INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

Hi,

Yes you can...I got my drivers license in edmonton based on my visitor record and marriage certificate. I exchanged my US drivers license for Alberta license and you have to make sure that your visitor record is valid for 6 months at least.

However, not all registries know about this. Luckily, the second registry I tried, gave me the drivers license valid for 1 year.

Line,

Can one get a driver's license on a visitor visa in Alberta, provided they prove that they are legally married to an Alberta resident, just like a heath card..............

I was able to get Alberta healthcare card based on my marriage license............You need to go to your local registry and present your marriage license, a valid visitor visa and your spouse's healthcare card. They will send you a Alberta healthcard (valid until your current visa).

We are only common-law so i doubt we have enough proof yet, but once i receive the AIP email i'll be going to the registry instantly

Im a Calgarian also (SW).. but only for a week longer. We move to Fernie next week as it was either Fernie or giving up! My partner is away all the time for work now, which I would be also if I had my work visa. So I plan to snowboard the time away. The only way I can keep some sanity. Im just hoping my visa comes though soon so I can go back to work with him.

That is exactly what we are waiting for.... fingers crosssed I just checked the CIC on Friday and they updated the processing time for step 2 to 11 months from 8 months... that's the frusterating part because we have already waited for 20 months before we received our AIP and now this... though I was told by the CIC that they normally take max 4-6 months to process the stage 2 and send us landing interviews to come take our PR letters. so I hope that my husband gets his by January or February... I was hoping the CIC will surprise us in January too as i'm due in January for my 2nd baby too.... fingers crossed.....
