    Health insurance while waiting for PR

    Thanks Rob. They do offer visitor insurance in QC since I've done before so I was surprised... I hope getting a nasty cold, flu or sinus infection is considered unexpected :)

    Health insurance while waiting for PR

    Considering Blue Cross Travel insurance.. Do they cover you seeing a doctor or is this geared more towards emergencies? Nowhere in the description I see a simple value of copays, etc. Kanetix did not show me even Blue Cross Travel insurance, which is very strange...

    US/Canada taxes... (oy vey)

    Thanks for the reply, yes I know I will need to file with CRA and RQ. I do not understand how I will file as resident on both countries, is that even legal?

    Steps to check PR Card Status !!

    For anyone keeping track of stats, my PR card arrived eventually, a bit past the 60 days, likely 65-70. I know of two other people that got theirs roughly around the 40 day mark, so the 60 day is likely an average number.

    What options do you select when you call, the same one you did for PR application? I could not select an application that started with an R. The file shows it was updated yesterday but how do I know if they need a new address?

    Depression

    We must have been lucky. Apparently my wife was supposed to have left the US once her TN visa ended but she stayed for at least half a month. The officer was pissed she did not leave but they didn't ding her record as she has visited the US again with no problems..

    PR and TRV immediate help please- 7 months pregnant!

    I did not suggest or imply taking advantage of it, merely considering settling initially in a different province. Many parents to be mis-calculate the financial requirements involved in bringing a child into the world and what comes after. While costs are relatively low when the child falls...

    PR and TRV immediate help please- 7 months pregnant!

    True but never exclude the possibility of having to go to a hospital if the need arises. May be wise to consider picking a nicer province that caters to pregnant women.
