hey all, i see the topic now is AIP and what you can do with it..

if anyone can tell me what exactly I am entitled to with my AIP I live in Ontario

Ohip, sin, credit card??

thanks for your response

Hi there!
Regarding a credit card... I was surprised when I went to the bank to open a normal savings account. The lady offered me a credit card too! I explained to her that I do not have permanent residence thus not having an income at the moment. She said its fine, they will help me to build up a credit rating by approving a $1000 credit card! So I'd say it is worth a try if you don't have one yet? Also, by getting one you have an extra piece of ID!

I also did my Ontario G-License, so that's also an extra ID. I was told when I arrived in Canada that you can't get a driver's license without permanent residence, so if anyone out there is still wondering...you can get an Ontario driver's license without PR and believe it or not...even a credit card!

Good luck to all, hope we see some more AIP's and 2nd stages!!!

You are almost entitled to anything with AIP that a full PR is. The difference is with AIP you face some contingencies/temporary tiles until you are issued full PR status. they are the following all contingent to your PR status. with AIP, you can do:

-school (in resident fees)
-work as you can apply for open work permit
-credit card
-bank
-driver's license
-provincial health care
-SIN

Does that apply also to Quebec as I had asked SAAQ and they told me AIP was NOT a valid status for getting a permit transfert and I needed to wait my wife gets PR ?

You should keep checking both yours and your husbands. I just got my AIP a few days ago.

On my ecas it just said they started processing my file, but when I checked my husbands it said they had mailed out a letter to both of us.

So definitely keep checking both!

My date was AUGUST 23rd. So you should definitely be close! Any day!

Hey,

Thanks for the motivation.. The problem is my husbands ECAS stopped working all of sudden a month back, We are not able to log on to his ECAS I dont know what is the problem.

And my Ecas just shows the date they received my application.

Just correcting you... You cannot go to school with resident fees, at least here in Edmonton I asked and they said I have to wait until I'm a landed immigrant, AIP won't work (I have AIP btw)
You can apply for work permit but you get a temporary SIN, it's not the one you will have for the rest of your life.

Bank, credit card and drivers license you can apply before your AIP as long as you have a legal status, I know because I did!

Health care in ALberta you can apply anytime as long as you have a visa valid for over a year... After AIP you can in any province I believe...

Just making things more clear!
