Did you apply for OHIP and SIN via phone or go to a Service Canada office?

The email you received that states your got CoPR should have an attachment which is a PDF copy of your CoPR letter. The letter says you need to send one photo to the address listed on the top of the letter to get the actual PR card. At least this is the case for me, our office is Ottawa. May be...

Both! I got an email saying that it had been confirmed and an email saying that my account had been updated :)

Hi all, Received a letter today confirming my permanent resident status without interview! I'm an August 12th applicant and I'm located in Ottawa, Ontario. Thanks to everyone on this forum and in the Whatsapp group that helped me over this journey. I wish you all good luck in your own...

When you receive your interview letter it clearly states both the sponsor and principal applicant need to attend

Spousal Sponsorship = PR. They’re not two separate applications, the sponsorship is part of the PR. The way you get PR is through your spouse sponsoring you. The total application fee cost is $1040. This does not include the cost of the medical exam (it’s required and happens later in the...

Can’t comment on the Express Entry question other than even though we’re from the UK and English is our first language, we’re not exempt from the language test. If you want to go the Inland route, you send your PR application and Open Work Permit application at the same time. Sponsorship is...

Hi! Fellow Brit here! You wouldn’t be able to go down the conjugal route unfortunately. It’s for couples who’s circumstances prevent them from getting married (usually from countries where gay marriage is illegal/not recognized). You also can’t go down the common law route at this time as you...

Because of COVID the waiting period for OHIP bas been waived. Unfortunately all Service Canada offices in my area are closed and the nearest one is a 2 hour drive away (I don’t drive). Luckily I’m not in need of medical care/on medication currently so I’ll just wait for everything to settle...

I’m somebody who’s been there (August Inland 2019 applicant currently waiting for landing interview) Basically if your status is going to expire any time soon, absolutely apply to extend your visitor status. If your status expires before you get your work permit then you will be on implied...

I got my application number when I received my AOR email. I got my OWP 2 months after my AOR. This was long before COVID was a thing though (applied in August, OWP received in October). Definitely a good idea to apply to extend your visitor status. It’s much quicker and more straight forward...

You will not be eligible for OHIP until you’ve received your approval in principal or collected your COPR (given at landing interview). Unfortunately those of us in Ontario have to wait until we’re almost at the end of the process. ECAS is https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do?lang=en...

Hi all, Hope everyone is doing as well as you can be during these events! Has anyone been able to apply for OHIP? I know the 3 month waiting period has been waived and, before all this happened, I called Service Ontario and they said you only need AIP to apply. We have AIP and DM and...

Our landing interview was scheduled for Saturday 21st March. We received an email a couple of days before saying it was going to be rescheduled but nothing since then. I would imagine we’ll hear in due course. If they’re doing phone interviews it probably means the Officers will be working from...

Has anyone from the Ottawa office got your interview appointment coming up this week? Ours is on the 21st and we're wondering with Ottawa closing schools, libraries and various other public places whether the immigration office will be next on the list! I'm assuming it will just be postponed. I...

Hi! Ottawa office here too. We got asked the same thing. Looks like its their template :)

We’re at the Ottawa office

Hi everyone! We’re an Inland Spousal app, recently received SA and DM letters. Today I got the email for an interview at the Ottawa office. I’m concerned about a part of the interview email which says that as well as the sponsor being present (which we knew he had to be) they also want us to...

We’re married

Anyone who’s got their interview letter, did it include this part? “ Ø If you are being landed under the In-Canada Spousal/Family Class Your sponsor must be present You must provide evidence of cohabitation I know Sponsor has to be present but did y’all get asked the proof of cohabitation...
