thanks a lot. :)

thanks for the replies Leon and Zardos This was not a hypothetical question. I don't think they realized the implications of renewing and potentially leaving again (they are older and have a life in Greece that has been disrupted with everything that has been going on there, plus their children...

hey Happywife, congrats on getting your DM! It took about 2-3 weeks for my landing letter for Etobicoke to arrive after I got my DM. fingers crossed you'll find it in the mail soon! :)

Hi all, my landing is this coming Monday, and I am SO excited! :) I have another question though: my parents-in-law who are Canadian citizens have been out of the country for a while and had to apply for new OHIP cards. Their English is not the greatest, and when they came home they suggested...

Hey everyone, my parents-in-law just renewed their OHIP after having been out of the country for a number of years. Their English is not the best, so when they came home, they said they were told they CANNOT leave the country for the first 7 months after obtaining OHIP. Is that true? Or did...

Hehe well I doubt it's a "surprise", but that would be amazing :)). I'll be thinking of you while I land. Make sure to share pictures of the little one in January Rifat :)

Ohh.. I misread. It's rifat's "due date". for some reason I was in the landing-date mind frame ;) Congrats rifat. Only about a month to go :-D

Thanks Screech! :) still terribly excited to have gotten a landing date and to be 'green' ;) My landing date is on the 13th of January (not the 18th like it says on the time sheet). I'll make sure to take my expired SIN when I go. I'm always on the cautious side and bring way too much stuff LOL...

Etobicoke. The letter made it sound like it's possible. It said something "about for my convenience, Service Canada personnel will be at the interview to help you change your SIN". Yay :)

Make me green, Screech :))) We got our landing date letter in the mail today!! I'll officially be landing in Canada on Jan. 13th, 2014. Too bad I have to wait until the next year, but at least I have a date and I'm guessing with the holiday season time will just fly by anyway :)) Can I get a...

eek. That is a long waiting time for the landing letter. Sorry to hear so many people have been waiting months. :-S I thought the major wait was for AIP and DM. I wonder why they are delaying it so much... anyone have any ideas?

Saskia, although I don't think nationality has much to do with processing times, I'm crossing my fingers for you. Landing before Christmas would indeed be the best present this year :)

Congrats Alurra!!! :) I also got my DM on Nov 27! :) I have a few questions. They said the center in Etobicoke will contact me. Am I expecting a phone call or a letter? How long does it usually take before they contact you? And THEN, how much longer is it usually until you get to officially...

Congrats on getting AIP sunibaby! :) Welcome to the club of people waiting to hear about a final DM. Let's keep each other motivated and happy :)

Mine does not mention when medicals were received, but when I got my AIP email, there was no request for new medicals. Hmm. I THINK mine are still valid, but when I check our application status using my sponsors' info (using mine doesn't get me anywhere with ecas!), it says the same thing as...

congrats Sonja!! And I saw you only got your AIP on Oct. 17th? That makes all of us Oct. 28th AIPers VERY VERY excited :)))

Ah! LOL way to go hubby hesitating at all the wrong questions ;) thanks for the clarification yvr. Hope the papers come soon so you can get that new SIN (one that doesn't start with 9!!) :)

Congrats on officially landing yvr!! :) Quick question. what "3 questions" are you talking about?

Sounion, I'm German, so also visa-exempt, and I've never had any issues re-entering the country on study permits/temp. work permits etc. I may just apply for a new visitors visa before I leave just to be sure I can come back in. I would be incredibly frustrated to get so far in the sponsorship...

Random question someone may know the answer to: If I for some reason don't get my DM anytime soon (just got AIP today), but I get my OWP, am I legally allowed to leave and re-enter the country, even though my application is still processing, or will they give me a hard time upon re-entry? My...
