i'm really just curious about if i'm going to have to reattend school all over again. i already completed my 1,500 hours and am hoping to move right into an apprenticeship as soon as i am legally able to work in canada

Well as far as schooling, i am all done with school (thank the lord) i graduated in january, so i have the hours for that already. is it a good idea to go through with continuing my education up there? i really would rather not have to pay yet another school loan on top of the one i already owe...

I just got my wisdom teeth out today and will be bed ridden for the rest of they and figured I'd ask some questions about my profession that have crossed my mind recently. I am officially a licensed cosmetologist in the state of Connecticut, and plan on furthering my career up in Canada when...

aw congrats riverrock, so happy for you and your wifey! : )

my husband is born and raised in ontario so he has OHIP, and the benefits he pays for at his job cover drug prescriptions. we're still waiting on an answer from manulife. my guess is i can't be covered but it's all just really confusing to me what the requirements are. i found out my medication...

I have heard from my husbands employer (which isnt the insurance company but they told this to us) that as long as i'm not covered under any insurance by anyone else (my dad) then I could probably be on his benefits, otherwise if i was on any other insurance it would be considered insurance fraud.

omg this is all so exciting lol... i have such good feelings about this lately. congratulations to everyone who's been getting the good newsss!!!

Thank you! We figured that's what it would all boil down to. I hope it works out because I heard it takes up to 3 months to be covered under OHIP after you're a landed immigrant, and 3 months of no health insurance is not good for me : (

I am moving to Ontario from the United States... I dont know what the rules are for Ontario, but can you apply for OHIP even if youre not a permanent resident yet? Or do you have to be staying in Canada? I hope I can get it before landing because 3 months of no health insurance after I land is...

I have a question that may be a little tough to answer... Recently, my father just got laid off from his job, and through his job he purchased medical insurance for me and himself. So now that the he doesnt work there anymore I no longer will have health insurance at the end of this month (which...

Love how you always have a positive attitude! We need more people like you in this world : ) And congratulations to bo12! that's so exciting!! I have a question that is a little off topic but kind of has to do with sponsorship. Recently, my father just got laid off from his job, and through his...

Congratulations sfp123!!! that's great to hear that a Canadian/US couple got their passport request already! I was told by someone else that US/Canadian applicants don't get passport requests, unless i read it wrong. can someone just let me know what the truth on that is? i'm also curious where...

ooo thanks for the suggestions ill have to look into it, i dont believe milton is far from us. i've always wanted to go find some caves. theres lots of waterfalls in hamilton, apparently its the waterfall capital of the world lol... we used to go hike to them and just sit there for hours and...

sometimes i wish my husband and i could meet up with all of my immigration forum friends somewhere down the road because we seem to have lots in common lol. we love the out doors as well... hamilton is a pretty big city but on the outskirts theres lots of places to go for hikes and walks. dont...

so true... at first i was worried about interviews but then afterwards i realized we really have nothing to lose even if we did get one. i'm not worried one bit because we have absolutely nothing to hide so there's nothing to be nervous about : ) of course that's how it should be with all the...

yes im positive. i wasnt at first because i never even got the confirmation that we were approved for sponsorship and that my application was forwarded to the visa office. i found out we got first stage approval by having my husband call them and they verified the e-mail it was supposed to be...

i'm not ottawa i'm los angeles but my ecas has been just "in process" since february. just says medical results received and when they started processing my application and when they received it. i don't think ecas is really reliable though they update it very randomly and also very rarely.

Aw i'm sorry he has to leave : ( make the most out of your last week together!! i know feeling all too well and i know what its like to be apart for so many months at a time and i wouldnt wanna go through that again either. in fact i still am going through it right now, crazy to think that...

congrats karan1916, no matter how much longer it takes... thats another step closer and that's great. i like to think of things this way lately... if you don't hear from CIC through most of your process, then that's probably a good thing because that means they're not questioning if the...

kinda weird how i had two dreams in a row that we somehow found out i got approved for permanent residency... hoping its some sort of good sign lol!
