**DECEMBER 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS**

[daviddc]

I got good news today getting a request to pay RPRF (Right of Permanent Residence Fee). We made the payment but we have some doubts about the submission of the payment. The email says:

Dear applicant,
We find that the payment of charges for the right of permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) has not yet been made
by your sponsor.
Your sponsor in Canada must contact Citizenship and Immigration Canada's Case Processing Centre (CPC) in
Mississauga, Ontario to pay the Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) to that office. The CPC will advise
our office directly once the fee has been paid; accordingly, do not submit the RPRF payment, or proof of
payment, to this office.

Payment can be made as follows:
1) Make online payment of the RPRF to the CPC in Mississauga at
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/index.asp
2) Submit proof of payment to CPC-M online at
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/relatives-apply-after.asp
Or by mail, CPC-Mississauga C.P. 6100, poste A Mississauga (Ontario) L5A 4H4
​

Following the link I have to answer a few questions and choose the visa office processing my application. If I answer the question I would have to say Paris, but the email asks me very clearly to send the proof of payment to CPC - Missisauga. Has anyone done this already?

Everything worked ok. Just in case someone has the same doubt in the future, I will say that in the form I chose my VO (Paris in my case) and though I didn't get any confirmation that they got the receipt, my status changed a couple days after to Decision Made (Finally!).
Now I will have to wait for PPR and most probably I will have to take the medical exam again since the previous has expired.

Stay strong people, I think that the 1 year mark is where things are going to start to move for many of the people that are still waiting.

Off topic: I've been calling CIC this last days and I discover that you can check your status the same as in My CIC, but in the recording they will tell you about the approximate waiting time for your application and the date of submission of the application that they are currently processing (in my case 14 months wait and processing applications of October 2016) . I find it can be quite calming to have that info, specially when months go by without having any news.

To keep you all updated. I was not requested for either my passport or the medical exam. European countries are exempted of a landing visa, so I had no need to send my passport to the embassy for that. As far as I understand the medical exam is good for a year, and mine has exceeded that, but still I didn't have to do it again. My COPR is good until November.

I also received an email telling me that I have access to some pre-arrival services. As everyone will have that option too, I will tell you my experience. I have been before in Canada, and though I don't have working experience in my profession there, I looked for jobs and I know the industry and the companies. My english is not perfect , but it is far from basic, I know how to make a canadian CV and I not bringing kids with me. With all that, the people that I contacted were not very able to help me, I guess that because they are more focused in helping people that doesn't speak the language correctly, those that are going to need to take courses to adapt their careers, those with kids that need to look for schools, etc. I was expecting a kind of mentor and I got a little disappointed. If someone else uses this services, don't approach them with unrealistic expectations like me.

PS. Hope everyone's applications are solved soon. I know that the wait is very hard. Hugs and strength!

Guys, I now have my PR and I am in Quebec....I also have my driver's license there as well. Can I move to Ontario ? I have issues with my wife, started after 3 months of landing and she took my name off the lease. Now to apply for health card in quebec , they asked for a lease with my name on it which i do not have. Can I just move to Ontario before doing my health card in quebec ?
