I was asked to pay my RPRF fee and a police check in August 2014 and was again asked to fill the personal history form from when I turned 18 till today in January 2015. hope that helps

Hi there I wanted to find out if it is possible to arrive in Canada on a visitor visa and change it later to a student visa

On the visa application forms there is no questions asking if you have stayed illegally in any country before so how do you inform CIC? I still strongly believe her illegal stay is not an issue if she don't have any previous criminal record in the US. Like others said before work more on your...

But looking at the spreadsheet I can see PPR until this month of October, I know requesting for additional documents sets me back like a month but the wait time is getting longer. :( :( :(

Hi guys I was carefully checking the spreadsheet for manila applicants and realized that most of the people who were requested for additional documents got their passport request the same day. My case is different because i was requested for additional documents(RFPR fess and police check)...
