Just bring funds in combination of Bank Draft, Travellers cheque & Cash. And bring at least the minimum required; I would bring a little bit more to make sure you're not "border line".

Thank you Baloo, for the tip. Certainly safer than leaving a forwarding address at a hotel. Additionally, The UPS Store is excellent for receiving ALL mails & parcels especially during the initial months when your address is not so certain. One quick question. How do you subscribe to a mail...

OK, do not wait for application pack to be returned. It may take a long long time. So submit a fresh application. Go for it!!!

Totally agree!!! So GO GO GO prepare & resit IELTS.

You've done your part on asking them for readiness date. Or just try sending courier 3 days later. Good luck

tvm, go check out this website for IELTS preparation. http://www.ielts-blog.com/ I used spent some time and found it certainly helps!!! But you must re-evaluate which of the 4 skills you need to focus and improve. They are not looking for "queen's english"! Best wishes!

Sorry to hear this. Since you know clearly the reasons, do quickly correct and resubmit. I am not sure which way is the better one: (a) Completely fresh application OR (b) Reply to letter but with corrected application form explaining error in NOC code (and apologise too). Perhaps some...

Same as you..... waiting for good news! (I went to KL VO to drop off my PCC last week)

Please refer to CIC guide for IELTS score calculation: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EG72.asp Total possible points from IELTS are 4 x 4 = 16 points. So since you got 10 points, you must have dropped 6 points. An example of how one may have obtained 10 points...

Hi KLBee I went to Wisma Putra personally and got the PCC out same day; waiting for UK PCC to arrive anytime. Then submit. Watch out for the 60days deadline. No idea how reliable is the mail service from Wisma Putra, that's why I took the trouble to go in person. Good luck!

Hi KLBee, I e-mailed to KL VO explaining my case but NO reply. So I've taken the trouble to reapply. Just get it and close the case!! Good Luck.

Please read the section "Official Language Testing" fully and properly, in the Guide 7000. IELTS will test YOUR proficiency in the 2 official Canadian languages, ie English and/or French. So if you submit only IELTS scores, you will be given points for English as the "first official...

My eCAS says "we are not able to identify you ....". Has been like this around time when I received my medical letter [about 1 week ago]. Strange..??? :o :o :'( :'(

Hi Rana, Thanks for your detailed reply. My answer to your questions are as follows: (1) VO gave 60 days from date on letter (2) Medical letter will have instruction and a list of DMPs for you to choose from. (3) I intend to e-mail VO after I have done medical, for their information. VO...

I am rather "confused" on PCCs. Here's my case: July 2010: Obtained PCC Aug 2010: Submitted complete application to CIO, as per their requirements at that time, which was to give a photocopy of VO Checklist documents [so PCC photocopy was attached] Note: CIC's requirement for PCC at my...

Thanks rocky272727. You're the 2nd person on the forum I've come across that said Scotiabank is good. Will seriously look into this.

Dear Admin, Just received letter for medical with forms today. Letter dated April 5, 2011. Quick question: I was also asked to submit Police certificates. I have originals dated July 2010. Would these be still valid?? Regards

CarribRN, explorer101, great feedback. Makes sense to ask to speak to the specialist. For me, I've already got in touch with RBC via e-mail and asked to open an account from current home country, ie before landing. A Senior Manager, Non-Resident from Toronto main branch contacted me with some...

Baloo, Leon, chrimano, thanks for the feedback! Baloo, my understanding is that the "secured" credit card will, over time become "unsecured" as you build up your credit history over 1-2 years. Deposit used to secure the credit card will then be released. Leon, you're smart, not cheap...
