    Confusion about PR Obligations

    Hello, I have a few questions regarding PR obligations as well and I very much appreciate your feedback. My scenario is that I am a US citizen that officially landed Oct 31, 2016 in Ontario as a PR. Since that date, I have spent 259 days physically in Canada. I read on the Canadian government...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    Thank you for your response. :) I was successful in obtaining my OHIP card in January and it was then that I read over the rules which state the 153 day rule I mentioned, see 2nd sentence of 2nd section under "AND": http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/publications/ohip/ohip_eligibility.aspx...

    OHIP

    Is the date I established residence considered the same as my landing date/day I became a PR? The reason I ask is that I see on the OHIP rules that I must be in Ontario 153 of the 1st 183 days immediately following the date I established residence. I landed, became a PR on Oct 31, 2016, and I...

    Thank you! May I go on and sign up for healthcare benefits now or must I wait until the official PR card arrives? I read that it takes 3 months to be eleiglble for healthcare so I'm wondering if I can register now and have the process started. Thanks again!

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    My spouse & I submitted the SA & Outland PR applications together. I had not received my FBI clearance check at the time we mailed our apps in but I did include where the FBI had charged my credit card the $18 fee. I'm hoping to receive the FBI check any day now. My question is, since I don't...

    US outland applicants' thread :)

    My application was returned today. They noted that because my IMM0088 requested mail and other correspondence go to an address (in Ontario) other than my residence (in the USA), I would have to assign a representative using the 5476 form. I completed that form and assigned my spouse, who is a...

    Thank you! Please tell me, is it correct to place the barcode pages (4 & 5) of form IMM 0008, a 6 page form, at the front of the form? Is this also the same for the sponsor's IMM 1344, to place the barcode page at the front of the form? Lastly, we intend to mail the Sponsor App & Outland PR...

    I'm a US citizen, married to a Canadian citizen, submitting an Outland app for permanent residency. Can anyone tell me how/where they submitted their two photographs (the ones specified in Appendix B)? I see on inland apps to staple them in a small envelope to form IMM 5669. Since the same IMM...

    Medical Report Form IMM 1017

    My upfront medical exam (for my outland permanent resident app - I'm a US citizen) is Monday morning in Toronto. Because this is the upfront exam, I don't have a form to provide the doctor. I've searched online and only see the IMM 1017 B discussed but it's not posted online. Am I correct in...

    From what I'm reading, entire application packets are returned, is that true? Our entire packet was NOT returned, ONLY a form (4 pages) that was accidentally completed (IMM0008 Schedule 10 Sponsorship Under a Public Policy). Obviously that form is not applicable. Could it be that they just...

    Yes, that's what I did - my official residence/address is in the US but I mailed the app from Canada. We did not use a Representative but I did include the form & noted that we did not use a representative on the form. So the Canadian government considers the USA an "overseas" country? That...

    Would it be possible that the Mississauga office disregarded my app because it was mailed from Ontario and not the US? Our Ontario address was put on the return address, not my US address. Do you think those factors alone would effect them telling me they only accept overseas applications? And...
