Darn it  , I wanted to hire a maid in St. Bart's. pinger.

Thanks for the inputs guys. I am waiting for the VAC official response to my question. VIP relates to "independence" so that the person can live within his/her home and not move to some nursing home etc. But I think "where that is" should not matter. I still live in my own home but I guess VAC needs the CMs to visit my house one time and that would become costly. Surely that need can easily taken care through technology using video and photos

VIP is for clients living in Canada to stay in their homes as long as they can. It is not a program for clients that decide to live outside of Canada.

It's like British vets who live in Canada. Their vet pension is frozen at the amount they leave Britain. They are not eligible for cost of living increases.

I know your not British but it's a comparison to your situation.

just me throwing it out here but my CM came to look at my old house and once again my new one to confirm the size of the house , yard , driveway and such before they could presses and continue my VIP . im thinking this my have something to do with this but im just guessing .

As most of you are aware, vets lose VIP if they move outside of Canada. Does anyone know the reason why? Its a benefit I want to get back but existing policy says I am no longer eligible. It doesn't make sense to me. Anyone else outside of Canada on here?
