I think I've got my answer. I found this on the Buffalo website: "Please note: All fees for Family Class applicants must be submitted to the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga, Ontario using an official fee receipt (IMM5401)." Looks like I don't have a choice. I have to pay through...

Would anyone happen to know a better way to contact Buffalo besides e-mail? I e-mailed them a week and a half ago and they haven't gotten back in touch, and I can't call them. I need to repay my son's PR fee but I'm not sure if I can pay it online or if I have to send it snail mail to Buffalo. I...

Congratulations QCSunshine!

I was wondering about the CAIPS notes, too. Is this something applicants need to have, or should have when landing?

Congratulations Quakingaspen on landing!!! :)

Thanks mommyk. I'm sure everything will workout fine. It's just frustrating because I feel like we're back to where we started. If Mississauga hadn't erroneously told us our son was citizenship eligible and refunded his PR fee we would be chugging along with the processing normally. Now we have...

Thanks Rjessome and Rinnerz (once again). My nerves a beginning to settle down concerning this matter. It seems pretty cut and dry. Our son clearly qualifies as a dependent child. Even adopted, he looks to be eligible for the excessive demand exemption (as well as myself apparently, although I...

My brother-in-law spoke with a good friend of his in Toronto who works for the CIC. He said that if our son was a blood relative there would be no question as to him getting an excessive demand exemption. However, he was not sure if that would apply to an adpoted child. He is looking into it and...

Congratulations Kerianne! Here's to a long and healthy life in Canada!

I hope CIC either finds your clearance or accepts the copy, Rinnerz. They really should since they lost it, but I know immigration doesn't always make the logical choice. Thanks again for all of your help. It looks as though we won't have an issue with PR. It does seem ridiculous that our son...

Thanks for all of the responses. We are trying to get confirmation on what Rinnerz posted, that dependant children of Canadian citizens are exempt from excessive burden decisions. I hoping for this, so we can pick up where we left off on the PR application. CIC kind of screwed us up by refunding...

I'm sorry you're having to go through this, Rinnerz. I hope everything gets sorted out. I received some bad news myself today. The CIC informed me last month that since my son was the dependant child of a Canadian citizen (my wife) he would be granted Canadian citizenship. They refunded us the...

Congratulations Sparkle! Let's hope it's smooth sailing from here for you. :)

Rinnerz, Thank you for your detailed reply! You pretty much answered all of my questions. My DMP wants 5 pics, although they can't seem to decide on the sizes (immigration or passport). I think waiting for a file number from Buffalo is the wise thing to do. I really wish I could have sent it...

Don't you love it when someone's misinformation ends up screwing you over? After seeing that the majority of applicants on this board had their medicals done prior to sending their applications, I contacted the DMP in my area again. I was originally told that I had to wait for Canadian...

Love-Buf-Wings, I have not received a letter or file number yet. Just the E-cas confirmation that Buffalo got my application. I thought that was the AOR. I'm a bit confused, too, but waiting patiently to hear or receive something.

Thanks Rinnerz! That does help. :)

I've noticed a few applicants have had the RCMP request a backround check and fingerprints. I'm assuming it's because they are already living in Canada, or they have lived in Canada in the past. I lived and worked in Ontario for a year in 1991. Is there a chance the RCMP would request a...

That helps a lot Treelover! Thanks for the info. I did not know about the contacting the RIV office 72 hours prior to landing. I appreciate the advice. Best of luck settling in Canada! :)

Congrats Treelover on landing! Sounds like it was a quick, but interesting experience. I have a quick question if you don't mind me asking. Was the car you imported a newer one? We will be importing 2 cars when we come over. One is a 2008, the other 2009. I'm just trying to estimate how much of...
