PASSPORT RECEIVED WITH STAMPED PR (IMMIGRANT) VISA

Hi All,

I picked up my PR Visa stamped Passports and COPR from VFS Nehru Place Delhi Today afternoon.. Yesterday I checked online and it was showing ready for collection. I submitted my Ppts on 29/12.. So, its just 7 working days to receive it after submission..
I am a 2172 applicant and my application was received at CIC on 8th May.. So, its exact 8 months... And offcourse validity is 1 year from the Medical date..

Also, I had 2 American Passports (for my Kids).. NDVO did not stamp any bias on it but had just sent COPR for them.. I was assuming that they don't need any visa to enter Canada but still I sent their passports.. Can any other applicant confirm if they have same experience if they have any US born kid.. and have received just COPR for them..

Thank you all for help, well wishes and suggestions thruout the journey of getting the PR Visa...

Congrats dear !!!!!

""""Re-posting"""
Hello friends,

In the PP request it says 2 recent photos,
- but in the detail specification there is no info like photo must be taken within 6 months or so.

Friends, who have got there PP back, could you please share about your photo details that you send to VO.

Do you guys took a new photo after PP request or send the recent photo that was taken within 6 months.

Your advise will be helpful for all others waiting for PP request.

I took new photos taken a month ago..

Dear experts,

Please help.
I am posting this here as I think that I will get expert opinion here.
My work experience :
Company 1 : 2.7 years
Company 2 : 4 years (Another company(Company 3) acquired this company when I had two years of experience here.
Now Company 2 does not exist.Only Company 3 exists)

1) How shall I take the reference letters and indicate my experience ?
2) Also,do we require the reference letters in the company letter pad.
3) Is it required to be signed by HR/ Manager ? Does a seniors letter suffice ?

MEDICAL SERVICES IN CANADA

Guys, here is all what you need to know about medical services in Canada

Medical services are available from hospitals, doctors and other health care providers. Persons without health insurance coverage are charged directly for these services. Insurance coverage for essential medical services is available to all Canadian citizens and permanent residents. Each person carries a personal health card which must be shown at the reception desk of the doctor or hospital. Each province has its own particular requirements to obtain a health insurance card so it is important to contact a provincial ministry of health office in the province you reside.

How do you get a health card?

You can apply for a health card at the provincial ministry of health office in your city. You will find the address in the provincial government listings in your telephone book. Take with you your birth certificate, Canada Immigration visa (Record of Landing) and passport. Some provinces also request further documentation showing your name and address and your signature.

All members of your family must have their own coverage. Take their documents with you, and ask the government officer for information about registering them.

Who is eligible to receive a health card?

Canadian citizens and permanent residents are eligible in all provinces. Certain persons in Canada for a temporary period of time (e.g., temporary workers, holders of a Minister's permit, foreign students, and refugees whose status has been confirmed by the Immigration Refugee Board) are also eligible in some provinces. Essential health care services are available to refugee claimants through the Interim Federal Health Program at Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

How soon are you eligible?

Permanent residents are eligible immediately, except in British Columbia, Ontario and New Brunswick where there is a three-month waiting period. Persons in Canada temporarily and holding Immigration Canada documentation (e.g., temporary workers, holders of a Minister's permit and foreign students) have different waiting periods, depending on the province. For more information, contact the provincial ministry of health.

Is your health card accepted throughout Canada?

For permanent residents, your health card is primarily for use in the province you live in. if you move to another province, reapply as soon as possible. There are waiting periods before you can be covered, although you are covered by the health plan of the province you left for a certain amount of time. If you are visiting another province, your card can be used in an emergency. Residents residing in a province for a temporary period should contact the provincial health insurance plan office in the province, of permanent residence for further clarification concerning their coverage throughout Canada.

How are medical services paid for?

Most medical services are paid for by various tax measures. Basic hospital charges and doctors' fees are covered. Two provinces charge premiums (British Columbia and Alberta). In general, insured services are provided on a prepaid basis, i.e. provincial plans pay the hospital or doctor directly for services they provide to eligible residents.

What medical services are NOT covered?

Provinces do not pay for services that are medically unnecessary, such as cosmetic surgery. Some provinces provide coverage for non-medical service coverage, such as prescription drugs and assistive devices. These may require a co-payment by the patient.

[Spartan2]

Hi Friends,

I have a questions for those who already got the VISA.

Several of us, including me, had to renew the passport during the process. Thus, when the passport is request we will send a new passport and not the ones we used for the application.

In this case, did you guy send a letter together with the new PP, informing about the renew?
If yes, could you please share a template example of the letter that you sent ?

Thanks a lot for the help!!
