I have to admit, your phrasing put me off. I love my wife fiercely and would go through just about anything to be with her. When you find the right person, that's all that matters, whether they live across the street or on the other side of the planet. Our story - we were both involved in a...

I've never heard of drug testing as a part of the immigration process, so yeah, unless criminality (arrested/convicted) then he should be ok. Maybe have a chat with him that when it comes time to land, that bringing any amount of illicit drugs could jeopardize everything...

Could be worse! Australia went from 11 to 14. Makes no sense.

Ugh - wait times for Sydney now 14 months.

How often and for how long have you been with her?

I've read some really bad opinions/advice on this site and held my tongue, but now you two have gone too far. The roll goes under, down the back! ;D

The 6 month "waiting period" you refer to is a residency requirement in a calendar year, not a waiting period. If you make your home in Manitoba for at least 6 months of a calendar year, you're OK. It's designed to stop otherwise covered people from living full time somewhere else and coming to...

OK, kianyaleszkovics here's what I would do. Call Manitoba Health, Healthy Living and Seniors at this number: 1-800-392-1207 Tell them how long you've been living in Manitoba, what date you got PR and ask if that makes you eligible for coverage immediately. I hope it does, but it definitely...

In Manitoba you must be a resident for 3 months before you are eligible for health care coverage. Your residency begins when you get your PR, so PR date plus 3 months is when you are covered. The time spent in the province as a visitor or on a work visa does not count. At the hospital where I...

If she *just* got PR, she doesn't have provincial health coverage. I just checked, Manitoba requires 3 months of PR first. Canadian hospitals tend not to turn away patients due to lack of coverage though. In the OP's shoes, I'd definitely have the baby in Canada. Keep in mind with the current...

Most provinces have a residency requirement of 3 months before you become eligible for health coverage. That's three months after you become a permanant resident, regardless of how long you've actually been in the province. The wait time for newborns is waived, however, as long as you can prove...

That's about what we paid for the medical, but that doesn't go to the CIC...

I used expresspost - same kind of situation. Out for delivery for an entire day until it was delivered a day after the promised date. I was able to fill out a form on their website and they evenutally sent me a cheque for the shipping cost.

Are you sure about that? Certainly if you don't list the dependent you will never be able to sponsor them. I haven't seen anything that says the same if you list them but can't do a medical.

Include a note explaining it. If possible, prove evidence (email, letters) that you tried but the child's mother refuses. I imagine this is a fairly common circumstance and is specifically mentioned in the CIC manual for it's agents.

Publicly threatening the life of a consular employee of the country you wish to immigrate to is not clever.

Sorry - you asked about cost. All told around $1,500 including medical exam. Not all of it has to be paid upfront, but if you wait for them to request payment it wil add time to the process.

Yes, he can theoretically visit for up to 6 months at a time. During a visit, though, he can not work and will not be eligible for any provincial health coverage. You can marry during that time, certainly. Now, I say theoretically because border guards can turn someone away at the border for...

Currently spousal approvals do not hinge on medical results. You can come to Canada under the spousal class regardless of medical condition.

LOL good catch on the thread/threat! One letter=big difference!
