[Evergreen_3034]

Hi there i just order my gcms note how to pay fee for that i sublit online and didnt get any option how to pay fee

Hi, if you order your GCMS notes yourself (and if you are in Canada), the notes are free.
If someone else orders them (such as your representative or sponsor), then there is a fee to pay.

Yes, go online to renew a driver's licence. They will send the new one to your home.

Final update - had my landing interview today. It was a very quick, completely painless experience. And hey, I'm a PR now! Good luck to you all on your journey - this forum was super helpful for me throughout this process, and I hope to still be helpful wherever I can be.

Cheers!

I'm British - been in Canada since I was 18, so I likely had a quicker background check than most too.
