Can you apply for coverage under your OWP even before you have a job? And if so, coverage begins immediately? I'm also in Manitoba, so this will be good for me to know (in a few months)!sounion said:
Yeah, I found that out when I called. Thankfully, MY OWP ARRIVED IN THE MAIL TODAY! !!! HUZZAH!screech339 said:
Thanks for the update on your OWP. Now I can update timesheet.sounion said:
Sorry, I'm just butting in to your conversation with Screech! What do you mean by 'retroactively cover you'? Perhaps a silly questions, but this is all a foreign language to me!sounion said:
I think what she meant is that manitoba health will start 1 month before your OWP visa date. I think that is what she meant.JLynn1987 said:
Are OWPs not dated for the day they are approved? Is there a waiting period between when you receive your OWP and when it is valid?screech339 said:
I would have thought you get coverage 3 months after OWP date. Not sure where sounion get the 1 month retroactive coverage. I would like to be enlighted by this info.JLynn1987 said:
Ha ha ha. Nice Rant there. Don't blame ya one bit.Alurra71 said:I am going completely bonkers here ...
We have a stupid stupid consultant (who is obviously an authorized representative), and now I am sitting here wondering if they are about useless and if they even know how to do their job ...
My hubby, as much as I love him, does NOT understand how I feel just sitting and waiting and waiting ...
I called the consultant a few weeks ago because I got my passport renewed, now with my married name and wanted to figure out what I should do next, do I snail mail it, so on and so forth, you folks may remember me asking that ...
Anyway, the woman's response from there: "Oh you should go ahead and find the address and mail them a copy of your new passport" .. I was like, wait, isn't that what we payed you fine folks for? but whatever, I took care of it myself, and in the process wanted to revoke their authorization, and hubby said don't bother ...
I know I am rambling here, but I just don't trust those folks. What if they haven't been doing their job all along and now an error will crop up with my application that I don't even know about?
I'm pessimistic, I know, I just can't get past the whole, you should mail them a copy, blah blah blah LOL It just does not inspire confidence ... *shrugs*
Hubby says I should just try to relax, but it's so hard to let it go when I see others on my same day getting what I really want to see too! LOL
I am happy for them, very very happy, but now I want my own happy ending
****end rant
sorry guys, just had to get it out, someone understands me here
. But recently i was totally under stress. After 11 months waiting time my husband finally got the following email from CIC on last Sunday:
Usually the applicant get an AIP email same time as the sponsor. However I am afraid you may be on the hook for delivery cost anyway. With the AIP letter even if you had it, and you applied today, you will not qualify for health coverage until 3 months from today's date. So unless the baby doesn't come out until you are 3 month overdue, I think you are expected to cover the bill.germanywing said:HI, guys, i am so glad to find this forum and congratulate everyone with good news
" You have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. The Application for Permanent
Residence will be processed separately and the applicant will hear from this office shortly........... "
As i learned in our forum, i should receive another email as well. But two days passed, i didn"t hear any news form CIC. Is it normal? Yesterday i called CIC call center four times. I was told that my application for the first stage was done. Now my application will move to the next stage. It is very normal that only my husband is able to receive the confirmation"s email. ??? ???
Now i really don"t know, how to handle this situation?? I am already pregnant for 9 month and my due date is in the next month. Without the AIP letter which is addressed to me i can not apply for the health insurance in Montreal. Does anyone have the same problem like me? Any advice would be appreciated.....sign...
