HI, I am a Canadian citizen and I am outland sponsoring my wife for a PR. She is currently with me in Canada on a TRV and we now want to apply for an OWP under the new public policy that allows even family class outland PR applicants to apply for an OWP. In the application process, it asks...

No, I'm not a new employee. It's a policy in place for any dependents who are in process of becoming PRs. And yes you are right about the 3 months period before provincial healthcare, I was concerned about that, I explicitly said spouse does not have PR yet and it is still processing, but they...

It's through my employer so maybe that explains it?

I called Manulife and the person said it's basically RAMQ coverage, without the card.

Thanks. We were apparently approved for it, but let's see if I can submit receipts and get them reimbursed.

Ahh ok, TRP is not the same as TRV. Are planning on applying for an OWP for your spouse?

Thanks for the link but now I think I'm even more confused. In that link, how do they reconcile: 1) as per section R181, a temporary resident may apply to extend their period of authorized stay before it ends. If they have done so, their period of authorized stay as a temporary resident is...

Yes, I didn't mean renew, but rather apply for a new TRV. What do you mean by status being extended?

Ok so basically you will likely have to renew the TRV at least once to get an OWP.

1) You are a Canadian citizen or PR 2) You married someone who lives in another country 3) You applied for Family Class PR sponsorship i.e. outland sponsorship, and received your AOR by now 4) Your spouse managed to get a TRV (generally 6 months) to Canada 5) Spouse arrived in Canada and lives...

Did you apply to get the GCMS notes yet?

It's about $150/month. Apparently it replaces RAMQ coverage, so everything RAMQ covers, the PPR covers. Not sure about the 6 months things, I can look into that.

Thanks. Apparently, we can apply for provincial plan replacement from Manulife which is supposed to cover everything RAMQ does until you get RAMQ.

But I imagine the AIP comes much much later no? With Quebec keep increasing processing times, we may have to wait years to get the AIP. She already has CSQ.

But travel insurance won't cover pregnancy will it?

Hello, I am a Canadian Citizen. My spouse is from abroad and I am in the process of sponsoring her. She will be visiting Quebec on a TRV soon. My question is, if she gets pregnant with our child, will the pregnancy still be covered by RAMQ since I am a Canadian Citizen and Quebec resident...

Yes, but those jobs are far and few between. I agree would be good to work, but she's been working all her life in her home country and wants to take a break. French would definitely help just in general for everyday life, but first priority is to get really good at English. I agree about...

My spouse is not planning to work in Canada, she will be a housewife, at least that's what she wants in the beginning. Plus I'm in Quebec, and she doesn't speak French so unlikely she was getting a job anyways.

Yes thanks. I was talking about getting private insurance for someone not yet eligible for provincial health care because they are still waiting for their PR while visiting Canada.

Wow, good to know thanks. I will make sure to get insurance before we even try.
