Costco was by far the cheapest available option for me. $8 for each set of two photos vs. over $20 at Walmart.

I took the TOEFL while on vacation in NYC because it was so much cheaper there than in my home country. Taking the test while on visitor status should not be an issue at all.

Why are you instructing people to send fax to the Marine Institute? Nobody in this thread has said that they've applied for programs offered by MI. See the fax number here - if you fax anything about MUN admissions to this number, you most likely will not receive a response as the main campus of...

Hi SchnookoLoly - I posted about receiving my COPR earlier, but the post must've gotten lost among others as I don't see the update on the spreadsheet. I received my COPR on January 27th. LVO had initially sent it out on December 14th, before I even got DM, but used an address I haven't lived in...

I had no trouble getting a study permit for a second bachelors degree. I'm from a visa exempt country though, which might have an effect.

Your visa office was Abu Dhabi. I was talking about COPR's sent by London Visa Office.

LVO has been terrible with COPRs lately, it's taken weeks and weeks after DM for quite a few people to get them. Have you tried sending an email to LVO, marking it as urgent? The COPR will be delivered as registered mail, so you'll have to sign for it. We weren't home when mine was attempted to...

Clearly CIC assumes that all outland applicants currently reside in their country of citizenship. You'll realize this when you actually look at some of the instruction guides. What about those who applied outland but are already in Canada? There are no instructions for Canada. Then the only...

Update for the spreadsheet: Almost 6 weeks after DM, and I finally have my COPR! It only took a week to travel from London to Newfoundland once LVO actually managed to send it to the correct address. My country of residence, marital status and date of last entry to Canada are all incorrect in...

1. I disagree - you should use the instructions for your country of citizenship. 2. It doesn't matter where you get your medical done.

JULESB82 - Is there any possibility that CIC/LVO might have more than one address in file for you? Have you applied for anything through LVO before this PR application? I'm asking because LVO recently sent my COPR to the address I was living at when I applied for a study permit in 2013...

Would they give you a BC license if you went and took the written and road tests? I understand it's not something you'd want to do, but if it would get you the proper BC license before your trip, it's maybe something to consider.

What about the PR card? Doesn't the person landing need to provide a Canadian address that the PR card can be sent to, and then on their subsequent return to Canada, either have the PR card or a PR travel document with them in order to enter Canada? (Unless crossing the border in a private car...

You can also double check that you used the most recent versions of all of the forms, and had the photos taken according to the updated specifications.

LVO sure is mysterious, since they did the exact opposite for me - my address was always correct on ECAS, and I haven't moved since applying, but LVO decided to send the COPR to the address I lived in over 2 years ago when I applied for a study permit through them. I will never understand how...

I'm sure it was a CIC error of some sort, yeah. I just thought it was an interesting situation, as I had never heard of CIC giving an OWP to someone who was not eligible for it. In any case, I won't be applying for any kind of work permit anymore, as I currently have one and will probably be...

Good for him and that's really interesting, I thought outland applicants weren't even eligible for an OWP, regardless of if they lived in Canada or not!

He got the OWP as an outland applicant?

There's no way that I know of to call them from outside Canada (and the call centre has no information about cases processed outside Canada anyway). You'll need to send a case specific enquiry or an email. A link to the correct case specific enquiry form can be found on the visa office's...

Does anyone know if LVO wants a prepaid envelope, or is a regular envelope with just my address on it (no stamps or anything) fine? I'd send a Canada Post prepaid envelope with tracking, but those are really expensive ($60+).
