One more thing that may help, although not with the application: you will want OHIP for your US-born son, and the PR application may take up to 8 months. We are in a similar situation, we are Canadian citizens now but our son was born in the US while we were PR. I actually bought travel...

I just wanted to let everyone know (in case people are in similar situations) that Service Canada gave our US-born son OHIP coverage immediately, valid for one year. All we needed was his US birth certificate (and, of course, the rest of the paperwork showing that we - his mother and father -...

He was born while our citizenship application was being processed - so technically we were PR, not citizens.

We are Canadian citizens sponsoring our US-born child for PR status (the father is sponsoring). In the Sponsorship evaluation form, question 6, A and B, do we include the wife and other son, if they are already Canadian citizens? Thank you!

We are Canadian citizens (since 2008). We are applying to sponsor our US-born child for PR status. Since we are naturalized Canadian citizens, we have to fill in the UCI (Universal Client Identification)/Client ID number) on the sponsorship application form (otherwise it won't validate...

Hi! That's all very good information. Regarding OHIP, they actually waive the 3-month requirement if you are abroad for studies. We were eligible for OHIP for the whole duration of the Ph.D., and we actually managed to get it extended by mail once, from 2006 until 2008, but when we applied by...

Thank you! That makes it much clearer! About the initial assessment and OHIP, I am going by OHIP requirements outlined in the brochure here: (it won't let me post the link, just search for Ontario Health Insurance Coverage Document List) that states they will accept as proof of residency...

Clarification: Inland vs outland for US born child Clarification: we were told by the Detroit consulate to mail our PR sponsorship application to "our Case Processing Centre in Mississauga, Ontario", not CIC Mississauga as I wrote above...

Hello! If anyone could provide clarification on this topic, it would be highly appreciated: Three members of our family (mother, father and older son) are Canadian citizens (naturalized). Younger son was born in the US (we were here for husband's Ph.D). Now Ph.D is done and we are moving back...

Thank you - it helps to know that!

Hello! I just posted a question about purchasing private health insurance for my 5 year old, who will be living with us in Canada (we are citizens) as a visitor from the US until he gets his PR documents. I would need insurance that covers regular doctor's visits, immunizations and so on. I...

Hello! We will be moving back to Canada in July and have a 5 year old who was born in the US, before we were Canadian citizens (we were PR). We realize that we have to sponsor the child for PR, but until he gets the documents (and 3 months afterwards) he will not be covered by OHIP. If anybody...

Thank you both! Now I am clear - will start procedures right away!

Hello! I have researched this topic for hours but I am still confused: My husband and I became Canadian citizens in August 2008. At the time we were in the US for Ph.D. studies, but we met all the requirements for citizenship. Our son was born in the US in September 2007. Now - 2012 - we have...
