Assessing your eligibility

To be eligible for a PR card, you must:

• be a permanent resident of Canada
• be physically present in Canada
• meet the residency requirement (see Appendix A – Residency obligation)
• not be under an effective removal order
• not be a Canadian citizen and
• not be convicted of an offense related to the misuse of a PR card

you are not eligible to be issued an open work permit at this time, since you did not have a valid temporary resident status when we received your work permit application.

If the landlord gives a tenant notice to end the tenancy, the tenant does not have to move out. The landlord must apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board (the Board) for an order allowing the eviction of the tenant. The tenant has the right to go to a hearing and explain why they should not be evicted.

At the hearing, a landlord will have to prove that the tenant should be evicted. The tenant can go to the hearing to explain why they should not be evicted, even if they have done something that is a reason for eviction.

Even though a landlord proves their case in an application to evict a tenant, the Board must consider all the circumstances of each case to decide whether or not the eviction should be refused or delayed.

If a tenant doesn’t leave the rental unit by the termination date in the eviction order, a landlord cannot personally enforce the order (remove a tenant from a rental unit or change the locks). See the section called Landlord cannot lock tenant out of the rental unit on page 2 for more information. An eviction order can only be enforced by the Court Enforcement Office (the “Sheriff’s Office”).

The Board does not enforce an order. The landlord must file a copy of the Board order with the Sheriff’s Office to have the order enforced. The Sheriff’s Office will charge the landlord a fee for the enforcement of the order. Further information about enforcement can be obtained from the Sheriff’s Office.

Him sponsoring me (he is on ODSP) - I have researched and am under the impression that he is able to sponsor me on ODSP, however does this mean it is less likely they will accept it? He doesnt have his own home, he lives with his family but there is more than enough space for me and him to live there, as I have already stayed with them all. They have welcomed me with open arms to live in their home if I wish to.

I guess my biggest question is... do I get the ball rolling and book the CELPIP test and begin my skilled worker application OR should my partner sponsor me? Which would be the best route to go down?

Exchange a driver’s licence

You can exchange an out-of-province licence for an Ontario licence, if you are re-locating from:

• any Canadian province or territory
• Canadian Forces Europe
• U.S. States
• Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, the Isle of Man, Japan, Korea, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Switzerland

When you can’t exchange

You cannot exchange:

• a driver’s licence from a country that does not have an exchange agreement in place with Ontario (it is not listed in the section above)
• a learner’s permit or novice-class driver’s licence from another province, state or country
• a motorcycle class driver’s licence from Japan, Korea, Germany, France, Great Britain, Austria, Belgium, Isle of Man, or Republic of Ireland for a Class M Motorcycle licence, because the exchange agreements mentioned above do not include motorcycle class driver’s licences.

You might still be able to fast-track and get credit for previous driving experience.

How to apply

Vaccinations for adults and children

Vaccinations (also called immunizations) are one of the best ways to protect yourself and your children from getting serious diseases. You should ask a doctor what vaccinations you and your children need.

Before your children start school, you can arrange to have them vaccinated against certain diseases through your doctor or a public health clinic. You will receive a vaccination record, which you may have to provide to your child’s school. If you and your children were not fully vaccinated against preventable diseases before coming to Canada, you should contact a doctor or local public health clinic to schedule an appointment to be vaccinated.
