INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

[shyla36]

To those, who are from Alberta, i hope you know (just a reminder) that you can be added as a dependent on your spouse AHIP as long as you have a valid document entry (work permit or visitors). So i highly suggest that if finances would permit, to extend your entry . Extension of Visitors visa will only cost you $75. I extended mine for 1 year and was granted. After i received my extension, i went to the health care and in 10 minutes was given my temporary AHIP and in 2 days got my health card. You also know, that your spouse's company insurance, if any, only applies for some coverage like hispitalization, only if you have the provincial coverage. This would definitely give us peace of mind for any unnecessary bills. Just my 2 cents worth,

Mine was less than 30 mins for the examination by the doctor. Not sure how your doctor works, but I had to go to 2 separate places for blood work and x-ray. In total, it took me 2 hours to drive around and get things done last week. (Please note that I live in Kingston, ON which is not a very big city)

Hello Everyone! Smiley
Years ago (15 to be exact) when I sponsored someone and we both lived in Ontario, we did not get a request for passports, we were just sent a letter to go to immigration office where they asked us a few simple questions and then received the landing documents at that time. I had no idea that was going to happen at that time. It also took a total of 3 months to complete the process from start to finish which is unheard of now a days.

My question now is do they now always request for passports if you are both in Canada? I believe we are now coming to an end to our journey " hopefully" and was curious if that is what will happen next, or will we possibly get a letter like I did years ago.

Hi JHWife,
i had to wait at the medicenter for almost 2 hours because apparently CIC is down -.- or maybe the clinic is just bad. (In Edmonton AB btw) doctor checkup itself took less than 10 mins (no joke) - she examined my breathing, asked me if i had cancer, tb etc. examined my tummy and send on my merry way to the xray and blood work. Total it took me 1.5-2 hrs not counting the ridiculous 2 hour wait time in the beginning. And i had to shell out $400

Where are you getting it done? I'd say budget for at least 1.5 to 2 hours. Although if you're at 9am maybe you'll be one of the first to be seen. The actual exam is super quick and the x-ray takes no time. It's just the waiting around that really adds to it.

lol, yes i agree we are not all the way there yet… To me Stage 1 is much more stressful as we were always worried about if we had sent enough proof in with our application etc. We applied Common Law and kept hearing many stories of people being asked to provide additional information to prove their cohabitation etc. It will also be nice to have the OWP in hand so that if for some reason (heaven forbid) my fiancée needs to leave the country at least he has a valid status document and not just "implied status".

Very true that part of the process is the most stressful...

Congrats to those now waiting for DM. I hope within the next few months that will be us too.
