Parenteral benifits on implied status. I need this amount to Survive

[venkatesh jalubula]

Hi All.

Need your help.

I am currently receiving parenteral benefits and my current WP and SIN expires on 30-Apr-19. I applied for an OWP extension on 03-Apr-19. My TRV got extended but my OWP is still in process. I have the following questions

1. Can I extend my SIN by presenting my OWP application???
2. Can I send my OWP application to service Canada by presenting my OWP application so that I can receive my EI without any interruptions?


Please, please help me. I need my EI amount to survive.

Thanks

1. Unfortunately you need a valid WP to extend since. TRV doesn’t allow someone to work.

2. You need a valid OWP to get EI benefits. An application could lead to a refusal so they can’t approve based on an application.

Thanks for the reply. That’s what I thought.

It’s kinda weird that we are legally eligible to work and receive pay cheque if you are awaiting for work permit application outcome, but can’t collect EI benefits.

Not sure how they come up with such a brilliant thoughts.

EI is a benefit so Canada is paying out money. It is very different than working and getting paid. There are cases where you can’t work while you are waiting for the outcome of an extension.

Hmm. In my opinion EI is not a benefit. CCB is. We all have to pay EI premiums and have strict rules to get approved for an EI (600 hrs).

One more thing that pisses off me is the open work permit processing times, 3 months??? Why don’t CIC work on reducing it?? They are charging $255 for an OWP application. I personally believe they are providing a very poor service compared to the amount of money they are charging.

Nothing is free in Canada.

You have the right to go home at any time, if you don't like how we do things here..

It costs IRCC considerably more than $255 to process the application. If they charged cost recovery, you'd be asked to pay a few thousand dollars. Canadians are subsidizing that processing for you. For IRCC to reduce processing time, they'd need more money and charge you more.

The processing is required to filter out everyone who tries to illegally get work permits and all the other people trying to scam people who want work permits.

I know why you feel it's unfair but the cost you pay is not in any way the cost of processing the permit.

If you are waiting for a work permit to be approved, then you aren't legally eligible to work, that is why there are work permits.
Kind of like drivers licenses, you may know how to drive, but until you get that drivers license, you can't legally drive.
Any other concerns with Canada you would like assistance with ?

 

[venkatesh jalubula]

You can legally work if your work permit is under processing. Why don’t the same apply for EI benefits?? I worked till the day before delivery to accumulate 600 hrs. If I don’t get my EI money, how should I pay my bills??

I expressed my dissatisfaction over high OWP processing time lines. For that people suggest that I can go back home. Is that the way to help others???

OWP are a privilege not a right. Contact your MP if you do not agree with the law regarding EI benefits, however since you are a foreign national, who elected to have a baby, without any financial backup aka savings in the bank, depending upon EI solely to support yourself, without doing any leg work on that you would actually be receiving EI , wasn't a wise idea.It is not the Governments responsibility to advise individuals in this country on financial planning prior to having a baby, it is not within their mandate. And you do not have any relatives back home that could assist you at this time, as I see you had posted earlier your parents had come to visit from overseas in 2018 to help out with the pregnancy

Thank you so much for your valuable inputs. I really appreciate it.

For people who said Canadians subsidize my OWP application. I am here from past 4 years and paying taxes. I went to school before that and paid ten of thousands as tuition. As you might be aware that international student fees are way higher than Canadian or PR fees.

Bottom line is if you can help reply but don’t be rude by saying go back to your home or Canada gave you free money.

Every system has drawbacks I am just pointing it out.

Have a wonderful day

Ok, so you’ve been paying taxes for four years . So ? Everyone is obligated to pay & file taxes , that’s nothing special .
As well YOU applied to study in Canada , you knew the fees upfront for international students ..correct me if I’m wrong ..it’s not some hidden agenda put together by all the universities in this country .
You get access to the social safety net in this country if you’re eligible for them, you don’t
I worked for 30 years , paid into the system, got laid off, I received exactly 4 weeks of EI. Did I agree with it ? No, but that’s the law .
When I took compassionate care leave because my mother was dying of terminal cancer, and she had 4 weeks to live and I had to wait 2 weeks for the benefits to start , was it fair ?
No, but that’s the law
So when someone has chose this country , and is now having issues with the laws this country has implemented , the one they chose to come to , I really have a hard time understanding it

Good luck

Sorry dude, but life is not fair. Not even in Canada. We all had to make it work, without any government help.

Are you actually back in Canada? From previous posts, you went back to India in February and were still there as of the beginning of April.

From previous posts, you were on maternity leave until early or mid 2018 and chose to have back-to-back children, so having to work up to the day before delivery was your choice. Your husband is working full-time, so perhaps make some household budget cuts.
