Re: British TV in Canada

If you really want live UK TV there's tvcatchup.com . They currently have 40 UK channels and also provide PS3 support. As mentioned before, you'll need a VPN service to watch live UK TV over the Net.

Re: Step son not coming to canada - why do we still have to pay for medical?

So if an unaccompanying son or daughter has to take medicals now, does this mean that they won't have to take medicals again in the future if they decide to move to Canada? Don't medicals expire for...

Re: Uk T.V.s in Canada

A PAL-encoded DVD will not show much if anything at all on an NTSC TV.

I brought over a multi-region DVD player from the UK along with my collection of PAL DVDs. I discovered that some LCD TVs...

Re: If Medicals Expire, What's next?

If your medicals expire because of processing delays you have to wait until they request new medicals. It happened to me two years ago and everything was fine in the end.

Re: Visit after PPR but not landing

You can tell the customs officer that you are there to visit, not to land at this time. Obviously you have to make sure that you don't miss the deadline for landing.
If you are all not landing...

Re: High Blood Pressure in Medicals

It may just be nerves in which case there's nothing to worry about. If the BP is persistently high, then as long as there isn't an underlying problem (e.g. kidney or heart problems) it can be...

Re: When you landed thier how did you show proof of funds?

We landed in Toronto last month and were asked how much money we had on us and how much we will be bringing later. I had an online print-out but they didn't look at it.

Also, I don't think you...

Re: What are they doing?

Hi,

I also had to retake medicals due to the first ones expiring. I then had to wait almost 6 months before PPR. These things do take time and as long as there is no serious medical problem,...

Re: Anyones medical go out of date?

That's part of the reason why I was angry. They requested the first medicals and then let them expire. When I tried to find out what the hold-up is, I was told that it's with one of their departments...

Re: At last, PPR!

It is indeed strange that it should take significantly longer by post, and in your case posting them is the logical choice since you're so far away.

Re: At last, PPR!

I am waiting to receive renewed passports and then I'll be heading to CHC London to hand them in. As stated earlier, it takes just two weeks and is much quicker and cheaper than posting them.
