Our entry deadline is 10th Nov and I'll be landing on 5th Oct. Spouse and kid will be landing on 5th Nov. What are the safest and best possible ways to show proof of funds? Both during my initial landing and during wife's subsequent landing. We are bouncing around various ideas in our head...

Well Pretoria VO allows officially for people to visit 1st Tuesday of every month. For whatever application reasons... so in the queue were EE people, refugees etc etc. all there to query or apply fresh etc.

Will check her eligibility. They are functioning on practically zero English, so I doubt they qualify. Anyway, thanks for your input.

We know a hairdresser who wants to immigrate to Canada but her English skills are almost nil. Since she has been requesting us for advice, I want to find out what her chances are. Does everybody need to give IELTS no matter what category?

Guys... whoever has local VO in their own country, for eg. NDVO, ADVO etc., go physically over there and bug them! Several times! That is what worked for me and a bunch of other South Africans here. Thankfully I didn't have to go too many times though. In Pretoria they only agree to see people...

That's great to know! +1

Interesting thread. I really do hope that US experience helps make us look more attractive to Canadian employers. After all we are already familiar with North American work culture. Only thing is, my US work experience was from 2003 until 2009. Since 2009 I've been living and working in South...

They told us that an officer had become so sick that she had to retire. And this apparently delayed the processing. I don't know why another officer didn't simply pick it up. There are 3 officers operating in Pretoria apparently. Anyway, since a lot of us went on the first Tuesday in July, they...

Thank you :)

Such a weird feeling.. after waiting more than 8 months... feels like a broken run down car has suddenly transformed into a rocket. ;D There are people on this 6 months thread we keep in our prayers and minds even if we don't know them in person. As and when you guys get RFV we would be...

Got the PPR today suddenly. I still can't believe it. We went and bugged them twice at Pretoria VO but I still wasn't confident that we will get it so soon. I was actually pretty much sure that we will have to go bug them again next month. But basically, bugging them twice seems to have worked...

Congrats guys hopefully all of us pending get cleared soon

Lucky you! :P Congrats, bud.

If that is the case, then both my wife and I are in the 0.3%. I seriously doubt if that percentage is true. :)

Really, that's the only way. Or... lose all interest in it like I'm starting to do.

Congrats!! So it took you a little under 8 months from AOR... We are also at that mark. Will cross 8 months on the 11th of July. Problem is that we are stuck with an absolutely useless VO.
