Re: Using Alberta healthcare before registering

Thanks.

I've had a look at immigrant medical insurance and for 2 months I can get $100,000 of coverage (including my ongoing condition as it is 'stable') for $200 so I may just do that for peace...

Re: It's finally happening...

Don't kid yourself that you will receive an expedited processing because of your location. Mine took just over 7 months and there was not a peep between biometrics and CoPR (some 5 months). UK single...

Re: PR

The photos definitely have to be sent by post. But the standard procedure is for them to ask for photos to be posted and passport pages/appendix A to be uploaded to online account. The issue is that...

Re: PR

If it is only passport pages, the letter will likely say to upload these to your online account, together with 'Appendix A' which is included in the letter (even if no details have changed). Often,...

Re: 7 Months & Still Waiting

Congrats! I didn't notice the date of your OP so I was about to post that 7 months is commonplace and RR is known to delay things, so your applications were probably just about where they should be...

Sorry, what does that mean!? Should I be taking a chance on the ads (most of them) that say 'credit check and references mandatory'? I don't want to waste time on either side.

Best of luck with everything. If you're keen on GTA anyway then it's probably one of the better areas for job prospects in any event, just on sheer size.

I guess I'm the exception then in that I prioritise where I want to live. It's not like you will never have a job. It may not initially be in your desired field but you WILL find a job to pay the...

Bear in mind that, both being into your thirties, you will lose points at every birthday. So, even if you are not definitely decided on going, it would be advisable to get your applications in asap....

Re: Tax and pension investment queries

No, I think the £700 rate is right as you are now no longer working abroad. You can only pay the Class 2 if you are in employment abroad.

Re: Tax and pension investment queries

My understanding is that you can pay voluntary class 2 if you are working abroad but if you are not working then your only option (if you wish to do so) is to pay voluntary class 3. I'll only have...

Guilt on iplayer is a great four-part series. Very much along the same lines of Better Call Saul.

Re: EE FST current processing times

Re: EE FST current processing times

I was 7 months recently. Once the medical is passed, you have to provide biometrics a few weeks later. After that, be prepared to hear nothing for at least the 6 months from AoR. That way, you may...
