b) If you move to Ontario from another province or territory where you had provincial/territorial health insurance coverage:

If you move to Ontario directly from another province and apply for coverage, your OHIP coverage will begin on the first day of the third month after establishing residence in Ontario, provided you were insured in your previous province or territory.

Your valid health card from your former province will continue to provide you with health insurance coverage in accordance with that province/territory's plan during the waiting period.

Your previous driving experience may help you get an Ontario driver's licence faster than a new driver.

The process depends on how much driving experience you have. In all cases, you driver's licence must not be expired, or must have expired less than a year ago.

Hey, I am 16 years old and I have got the Permanent Resident Card.

I was wondering if I stayed in Canada for 4 years from now onward, will I become a Canadian Citizenship or do I have to stay the 4 whole years after my 18th birthday keeping in mind that no adults (parents or a guardian) will be staying with me except my 20 years old sister.

So briefly, my question is WIll those 2 years count or not?

1- If I decide to go next year in June 2018, Will they allow me enters, into the Canada if only one year and couple of months left for PR card to be expired? The prc will be expire in Sep 2018 2- If they suspect in point (1), that I don’t meet the residence requirements, which will happens, especially my son has only visa ??what will happen in this case?

3-In case point (1), they will allow me to enter, can I live with an expire PRC? Can I Sponsor my small child in this case? will i recieve any financial assisstance for my kids who have the PRC??

4-In case (3), after completing the730 days; will I be subject to question about my absence by the officials, on applying for renewal? Also can I apply for a job there even if my PRC is expired?

5-If in the second point applies, and they reported me as I did not t meet the residency requirements, and ask me to appeal to keep my PRC? What will happen if I appeal? Do I have to leave the Canada in this case? 6-What will happen with my small child with Visa? Can I sponsor him once I reached there? In case they reported me and have to appeal?? What will happen with my small child? What do you advice?

7-Is there any way to get the residence or extend the residence five years more in Montreal, without staying the730 days?

Validating a Confirmation of permanent residence at a border

Once you get your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292 or IMM 5688) from a Canadian visa office and, if necessary, a permanent resident visa in your passport, you must have these documents validated by an immigration officer at a local IRCC office in Canada or a port of entry (POE).If you decide to go to a POE, you must:

Leave and re-enter Canada,this can be done by entering the U.S.* at a land border, by ferry or by flying out to any other country and back into Canada,

Inform the officer you need to validate your Confirmation of Permanent Residence,

Show the following documents: passport, travel or identity document (including secure visa counterfoil IMM 1346, if applicable),Confirmation of Permanent Residence and instructions issued by the Canadian visa office,

proof of legal status in Canada, such as: valid work permit, study permit, temporary resident permit or visitor record,
or
proof of implied status, such as: payment receipt,copy or printout of paper or online extension application,proof of mailing or online submission,etc.,(if applicable) any temporary resident document in your possession, whether valid or not, and (if applicable) CSQ (if you are settling in Québec).

To find the POE closest to you that offers the full range of immigration services, you can visit the Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) website.

Please note that you can expect to encounter extended delays at the land border POE, particularly during weekends and holidays.

*It is your responsibility to verify if you require a visa to enter the U.S. and to contact CBSA for the POE opening hours.

Licensee

You are considered a "licensee" and the person who rents the place to you is a "licensor". The law of landlord and tenant does not apply. Neither the Commercial Tenancies Act nor the Residential Tenancies Act applies to you. The law about licensees is mostly judge-made law.

A licensee has a limited right to occupy the premises for a limited period of time.

The courts will look at many factors to determine whether a person is in a landlord-tenant relationship or a licensor-licensee relationship. There is no simple test.

Two common situations when you would likely be considered to be a licensee are:

-if you share a house or condominium unit (including a bathroom or kitchen) with the owner or their child, parent, spouse, or their spouse's child or parent

-if you rent a room in a house, apartment or condominium unit from a person who is a tenant living there, and you share the space with that person.

As a licensee you have very little legal protection.

You can be evicted:

-without notice if you don't pay rent; or

-with notice for any reason or even for no reason.

The amount of notice required is usually equal to your rental period (often one week or one month).

It is often a good idea to get a written agreement before moving in. You should include in this agreement what will happen if you want to move out or if the person you rent from wants you to leave.

If there is a dispute between you and the person you rent from, and you cannot settle it between yourselves, you may have to go to court.

Depending on the type of dispute, you may be able to go to Small Claims Court or the Superior Court.

It is very unlikely the court would stop you from being evicted, but you may be entitled to monetary compensation in some situations.

NOTE: This area of the law is very complicated. You should get legal advice from a lawyer or legal clinic. For information on getting legal help, see the Legal Resources section of this web site.
