If finding an Exchange house is difficult then ur sure bet is your own Bank where u have an account in Kuwait . May turn out to be marginally costly, but then it is inevitable under the circumstances as you see!

Best Wishes,

Hi
My temporary worker visa is in process
Can anyone confirm if I can also apply for permanent residence as well.
What is recommended for application. Can I apply now or go canada first and apply for permanent residence from there.
Ultimate requirement is to get nationality at the end. Can we apply for nationality bases on temporary visa as well?

Hi guys, I just received my MR!! ;D however I have some queries, they are asking for an updated IM0008 wherein I have to provide my passport details. My passport will expire on June 2013. If God permits, if they will ask for PPR my passport will be most likely 6-8 mos valid. and I will need to renew it.

Will i be having problem with regards to the validity of my passport upon issuance of visa? should I renew my passport now?

Thanks

Congrats!
U'd've just one issue -- ur visa expiry will be 'linked' to the validity of ur pps [if it was earlier than ur meds date]. Else, for travelling & 'landing' u'd've no issues. U can always renew it later & submit both pps once u get the PPR.

Yes, I do have second line. It says " We started processing on June 12, 2012" same as yours. So I should also likely to receive right? I also applied through an agent from Dubai known as Premiers. Are you through the same?

Have you contacted your agency? As for me, I have sent a CSE on Jul 11. I received a reply from them on Jul 16 that they have dispatched my MR on Jul 12; hence I sent an email to my agency and told them the same. Today afternoon, i received a call from them that they have received my MR via courier last Jul 20.

My representative is in dubai also, called Global Strategic Business Consultancy but they're under WWICS which is based in India.

I believe you should be expecting your MR soon also, since our timelines are very much similar. ;D

Sometimes you have to brag your consultant with what you want, otherwise if it wont work, do it your own way, just like i did. Don't depend much on them, send a CSE so you can have peace of mind. ;) ;) ;)

Hi Captain/Biju,

For BC Health Insurance,do we have to personally go and collect the Insurance card or whatever they give or will it be sent to the address?Why I ask is I may not be there in Oct when I am supposed to get it or rather I am eligible.
Also there is a premium amount mentioned in this link https://www.health.gov.bc.ca/exforms/msp/premium_assistance.html
Will it be paid when I submit this form or when I get the Insurance in October?

qorax said:
1. MSP [Medicare] has mandatory wait pds in BC. Which is the bal of month + 2 months. Pls see the link below.
2. With a Dxb-LOA [of 2-yrs] u r permitted one chance to get "direct 'G", all wait pds r waived. Else, u can take the G2 & then G anytime.
3. Unless u r from a 'visa-exempt' nation -- u'd require US visitor's visa to enter the US. Canadian PRs have no spl concession.
