TD/RBC where the ones that offered what i was after, clean website, internet banking, android etc etc. My friends currently in Vancouver do recommend TD over RBC just as you do, main reason they said (like you did) were more branches with longer opening hours, and less fees for the account, i...

Apologies if this has been covered before did some searches around the forum and couldn't find the answer I was looking for. Will be moving to Canada in January and one thing that I haven't been able to cover yet is how to start building my credit line / credit history in Canada. I lived in...

Hi, thanks for your reply! your timeline does make perfect sense! i mean, why on earth would they even request passport of everything isn't ready. Good that you could follow the progress online, in my case the person handling the E-updates is probably on vacation. The latest update i have online...

yeah, i'm hoping the issue date would be enough, my US licence was issued in 2009 by state of new york (prior licence to that was a state of hawaii licence issued in 2004). I contacted ICBC a while back, and they told me that they had a system where they could look up the US history if needed...

yes it was on the 18th November actually to be exact, so about 9 days now. Looked through the signature of people on this thread, and it seems that it takes 2-4 weeks to get the VISA after the passport request is issued, so hopefully any day now. I find it weird though that the application...

+1 For Vancouver. Vancouver late spring, summer and early fall is just perfect, good air, clean and perfect temperature. Dont like dealing with snow either, but i would like it on December 22-26 :) Wintertime is more gloomy, foggy, but all in a cozy good almost lord of the rings kind of way.

not trying to scam them, just wanted to let them know that i have "arrived" to start my 3 month period during this short week i am visiting Canada as soon as my PR documents are ready. In effect, landing, and signing up with address in Canada etc, then returning back here to finishing packing...

hello sing_tao, thanks, let me know, and good luck to you also!! tried the online status check, but its incredibly lagging, when i check my application status its still on "received application, which was back in Oct"

hmm, doubt that, doesn't make sense if they ask for the passport if not everything is ready, i mean they already had the copy from before so if they needed to check anything.

totally agree, in my case i already have a job and a house there, hence i am not listing them as urgent on my list. And my house came with an address.. So only issue might be the health card then (someone mentioned you have to reside for 3 months prior) how would they know though? Anyhow, the...

While my PR application is in its final stages, i am planning my first landing and what to do when i land. Planning to permanently settle mid 2014, but planning a short 1-2 week trip once the PR is done to get "settled" in Canada. Planned to schedule, and get the below points sorted, anything...

Anyone know how long it normally takes in HK from the time you send your passport in to the embassy in central, til you get your VISA? they have had my passport now for a week, bit annoying since i normally travel to china on the weekends, so kinda locked now in HK... Would only think they...

I sent my application in without police checks from 2 countries i previously lived in, they will ask for it later. Send your application in, and complete with the police checks later (or if) they actually require them. Same as medical, you can do it upfront, or when they ask for it.

thank you, very helpful information. Assuming this temporary COPR gives me the same right as the official card later on? meaning i can work, apply to a Canadian driver licence etc right?

Hi, got a PR application in progress estimated to be done in about 1-2 months. Here in my question, me and my wife/sponsor is currently working in Hong Kong. Once I get my PR status, can I alone enter Canada? We are planning to move there mid-2014, but I wanted to go for a week as soon as the PR...

Hi, i sent in my PR application a few weeks ago (family class) sent it in without the FBI criminal check document clearance (in fact was told so by the canadian embassy since it would take a long time for FBI to produce) Anyhow, i just got it in the mail, where do i send it? i dont have a case...

never mind, just an error on the website, worked now by replacing IP with www.cic.gc.ca wonder why they linked it like that.... specially since the actual IP is 207.219.111.92

Sent my PR application a few weeks ago, just wonder where and how to check status. Checking application status on line You can check the status of your application on-line by doing the following: 1. Go to Check application status on the CIC website. 2. Follow the instructions provided. this...

thank you that makes lots of sense. We do have a plan actually, and we are actually working here now in a similar job field we would do in Canada, makes total sense to mention this and be honest about it.

I had the same question, and i visited the Canadian Embassy here in Hong Kong. I spoke to a CIC rep over there who told me that i don't have to wait for the police checks before i send in my application. She told me to submit without the checks now, and then when i get them send them in. I am...
