But this one should be a shorter one, and also with some more direct information for those looking for advice or insight on making the move. This is the bread and butter, folks--the fascinating world of insurance and taxes. Without further ado, here is how I spent my first 30 days as a PR in the Great White North!
Hey. I want to apologize to you, reader, because in my previous posts, I haven't exactly followed my own advice: I have tended to be long-winded. I know, I know. But hey, we were going over important stuff! You know, like people being confused about King Charles being on money, and the travesty to society that is pepperoni under the cheese on pizza.

A few months ago, when Sydney and I filed our application for Permanent Residence, I decided to give a sneak preview of what the process was like. I posted a series of videos about all the things we had to submit. I promised that I would come to the blog and give a more broad rundown of that process, and one day (hopefully soon) I will, but it's not over just yet! For now, I'm going to go through the individual steps of the process more thoroughly. This post will be more detailed than most, as I explain my experience with Canada's medical exam process, My hope is to reach some other folks out there who may also be going through it and are looking for guidance. For TL;DR head to the "Final thoughts" section.
One of the many universal immigration steps is the immigration medical exam, or IME. I wasn't able to find a list of what countries do and do not require a medical exam in order to move there, but I have to assume that it's a pretty good number of them. A Google search found that they were required by at least most of the big guys: China, India, (recently) Russia, the United Kingdom, and all the countries on the eMedical platform (a consortium and online program that stores immigrant medical data), including the United States, Australia, and of course, Canada. |
