I have read some horror stories regarding Wind. Its looks attractive but the service is something else. # Why not try Fido. Cheaper than most. I have prepaid service $10 a month and you pay 10 cents a minutes for incoming/outgoing calls and 10 cents for outgoing texts in Canada and abroad...

On paper this looks possible, but in reality its not so straightforward. As newtone said, CIC is not stupid. If you came to Canada as a visitor I assume US visitors get 6 months visitors stay. You apply to extend and they will probably give you a 3 month extension rather than 6 months. After...

So all those who are yet to arrive in Canada, do you know what part of Canada you will be coming too. And how much do you know about that part of Canada?

Hi, this thread has potential! I have recently arrived in Canada from the UK. It would be nice to know others in a similar situation. I assume that since this is the family class forum everyone in this thread is or will be coming to Canada as a spouse/partner.

I landed as a Permanent Resident last month and I applied and gained my SIN number within the first week. Just carry your COPR and your foreign passport to your nearest Service Canada centre. It doesn't take long and they will give you your SIN number on a printed sheet. The SIN card itself will...

Okay, you have your PR visa stamp in your passport and you are flying out to land in Canada as a new Permanent Resident. My question is, do you buy a one way ticket or a return ticket. The reason I ask is that I have been checking flights from the UK to Canada and it seems as if it is cheaper to...

Thanks a lot everyone for your help. I panic about every step with this!

Thanks Charlie. I am applying at the London CHC if that helps. So in Jamaica at least, if I understand you, the Canadian Embassy use a courier service to return passports and you pay the courier service when they deliver the passport to you?

In my experience it was just over a month so PMM got it approximately correct. They will notify the sponsor of the decision.

Sorry, this might be a dumb question. When you get your PPR request, the CHC asks you to submit a self addressed envelope amongst other things. Does this have to be a stamped self addressed envelope or do they pay for postage? And if the CHC does pay for postage, is this any special type of...

Thanks for the replies. This has been very helpful.

I need to make a payment to the CHC London via bankers draft/cheque in Canadian currency. I have never done this before. Can anyone advise me how do I go about it?

What an amazing story. I wish you and your partner all the best!

Hi, could you please confirm whether you faxed fingerprints file to RCMP. And how did you present yourself to RCMP local office if you were in London, UK (I assume you meant London, UK). Or did you present yourself in Canada before you came to London?

Thanks to all. This is a very informative thread.

Could you please explain what receipt you are talking about? Has your sponsorship application been approved?

Yes, you would have to include an ARC application with the forms for a chance to overturn exclusion order. On the other hand, Feb 2011 is just over eight months away. It might take that long just to complete sponsorship/PR application.

I was told at POE that even if sponsorship/PR is approved, you have to wait until exclusion order expires before you can enter Canada.

The Sponsor's Guide to sponsorship a spouse, etc. (from outside Canada) states among other things, you may be ineligible to sponsor if: you are in receipt of social assistance for a reason other than disability. Seems to be a case of different tenses between the guide and the website. It seems...

1. If you are in Canada, and he is in Mexico, then you send application to Mississauga. 2. I don't know average times. It varies according to the various visa offices worldwide. 3. If you are doing outland application, if an interview is required, it will be in Mexico. 4. Not sure. Once he...
