When I went to go my health coverage they said I could only get it if my visa was at least a year long. Maybe they changed it though.

I'm sort of in a similar situation right now. My boyfriend and I are applying as common law in March and for the first two months we lived with his parents without a rental agreement so what we're doing is including mail we received at that time going to the same address and a joint bank account...

I did the survey last night, it's good to see that they are looking for input on how to execute immigration practices.

I hate to be nosy, but may I ask what happened?

I remember a little French, but I disagree with your husband. French is a big thing to have if you live in Quebec, but other than that it isn't necessary. Barely anyone here in Alberta where I live speaks French, aside from those people who move here from Quebec. My Canadian boyfriend doesn't...

Im pretty sure you can just write on the back. Thats what I did with my work permit application (which was through Buffalo) , and it went through just fine.

Re: For those that have already landed... 1. I had the hardest time adjusting to the climate. I'd never seen so much snow in my life when I got here, even though I had visited before. 2. When you get here join a club and take advantage of any newcomer resources in your area. I wish I'd done...

I havent "landed" yet. But I am here in Canada on a 1.5 year work visa. I will say that moving to another country was hard. Its been hard adjusting to life here. The first three months I was miserable because I missed my old culture, friends, family, and the weather from my hometown. But if you...

I haven't gotten my medicals, but the doc in Chapel Hill quoted me the same price Merik had to pay. When I heard that and started reading these forums and realised getting them done in Canada was substantially cheaper, I decided I'd definitely get them done in Canada if I could (and now I can...

I'm not from China, but I don't see how not getting married would hurt your application as long as you have solid evidence that your relationship is genuine and you and your girlfriend have been living together for at least a year. I have to agree with steaky, times are changing everywhere. Even...

Well that's a nice way to think. Look I'm 21 and my boyfriend is 19. I didn't qualify as a skilled worker and still I managed to move to Canada with a work permit so him and I could qualify as common law. If you wanna know more PM me cause I'm at work right now.

Thabks for the advice. :) His pastor snd our doctor does know we were living together then, so I may try to get one of them to write a notarized letter for us. And I will definitely include sn explanation of everything with my application.

Seriously?!?! That is even worse. I don't make much but my boyfriend and I are saving for a house in the future and are saving for that. Why the heck should we be taxed for saving for a future we plan to build in Canada, when the US isn't helping us with a thing. I can understand being taxed for...

We paid in cash since they wouldn't take money orders or anything. And they won't write it because his dad doesn't want people to know they were ok with us living in their house together without being married. Although almost everyone now knows we did.

If someone is working or living in the US at any time of the year, I think this is good. But if you're living and working solely in another country then this is outrageous. The US is just doing this to pay for their irresponsibe spending habits. And why I have to tell them about my bank account...

Oh and I have old check receipts from my job that are addressed to that address as well and so foes he. I just wish his parents were'nt being jerks. They just asked us to house sit for them too and his dad wants to borrow $200 but eont help us out with this.

We have a joint bank account that we set up and it lists the address, car insurance bills, and my shipping receipts for me.sending my stuff to his parents house. Oh and its on the copy of both of our old health care cards listing the same address.

Awesome! We do have bills showing we lived at the same address and everything. Thats giid to know.

My boyfriend and I are planning to apply as common law partners next year. We want to apply in March since that's when I moved to be with him and we started living together. The problem now is that his parents are refusing to write us a letter that says we lived together for the first two...

What new rules?
