Thank you both!

Dear all, With the grace of God, we were blessed with a baby 2 months back. We both are PR's and was looking out for help on resources if we can apply for both the passports for my baby. Someone mentioned to me that it is possible and the child will have an option to relinquish one at the age...

Dear all, Me and my wife gave birth to a baby girl. We came here as Permanent Residents a few months back. We are renting out a condo for the moment. While registering for the newborn, the form asks for a permanent address for both the parents. Should we give our current Canadian address or...

Hi all, Although I'm covered with OIHP, may I know from where I can buy private insurance (not covered under OIHP)? I'm a newcomer and still not employed, so I'm looking to buy insurance as an individual. Which are the best private insurance companies? Also, is it possible to get coverage...

Hey, thanks for the clarification. I thought it is something equivalent to employed people getting EI when they get out of the job or normal residents getting the COVID benefit. Since I was not eligible for the latter, I thought this is for someone who's new without any job. I couldn't find much...

Hello, I'm a newcomer and looking for a job. I do not have any income and am surviving from my savings. One of my settlement agencies suggested I fill for Ontario WOrks, and I did. I received an email asking for all bank account details for the last 2 months. Do I also have to share my home...

Thanks. Yes, I will be showing my current address. But do they require both the proofs - Bank account and Rental to be in the same address? Should I initiate the change of address for my bank account?

Hi all, I plan to apply for OIHP right after my quarantine. I did a soft landing couple of years back and therefore my bank address has my friends address kn Toronto. I'm not shifting to Brampton and the lease agreement has my name and brampton address. Could you let me know if OIHP can...

Hey thanks. I'm traveling today, so I will pray for the best. Why do you say there will be no coverage? A few insurance companies do offer till 8th month. OIHP should be fine after quarantine ?

Dear all, Could you kindly suggest me insurance for my wife. She's 7th month pregnant. And we need to do 15 days of quarantine followed by an application for OIHP (before it kicks in). Kindly suggest the best insurance companies from whom I can take the policy?

I am highly obliged for you all to pitch in and help me out. This service that you do to fellow boarders is so useful for us. After reading your comments, I think I'll need to look out for a Condo with Den (mostly) or a 2 bedroom apartment.

Thanks so much. I came to know that there is a common laundry for apartments. Hence, I was not keen to look for them. You have some good points. This was very helpful.

Thanks. I was looking at exactly these kinds of places - Tennis, pool, gym but unfortunately it is out of my budget : (

I have no words to thank you for your courtesy to take out time and reply in detail. This is extremely helpful. Thank You.

Thank you so much. So which means 1.I will have to book a taxi everytime I need to go to a hospital. Hence I should look something in Downtown. 2.And Tennis courts are not common in GTA in societies (Condo + den range of 2200/per month). Else I need to pay more for clubs, which I won't feel...

I am so much thankful for you taking out time to reply to me. I will be saving this for my reference. If suburbs - which ones have all these facilities? I'm ok to live in Brampton as I have a distant family support there. Else I believe Etobicoke and Mississauga.

Thanks a lot for this suggestion. This is very helpful! Sure I will consider both 1 and 2 bedrooms. My search shows Tennis courts in High Park. Is it free to play, any idea? Also any societies that you know which have tennis courts is at a walkable distance to Trains and hospitals.

Thank you so much for taking out time to reply. As jobs will be primarily in Ontario and we want to utilise OIHP, hence landing in Toronto/GTA. Would have loved Vancouver otherwise. I'm little disappointed that Tennis is not accessible easily there.

Thank You so much. Would you suggest the best areas as I'm looking for a comfortable home with least hassles. I've been searching for jobs for the last few months. Even connected with a lot of people on LinkedIn but couldn't get a call until now. I have 13 years of experience in Global equity...

What do you advise for the first 6 months, as I except to take that amount of time before I get a job? What should be my approach? Thanks so much!
