    Reapply or wait for expiry of PR

    Was this an Application in which your Husband applied for PR under Skilled Workers with you and your children accompanying him?

    Passport Request, is it only for approved visa?

    With some other Visa offices such as CHC-London they don't request your passport until you are at the end of the process! My file was opened 15 July and decision made 22nd August, PPR was 26th August, Visa Issue date is 26th August and I landed on 29 Sept.. So each visa office is different...

    Banks in Canada

    I have an account with RBC, In my experience they are a really good bank, and very helpful..they also have a "Welcome to Canada" package for New Immigrants to Canada.
