Hi, I was just at a walk in clinic in Toronto so I thought I would share with you, the only thing I found that may be applicable to you: prenatal consult - $150. I remember inquiring way back when I wasn't covered, I was looking for a birth control prescription and I was told that just to go...

For me, all emails. The only time I got a physical snail mail letter from them was for my OWP.

He will only be able to apply for OWP if he applies inland as your spouse/common law partner, since you are no longer a foriegn skilled worker, you are a PR. If he is not with you, he will have to move to canada to be with you as OWP is ONLY for inland applicants. Outland applicants do not...

Police certificate, I do personally know someone whose application was HEAVILY delayed because additional police certificate was requested, so know that you should try and get on it ASAP. If you want to double check, sure give them a call, but I wouldn't expect this to be a request by mistake...

If you decide to get your own translation done (uncertified), the embassy can stamp it official if you have the original document with you. If you don't have the original document with you, you can find an independent certified translator. I found this person through the recommendation from...

That sounds like a lot!! Which city are you in?? Have you done medical already? If you haven't, I guess you don't have to wait for them to request (but I would look in to cheaper option). If you have submitted it once already and are concerned about it being expired, I would wait for them to...

I'm sorry this happened to you, but do keep us posted on what happens. I know CIC is hard to reach, but I wouldn't say impossible... I would keep calling until you get a hold of someone and explain your situation. As someone who went through this painful process, I wouldn't want to go through...

I've seen few people on this forum who were not asked for a medical redo and went on to get DM, so it's definitely case by case. I wasn't one of the lucky few, and my medical redo request came after I got my AIP.

My one last timeline update. BECAUSE I JUST GOT MY PR CARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD !!!! January 2014, submitted my application with medical and background and OWP application May 2014, AOR June 2014, they needed more info on my schedule A January 2015, received my OWP through pilot program June 2015...

She should be okay to stay. I remember seeing a few posts on this forum about an OWP holder who withdrew their application, and also an OWP holder who got denied their PR, and they didn't have their OWPs taken away. I believe one lawyer even suggested that while CIC MAY take the OWP away...

Congrats! Yes, you can get OHIP with AIP. Go to Service Ontario with the proof and you should be covered by the time you walk out. The card itself should arrive in mail few weeks later. OWP, I got mine in a little less than 4 months, paper should be a little faster than online...

I think visiting you is a good enough reason? I've written multiple invitation letters while living here ranging from "just visiting" to "attend my graduation" and never had issues. When my partner wrote me an invitation letter it was "just to visit" and i got my visa no problem as well. You can...

I think for once you can rely on the answers you got from the call centre agent, my MP told me the same thing. If it's valid through June, she should most likely land before that. I got my landing appointment (Etobicoke) just a week after I got my DM, so hopefully it's not too far away for you...

Sorry, just going to jump in here, I do feel terrible for you. You unfortunately won't be able to get OWP because having a valid status is one of the requirement to apply for OWP under the extended pilot program. Otherwise you'll have to wait until AIP, and since you don't have your AOR yet...

1 to 5 weeks, based on this forum.

Of course AIP means something! Before the pilot program, getting an AIP was when you can start working, and in some provinces, when you can start getting health coverage. If these two don't apply to you, you still have reasons to celebrate because it means that people are (although super slowly)...

Congratulations! I think it would be okay. There were a lot of kids of all ages at my landing interview. Congrats again, and I love it that your first thought on this was about your kids :D

Like Screech339 said, it shouldn't matter if it's expired, it's meant to verify the address, not the ability to drive. If you are really worried though, I read on the forum here that you can go to your bank and get your addresses verified there, take whatever document you can get from the bank...

I highly suggest that you pick up your phone, because that's how I got my DM. The first call I got was them checking to see if I have done my second medical, and this was when we found out my medical was lost. This led them to look at my file closer which led to them finding my second medical...

I understand that some countries don't allow passport renewal (my home country is like that as well), but what if you report it lost and get a new passport? I know we want to think that it's fine since you'll probably get approved before the 18 month mark, but there's always that fear that your...
