When.. as in "after how many months of stay" or "after achieving which status" will I be able to apply for a bank account in Canada ? Does anybody confirm the period of 4 months (circa) for the post-sponsorship obtainment of a work permit ?

Thank you so much for clarifying! Considering I'll become a common law partner by April (month in which our baby will be born), when will I be able to apply for a bank account in Canada? Also, do I need a work permit for it? Previously in this chat it was discussed, if I am not mistaken...

Thank you so much, Rob, for the precious info. Perhaps I could try - only if it is legal of course - transfering my savings and redeemed funds into her Canadian non-saving account, wherein she won't earn any interest. -Do you think it could create any taxation issue even if the money is merely...

Guys, Thanks for all your help. I am about to give my one-month notice and resign from my post here in India and my partner (almost 5month pregnant) and I are getting ready to settle in Canada. I want to soon relocate to Canada my savings and provident funds (namely, those accumulated...

Thank you for the quick reply, Profiler. Where (is there an office? )and how does one apply inland for that permit ? Online and along with the future sponsor? Or separately? How does it work ?

Thank you for the information people. One thing i didn't ask you before, Scylla: how does this open work permit function? Also, how/who (me or she?)/ where does one apply for it ? Once a person is sponsored, can it take more than 4 months ?

Thanks for your previous information. That's what I suspected; in this case, then, one shouldn't do that. But the confusion comes from a paragraph on Vancouver's official website. It says: Busking locations where you don't need a permit Entertain the crowds at these locations – no permit...

Thank you for your quick reply Canuck. So if her and I - once we complete the one-year period (which qualifies us as common -law partners) - decide to go to Canada and stay at her parents' house then I can make use of the current ETA to reside there until august 2017 (month in which the ETA...

Thank you, people. It all makes much more sense now. - In reference to the first question: "In the the first months of our relationship (we met in July 2015) we were living separately because she had staff accommodation by contract and she was not contractually granted housing with me until...

Thank you Scylla and Profiler. You are really helping us a lot. @Cheng: thank you for your sincere piece of advice too. Alas, our contracts ain't that amazing. She is a primary school teacher and I am just a contract employee; my contract has several limitations (e.g. can't be transferred as...

Thank you for the precious info, Scylla, with all my heart. A few things: do the parents of my partner need to register my stay at their house somewhere if I get to stay with them as my partner sponsors me and I look for a job somewhere ? Also, the documentation proving that my partner and I...

Thank you everybody. Do you know where we can find a list of employers' categories/organizations that are eligible hire a person in my situation, after obtaining an LMIA?

@scylla and profiler: Thank you for your invaluable information. We want to shift to Canada asap..perhaps within 3 months. I plan to give my 2-month resignation notice very soon. Two questions: Assuming that the period for common partnership is provable and achieved (well, soon will be)...

Thank you so much for your quick reply. I truly appreciate that. My partner is a Canadian citizen and we will become common law in a few months. Although we have been staying together for 1 year we have documented proof only of the last six months (rent agreement). Her parents would house...

Dear Sir/Ma'am, I am an Italian citizen. I currently work in the Consulate General of Italy in Mumbai, India, and my Canadian partner, who works like me in India, is expecting a baby. She plans to give birth in Canada (and therefore our baby will be considered born Canadian.) Her and I would...
