INLAND APPLICATIONS 2010

[MexicaTica]

Awww. Thanks Love-young and Asta. ..
I have a question. has any of you decided what you will do when you receive your OWP if you have applied for them?. Do you have any experience in any field?. college education etc?
i think for me i want to go back to school when i receive my PR card. Not too sure what i wanna do once i receive my oWP. i just applied for it because i want the flexibility of being able to work if i wanted to and prob save some money and pay some bills

Hi Black-Berry,

I think I am going to try to find a job. My husband has been so great about being the only one working that I really want to help out. I have some doubts about finding something I really love here so I know I will have to be open minded and broaden my scope when I begin job-hunting. It is actually a bit frightening to go back to work after having a year and a half off...

MexicaTica, My husbands been really awesome too. I started a new thread abt it . we were able to save some money a year prior. so i can say ive been "comfortable". we managed to build our "dream home" in an area we liked and i guess thats been keeping me busy. ive also managed to rack up a credit card and now need to pay it off. Being a fry cook will prob suffice for now as well until i decide what i wanna study..
i know what you mean about getting back top work ! Eekk!. Im used to waking up at ten am everyday!..

I made a table chart for all the people have posted about applying inland for this year.
Please let me know if I need to correct anything.

awesome! Love_Young your are great!
BTW, no news since March...my application is still IN PROCESS...

 

[Love_Young]

You all are sweet and you are welcome. I promise I will make a better one that you can read easier.
Just care about you guys and already feel like family. :-* I hope we can all keep up with each other even after we land.

Black-Berry that is a good question. I mostly applied for one for the same reason. And since I am only 20 and met my husband at 18, I didn't have but like 1 month of working experience but a lot of volunteering. I think it will be an adjustment for me but I am excited. I mostly applied just to help hubby pay off the bills and be more stabilized. I have no idea where I will work but I may have a job lined up with my MIL's boss with homecare. And it pays about $12-14 an hour. But if I have to work at McDonald's or Timmy's then I will settle for that as well. Then I plan to start saving for school. I plan to be a paramedic. That was what I was going to do before my hubby came into my life. Lol.

I also plan to work a few more hours than my husband just so he can focus on his health more and live longer. We also plan to save money for in-vitro since my husband's disease causes him to be infertile but he is still able to have children just no without assistance. So after this battle we have another tough one ahead of us. I can't figure out which is more difficult. Going through in vitro with all the cost and knowing you may not be able to produce a child. Or going through the struggles of immigration. Ugh...life...don't you just love it? Lol.

But we get through what we have to. Right now our plans are as follows:
1. Get our own apartment
2. I get a job
3. I save up for school
4. Hubby applies for scholarship that he can get for his disease
5. Both of us get an education
6. Save up for a home
7. Buy a home
8. Save up for in-vitro (thank goodness it is cheaper in Canada)
9. Have a child
10. Live happily ever after!

Here is to hoping all of our lives encounter no problems from here on out and that we live how we want with our loved ones forever.

Love Young, thats a sweet plan wish all the best health for ur husband.
Paramedic is a great profession, well any profession where taking care of people is great. my hubby is personal support worker at Red Cross. i couldnt work in such field, cause dont like doctors since my childhood lol ahh seeing needle makes me dizzy :-X
so firstly im planning to get a job, most likely any job to get some savings. school would be nice later, right now i want to help hubby with our income. we too need to get our own place to live, staying with inlaws right now. great that u made savings, not like us :-X but at least im helping my hubby with paying of small debts like visa etc, since hes not very into finances
i actually have university bachelor diploma but i doubt employers would except it here. since im from small country in East Europe, they might not acknowledge it. so i might feel like with no higher education.
im gonna apply for OWP when/if i get AIP. i didnt know back then that i can send OWP request with application together from the start..
well good luck to everybody! :-*

Things sometime happen for a reason, though.

Hi fellow Inlanders...I just sent my application for Inland two days ago....I know the processing time has been slow, so i am hoping to watch your timelines in hopes it will give me an idea just how long it will take. Hopefully now that students are back in school things will speed up! Best of Luck!

Quick story about me...my common law partner sponsored me...we have been together living in Montreal for 14 months and travelled prior to that for one year. Our application documented all of our great adventures and included joint lease, bank accounts, and a bunch of letters from family and friends!

It is nice to have the application off my table and in someone else's hands, but scary since it is not longer in my control. I'd love to hear other stories

You seem to be pretty level-headed . I wish you all the best in all you do. You are still really young so youn have the whole world ahead of you!. You also sound like someone i would normally be friends with ..
DO you mind me asking what your husband is suffering from?. Healthcare in Canada is def the way to go. I wsh i coud do healthcare but im waaayyyyyy too sensitive for that hahahahaha..

Love Young, thats a sweet plan wish all the best health for ur husband.

The only way we are able to be comfortable now is because we KNEW for twio years that we would move to canada. I read and re-read and studied the entire process. I researched and did research about how long it would take for me to be jobless. i left a VERY good job back home a 10.00 to 5.00 job that paid me extremely well . i lived on a beautiful island with gorgoues weather . So i had to make sure i am making the right decision. It took me a years savings. I cancelled all my bills for a year. lived like a poor person. made no trips for me to save enough . It was HARD!. But i decided INLAND was my best option regardless of all. I cant stand separation. we did teh long distance thing and OMG it was heart wrenching to be apart!..

Sux that many places in canada dont recognise the european education!. All the best to you too.

Btw there is an INLANDERS thread aside from this one incase you wanna peruse through it. You may find useful information there in regards to timelines..

[Teriskier]

I am here on a Study Permit. I moved to Quebec a little more than a year ago, initially did a French immersion program (which was coupled with a work placement which was nice). But decided it I really wanted to jump start my career as a PR of Canada getting an education at a Canadian University would be beneficial. Sadly I am paying international student fees...but if my PR comes through before the end of the year I can be reimbursed those fees.

I love it here so much (and obviously love my partner a ton too). We met while working in the Caribbean and had to make sure our relationship wasn't working because of the beautiful surroundings...but I have been in Montreal permanently since August 30th 2009 and wea re still going strong...it will be fantastic to not have to live under temporary status anymore and benefit from everything this country has to offer!

Best of luck to everyone out there! Keep me updated with your timelines! How many days did it take before Vegreville acknowledged the receipt of your applications.

One last question...I know the topic has been discussed previously, I am planning on traveling to the US (where I am from) during the month of November, what are the chanced of me having trouble at the border?

Thanks for the advice.

i say chances are 50/50. depends what person u will get to at the boarder.
im afraid to risk, so i missed my brother's wedding this year, also my first niece is coming to this world in a month +, and im missing that too.


@Black-Berry, me and hubby had 4 years long distance relationship so i know how hard it is :-X
