I'm a Canadian citizen, but have not lived in Canada, nor been a Canadian tax resident for 10 years. I moved back to Canada permanently last year with my non-Canadian husband (who became a PR last year). We both also started new jobs when we moved back to Canada. Can we claim our moving...

We received COPR today. I guess we're going to make a trip to Montana over the holidays. It is conditional that we remain in a relationship for 2 years. We've been living together 5 years, but married for just under 2 years. I'm wondering if it wouldn't be conditional if we hadn't gotten...

Decision made!! Not sure why medical wasn't extended if they were so close to a decision. Now more waiting...

We received notice (from Manilla???) that my husbands medical was not extended. He did not need to get a full medical, but a new chest xray and a visit to a panel doctor (total $275). And it turns out the doctor couldn't send it the results electronically as the file has been locked by the NZ...

So we got an email from the London office saying that our request to extend my husband's medical has been received, but that requests are not always successful. His medical expires next week. Our case notes from July show that medical passed and our relationship seems credible He's English...

As we approach the one year mark since we filled our application, I'm feeling quite disappointed. My husband's medical will expire next week and even though we asked for an extension a month ago, we haven't heard a peep since sponsor approval in January. Our case notes from a couple of months...

Hi, We've been in Canada since March and my husband has been working on a working holiday visa since August. We're at 10 months waiting time for PR, and our application status says in process since Aug 8th, but we haven't heard anything. We're going to send a note asking for his medical to be...

Application in progress August 5th. We're at 9 months now and thinking this is a bit ridiculous.

Well we finally have some good news. My husband decided to apply for a IEC (working holiday visa) on his NZ passport as we've been in Canada since March and he really needs to start working. Yesterday he got the email that his IEC visa has been approved(only took 2 weeks!). As we were making...

Hi, I need some help please. My husband has applied for PR (outland) on his UK passport in December, but is still waiting. We moved to Canada in March from NZ, but he entered as a visitor (on his UK passport). What I need to know, is can he apply for IEC on his NZ passport (he's too old to...

Hi! Just wanted to share what we've found since arriving in Canada at the end of March and I also have a question I'm hoping someone can answer. We flew into Vancouver from NZ and my husband entered as a visitor on his UK passport. We explained that his PR application was submitted in December...

Can someone add us to the spreadsheet please. See above. We arrive in Canada March 21st. Hoping we'll have our approval by then.

We're going to arrive in Canada in March with my husband entering as a visitor until his PR is approved. Although we're hoping for quick approval, I realize there are no guarantees and we'll try to be patient! But I'm just wondering if we'll get an email or a letter when his application is...

Hi, I've been looking through the forum and haven't found the info I'm looking for. Here's the situation: We have a property here in NZ that we'd like to rent when we move back to Canada. Although the property has increased in value since we bought it, given our mortgage payments, we will...

So on EIC is the requirement to have health insurance for the full duration of the visa (12 months)? Or can you do 3 months? Are there any plans that offer cancellation? Can someone also confirm that I (Canadian) would be eligible for Alberta Health Care as soon as I arrive in Alberta from...

This is news (good news) to me, as we're still debating between Alberta and BC. Are Canadians (me) eligible for Alberta Healthcare immediately upon returning to Canada? Or do I still need to get my own insurance for 3 months? And will my husband be eligible as soon as we arrive in Canada...

Can someone add us? Application received Dec 11th, 2013 Stage 1 approved Jan 9th Married, no dependents. Hoping to make the move in March!

Thanks! Do you know if it's a problem arriving on an IEC (on a NZ passport), with a pending PR application (UK passport)? I understand for IEC he'll need: proof of funds 12 months of health insurance ticket out of Canada (bus ticket to Seattle OK?)

Just got the email that our application was received Dec 11th! Fingers crossed for an easy wait. Now we're busy looking for jobs. We're planning to move in March and my husband will either wait out the processing on a TRV or he might apply for IEC. Quick question. Will he need a return...

Hi, I hope I've found the right place to post my questions. We're just looking for some help on the best way to proceed to get us both to Canada in the quickest, cheapest, legal way. I'm Canadian, my husband is British and we live in NZ (no kids). I now also have NZ citizenship and my...
