Hi there, can anyone recommend a company that provides health insurance to new immigrants for their first three months in Canada? Is this difficult to obtain? The insurance is for my mother, who will be landing soon.

Re: Applying for OHIP after landing Could someone explain this please? Leaving Ontario for more than 30 days in the first six months immediately after establishing residence in Ontario will impact your OHIP coverage and affect the start date of your three-month waiting period. It can result in...

Re: Obtaining OHIP after landing Hello, I believe you have to wait for 3 months (or 90 days) before applying for OHIP? Is this true? Can you apply sooner than that? What is the procedure? I'm asking for my mom, who received her landing papers recently. She wants to return to India to visit her...

Hi everyone, my mom has received her PPR. She should get the visa soon. She will need to travel to Toronto from Mumbai and land by herself. Does anyone know if this is a complicated process? Will it be a problem to do it on her own? Any advice would greatly help! Rani

Hi everyone, I have a simple question. After meds and police certificate is submitted (in early December), how long does it take to get the landing papers? What happens exactly? Do they ask for my mom's passport? Any advice would help!

Hello everyone, I am sponsoring my mother under family class. Her medical tests and police check (from India) have been completed. How much longer should we expect to wait? The application was submitted in January 2015 and forwarded to CPC-Ottawa in May 2016. Any info would be appreciated. Rani.

So just to be clear: there are people who submitted applications in 2015 who have already received the medical request?

Is this forum for people who submitted their application in 2015?

So I applied to sponsor my mom in Jan 2015. In May, I received a letter approving me as a sponsor, and that my file would be sent to CPC-Ottawa! This seems to be going very fast. Any guesses as to when I should be receiving the med test request? And then how much longer till the visa is issued?

Thanks very much for the replies. I received a letter approving me as a sponsor, and my mom's application has been sent to CPC-Ottawa. Any guesses as to when they will ask for the medical tests? I applied in Jan 2015, so you can see that everything has moved very fast!

I have an odd problem: my application is going through faster than expected, and my mother does not want to leave Mumbai for at least a few more years, not least because her brother is not well and she wants to spend time with him. So I am thinking of withdrawing the current application and...
