    Visa extension Question

    Question: On the application form it asks how long he is going to stay... Since we are hoping for a one year extension, can we put in 1 year? (Actually, of course, we are hoping he'll have his PR before that ... but you know how it is). Also, if I include a letter explaining that we are only...

    visitor visa extension

    I think a lot of us wish this - Ponga. I, however, did not know that this was an option and am now continually needing a visa extension for my husband.

    Visa extension Question

    THANKS. I got his UCI #. One more question: As he is waiting for PR, how should he fill in the question "funds available for my stay"... since his length of stay is going to be 'permanent' (hopefully at some point). ??

    Visa extension Question

    I guess, actually, it's my UCI as his sponsor. Which means he wouldn't be able to use that number, right?

    When my husband applies for his visa extension (still waiting on PR) can he use the UCI on the application from PR?

    Spousal sponsorship

    I can only help with the children passport part of this question: My daughter received her Canadian passport almost right after she was born. We applied for her citizenship card at the same time, but only got that like 6 months later. So, I think you should be able to apply for their...

    If for some reason you did return to the USA to give birth (tho from what I understand, it's just as expensive to give birth there), your baby is Canadian if your husband is Canadian. My first born was born in Brazil, but within days we had her Canadian passport and a few months later her...

    Have you booked her medical with a CIC approved clinic? The clinic where my husband had his done took his picture there. Call them and ask them what they need you to bring to the clinic and ask if they take the picture there.

    I completely understand the money issue (as most of us here do). I'm pregnant with second baby and only just began working. Hubby cannot work until he has OWP... so, I feel for you! I keep praying CIC will get their act together... but in the meantime, even if there is a bill in the end, you...

    In Ontario midwivery is provided FREE OF CHARGE even if you do not have OHIP. While I congratulate you on wanting to go without an epidural - it would be good to plan to have some extra money just in case you need to have one. I'm Canadian but gave birth last year in Brazil - thankfully had...

    See the CIC website, they have a list of approved doctors for this. If you go somewhere else, they will not accept the results. http://www.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx From the above link, just choose Canada, and then Alberta. A whole list of approved doctors will appear. Just call and book...

    HEALTH INSURANCE

    Good morning, Just curious what private health insurance companies people have used while waiting for OHIP? My husband currently has 'safevisit' but was wondering if there was something less expensive. We are currently buying 6 months at a time while we wait for the never ending PR process.

    I was married in Brazil - but in order for it to be recognized as legal (in Brazil) we had both a civil and religious ceremony. In Canada the Pastor can legalize the 'religious' ceremony. So, we don't actually have any documents from our religious ceremony, just the civil one that was done a...

    INLAND APPLICATIONS 2014

    From what I understand, BEFORE her TRV expires (about 30 days beforehand) she must apply for an extension. In the case of my husband, he was granted another 6 months - was hoping for a year so that we'd have OWP by then, but anyway. Also, if you cross the border to the USA, you risk having...

    My husband's visa extension will expire in October (and if all goes well, we 'll have AIP in January - fingers crossed!!). Anyway, since he'll be apply for OWP as soon as we get AIP, do we have to apply for another TRV extension for November and December? Or will he somehow have implied...
