Hi all, I just wanted to let everyone know that one CAN, in fact, land at the CIC-Ottawa even one does not reside in Ottawa. I landed successfully on December 22. Everything went very smoothly and took about half an hour. If you decide to land in Ottawa, remember to bring your: 1) passport...

Hi Ottawa-applicant, I called CIC in the morning and they said that there is no restriction on what CIC Center one can land in. They said I should be fine if I choose to go up to Ottawa. Will give it a shot next week. Fingers crossed! Many thanks!

Hi Ottawa-applicant, Thank you for posting this! It's most helpful. Do you by any chance know if the CIC Center in Ottawa accepts only those PR applicants residing in Ottawa? I am in Toronto and thinking about coming up to Ottawa for landing. Many thanks!

Hi all, Does anyone know where I could find a list of documents I am required to present when landing at a border? I will have my passport, the CoPR, obviously, but what do I need?

Hi all, Quick question for those who have already mailed their passport to Ottawa. What envelops are you using to send your passport and what envelopes are you enclosing for Ottawa to send you your passports back? Instructions in the PPR email do not specify sizes and only say that the...

Hi strega123, I am not sure about second review, but if I were you, I wouldn't worry too much. If there had been something wrong with your medical exam, you doctor would have let you know or you would have heard from CIC. There are many people here who applied in May/June/July/August and have...

Got it! Thank you for sharing, this is most helpful!

Hi harora33, Congratulations on your PPR! I was wondering, how wide is the window for sending your passport to Ottawa? Did CIC tell you something like, you have 30 days to mail your passport to us? Thank you!

Hi guys, Can anyone please tell me how to find out when a file was received by Ottawa? Is it somewhere in the GCMS notes? Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi all, Seeing that the processing of our applications is taking longer than anticipated, I was going over the application guide (I printed it out a while ago, when I first started gathering documents for my application, about 1.5 years ago, so I do not know if the guide is still available...

I am not sure how exactly the MP's office contacted CIC. The lovely MP's assistant I was on the phone with said that "they spoke with CIC". She also added that, if I remember correctly, my security assessment is in progress, and my background check (not sure what the difference is) has not...

Hi all, I am a June 13th applicant. Like a lot of people here, I received a request for and did my medical exam in February, and since then there has been nothing but silence. A couple of weeks ago, I got in touch with my MP's office and asked them to, please, talk to CIC and see what the...

Hi Nick, Just to confirm, I send a copy of my RPRF receipt to CPCO-Cost-Recovery.CTDO-Recouvrement-frais@cic.gc.ca and CPPO-Cost-Recovery@cic.gc.ca, right? Thanks a bunch!

Thank you Nick! I'll try to pay now.

Hi Kothem, You have already paid your RPRF, right? I was wondering if you could tell me if, when I pay the fee online, I need to be connected to a printer? Or can I pay, save the receipt, and print it out later? Thank you!

Thank you!

Hi Kothem, What email address did you use? Did you send your email to CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca?

Hi all, Does anyone know what number we should call if we want to inquire about our applications? I went to the CIC website, and it said: "If it has been longer than the time shown above since you applied and your visa office has not contacted you, you may wish to contact the visa office that...
