Do Health Card, SIN Card and PR card have to match each other ?

Hi

I heard PR card is processed at port of first entry which in my case will be Toronto, over there i will have to give them an address - which will be a Toronto Address.

We will then take next flight to Calgury which will be our initial place of residence.

In calgury will register for AB health.

Later will move to Toronto for job, and will apply for SIN card in Toronto.

Is this scenario possible ?

Is it possible to register for AB health without first getting SIN from Calgury ? -- If we do get SIN from calgury will this be same all over canada or is it province specific ?

Thanks

Since you would be living in AB for at least six months, why don't you tell the immigration that you would provide the mailing address to them in AB later? You can inform them once you have an address in AB.

You need to have worked for 600 hours (around 4 months) before you will qualify for any maternity leave payments.

Within the last 12 months before trying to claim maternity leave. Read here for all the rules: http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/ei/faq/faq_special.shtml

I'm not sure about having a valid SIN to claim. Best to call and ask: http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/ei/contact/contact_us.shtml#Telephone
