Re: Replacement PR Card & Photo ID

Thanks for the input.

BCID won't accept my passport as primary ID as it has expired. When I talked to them in person today they said the only primary ID I can use is a valid passport, a PR card,...

Replacement PR Card & Photo ID

Well it's been over 5 years since I posted on this forum, since I've now been in Vancouver for nearly 6 years (and BTW I'm loving it and miss nothing about the UK). I have an issue, so I figured it...

Re: Immigration advice on possible options

Your options are to get married and apply as spousal or wait the required length of time until you have been living together for 1 year and apply as common-law partners.

Re: What's it like?

ps... I remember seeing some show on TV in the UK. The one where they follow people who emigrate. Don't remember what it was called. But I remember seeing one where the guy was an electrician. They...

Re: I want to sponsor my parent

She can only come as a tourist and will have to meet all the requirements needed for that. There will be a maximum length of time she can stay before she has to go back to her home country (usually 6...

Re: What's it like?

Hi,

Re: Cellphones in Canada ?

I have a Rogers Pay as you Go Mobile. I didn't want a contract one as I hardly ever use it, and didn't want to be tied down to a contract (which over here is usually a 3year contract, not a 1 year...

Re: Spousal PR Application Questions

1. Doesn't matter for spousal applications... There's no scoring system, no income requirement, nothing, just have to be a spouse... In fact, if I remember correctly I don't think there is even a...

Re: Returned sponsorship application..help with detail..

I would double check that that is what they want! If you're applying as a spouse then you don't need to get any family members to sign anything as none of them will be coming to Canada with you! As...

Re: Canadian Bank Accounts

i don't think that's really needed for a spousal application! I came over as a UK spouse of a Canadian in January. We were both living in the UK as well. We just included a letter with the...

Re: Canadian Bank Accounts

I don't think having a Canadian bank account will strengthen your application for PR... will it? Surely it's only useful if you intend to buy something like a house/car before you land.

Also, HSBC...

Re: How Easy to Get Mortgage after you land?

Little hint for you! Get a copy of your UK Equifax credit file to send to any Canadian mortgage brokers. You can get it online in about 5 mins for £8.25. Also, get a Canadian credit card as soon as...

Re: Sponsoring a baby but temporarily out of Canada, please help!

That's not true, it's either 2 or 3 years out of every 5 year period that you have to be in Canada.

But I think the problem they are asking about is that they have a PR sponsorship application in...

Re: Sponsoring Parents

Thanks for this.

The burden of sponsorship for 10 years isn't too much of a worry for me. As Andrew Miller said, as PR's they would be eligible for MSP 3 months after landing anyway, so medical...

Re: Why do you Stay in Canada?

I don't think property prices are that bad here. Especially when compared to some areas of the UK. Sure if you want a 3/4 bedroom townhouse in West Van or Kitsilano then you can (and should) expect...

Re: immigrating to Canada.....HELP!!!!
