Hello people of God,

Hope we are keeping safe.

Please I need urgent leads on the most or any of the most efficient but affordable medical insurance (if it matters, in Alberta). One that can accommodate hospital consultations, drugs, basic dental and optometry.

I am asking because a number of them have clauses that sometimes you never hear about when they advertise the product and i dont want stories that touch.

Kindly help with any practical information at your disposal as soon as possible.

PS: I need it for a senior already in canada.

Thanks

Thanks, this follows the conclusions reached.

SlowlybtSurely:


I'd think the child will be considered a resident for tax filing purposes from the day of initial landing. However, when applying for CCB, do indicate the travel history and let them decide if he's eligible.

Less than 6 months in total, too young for school , no need for daycare. PS residency was from middle of the year

SlowlybtSurely:


How long did the dependant stay on each visit? Were they registered in school or daycare?

This please

Newbeecey:
Hello all,

Please I need some clarification on an area for the purpose of tax filing. If a dependant was not in Canada as at 31 Dec (there is this specific question using turbo-tax) but had come into Canada twice during the year, how is the child's residency status described for tax purposes?

Thanks, I would appreciate a regulatory reference if possible.

@everygirl, this should however not be an issue since you can get the reference from CPA in different provinces; that is what i did

hayoakins:


I did three (3) days ago, it bounced back. You may want to ask your question here



Oh great.

Please ensure you pay attention to this Ontario requirement below;

Two Referee Recommendations.
Reference forms must be completed on your behalf by individuals who are members of a Canadian provincial CPA body or CPA Bermuda. References must have known you for longer than one year and must not be related to you.

If you cannot meet this requirement, you may want to explore other provinces. No time to waste time

please add me to the group too, I am sending a PM to follow up

Jaygirl20:
You can send me a PM

Remember that it is proof of address that you require the statement for, wherever it was delivered to, what address is stated on the statement is where you can use it. I however do not know if it can be used province wide.

prost80:


Thanks a little dilemma, we did soft landing last year my wife credit card statement is sent to another city, Calgary but same province. Can she use that in another city?

Any bank statement, so long as it shows your name and address in that province / city

prost80:
Thank you Newbeecey

Is it any bank statement like debit card or is credit card that can be acceptable as proof of address for processing my driving license

Sorry for seeking clarification

Yes to both questions.

prost80:
Hello All, please for those of us coming to Alberta( edmonton), can we use bank statement as proof of address? And can the address be an address of a friends place we will be staying? Please I want clarification

When you check on skyscanner, you can narrow down on two or three and then go and check the prices for the same days on the actual airlines website[quote author=Maverick22 post=86112410]Hello everyone.

Greetings my amiable seniors, feels good to be post PPR(copr gotten) ��

I’m looking to land in Toronto by February (and share my landing gist)
I’ve been searching for the best flight options and other things to take note of..

I’ve come across some flight tickets on SKYSCANNER and they were slightly cheaper than other sites, is it advisable to book via those websites curated by skyscanner or is there some other trusted site/app?

You should reach out to Mr Sule ASAP, his contact details can be gotten via search on this forum.

kpnick:
Hello house, please who has applied for frsc driving records / authentication of Driver’s Licence recently?.

I applied via mail over 2 weeks ago but am yet to get a response from them.

Hello,

Hope you have been well and landed now? I wanted to know how you could show your name on the certificate of completion of the online course if someone paid on your behalf. [quote author=raphrulz post=78927250][color=#000099]The steps I took to convert my ACCA to CPABC under the MRA with ACCA include the following ( you will also find it on their website):


6. The next requirement was to do a refresher course from CPA: introduction to canadian tax and law. This one posed the biggest challenge because they wouldn’t allow us pay with our naira cards from naija. Infact on their website they requested for at least an international bank draft. Although I know someone that changed his vpn to another country thus making his naira card acceptable.... I actually took advantage of the fact that I had a friend in Canada. I paid the naira equivalent to his account while he paid he canadian equivalent to CPA. They been granted me access to the module on CPA. I finished it in barely 2 days of a weekend and attached he certificate of completion to the mail which i sent to CPABC. This cost me about 590 CAD

I did, it probably was not robust enough. I just said she was coming to visit and spend some time with her grandkids, nothing fancy.

abbyode:
Okay. In your application, did you include letter of explanation to give details and purpose of the trip? Just asking...

I won't humor you further with any response after this; people take advantage of what the government offers because they pay taxes. Subsidizing child care is not a hand me down and won't it be foolish that subsidy exists and I do not take advantage of it, just because I want to prove that I can afford not to. You seem pretty predisposed to being a nuisance; if you cannot add value to a conversation, the thing to do would be to push your tongue down your throat when your brain starts to push you to talk nonsense.

Boss13:


If you can afford it, you wont talk about subsidies. Labor isn't cheap in the west

lol @nobody appreciates. Its always like what have you been doing all day? When in actual fact it's what they have been doing to you. We just use their CCB and some from the pocket to pay biko before Social Security will come and carry them from me for African style discipline.

Plus tomorrow now , they will still tell me that i should not have stopped working because of them.

19CannyMum:


I feel you jare. Staying home with kids is thankless work. Sometimes it's better to pay for daycare than to be doing free work that nobody appreciates. At least in your office when you complete project, your boss will tell you well done.

From my research in my neighborhood, full day daycare costs come to 500 after subsidy (meals included) for a preschooler (if you're in the lowest income rung. The higher you earn, the less your subsidy). Costs also reduce as the child gets older.

I will pass jare; let them go to daycares, we will pay whatever differential is left after subsidy.

19CannyMum:


To receive subsidy, yes. Sincerely I don't know the process but I know that most dayhomes only have 6 children... So having 5 already...

You will be alright with your silly sarcastic laugh. Unfortunately for you, people in this trade have not appointed you their spokesman. So because labor is not cheap for you means other people cannot afford it?

Boss13:


Laughs - who do you think wants to be your Nanny? Do you think labor/services are cheap? People operating within this industry charge by the hour.

Thanks. But arent day homes required to be licensed?

19CannyMum:


Nannies are more expensive than daycare. No subsidies for nanny in alberta, don't know of other provinces.

If I had 5 children I'd open a dayhome. Maybe then employ a childcare assistant.

Lol @ enrolling for nanny course work. I felt the same way too o. Thanks for the references; i just wanted to know if it ends at just charging per hour or if there is any standard for which it increases by number of kids or if it's just based on negotiating prowess.

salford:

She has 5kids. For that, a nanny would be cheaper than daycare. I highly doubt if the government wil subsize payment for nanny services.

There are websites offering Nanny and child minder services. One can also find by joining Facebook groups within the community. I know a nanny could cost around 2k and up for maybe 2 kids. I don't know if they will want more money for more kids.

I am seeing $30 bucks an hour. Chai.
Maybe I should enrol on a nanny course too and work casual

This is my exact same situation and yet she was just denied. Not sure how to proceed from here

bigfido:


I am a PR. Docs submitted
letter of invitation
letter explaining her purpose of visit and where she would be going to during her visit
her statement of account which didn't have any money tangible in it.. I think she had 120k or so
a letter stating she is a homemaker/ she doesn't work
virgin passport
birth certificate showing she is my mum
my PR card


That's all

I am alone with my kids in canada and am looking to start working soon. Considering the high cost of daycare, does it make sense to hire a nanny instead to take care of the kids (eg 5 kids of different ages all less than 7) at home; the school aged kids would go to school and be dropped off at home when they close.
Is there any scenario where the cost of a nanny is subsidized?

I would really appreciate the opinions, advice and/or discussions of people who are very familiar with this.

@abbyode @hotstepper yes, she stays with dad in Nigeria, and no dependent kids either.

Hotstepper:
[
ok..what can u use as ties for her in naija? Daddy still there? any business? dependent kids?


quote author=Newbeecey post=84600392]Yes i did, also included my canadian and Nigerian bank statements. There is more than enough in them to feed 5 other mouths for more than one year, that wasnt the issue. Their reason was travel history and no convincing evidence that she would return back to Nigeria after her stay.

Hotstepper:

You are not working? So how did you prove that you can afford to feed another mouth?

Did you include LOE?

There are conditions that are required for that and I cannot meet all of them as of now; this includes a particular amount as income.

LifeIsGuhd:


Have you tried super visa for her?

My mum's TRV was denied based on travel history. I feel extremely terrible right now.

Any ideas how to fix this cos it is what it is, she has not travelled before but I am currently alone with my kids in Canada and need her to come over so I can begin job hunting.

Congrats, please share info on what you did and documents submitted, mum's own has been almost two months already, no update
