I applied for PR under the family class and I feel that getting a health card is part of the immigration process. If you could kindly tell me how to move my post to the "Health" category I will. I didn't see that category when I posted.

Long story short: My wife and I were told we wouldn't get pregnant if she took birth control as instructed (every day at the same time, never miss a pill and wait a few weeks before having sex so the pill can start working). Well, that was a load of horse manure. She got pregnant a month after...

Hey guys. I want to know, if my wife lives with me in my parents house, does that count as "living together"? I don't have the money for a house for us yet and I know they're not going to accept that as an answer. Thanks! P.S. I'm waiting for our marriage certificate to come in. I am...

I am a Canadian citizen by birth. But she is not. So I am eligible (and have) a PEI health card, but she is not eligible. She called them the other day and they asked about PR and such. She told them she was applying and they told her she wasn't eligible for a health card until she gets her PR.

You've been a great source of information so I'd like to thank you for that! I'm not sure if you interpreted that correctly. It says "a permanent resident" meaning you'd have to actually have your PR. It says "You may be eligible from the first day you become a Canadian citizen." and the first...

Her dad is still paying fees (I should have been more specific) for feeding and lodging. If we tell him we are married/pregnant he will stop paying and right now we can't afford that. She couldn't apply for a work permit because she is no longer in school (he isn't paying for school). If you...

Alright so I should be applying for PR by the end of September. Wish me luck! We've told my parent's that we're married and they have no problem with it. We will tell immigration that her parents can't know right now because of religious reasons (actually true). Another question: My wife cannot...

Thank you so much for the reply! A few more questions if you have time: 1) You said "Processing commences once CIC has received your completed application." Does this mean as soon as the application arrives, or as soon as they start working on it? Because isn't it many months before they even...

Alright so here's the deal in a nutshell: My wife (who I just got married to last week in a small civil wedding) has been here (PEI, Canada) for 3 years on a student visa. Her father has recently started being an idiot and is not paying for her visa renewal (which is required by January 2013)...

I have been with my girlfriend for 1.5 years now and I love her dearly. I want to get married to her eventually, have a family eventually, but there is a problem... She didn't do well in her last semester (she has a student visa and is from Nigeria) and her father ran into a bit of a money...
