worker, international student, or protected person before transitioning to permanent residence may count a portion of this time towards the residency days requirement, where each day spent in Canada on temporary status counts as half a day, up to a maximum of 365 days.

Your information is not correct, they do give RAMQ to people with COPR
The information is not completely incorrect.
There are situations when they will ask for the original CSQ. Especially if the PR was already in Quebec when receiving COPR.
It's different if the PR has landed in another Canadian province and then moved to Quebec.

Registration procedure
Step 1
Gather the requested documents
You may replace an original document with a certified true copy-Definition (not a photocopy). You are required to have any documents in a language other than French or English translated-Definition at your cost.
Mandatory documents, depending on your situation:
  • If you are a Canadian citizen:
    • Original of proof of Canadian citizenship (valid Canadian passport, birth certificate, copy of an act of birth or certificate of Canadian citizenship)
  • If you are a permanent resident:
    • Original of your permanent resident card or original of any other document issued by the Canadian immigration authorities confirming your permanent resident status in Canada
    • Original of your Québec selection certificate, if applicable
Because of the specificity of the situation, a call to Quebec's provincial health care provider could be the best solution and help clarify the RAMQ eligibility.

Hello, I'm in similar situation wherein my company is in Ontario but I'm placed in Montreal client location until Sep 2021, this may further extend as well. May I know how did you prove intention to live outside QC, since your company is in Toronto was it easily without any hassel for you to get your PR approved? Please clarify.

Make sure the payslips and T4 forms ahs toronto address, and a letter from employer that you are in Montreal because they sent you, that should be enough

@CEC_Candidate1001 Hi, did you get ECOPR from the portal (or email)? Did they send you a PR card to your QB address? Were there any problem writing your QB address there?
