Very interesting points - thanks to all who have gotten involved. I think it's going to be a bit of a push to try and tie up in the UK by Feb / March and get out to BC 3 months before due date to ensure we are covered.......also, some of you are saying it can be difficult to get a midwife now...

Hi Thanks v much for your response. We landed in Nova Scotia, but are hoping to try out BC for a while and head to Vancouver. Do you, or does anyone else know, if there is a wait to get health insurance in BC, or if it's immediate? If I am heading out to have the baby, I would rent my house...

Hi, We officially landed in September 2010, and immediately went home to the UK to get our lives in order. I am now expecting a baby in June 2011. I have a few questions please: 1. If I go back to Canada and have the baby there, will the baby automatically have Canadian citizenship? 2. If I...

Thank You - we ended up getting the bank draft to be on the safe side!!

Thank You

Hi We are not staying in Canada this time around - simply visiting to complete the landing process in a few days. Please could you advise me if it is sufficient to show the IO a printed copy of our online bank statement to demonstrate funds? If not, is there any other way to satisfy this...

Hi, we are due to land in Halifax on Thursday, but we are only staying for 2 weeks on this occasion. Can I ask for my PR card to be sent to my home address in the UK? If not, will they accept my immigration lawyers address in Toronto? Many Thanks

Thanks - You have just confirmed what we think we already knew! Diane

Thanks for this info - that's really helpful. We are early thirties, married, no kids yet. One in IT, one in Facilities Management. We need to find decent paying jobs, but I don't want that to be the deciding factor on where we live - the whole reason for moving out is a better standard of...

I know - I'm a bit worried about it - the question is Country of Birth.....my husband's says Scotland....I'll probably call and try to speak with someone -if they both said England or GB I wouldn't have bothered. I don't want this to cause me a problem on landing after 4-5 years trying to get...

Thanks very much - that link put my mind at rest - thought I was going to have to pay for another flight into Toronto - thanks again. Hopefully someone can answer the query re Scotland / England place of birth Diane

Hi Wow Canada is such a big place, but we have narrowed down our destination to NS, and we think Halifax - could you point me to some good web-sites for newcomers - housing, jobs, local transport, recreation etc etc - most of what I can find are tourist sites and I want to know more about the...

Hi Has anyone recently landed and settled in Halifax or surrounding area and willing to share their experience? Thanks

Finally, received our Visa's from the London Office yesterday....however, Despite all other documents stating that I was born in Scotland, my Visa says in England......technically it's wrong, but it's still UK - does anyone think this will cause me a problem at the interview in immigration when...

All, We went for medicals on 4th Nov 2009, and received our request for passports on Friday 16th April. We have 60 days to send, and PR Visa expires on 4th November 2010 - ie 1 year from date of medicals. Hope that helps some people who may still be waiting and wondering as we were. Here's...

Thank You - you have answered all my queries. On Landing I won't be able to stay any longer than 3 weeks max due to work commitments. Once we move out to Canada I don't intend coming back to the UK except for the occasional holiday trip, so 2 years in every 5 won't be an issue!! Thanks Again Diane

Hi, Yesterday we were advised that our permanent visa was approved and were requested to send our passports to London. We have been given 1 year from the date of meds (4th Nov 2009) to enter Canada. I have a few questions please: 1. On landing, can I enter and then come back to the UK as we...

Thanks everyone for this information,

Hi I asked this question under the topic of 'financial and taxes' and have had no response......perhaps the board is more active here and someone can advise me... Is it possible to open a Canadian Bank Account from the UK, and does anyone have an opinion if this would be a good thing to do...
