One more thing. Don't forget that some immigrants come to Canada because they hope and wish for a better future, especially work wise, money wise. Some leave everything behind and just have "some" bucks to start. Not a good start when bills for medical help eat up the money. :)

steaky... I'm not against moving but I, as a parent think and you can read it often on this forum and elsewhere that people move from one country to another (or Province), plus being pregnant but don't know nothing about the health care system. I just don't understand. That is risky, end of...

Do you agree that it would make sense to look up their website to get all information or maybe call them directly? http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/health/health-drug-coverage/msp MSP won't cover anything until she is eligible. Until then it's all on you. Please don't get this wrong, I am a...

Lool I sometimes wonder how people survive. Geez. Look up the info's on BC MSP, you'll find the enrollment application forms and a detailed explanation. You should also check out all the important infos around what's covered.

Premium is the monthly "rate" you have to pay. The premium depends on the income. ---> http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/health/health-drug-coverage/msp/bc-residents/premiums Leon is right, I also know someone who had to pay back what was oovered by BC MSP. She had been in BCfor about 4 years...

I am sorry to hear about your situation! But, many immigrants are in the same situation, many leave part of their family behind and we all know life gets in the way all the time. We also know about our obligations as PR's. Or at least we should know. In 2011 my step-dad got very sick and he...

It depends on the Bank and on your personal income etc. RBC seems to (from what I experienced and heard) issue a cc after (+/-) 6 month. Depending on your income (and I wouldn't lie because a Bank can check on you if they believe you've given accurate information!) you won't even need to get a...

My friends application was delivered on April 1/2016 and she got a message from IRCC at the end of April that her application had been received. eCas hasn't been a real "help" in regards to the status but she got a message a few days ago, that her card is ready for pick up. I think it really...

Please look up the information and check list which part of the application! It's all written down and easy to follow.

Three weeks is nothing. You might have to wait three, four, five month, depending on all kinds of reasons. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.asp Better relax :)

One envelope is fine!

My friend applied for renewal in April 2016. IRCC received application on April 1st, started processing on April 27th (I believe) and she got an email a few days ago that she has to pick up her new card in early September. So it took a while even though IRCC didn't ask for any documents / photos...

I would never step into a 6 or 12 month rental agreement, no matter what's written on the internet!! Airbnb is expensive, thanks to greedy people... Another option could be a short stay at a motel. There are good ones out there and from what I know (tried it myself, friends did too) some...

The reason I brought this up is that yes, you're a PR: with a visa exempt passport and not eligible for the eTA. That might be a good thing in your case 'cause at this point your passport might be enough to board the plane back home to Canada. The lienency period seems to be a period where...

Not sure about that... The leniency period is soon over but some Airlines might want to see either a TD or a PR card. You should look up the information on the Airlines website. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas-all.asp Alles Gute! :)
