Re: Sep 2012 Need some Advice I'm a fellow runt ;). We submitted late Sept, as well, sponsor approval early Dec. Doc request late Dec. Everything sent in and received by VO. We are playing the waiting game now. I know it's frustrating but hang in there! Our time will come soon enough. :)

Glad to be of some help! I'm no expert by any means and everyone's been so helpful to me so if even my experiences can help someone I'm glad! Again, that's just my experience. But, in all honesty, if you're not doing anything illegal and you have proof of what you say, it should really be no...

Yes, I have one that at time of issuance was good for one year. It will expire in a few months and they said all I would have to do would be to bring proof that I have filed the pr application and still in process and they would extend it. The visitor record is stapled to the inside of my...

I applied outland, as well. I'm american, hubbie is canadian. anyway, i have a visitor record and i have come and gone countless times and have not experienced any problems. Not sure if I'm just lucky but that's been my experience. Hope this helps!

I called CIC and confirmed with them that you can. So, I did use a channeler. Though, I've been told by others on this forum that you cannot. I haven't heard anything back, either way, so I will let you know if I hear anything.

I have the CIC letter approving sponsor, also a letter stating that they are working on finalizing pr app, also visitor record, then the proof of id's I will bring, as well. I will keep you posted and let you know what happens. Might not go until next week but, again, will keep you posted.

Yes, and I agree with that. But, just above that it states: You are eligiblel if...... you have submitted an application for permanent residence in Canada, and Citizenship and Immigration Canada has confirmed that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent residence in Canada...

Some of the local banks and also insurance offices offer individual health coverage. But, I haven't looked into it too much so I don't have any details.

No, just visitor. But, per TO head office, they said because I have a letter on gov letterhead stating that they are working on finalizing my application,etc, etc, that that, along with sponsorship approval and the proof of ID's they told me to bring entitles me to apply for OHIP. I explained...

I called Service Ontario re: OHIP info. I applied outland. I read them what supporting docs/letters I received from CIC and VO, and I was told that I am eligible to apply for OHIP. I have to bring my docs with me and as long as I have been in Canada for 3 months, they said it would not be a...

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Our medicals were done and submitted months prior to actually submitting our pr app and everything is ok on our end so you should have no problem. But, that's just what we've experienced.

Glad you got a response! I emailed and faxed in February....still no word :(

Kitchloo- We are in the same boat. We paid our ROPRF 3 months ago and still waiting......trying to do it patiently :) I try to wake up every morning and think "Today is the day" and I try hard to believe it and stay busy (kind of like making a game of it)....then repeat the next day. However...

I'm a US citizen and spouse is CA citizen, and sponsor. I actually had my medicals done here in Canada, using their forms, etc. and no problems whatsoever with them. However, that was just my case. It's always a good idea to call or get more information. However, hope this helps.

Sorry, I didn't realize it was outside of normal processing times! Then send the letter asap lol:), which I'm sure you're already on top of that! They will be able to get you some answer and update on your file. Praying you get some good news very soon! Praying that we all do!

I understand! And you should. I was just telling you what our MP said that as long as it is within normal processing times of what is posted online that they cannot call or do anything until it has gone past the posted processing times. Hopefully, you will have luck and your MP will be able to...

Oh no, I agree with you! I would do the same thing. I just speak of my own experience, that's all. But, it definitely doesn't hurt to try! Beats sitting here *trying* to wait patiently for this whole process to play through. Good luck and keep us posted :)

I agree. It is usually an admin person that handles it. Normally, when you contact the MP's office, they will be unable to do anything if the application is within normal processing times, as well.

I actually just called the Service Ontario mainline in Toronto after reading this post yesterday. I confirmed w/ a rep there, after reading the letters word for word that I have received so far from CIC and VO and she did confirm that, yes, I am eligible for OHIP. I have the sponsor's approval...
