ok thank you for clarifying that is very helpful!

OK Thank you. I have checked out the link you sent and it also says that you can claim after 12 months of registering with Service Canada, maybe this is for self-employed only. I am pretty sure that when I applied for residency my partner had to sign saying that he would pay any benefits back if...

OK. I would be self-employed though and the only information I could find gave examples for people in different professions who all signed up at least 12 months prior to starting a family. I am still not clear as to what benefits PRs are not eligible for. Can you clarify?

Hi I have heard the same thing about Edmonton as the previous poster, more blue collar, more white collar in Calgary. The head offices in Calgary attract a lot of people, the population is more transient apparently, people coming to make money. There is a lot of money in Calgary, rents are...

Ok that's interesting. I assumed that everything that is called a benefit was included in the no claims benefts for PR. What are the benefits that can't be claimed for then? I read up a bit online and it looks like to get EI or Maternity insurance you have to sign up a year in advance. Do you...

Hi, As a new resident I am not sure if maternity benefits and/or child benefits would not be applicable for the initial 3 years as a resident - or is this just employment benefits? Thank you.

Hi could you update the spreadsheet for my ECAS decision made date 5th July, destination, Calgary, Alberta. I was not given an 'in process' update or asked to attend for interview or for my passport. Thank you.

After requesting more information the London Visa Office apparently approved my PR Application before receiving it! I picked up the COPR from the post office today. It is valid for six months. So 7 months after applying is not bad. Good luck everyone still waiting.

Hi, Just wanted to add something for the spreadsheet, I received a request for information from the Visa office on June 17th. I was given 30 days to respond. It is for an updated police certificate, addresses and personal history going back to 18 years, not just the last 10 years and also an...

I sent off forms mid-december 2013 but the police form is dated 1/11/2013. I thought they didn't want the certificate to be older than six months when you apply. Seems odd to have to go through another application now. I am hoping I can just update the old one with new address and I don't have...

HI, This morning I received an email asking for a copy of our marriage certificate, an updated police certificate as mine is 6 months old now and additional information on the background declaration. This I think is routine. On the original form I put addresses and personal history going back...

OK thanks for your help. Thanks everyone.

Thanks. I have sent pr application and hopefully timed to come through before the six months is up. I have return ticket and letter saying I have a permanent residence in the uk and bank statements showing funds in uk. I'm a full time mum so don't have a job but can work self employed in the uk...

OK thanks yes I agree it is all in the wording and we will work on it before we leave to get the story straight but it won't go as far as overstaying that's for sure!

Thanks for the link. Does he also need a form E24? I found this as well. Things are getting a bit clearer now. Are you saying I need to have ties in the us if I store the stuff there? I have a list if the items being shipped and although obviously we are a family and some of the items are for...

Also how does this fit with asking for a visitor record for longer than six months? I have been advised this is possible if you say you have applied for pr.I'm a bit confused.

Thanks. I will get the shipment put in his name. I think that will help. I will not mention dual intent unless questioned. I have a return ticket to show to immigration. We are bringing the usual baggage allowance with one extra bag. Just clothes and shoes and a few items for my son. Its a...

Hi any information resources on this would be appreciated. Basically the situation is I am applying for pr married to Canadian citizen who is sponsoring me. We are shipping items to Canada which we need to declare on entry along with baggage Shipment is in my name. There are different rules for...

well actually I'm going to be a full time mother when I get to Canada. But I am qualified in a therapy that I could offer on a voluntary basis at a charity organisation, or hospital if they were open to that. I did a similar thing in the UK when I was just starting out with my business. So it...

ok thanks. that is good news. do you know what the time limit is?
