hey there, i have a question and i hope someone could help me...if we apply outland can i get Visa or case number before i get my PR ?

After you apply outland from the day your application will be recieved untill the day you are approved as a sponsor (3 months delay) you will get a client ID number and with this numeber you will check your status on ecas. Passport request cames later when your file its at the end of processing time...(6 months to 24 months of delay, for each country its differrent).

can i get healthcare with this client ID ?? thank you so much, i do really appreciate your help..I'm in Canada on visitor visa now

 

[I.N]

No you can't, if you are not permanent resident you are not able to have heath care service.

Client ID number its just your file application number.

so sad though, so there is no way i can get healthcare ??

 

[I.N]

Sorry, I do not know how you can get health care.
But being on a visitor visa in Canada you must have a medical asurance, but for sure its just the minimum necessary, sorry,I don't really know nothing about.

You should look into travel insurance. I've used Manulife and Blue Cross Canada personally. Never filed a claim with Manulife, but did with BCC. They only reimburse up to what the government would pay for treatment of a resident, and for places where doctors can charge visitors anything, you're left paying the sizable difference. Also, remember that after you get permanent residency, there will be a ~3 month delay after applying for health care before it is effective.

I use my Husbands family doctor, I have high blood pressure so I MUST see a doctor... I pay $31.95 for my visit. stay away from walk-in clinics ($100.00 before you even see a doctor) and hospitals (whatever they want to charge) unless of course you are dying but for everyday medical care it isn't hard to find a doctor who will see you for cash payments... and not rip you off, in the US you would never get a doctors visit for under $50.00 for 15 mins... and good thing is once I do have my PR I won't have to look for a doctor all I will have to do is give the office my healthcare information and see him as usual.
