It would be illegal to take courses that you have to physically be present in Canada for. So you can take courses online, and so long as you don't have to be IN Canada to take an exam or anything, you don't need a study permit.

so where do i go to get started on that app? is there a link via CIC? I am in Manitoba....

screech, so I have to go apply for health???? or is that just Quebec? My naivete has left me thinking I just get covered by the public health care when I receive my PR and subsequent SIN #......

I would send them now.

No I didn't have to redo them. Don't know if you have to wait 8 months as a result. Hoping for a speedy result for you though. OWP doesn't grant you the ability to leave the country, no. It actually says that on it. If you do leave, your implied status that covers you from your AIP is...

thanks TO ;)

We used our Canadian address on our application as well. iirc I put the UCI on the app that was on my visitors visa.

even without a return ticket? *i feel like you are talking me down :)

please tell me i am still overthinking it

this is great advice. it also helps to not look like you are moving, so don't bring everything and the kitchen sink.

You can actually work IF AND ONLY IF your paycheck comes from outside of Canada. So let's say you tutor US teenagers online and an American company sends you paychecks from their office in the US. That is still legal. You CANNOT earn money from any place inside Canada however, even if it is...

Paperclips and staples and such are not suggested, as they take the application apart when they receive it. I organized mine into the relevant sections and forms (and actually stapled things which I am sure annoyed some clerk over at CIC as they ripped them out ;) ). Also of note, when...

In my experience CIC emails you AIP and DM, rather than sending it in the mail. You obviously will want that changed to the correct format for when they send the COPR. Have you tried calling CIC yet? Or just have heard there is nothing they can do now. If you haven't, I would suggest calling...

Congrats RebeccaF and Deedeedar on your good news!!!!!!! I love how often I am getting to type congrats these days :) As for what it says online, mine didn't change til the next day or so. But when it did it included my interview date!!!!!!!!!! Keep checking it, it may hold an extra surprise :)

Ahh then. Sounds like others were fine without the double dose! Go with their advice :)

Yep! Any and all ties help. For instance they know you will need to leave Canada to go to your appointment with the financial adviser. They just wanna be sure you'll leave eventually haha. That being said, when I entered Canada, I had my car packed to the gills. They definitely were wary of...

Go here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/INFORMATION/fees/index.asp Select Permanent Residence from the drop down menu Click Go Select the fee you are trying to pay (for example: Right of Permanent Resident Fee - Paying from Inside Canada) Click Go Click 'Pay Fees Online' Follow the...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! AIP & DM!!!!!!!! Wooohoooooo!!!! Seems QuebecOkie will be drinking beers and partying now that you have it (if I recall correctly)

Definitely agree. My wife went on EI and CIC is fine with it. EI is NOT considered social assistance, as it is actually something every Canadian employee pays for in their taxes. In essence, you are getting what you paid returned to you, not taking from the system. Definitely needs to be...

the one I did was typical, like height, weight, listening to your lungs while you inhale, listening while you cough, looking in your ears and eyes. then that was it!
