Thanks as always, Leon! You are of tremendous help! ;D Are you based in Calgary? Maybe we could meet up when we arrive there!

Thanks, Leon for your very informative response. Thanks, calgarygary for the link. That is where I actually get most of information. Has anyone actually experienced of being considered as "moving from another province" even though all they did is to land and apply for SIN in another province...

Hello everyone, I'm new to this group. I hope someone could help us in our current dilemma. I will really really appreciate your help! My husband and I are landed immigrants who are currently residing in Chicago, IL. We landed in Vancouver last June 30, 2011 and only stayed there for 4 days...

Yes, we landed in Vancouver and only stayed there for 4 days.... we even did not apply for health card. If for example, we were considered "moving from outside Canada", and applied for health card on day 1 upon arrival...and what if for example, one of us gets hospitalized on day 3 (knock on...

Hello, Would appreciate if anyone knows if I would be eligible for health insurance in Alberta when I apply for my health card while pregnant already? My husband and I landed last July 2011 and we are now planning to move to Calgary this month. However, I'm currently 11 weeks pregnant and the...

Thanks as usual, PMM! I just also read in other forums that TRP is also an option -- but just like TRV, there is a great chance of denial :(

Thanks for your quick reply, PMM! But is there any requirement that you should have been "physically residing" in the province for a certain number of months in any of the above provinces before you become eligible? We just landed last June and we just found out today that my wife is pregnant...

Will a child born outside Canada (non-US) to Canadian Permanent Residents parents become automatically PR also? Can the baby come with the mother going back to Canada after giving birth? Or will the baby still require sponsorship before he/she can come to Canada (I saw that current wait time...

Hi, I have 3 questions and would really appreciate if someone can shed a light to any of these: (1) If an immigrant lands in Vancouver, BC , when can he/she apply for a health card? How long is the wait process before he/she becomes eligible for the insurance?? (2) If an immigrant lands in...

You can only re-enter Canada via Canadian-plated rental car. Unless someone can send the PR card over to you while you are in the US... once you have your PR card, you can re-enter Canada via plane.

And another info -- I also applied for our SIN cards -- in which I also encountered a problem. My name is very long since it includes my maiden name. Because of that, my name in my COPR was shortened. For example: True name: McNally, Mary Spreitzer (Reflected in my PR visa) Name in the...

When I was preparing for my landing last month, I read differing opinions on whether a bank statement would be acceptable as a proof of fund upon landing. Well, I decided to share my experience with regard to this to provide clarification. Some caveats though are: (1) I landed in Douglas...

I think you can land as PR thru a commercial vehicle (e.g., bus, train)...but for the second time entry without your PR card, I was told we cannot use commercial vehicle. Only our own car (which we need to import) or a Canadian-plated rental car. Just an update on what I did -- I sent a mail...

Hi Steaky, Can you give more details why this was the case? And she said I can't fly in to Canada without my PR card. But I Need to apply for PR Card within CANADA. That sounded ridiculous. Another thing she said, I cant drive to Canada using US-plated car. So what is my option to come back to...

Hi guys, I just made my landing this morning as PR but did not actually move my things. I told the officer that I will only be here until July 5. She did not allow me to apply for my PR and said that I can apply for that when I finally move. Has anyone experienced this? I drove from Seattle to...

Thanks for the link, steaky...and thanks to qorax for providing that detailed info on importing cars upon landing. However, I will not be importing my car at this point of my first landing. My question mainly dwells on whether I can include a future car purchase in my goods to follow list for...

For those who landed in Canada via road and went back to US the same day or after a few days (basically those in H1B or L1 status in the US), what classification did you tick in Form B4? Settlers, or Former Residents? I read here...

Hello qorax and also to others who might be able to help, We will be landing in Vancouver 2 weeks from now via road on a rental car (will only stay there for 5 days and come back to US after). I have a car now here in the US (not yet fully paid). I don't intend to bring it to Canada when I...

Thanks, steaky ;D

Hi, My husband and I will be landing in Vancouver via road this June 30. We will just be staying in Canada until July 4 (we'll go back to US after). So, practically we are not bringing any goods with us. There are some lingering questions that I hope some of you could help me with: (1) Is it...
