WOW! just wow...

If her student visa is still valid then yes you can leave the country. I was assuming she would be on implied status. You need to have a reason to be let in. You have certain restrictions when sponsoring someone. You have to be in Canada for a certain amount of time I belive during the...

My medicals will be expiring too. I'm guessing they just extended mine instead?

Is your SO still going to be a student? If so then yes apply for another student visa. If not and she wishes to work you should have sent an application for an OWP (Open Work Permit) along with your PR application. This gets porcessed once you have passed first stage approval. If you applied for...

Just got a letter from CIC calgary! My landing interview is on December 11th!! hooray!!

Are you a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident?

Yes, you can only get OWP by applying inland. He also can't leave the country if applying inland too. Outland he can come and go as a visitor but cannot work in Canada until his PR is complete. It's a hard decision to make. There are lots of people on this forum who have made the same choice.

#1: I'm not sure #2: YES!!!! do this. Also, Inland is currently taking around 19 months to process. 11 months for first stage processing (you wont get a work permit until this is done) and up to 8 months for sceond stage processing, not including waiting for a landing appointment plus 65 days...

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/extend-worker.asp Application to Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay in Canada as a Worker. I chose "A work permit for a new employer", so when the OWP comes your husband can work for other companies if he wishes.

Yay Annabell!! I knew it would come soon!! :) Congrats!! Hopefully you get DM soon as well. Mine came 2 weeks after getting AIP. Still no landing appointment from the Calgary office though! Very very happy for you!! ;D

When I spoke to Alberta Health Care all they needed to sign me up was my AIP letter. or your OWP if you have one. Many depend on the province.

When you apply for inland sponsorship you can apply for a OWP (Open Work Permit) at the same time. Once you have recieved first stage approval if you applied for an OWP along with it you will recive your OWP in the mail. Mine came in less than a week after getting AIP (Approved in Principal)...

You do get a refund of any charges by your provincial health care provider once you get your AIP/OWP you know. You would have paid the $500 then got a refund if you keep the reciept.

No. Unless New Brunswick has specific laws on this. Might be worth checking out the provincial website (gnb.ca). You will need to both go a registry to get your marriage license. They will ask you some questions, you sign a form and pay the fee (around $100). It's Canada. You don't need...

If you just want to be a tourist and are gtting hired back through an LMO whilst your PR is in process then by all means cross the border. Or apply to extend your status as a visitor. I think it cost $75. I havent had to do this before so someone might know better than me.

I applied for an open work permit even though I was staying with same employer. It means you get implied status, otherwise, if you dont apply for the this open work permit you are not meant to work until you get first stage approval and then apply for a work permit. First stage approval is...

Apply for an Open work permit (OWP) along with your inland permanent residency application. Because you were previously on a work permit and are applying for a new one (the OWP) this gives you "implied status" so you can work until your Open work permit comes through. You will not have health...

I miss the royal mail (the UK Postal service). So much cheaper than Canada for mailing. I tried to mail a package of one tshirt (not heavy at all) from Calgary on the slowest way to Ontario. $20. $20?? for one tshirt???? argh!!!

If you send originals you wont get them back. If you really want to send wedding cards I would make photocopies (colour ones) and send those instead, otherwise you lose the card. The same with rental agreeements, bank statements, insurance papers etc. Also might be worth blanking/blacking out...

Oh Screech339 you know everything!!! :D
