    Filing Maternity/Parental EI when spouse has no SIN?

    Oh, I know that. He's not applying for anything at all. I'm trying to collect my maternity EI and Parental EI, which I do qualify for. We just can't share parental leave, which is fine and not what I was applying for anyway. In order to file Maternity EI, I have to enter his SIN which...

    Filing Maternity/Parental EI when spouse has no SIN?

    Hello, I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this. I've recently stopped work, I'm nine months pregnant, my husband is American and still a nonresident. He has no SIN. To apply for Maternity EI he has to have one, and 000000000 doesn't work as it does for taxes. I've been calling Service...

    We are! Outland for sure. He goes back to the US every once in a while, but he did overstay while I was pregnant/right after the baby was born. I'm sure that'll come up, but whatever. Time to get all this stuff out of the way!

    Could someone let me know it this seems right (with regard to checklist items I need for our application): Background info: husband is American, I live in BC, he's from Oregon. We were married in 2012 (relationship started in 2010), had a baby in 2014 (in Canada). Various things have delayed...

    Hello all, I have a group of fairly dumb questions. We've just started our paperwork and on the Sponsor Questionairre it asks for my mum's family name. Does this mean her maiden name (I'm assuming no, otherwise they'd specify) or her current last name? At the end, where you fill in previous...

    American spouse overstayed by 1.5 months - anxious about re-entry

    You are so helpful! Haha. You responded to my last post, I think. He has filled out and printed off all the paperwork he can right now, so he's going to bring that with him (some require my signature), he's made his appointment for fingerprinting and whatnot. The plan now is that his dad and...

    American spouse overstayed by 1.5 months - anxious about re-entry

    Hello! My husband overstayed in Canada by about a month and a half. He's American, I'm Canadian, we're (obviously) already married. We got married sooner (instead of next year) so we could start the immigration paperwork. He went back to the US so we could apply outland, but in order to do...

    Very interesting! We're going to look into that Point Roberts thing. I suggested he go to Port Angeles for lunch or something and try to come back. I'm always worried he'll be denied entry. I'm just one of those chronic worriers. He doesn't lease anywhere. He was on the lease with his...

    Okay, so he should go back ASAP. I just hope he can get back. We aren't married yet, though. Do you think it'd be wise to get married before he goes? Not a wedding (that would still be next year) just the license. Or would it be smarter to wait for him to come back (if he's able)? Sorry for...

    I live on Vancouver Island, he lives in Portland, OR, so the trip is long and fairly expensive for us (it's amazing how much a 1.5 hour ferry ride messes up your travel). So, if he leaves for a bit and comes back - do you think the odds are good he'll be allowed back in? He doesn't have a job...
