Ok, I followed the advice I read in this thread: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/important-ohip-eligibility-info-for-all-pr-applicants-residing-in-ontario-t56695.0.html and, I went to the Service Ontario office here in Kingston and they denied me because I did not...

I sent in my application for PR on January 29th, so I have a little ways to go yet to receive my PR. I'm from the US, so I'll likely be processed in Ottawa. I've also applied to university for the fall term, hoping I'd have my PR by then. Now I'm starting to worry a bit. International...

I haven't 'settled' yet, just put in my application for PR, but I wasn't getting any replies in the family class subforum. I'm about to file my US tax return for 2014. My partner and I became common-law on December 30, 2014. Am I required to file as 'married'? In the state where I last lived...

I'm about to file my US tax return for 2014. My partner and I became common-law on December 30, 2014. Am I required to file as 'married'? In the state where I last lived in the US, common-law marriages are not recognised (Arkansas), but obviously they are here in Ontario. I don't want to put...

So on question 10, it asks for my status in my current country of residence. I'm here in Canada as a visitor. I first entered in December 2013, but have taken trips back to the US in order to extend my status. My last entry was January 12, 2015. I put Dec 30, 2013 as the beginning of my...

My auto insurance company has found out that I've 'moved' to Canada. They said they would have to discontinue my policy. The problem is, my car is still registered in the US and I don't think I can import it and register it here until I become a PR, right? I explained to the lady that I am...

My partner and I became common-law on Dec 30th 2014. I have my application all ready except for the FBI clearance. I mailed off my fingerprints on November 10th. At the time, I was reading it would be a max of 12 weeks to get the letter. Now I'm seeing 16-18 weeks! :o I'm really worried...

Do I have to pay the $150 fee for each of my dependent children even if they are non-accompanying? :o It just says "Family member of the principal applicant who is under 19 years of age, unmarried and not in a common-law relationship OR is 19 years of age or older who has been unable to be...

I sent my fingerprint card off to the FBI last week, but after I got home from the post office, I discovered a form that I failed to include. It was a sheet with my info on it, says I-783 at the top. I included the fingerprint card and the form with my credit card info for payment. Will I be...

Are there documents that need to be certified true copies in the application? I didn't see that anywhere on the document checklist, but I saw a section about how to get them in one of the guides. Is it only if you translate documents? All mine are in English.

Ok, I was reading through the instructions and I'm trying to get straight what information to include for my 4 and 6 year old who are not accompanying me to Canada. I know they each need medical exams. I also see I need copies of their passports. What else? Do I need copies of their birth...

I just started looking over and filling out the generic application form, trying to get a head start on things (for January), and I have a few questions (I've currently been "visiting" Canada since Dec 2013 to establish a common-law marriage with my partner). -First thing is number 10, it asks...

I'm planning to apply for residency in January 2015 based on my common-law marriage. I have two children who live with their father in the US. I know I have to get medical exams for them too as non-accompanying dependents. My problem is that my ex-husband has no vacation time to take them...

If my children ever decide to move in with us in Canada, will they be allowed to attend school whilst their application is processing? 6 -8 months is a long time to be out of school. I guess the only other option if not would be to apply outland and have them stay with their dad in the US. I...

I posted this in the visitor forum, but haven't gotten any responses yet.. I'm a US citizen and my Canadian bf and I are doing the common law thing where I stay for 6 months and then apply for the extension of my visitor status. I was here from November 20-December 3 visiting, I then went back...

Ok, I'm a US citizen and my Canadian bf and I are doing the common law thing where I stay for 6 months and then apply for the extension of my visitor status. I was here from November 20-December 3 visiting, I then went back to the US until December 30 to tie up some loose ends. I will stay...

Ok, here is my situation. My boyfriend has been formally separated from his children's mother for 3 years. He just now submitted the divorce application today. From what I've read online, the process could take anywhere from 4-6 months before the divorce is final (he's in Ontario). I was...

For those of you who did the common law route (staying for 6 months as a visitor and then getting an extension), what, if anything, did you do for health insurance in the meantime? I really hate the idea of going 1 year plus without coverage. I have only a few minor issues that I may need to...

I will be "moving" to Ontario to be with my boyfriend in January. Our plan is to do the 6 months, then apply for an extension, and eventually apply based on common law. Do I tell them I'm just staying for a month or two? Or do I tell them I'm planning to stay for the full 6 months? I don't...
