    Hi guys, Anyone has any experience dealing with the VFS office? I sent in my passport along with photos, proof of fee to VFS and a copy of the PPR email on Friday. It arrived at their office on Monday. I gave them a ring a few hours back to request a tracking number (Why they didn't email me...

    Hi guys, Just an FYI, there is a fee to using the VFS office. Most of you guys are probably aware of this, but I wasn't (and there was no mention of a specific fee payable to the VFS in the ppr email). The fee isn't too steep, around $35, but it is a bit annoying that this was not outlined in...

    Hi, Gurik is correct, it will only show the initial payment of 550 made. I did mine similar to yours, paid the 550 1st and waited for them to request the 490. Once they did, I paid it immediately and it did not reflect (Heck, even after getting my PPR the fee does not reflect). It probably has...

    The off campus expired and i had applied for a pgwp, this was the period in between issuing the pgwp and the expiry of the off campus work permit. I've been told that it's a bit of a grey area so, I got a tad unlucky.

    Also, just to clarify, I'm coming in as a CEC outland applicant, I'm just going to show the border officer the letter that I had used in my application stating that I do not need to show POF due to applying under CEC. This will suffice, correct?

    Hi guys, I have a query about landing and leaving Canada. I want to complete my landing as soon as I receive my stamped passport back from the embassy. I'm looking at going to Canada, completing the landing and hanging around there for two weeks or so. I understand that this will not give me...

    Hi, it had to do with work experience gained between off campus work permit and post graduate work experience. I had stated that I worked for 3 years in Canada (3 months was between off campus WP and PGWP) and it came back declined stating that the 3 month period isn't applicable and once the...

    Hi, I applied twice, the 1st time was in Jan (AOR 22nd, or there and there abouts) and I got rejected after BG went to IP2 due to Work Permit Issues (The rejection came around the end of April). I was a part of the forum at the time and was advised to re-apply and just correct the error. I then...

    Try contacting your LVO at 020 7004 6000. Otherwise, use google hangouts/gmail and call the CIC in Ottawa +1 613 944 4000 (for an agent: options 1,1,1,1,1 I think.) The second "1" will take you to 1-800 number on CIC website.

    Thanks mate, if they ask me to get another one, then that won't be the end of the world (although very inconvenient). As long as the application doesn't come back declined or incomplete, it's all good. I'm sitting at IP2 after getting a RPRF payment request 12 days ago, so any delays will just...

    Thanks, I believe the validity is six months, thus making the expiry date in about 14 days, hopefully I get the PPR before that. Thanks!

    Guys, question about the police clearance certificate, What happens if the police clearance expires after you submit your PR application but before the request PPR/issue COPR? Will they request a new one, reject the application or is it not applicable as it was valid at time of application?
