I recently received my CoPR and I am currently planning my move. This question is mainly for those who have recently immigrated to Canada under FSW-O/EE. Is an original birth certificate needed at ANY point of the immigration journey, either during landing or subsequent settling down? For things...

The consultant I originally approached in Bangalore asked me to take their "technical assessment" for which I paid. It actually came back negative. According to them, I wouldn't be eligible to immigrate to Canada under FSW-EE. I then applied on my own. A year later I have my CoPR. And my work...

During the time you wait for your card in Canada, are you still technically a PR? Does not having a card limit you from having housing, employment or benefits? Most importantly, can you re-enter Canada if you travel abroad during this time? What document will you be holding to prove your status?

Thanks for sharing your experience. So, what was your status in Canada during those six months? Still a permanent resident but without a card? Does this affect anything like finding employment, housing, benefits etc.? Do you get any other documentation to prove that you are a PR? Most...

<Lots of people get new photo requests after landing regardless, so an older photo is a higher risk, even if it worked for some people.> Could you please explain this further? Do you mean during the interview at immigration or after entering Canada? If this happens at immigration, what are the...

I see that this question has been asked multiple times on this forum and I always saw conflicting replies, so asking for any recent experiences. After receiving PPR, do you have to submit your old, expired passports along with the current one? In my case: the old one expired in 2017 and the new...

Okay, makes sense. Thanks!

There could be many reasons why. Like a facial scar I am hoping would heal on time and my photo from January is a much better representation of me. You don't have to comment if you do not know the answer. I am looking for someone who had similar experiences and keen to know how it turned out...

After receiving PPR, when submitting passport, how recent should the photos be? My photo was taken in January 2019 and is obviously more than six months old because the process took a long time. Am I expected to submit freshly taken photos now? They can probably tell looking at my application...

Post PPR question: is it mandatory to maintain and show the SAME amount of funds in your account that you promised during your application? I am a single applicant and showed $14,500, when I needed to show only around $12,700. But when I purchase flight tickets and make other arrangements, I am...

thanks!

What proof do they require upon landing? A bank statement or money in some form?

I am a single applicant. I have to show minimum of $12,669 as POF. But while applying I showed availability of $14,500, more than I am required to. Now, I am regretting this because I need to use some of the money for my personal expenses (it's been a really long wait). It won't be much and I...

You can provide biometrics at any approved CVAC in the world. It does not have to be the same country. However, in my case, since I had time and the CVAC in the country I was travelling in did not have convenient dates, I just did it after coming back to my home city. Worst case, try writing to...

No, I just ended up putting it on my Letter of Explanation. I did not get an affidavit done. FYI, my application is still under process.

Is it better to query through the web-form or write an email directly to CPC? I had raised query on the status of my application last week through the web-form and received a somewhat generic response that I am not satisfied with. However, the response did reveal that my file is with CPC-Ottawa...

So, I raised a general query about the status of my application through the webform and the received the following reply today: <Your application is located at the Case Processing Centre in Ottawa, Ontario. The responsible office is currently reviewing the application and documents submitted...

Hi @Amrinder147 Congrats on your PPR! Did you pay your RPRF upfront? If not, when did they ask for it?

Ok, thanks!

Same here. I am waiting for updates/request to arrive. Haven't paid upfront.
