Congrats.Hi everyone...
First I want to say thanks to everybody that share information on this page, its really helpful.
I applied by myself to Sponsorship and when I did I was a visitor here, I did not know I was supposed to renew my status in Canada since I was applying for PR under the sponsorship class.
Today I got a letter that I believe it’s the AIP letter, and I want to know from you guys if its possible to apply for a Work permit and OHIP since I don’t have legal status in Canada.
Thank you guys so much.
The letter will state you can apply for a work permit or to study. It will literally state "You are eligible to apply for Permanent Residence". If so, take it to ServiceOntario to apply for OHIP. Also, You can apply for an OWP (but it may not be worth while, as it will take 4 months to get it -- and you may land before then). For help on the OWP, check the link in my signature.
