Montreal is generally really safe. I've been out and about past midnight a few times and never ran into so much as an unpleasant encounter. Of course it's summer, and people are generally out in the streets, but my experience has been good so far. Of course you do have to watch out for homeless...

Why wouldn't I get offended when they were clearly doing their best to be offensive? We're all adults here, I assume, and all responsible for the things we say and the way we behave. Everybody has been waiting for a long time, that doesn't give anyone the right to be disrespectful. We're...

Wow, some people on this forum are complete assholes. Typical Lebanese know-it-all attitude that always ends in failure. First, for the 100th time, I am FEMALE. Second, you know nothing about me to make any kind of judgement, and I'm not about to waste my time explaining anything to you. For...

Hey guys! I've been away for so long, it looks like some of you are finally getting happy news! That's great! I just wanted to stop by and tell you all about my landing experience, and my first month in Canada. The landing was incredibly smooth and easy. I was worried about the proof of...

Not taking more than $10000. Quebec's requirement for settlement funds is much lower than over provinces, so I will be taking somewhat more than the approximate $3000 they ask for. Can anyone confirm if they ask for the source of the funds and if copies of the checks received are enough?

All of my info is listed below my name to the left of the post. :)

Hey guys, Just a little update. I will be landing in Montreal on July 1st. I was busy these past few months with wrapping up work, saving up money and trying to get everything in order for the move. I will let you know how the landing process and everything that follows goes. Best of luck to...

Hey guys, I am landing in Montreal in 3 weeks, and I will be carrying more than enough cash with me to meet the POF requirements. My question is, however, will they ask me to prove that the money is mine and not borrowed from a family member? The money will be in payment for a project I just...

Well, I got my visa today. I handed in my passport on Tuesday morning, and they asked me to come pick it this afternoon, which I did. I just wanted to let you guys know that there were around 20 or so people at the embassy today getting their immigration visas. They are not all in the same...

Yeah I don't know what the EP code is either. I've only ever used my file number which begins with a B. As Ricoluna said, all of this info is in my profile info under my name on the left. It has also been posted a few times before in this thread already. Honestly I don't know how helpful any...

Thank you everyone! I had started to move on and make other plans, I didn't think this day would come. I hope this renews your hopes of getting some good news soon. I'm crossing my fingers for all you!

Guys!!!! I just received an email from the embassy telling me they are at the final stage of processing my file and asking me to drop my passport and two recent photographs at the embassy within 30 days. Here is what the email says: I can't believe it! I don't know if this means that I will...

Wow, you're so smart. Kif 3refet enno 3endi wasta? I guess everybody who is getting calls for their medicals long after the normal processing time has passed has somebody on the inside working for them. ::)

I don't know. I didn't do anything beyond sending them emails to inquire about my CSQ which had expired (I got it in 2009). They didn't even reply to my inquiries, they just called about the meds after a while.

Her medicals. I am female. :P

Hey yma981, how did you pay the RPRF fee? Also, I know it's a silly question, but did you try to follow up on your application now that it's been more than 6 months since you did your meds?

I don't know why they are not processing the files in order, but at least this means that the files are being processed. Hopefully they will start moving faster for everybody. I hope so, because getting a police certificate from the US is a pain in the ass (took me 8 months the 1st time around...

I was able to stop by the embassy today after all. Other than the papers for the Medical exams, they asked me to update some of my old documents, including the Police Certificate. They didn't specify if I should only get a new Lebanese Police Certificate, or new certificates from all countries...

Yes, it expired in April, so maybe that's why I need to re-fill some documents? I suppose I'll know more on Tuesday. I know about YMA, and I probably am following in his path, but hey, it's still an improvement. Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us! :)

Guys, I just got a call from the Canadian Embassy to stop by to complete some missing files (no idea what they could be as I thought they had everything) and to pick up my meds request. I thought I was hallucinating. ;D They wanted me to stop by tomorrow but I can't, so I'll be going on Tuesday...
