Thanks very much for the info. I will definitely avoid using my OHIP card unless absolutely necessary.

Thanks for sharing your experience. may i ask when you submitted your application. how long does the whole process take?

Thanks for the advice. I'm already a Canadian citizen, i guess I can still use my Ontario health insurance for the 3 months transition period. By the way, do you know what's the average waiting time for Federal spousal sponsorship case (sponsor from abroad)? and what about Quebec?

Thank you. That sounds much easier. I'm thinking of going to Quebec for 3 - 4 months to set up everything for my wife to come over, i.e: a pre-arranged rental agreement, health care coverage, get in a government sponsored french lesson program, or maybe driver's license if i have to drive

Thanks, that's what i thought, but generally each province has a 3 months rule to be eligible to its resident. could some one confirm this please?

you mean it is not necessary to stay in canada all the time?

thanks i'm actually worried about sponsoring my girlfriend in the future, as on the sponsorship form, i needs to fill in when i have been out of canada, which they could detect i have been out of country this year...

Guys, I'm having some trouble here. I sponsored my parents in 2008, as the processing moves really slow, i returned to my home country this year staying with them while preparing document requested from CIC. Their visa was issued ate last month. But just lately I heard from friends that I need...

Thanks for the kind word. I know many people do this, probably even work in another country. for my case, i'm just visiting my parents on tourist visa, still have strong ties with canada (bank account, credit card, investment etc.) as I have always planned to go back.
