Landed August 1st! Thank you to everyone on this forum and good luck to all :)

I'm not totally clear on the difference myself but we are crossing the border August 1st so I'll let you know. My husband called the border control to ask a few questions and he said they were really nice.

Thanks! So even though my kids are considered "settlers" because they are Canadian citizens my husband can list their belongings under his B4 form? I thought maybe my belongings might be taxed since I am a returning Canadian.

Hello, I'm hoping that someone can clarify a few things for me. My husband (American) and myself (Canadian citizen) plus our two boys (American born with proof of Canadian citizenship) will be moving back to Ontario. I am in the midst of filling out the B4 and B4A forms. My questions: (1)...

Thanks for your reply Steevy. Do you know if different doctors can charge different rates? I've read in the forum that some people paid $30-50 for a visit where as I was charged $100 at a walk-in clinic. I should have been more clear in my second question. When I wrote GAP insurance I just...

Hello, My family and I are landing in Toronto August/September 2014 and are trying to figure out which company offers the best private medical insurance. On a previous trip to Toronto I took out "visitor to Canada insurance" for myself and our two boys from CAA. One ear infection later cost...

I am in the same boat. So once you "land" you go to OHIP and fill out paperwork and then wait the 3 months for your OHIP card OR do you go into OHIP 3 months after you have arrived and fill the paperwork out then? Thanks!

You've been so helpful. My family really appreciates your advice. THANK YOU.

Thank you so much for answering so quickly. (1) Once he lands in August do you know if we will be able to apply for a SIN card right away? (2) Can we also apply for OHIP or is that not allowed until we move all of our belongings?

My husband (American) and I are planning to go to Toronto in August to start looking for a place to live. We will not be able to officially move until October. (Our COPR is valid until November.) My questions are: (1) Can he land in Toronto in August before we begin moving all of our...

Got CPR in the mail!!! Letter says date issued was July 04, 2014 :)

I did as Screech suggested and only had pictures taken for my husband who is American. My kids are both American born but do have proof of their Canadian citizenship. Hope this helps!

Hi all, Just wanted to post this as it might help some of you out there. My husband and I got his FBI Clearance letter from what is called a "third-party" channeler to expedite the process. At the time we didn't know that this is what they are called. We paid a little extra money to expedite...

Big congrats Saneth!! And thank you for responding to my question about FBI processing times :) Could you just confirm for me the "cover letter" link? Is it https://forms.fbi.gov/identity-history-summary-checks-review/q384893984839334.pdf ? They refer to the FBI clearance as Identity History...

Hello all, My husband and I just heard that his interview phase has been waived (yay) but they are requesting that we apply for an FBI clearance directly from the FBI. Unfortunately, we got my husband's FBI Clearance through a "third-party channeler" because we were told that they had faster...

Way to go Osdamour! Congrats!!

For those of you planning on moving to Ontario, have any of you looked into private health insurance for the 3 month waiting period before OHIP kicks in? I posted on the health forum to see if anyone has done a comparison of various providers but no answer so far. Before I start doing...

Hello, Can someone please let me know where I can find a comparison of all of the private health care plans that provide health coverage for the 3 month interim in Ontario while waiting for OHIP to begin? I'm sure there are older posts but I can't seem to find any. I want to compare more well...

Hi everyone! We just received an email with our Sponsorship Approval! Osdamour, can you please update? Thank you and good luck to everyone!

Thank you. I will look up Diversity Midwives and contact them. I didn't think that insurance companies would be allowed to deny coverage in Canada if you are pregnant. I'm surprised about that. If anyone has been pregnant and moved to Ontario prior to OHIP coverage please send me info on...
