Hello, I sent PR application to Vegreville in late January bundled together with a visa extension. After reading some posts on this site I should probably have sent the PR application together with an Open Work Permit application instead because the OWP is a de-facto visa extension. Oh well, could have saved a bit of cash.

Status from eCAS:

Permanent Residence
We received your application for permanent residence on January 31, 2011.
We started processing your application on March 9, 2011.

Thanks Angtao! I promise I'll keep you guys informed. I called the inmigration office, and they said they cant give me the ID Client # until Septiember! ::) I guess there is nothing else I can do but wait now.
call again, they told me the same, and I got my number with another agent, who seemed more knowledgleable.... and willing to help....
 
Hi,

Can one get Health Cover with Open workpermit, while PR application is in process?

Thanks

Yes. But it also depends on the province you are in. Can you provide some details on that?

Yes you can Chau, you just have to go to a registry which accepts Alberta Health Applications/Renewals.
