Dear all,
can somebody clarify for me the following issue? I found some information regarding aplication for medical insurance on the site http://www.settlement.org/sys/faqs_detail.asp?faq_id=4000013 . They say that we need to " bring your immigration papers, an original document that proves you live in Ontario (such as your telephone bill or bank statements with your name and address) and other documents as proof of identity (such as your passport, social insurance card, credit card that has your name and signature on it) ". Here is a question: what if we have to stay at a hotel for the first couple of weeks after we arrive, and won't have a permanent address, does it mean that we can't apply?
And will we be able to open a bank account without the address? Or is it possible to give our friends' address?
Thank you.
Victoria
