Side note : You are not milking the system if you have been paying into these taxes and meet eligibility requirements.

Hi all, I have been in this situation specifically myself and feel as though there is a lot of misleading information in this forum that is not based on facts. First, lets distinguish that there is a difference between EI and Benefits (such as CCB). For EI purposes, you can continue to...

Hello everyone! Just a little bit of an update of how landing went. First, I realize this process can be different for everyone, but I just wanted to let you all know about our experience. He landed in Montreal, and the immigration line was quite long. Waiting time and processing took him...

My spouse already has a drivers licence in Ontario, I believe that was on the list if accepted documents, so I'm thinking he will be able to apply right away!

Good question! We will be applying tomorrow in North Bay ;) I will update you after we apply of when we get an answer :)

Well I figured it out anyway! He is landing today :)

Well they allowed me to add him, you guys are right! There is not a lot he is eligible for until he gets his health card. Thanks for pointing that out! I'm so excited that he lands today :)

We have not bought any medical insurance yet, he has however been added to my insurance at work. Is that some documentation he should bring with him at the airport, or mostly just for peace of mind?

Great thanks for the advice! He actually lands in Montreal, bit of a different flight pattern for us.. But I will make sure to tell him that. If he doesn't get it at the airport, he can still get at a Service Canada office right? Its a 10 min walk for our house, so I'm sure it will not be a...

Hello everyone! I wanted to check in since going to the VO in Warsaw :D :D :D My spouse arrived their prior to the opening of the office (they are only open between 8:30 and 11:30). Once he went into the office and submitted the passport and pictures, he only had to wait 15 minutes before...

It depends.. We looked up his Masters, but it would only count as a Bachelor's here. We had gotten a website from the Multicultural Centre here in North Bay that allow you to see how your education converted to Canadian standards. It is quite surprising though given that the Polish education...

At one point, maybe it was longer than a year ago, the processing time for the Warsaw office was 8 months. I remember seeing it when my husband and I were first looking into the sponsorship process. On the website it used to indicate that total processing time was sponsor approval +...

He is an engineer and will start looking for a job as soon as he gets here :)

It counts from when Warsaw receives it unfortunately :) Cracow is beautiful as well! My spouse is from near Cracow as well! He loves the lake here too, Nipissing, as he enjoys fishing. It must be hard for you to connect with other Polish people. There are very few in North Bay and it is hard...

I really hope that was not the case! You are approaching the 8 month mark, not sure if it was 8 or 12 when you applied. Also, just noticed that you are from Timmins! There are some of us from the North :P My Polish spouse finds it very cold in Timmins, I can only imagine how yours handles the...

I am sorry to hear about your situation! I was in the same situation for SA approval, but at least I could call to get more information. Unfortunately I am not sure what more you can do. I have read online that if you send a case specific inquiry prior to the posted processing time when you...

Yes I agree, a visit to the VO is the best option! Thankfully my spouse does not live very far away from the Warsaw office, and will go there tomorrow in person. I will let you all know if he gets any further clarification tomorrow. Also, I think that your request might be different than...

Thank you very much! I think I will send my husband to the Visa office in person, to not have to worry about anything :)

Thank you for your help! So I should mail a photocopy of the passport, as well as the photos? I should I e-mail the copy of the passport separately?

I just got a 'Request for Submission of Passport(s)' Cheesy Cheesy And e-cas has been updated to decision made. in the email they ask for : 1. A photocopy of the bio page of your passport and each accompanying dependent to the Embassy of Canada in Warsaw by mail, e-mail...
