Have either of you been successful in gaining reliability status? My application went to Public Services and Procurement in October. In early November I was required to submit an Out of Country Verification, I lived in New Zealand until May 2019, and in early January I was asked for a number of...

I have spent best part of a year looking for work in Halifax Nova Scotia interrupted by Christmas holidays and then COVID. Things are beginning to improve and I am now interview with a number of companies. One role, like many in the defence industry in NS, requires Canadian security clearance...

Have you confirmed when your eligible for MSI in your province? In Nova Scotia it’s on submission of your PR application. Alternatively you can purchase health insurance through Blue Cross relatively cheaply. (Less than the cost of a flight)

The NZ full criminal record check takes at least 30 days. It might be best to request it now in case you are required to submit it. I submitted a NZ and UK certificate as part of my application, I’d spent 8 years in the UK and 13 years in NZ after turning 18.

I received my PR card yesterday. It took 15 working days from my landing interview. Thanks for all advice and tips and good luck to those still waiting.

I had my landing interview on 02/06/20 and have not yet received my PR card (I’m in NS). Today is day 15 (accounting for 1 holiday).

When are you anticipating your wife and baby will be joining you in Canada? Canadians (even those who haven’t registered their citizenship) are required to enter Canada on their Canadian passports. Dual citizens cannot enter on any other passport. We were caught out when this rule came in and...

I’d have a look into timelines and cost around the overseas process. We were living in London in 2011 and were getting my wife PR for New Zealand (we have subsequently moved to Canada) and she needed a medical and RCMP finger prints. The criminal check process from overseas at that time could...

I simply took my passport, letter and receipt of PR payment. It was very relaxed and quick. My wife was asked if she was sure she wanted to sponsor me. She paused for along moment and you could of heard a pin drop. Then 4 general immigration questions for me (I think they were): Have I been...

Received my interview date today via the online system. It’s next Thursday between 8am and 7:30pm! I was hoping for a set time but guess we’re heading down to queue after the kids go to school. Been worried when it would be as we’re going snowmobiling in NB, leaving Thursday afternoon, and the...

I’ve received a letter for my landing interview in Halifax next week. The time window is 8am to 7:30pm! Has anyone had an interview at Halifax and can give me an idea on wait times.

My BGC started date says 10 Jan, same day as SA and AIP was received. Still waiting on Halifax office for an interview date.

No, but you need to have been here long enough to get documents together showing you live together. That takes about 2-3 weeks minimum. You can enter Canada with dual intent, entering as a visitor with a view to stay, but you need to declare that on entry and in itself is fraught with risk. You...
