Congratulations. No long to go now.

Can't help with schools, sorry (no kids). Brought over our dental and doctor's records but when registering were told they weren't needed.

Thanks,

Did they just do a complete check when you registered???

No, just filled in forms, name, DOB, address etc. Saw Doctor/Dentist, got sorted, paid and left.
Have kept the records just in case they ask for them at a later date.

Had to show our Manitoba Health Card.

We are also leaving end of November. We have asked the schools for a letter for both our boys to summarise what stage the boys are at and a general reference. I have compiled a profile on them both which contains a description of personality, hobbies, etc. It also includes the last years worth of school reports and any certificates that they have gained. We have also asked our GP for a copy of our records which is being organised for us at a cost of course. Our dentist said there was no beed for our dental records as they ususally start again whereever you go. As for utility companies we haven't approached them for references. Good luck to all of those waiting

[QUOTE=achak;5459037] I asked the utilities for confirmation of good credit; they have not been helpful so far, seems they can only writer letters if you owe them money!
Currently trying insurance companies.... we will see.
We are heading for LaSalle Ontario just as soon as the house completes.
It seems to have taken forever, our purchaser has applied for an Islamic mortgage which involves another set of solicitors!!! Who are raising the most bizarre enquiries.
Not to mention the fact that our new house is still not finished

How great a charge did the doctor applied, its £25.00 just to get a form filled in at ours!
Like you, my kids schools have been helpful.

Hi guys

Have you tried getting a copy of your credit report from companies like Experian. You can join with them online and get a months free membership. This would allow you to print off your credit report which should cover the major credit relationships you have and indicate the status of a good credit history. This is one of the main credit check companies used by many uk companies when they check your status. Just an idea, hope it may be of use

The doctors are charging £10 per child plus £5 for filling in and signing the vaccination verification form that CHC gave us with our visas, plus £10 for my husbands and then acharge for mine depending on how big the notes are. They can charge you up to £50 per person but they are not allowed to charge more than £50 per person

Hi, We didn't get a vaccination form from CHC. Sorry I've just re-read your post, I assume you got that vaccination form with your actual visa and not your PPR... D'oh
Does everyone get one?

Thanks

Firstly congrats,
Get your current auto insurance company to confirm that you are claims free for x number of years (this will save you $K over here). As far as schools go they will like to see past report for the children in order to cater to their individual learning level. Doctors and dentist don't worry about these unless there are chronic problems. You will be very lucky if you manage to get a family doctor. Most of the doctors here are from the UK or Africa in my experience.
Good luck & don't ever look back
