Friday afternoon, but we only saw it today :) There is nothing on CIC site as of yet, I guess they update it a bit slower. But the important thing is that we have a case number and can move forward in the process :)

Fewwwww.. I really was begining to dispair, and we go the email. We have First stage aproval, and are sent to Ottawa!!!!! YES! Now we have to file for Quebec aproval.... here we go again :D

Depends, if you did not have them ready at the time you sent in the package, it was good idvise not to send them in later. I had to do the same, and I know we are going to be asked for them but we just did not have the FBI and the medical ready on time, and sent the package in anyway thinking we...

Yes, I agree. In the US when you apply for a Green Card, within weeks of mailing your applications they send you a letter saying that your application package has been received and your status is changed to "pending" which gives you the same benefits as if you are already approved. Later on, if...

Called the Regie D'assurance de Quebec and they said that no reimbursement is possible for back bills. So the rumor I read somewhere that once I get my coverage I could get some of the money I have spent on pregnancy is not true... that was a long shot anyways.

Yes, indeed, that will be our fall back plan if we don't find affordable clinics here. So far what I have found out by calling private clinics is that most are not taking new patients (no surprise there), or do not take people without medical coverage. The midwive centers charge $3,700 for the...

I'm working on getting accepted in the waiting list of a birthing clinic of midwives right now, but even then, they dold me that for any tests and medical related complications if any, they send me to the hospital they work with and the hospital charges me separately. So I have to go talk to a...

Good point, I forgot about the taxes. Can my husband deduct them from his taxes since he's paying anyway?

Would love to hear from ladies who have been pregnant and given birth in Montreal while waiting for their spousal application to be aproved, have paid cash, and have some recommendations of places to go and doctors to see (or avoid for that matter). Here are our facts: I'm a US citizen, husband...

would like to know the same :) I have read in passing on this forrum that some people can get reimbursed for medical expensses they incured while waiting to get approved for PR, but i have not been able to confirm this. If anyone has information, please let us know. Personally, I am in Quebec...

Hi, can we be added to the spreadsheet please :) VO- Buffalo May 13th, 2012 - Did medical for the second time b/c they messed something the first time and called me back to do some of the tests again April 24, 2012 - Mailed application to Miss. Don't know when CIC has received the app though...

Yes, my first thought was to get insurance for VT b/c it's close enough, but I was told I cannot b/c I'm registered as resident in Philly and can only get insurance for Pennsylvania. Changing my permanent address to Vermont is going to be time consuming and I doubt (based on what I know about...

I've checked with Quebec Health and Immigration and both confirm that, regardless of their husband / partner's status and coverage, a person cannot get any medical coverage until they have an entry visa of some sort that gives them a resident status... just like that article points out, there is...

Hi Morena, I'm in the exact same situation. I'm a US citizen, husband is Canadian PR card holder. Got married in April 2012 and filed outland (Buffalo) end of April. In the meantime, I live with him in Montreal under a tourist status. We have not yet gotten any confirmation from CIC about our...

Re: open work permit Hi guys, can you tell me how you applied for an open work permit? All the sites and info I read (the official Canada visa sites) tell me that I have to have a job offer to apply. But I have heard from other immigrants that you can in fact obtain an open work permit, and...
