They recently increase the fee about last/mid June to $185 (flat fee for B1/B2 regardless of country) and current wait time is Summer 2025. However, if you dedicate time Monday to Friday at about 10am you maybe lucky to get late 2023, early 2024 etc... (but you need to be dedicated, and...

Yes they can receive even before the health card. However, you'd be required to pay out of pocket and apply for refund, the lady warned me that the refund process is LONG. Also not every clinic will accept them without an OHIP card. I strongly recommend you apply for the Ontario photo card...

Yes they can open a bank account with a foreign passport and COPR at most banks not just TD. However, for OHIP they cannot use printed out bank statement with a stamp, bank statement has to be mailed in. We read on this on the website and still decided to try our luck and we were rejected.

If they don't have a lease, you can add them to one of your bills and use that otherwise Ontario photo ID is the fastest. If they intend to drive then G1 will be the fastest. The bank statement needs to be mailed, you cannot use the bank stamp or online statement, it's so silly

Non routine means it will follow the "normal" processing steps plus additional steps simply put more checks/documents will be required for various reasons. I do have a question for you: did you move out of Canada while your application is processing or are you in compliance with any RO?

It silly to apply for the photo ID if you intend driving. It's a waste of money and I think that's why she advice you just take the damn test instead. Not because the photo ID cancels foreign experience, that sounds like BS and I recommend you don't accept it, go to a different location.

Late to this but no the Ontario photo card does not cancel foreign license experience. My mom got photo card application on/about Dec 15th and took the G1 on/about Dec 22nd and she was able to get credit for her foreign experience. We told the person that attended to us for her G1 at the office...

Update: Recieved my parents PR card yesterday. Exactly 56days after landing and it was dumbed in the mail box....

Yea it happened after their first family doctor visit, the doctors office has a pharmacy so they just went there to pick up and the pharmacist informed my dad of the "discount". Good to know they qualify like others because I was already panicking. Asides from paying taxes I really need a break...

Yes that is what I assumed and no we have not applied for anything...lol... But I was scared maybe the pharmacist applied on their behalf like; "oh you know you qualify for this and puts in an application" but now that I say it out loud I sound ridiculous!!! Thanks again....

Yep! I will confirm with the pharmacy just to be sure. Thanks

Thank you so much!!!

My parents had their family doctor appointment today, I was unable to go due to work and I discovered after I got back from work that my dad (83) was given a discount at the pharmacy when he picked up his prescription. I'm panicking because I have educated them (or so I thought) on why we can't...

The problem is Accra they are slower than snail. If you have indeed past the normal processing time then I strongly recommend you contact your MP for help. Good luck!!! Accra is of the worse things that could happen to anyone and I'm talking from experience

I really hope everything gets better in your family. It's a lot of sacrifice from the sponsors stand point and for it not to pan out due to family issues is a bit sad... Goodluck!

In my opinion waiting to talk to a human is.... . However, I recommend you submit the application ASAP with a detailed but brief letter of explanation. Details should include specifics on why you're in this situation if possible with dates. Good luck!

And I am trying to tell you not to be worried (easier said than done and I know) because you'd drive yourself crazy and worrying does not change anything. You have to understand that sooooo many things play into the speed of your application. Submission date is only 1 out of a million other...

I do not remember the trick to this issue you may have to wait for someone to reply or research old trends but I remember faintly the family size may have been the issue. Trying playing with that number and/or ensure you're putting the right #. No you'd not get another link from IRCC to link...

Do nothing but wait.... You're still well within the normal processing time. When you are getting close or exceed the normal processing time then you can act.

If it says somewhere that this confirms that we have received you application to sponsor bla bla then it's AOR and it means you application package at this stage is considered complete and can now be transferred to the local processing center. No you do not need to resubmit it clearly say "if...
