You really can pay ahead. There is a link on the website(http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/pay.asp) where you can pay for all sorts of fees. When you pay the applicable fees, just send the receipt via webform (CSE).in the enquiry box just explain that you have decided to pay the fee upfront. Note that that fee is fully refundable so no risk paying ahead. They will include it in your file.
Hi All,
While we look forward to receiving an update from CIC wondering how the initial settlement things could be managed post relocation to Canada.
Here is the list of important tasks to complete post movement to Canada that I believe would be useful for everyone plus the questions I have on my mind for quite some time.
Looking forward to have suggestions from members in the group
1. Getting a SIN no. : This is the most important thing to do once anyone arrives in Canada. Any updates what all documents are required to apply for a SIN no. apart from the copy of PR card (especially for people relocating from India to Canada on a PR) ?
2. Opening a bank account: Understand PR card and passport copy would suffice for opening a bank account. Please add if there are any additions to this list.
3. Renting an apartment: Typically lease agreements of 12 month period is the standard practice however not sure what documents are needed to rent an apartment. Is it just the PR copy or anything additional e.g. proof of funds, etc. ? (please mention documents required if moving without a job and as such no pay statements, no offer letter available for submission).
4. Canada Health Benefits: Registration in PHI plan needed to cover for basic medical and emergency treatment. Any suggestions around what all documents to be submitted with health insurance office?
5. Employment Opportunities: Any job portals or consultants to recommend for employment opportunities search?
6. Any advice w.r.t. funds movement?

Include all the details as you know it. They will send the notification to the consultant and of course he will notify you. CIC only sends email notifications to the registered email address. This (email add) can be changed though from MYCIC account if you know the login details.
You can always pay and inform the consultant afterwards. I honestly do not understand why they ask clients to delay that payment seeing that there is zero risk.
PR card is not needed to apply for SIN. COPR is fine. It can be done same as landing if you land in business hours of service Canada
Again PR card is not mandatory, you can use COPR. But SIN is mandatory.
From what I have heard landlords will ask for an offer letter if you have a job or else people show that they have funds. Some people offer more rent in advance but legally landlords can't demand more than 2 months rent.
I think at a minimum COPR and SIN would be needed
Most popular website is indeed.ca. Consultants depend on your field
That is fairly open question. You need to be a little bit more specific.
Well sometimes no news is better than a bad news. Been on these forums for 9 months already and I am sure I will be around for at least 3-4 more monthsThanks for your answer.
Looks like they just forgot my application
Two and a half months in criminality review....and I never even got a parking ticket
Its obvious from my notes that no one touched my application since R10 - Nov 30
Anyways, have you ordered notes? the only thing that you can do is to make sure that your job experience letter, POF, etc. are all in order and won't get review required. Other than eligibility, there is nothing that you can do except waiting and trust me wait won't be longer than 6 months.
Even I am waiting since Nov 30 for RPRF
You are not alone!! There is another person here in the same path who is waiting for RPRF since Dec too. We are the ones who will get RPRF when our application is approved!!! Which will be right towards the end!! I didn't pay RPRF so I will know that my application is getting some update.
Btw if you want to RPRF you can go here

Thank you. I hope you're right.Well sometimes no news is better than a bad news. Been on these forums for 9 months already and I am sure I will be around for at least 3-4 more months

I'm at 110 days now, will wait a bit longer before I order new notes as the agent told me the same thing last week- eligibility not yet started.
I would say it is the right time to order notes, because I am sure they start to do something after 2-3 months from aor. Just order notes to make sure 1- if your application is complete (you don't want to hear that one of the files didn't upload properly) 2- you are not review required
Guys, does anyone has any idea of the average time needed to check criminality and security separately?
Also, in which stage verification is done, like work, education etc?

I am not tracking my application that much. I login once a week on Saturday night to check, but that is mainly so that I don't miss any ADRs. As of last Saturday, its still in that so-called "IP1"
.I asked my friend who has worked in an embassy. Apparently, they ask from consulates about criminality and some consulates just don't care, so they take 3-4 months to reply. Some like Indian ones reply quickly I guess therefore we get an impression that it should be fast but not true for all countries.
