Hi,just wanted to pass this on,we came to the Island on my husbands work permit I`m on a work permit and can work anywhere but my Husband had to stay with his employer. we have 2 children 16 and 12 when we got here, 19 months ago. they had to have student permits. But what we were not told about is that our son the 16 could not get a SIN number this was painfull, a teenager who could not work. I tried everywhere and paid more money to immigration office to change his status but to no avail. The frustrating part is not being able to talk to anyone.
The company we paid alot of money to in the UK, Visa plus,did not tell us about this and it did`nt come up in my research.

We finally have our residency(happy Days):yes: so my son and daughter can both get work.
Hope this helps
Sherri
