Thread for outland Buffalo applicants!

I also found that weird upon reading this as it seems that Ontario at least doesn't give OHIP to those with a 12 month visitor record. I will have to share your sentiment that I would be a bit peeved if my province was giving OHIP to visitors who didn't pay into the system. Certainly so if I have to wait 90 days before I can get it as a permanent resident myself.

But that's Ontario, and admittedly, if I was heading to Alberta, and I knew that I could get a health card with a 12 month visitor record, well shoot! I sure would've applied for it. Who am I kidding here?

However, as I currently stand, I have no coverage here, but I do have coverage back in the States. I'm still waiting on my SIN card, even!

Have you gone and signed up for the Alberta health coverage yet? I too find it odd that they would allow someone who is only a visitor to sign up, since it is draining resources from tax-paying citizens. Personally, if I were living and working in Alberta I'd be pretty pissed to find out that my hard-earned tax dollars were going towards the health care of a tourist, but I'm stingy like that. : I hope for your sake they do accept your visitor record and let you get coverage.

That said, if some provinces allow extended visitors to get provincial health coverage, why is the federal government demanding private health insurance for parents and grandparents coming in under the super-visa? Shouldn't there be an exception for those coming to provinces where they would be allowed to get provincial coverage?

Well, as you can see from my signature, I got PPR shortly thereafter Email.....it's almost always by email.

So....what happened? I just got the same message today. Did you hear by email or letter? (or have you not heard?)

She got 'decision made' on her e-cas and shortly after that she received PPR.

So.. I decided to email Buffalo 3 days ago through their case-specific inquiry website since I have not yet received an AOR. I also wanted to tell them that my middle name is spelled wrong in both the sponsor approval letter and ECAS. Today, I got a reply saying: "Thank you for your enquiry. Your message has been forwarded to the processing team."

I understand that people usually get something along the line of "no further action is needed at this time...." Well, I didn't get that, only the short message I posted above. Is this a good sign that they would actually respond to me, or am I just getting antsy and reading too much into this??

LOL BEN!! ur hilarious! I just seen your little thing at the bottom of your post...my dog is 2 months 5 weeks & ....days old....super cute...at least something on this site can make me smile....

How is your case going?

Mine still says "app received" and "medicals have been received". The only other action that happened was disappearing of my address this morning and I only noticed it because I obsessively check my e-cas every day.

Our address is disappearing. Does it mean something good? We applied in August. The file was transferred to Buffalo early November.
Is it too early to expect something?
We paid our fees two to three weeks ago? May be they were updating that we paid landing fee and this is why our address is disappearing?

It's ok. Don't change it. You're Buffalo applicant and he's New Delhi, so I can distinguish you guys! Btw, I like Freddy Mercury.
