    PCC application in BLS with expired PR card

    Does BLS allow accept expired PR cards for a PCC application? As part of the Indian embassy FAQs I read that people with an expired work or temporary visa can still apply for a PCC. But it doesn't mention anything about expired PR cards. Canada considers people with expired PR cards as valid PR...

    Do children born this year figure in the (previous year's) tax return?

    My wife and I moved to Canada last year (2019) while my child was born this year (2020). While filling up the tax return for 2019, am I supposed to consider my family status as of 2019 (self, spouse) or as of current date (self, spouse, child)? This will decide whether I'm supposed to fill in...

    Queries about downpayment related rules in Canada

    I'm a newcomer to Canada and I'm planning to buy a house sometime down the line in Ontario. While browsing through various websites and consulting with a few realtors, I came across various legal requirements that one must fulfill in order to be approved for a mortgage. For newcomers, is there...

    When will the waiting period of spouse for OHIP start?

    Thank you for your replies. Kindly be assured that I'm not foolish enough to try to hoodwink the system where I'm going to live for the forseeable future. That is why there was a "hypothetically" attached to my query. My main purpose of asking this question is to understand how they will decide...

    When will the waiting period of spouse for OHIP start?

    @Hurlabrick , I agree. I'm just confused how will they decide the Ontario landing date for my wife. Will the flight ticket be valid proof of this? @canuck78 Yes.

    When will the waiting period of spouse for OHIP start?

    Thanks for your reply. I'm aware of the proofs required for the process. Hypothetically, what are the risks of simply showing them the rental agreement as proof of residence for my wife (and getting the coverage started immediately)? They did not ask me any other proof of entry into Ontario...

    When will the waiting period of spouse for OHIP start?

    I moved to Ontario at the beginning of May this year. I found a place to live and have a rental/lease agreement (starting 1st May) that has my spouse's name as well. I applied for OHIP card and got it after the three month waiting period. i.e. valid from August 1. If my spouse now joins me in...

    Is the single entry visa validity date just for landing or for entire duration of stay?

    I got my passport stamped with the single entry visa that is valid for one year. Let's say my visa is valid till 31 December 2018. Does this mean that I have to simply enter Canada before or on that date? Or does it mean the date until the time I get my PR card? I'm assuming its the former. i.e...

    Employment Reference Letter

    Have you provided the former manager's contact details? Are they still contactable on that number? If you can get a reference letter from your new manager, that would be the best option.

    Employment Reference Letter

    AFAIK, IRCC asks for a reference letter from either the reporting manager or the HR. Am not sure what you mean by branch manager.

    How Much Time It Takes From Passport to Visa Stamped via VFS

    Received my stamped passport today. Overjoyed. But with that also comes the realization that there will be no longer the nervous excitement of refreshing the CIC page and this forum multiple times in a day to check for the latest status. The people on this forum have been a very big help and i...

    How Much Time It Takes From Passport to Visa Stamped via VFS

    Congratulations on your approval. Guess it was only a matter of a day. In answer to your query, not that it would matter now, but I had also submitted at VFS Mumbai. I also called up the VFS helpline today. They mentioned that wait for a day or so. They will receive the bluedart tracking number...

    Issue with Name in Passport

    Go ahead with this passport. Shouldn't be a problem. However, list down all the names that are present in the various IDs, documents, etc., and also get the list of names notarized. Additionally, mention the same in the LOE.

    Finallyyyyyy. Got the much awaited PPR mail. I assume the status of my application stays "In progress" until the passport is stamped? A big thanks to all the forum members who were of immense help. Will be updating my timeline in detail and sharing my experience over the weekend. :D

    Hi, How long did it take them to reply to your visa office query? I have sent a similar mail on the 8th of December. And i got an auto mailed saying they're currently responding only to CSEs because of a high load.
