    Thanks! :) I did order the GCM notes and I saw it was clear that the officer almost approved my application, they mentioned explicitly that the reason for the updated POF was that the amount I submitted last year was little below than the minimum that is required this year. So I just...

    It is not visa, it is a travel document and it is only needed if you are flying in, but if you cross the border driving from USA the CPR is sufficient. Here is the information you need to get the travel document if you want to return before having your PR card...

    In my recent communication with Ottawa I was not getting the automatic confirmation e-mail as well, but they reply back after few days so I guess this is normal.

    This is a good suggestion, I will get some papers to show properties I have. I ordered the GCMS notes today, so hopefully to get it before the 45 days pass and see exactly what is there in the file. In this case, I won't withdraw my application since it won't save me anything,.

    I had around $5,000 only till April, but then I had almost nothing. My account now has less than $1,000. I can get/collect the money but if this will likely result in a rejection, I would prefer to withdraw my application to not lose my money. Will I get a full refund for the immigration fees...

    I received two separate e-mails from CPC-Ottawa today the first one asking for RCMP and proof of fund (6 months account activity); the second one asking for RPRF. Is it the norm? I thought that they only request RPRF with the medical or when submitting the passport. I do not have all the money...
