AINP FSW BACKLOG REDUCTION PILOT

[usma]

Hi Usma,

I'm new here on your thread but I'm part of the Ontario FSW backlog reduction pilot thread. Congratulations on your PPR! Checking the processing time of London, it's great that it only took 1 year for your application to be processed. In the processing time for London, it says 27 months.

Congrats again and goodluck on your new life in Canada! 8)

Tutut thanks for best wishes. Yes i am satisfied from my timelines, it was fast, hope you also receive MR from Singapore soon.

From what the customs officer said, it appears there is a limit of $10,000 cash per adult landing. If you're bringing $20,000,it is advisable to split it between you and your spouse $10,000 each.
The cancellation of the visa was done on the visa and a stamp on the opposit page. I think oneage should do.

Ofonzo, at another forum it has been told that 10 thousand dollar limit is for visitors and not for immigrants. He supported his information with that even an adult FSW immigrant has fund requirement of 11000 dollars, whats your comments please.

Hi, anyone moving to Alberta, check the link below for drivers license. Question is whether we still need international driving license and NOC from Pakistan.....

Different figures for different categories, 10000 Dollar is for provincial nominee and 11000 dollars (may be now it is increase, i am not sure) for FSW.

USMA,

Thanks for reminding me. The most important particulars to pursue after landing is your PR Card,SIN card, Alberta health card and bank accounts.
Permanent Resident Card
This is sent automatically to your landing address (address you provided to immigration on your landing card at the airport). It now takes 70days. You can update your address after landing on the CIC website.

SIN Cards
I had to go to Service Canada at the executive one building near the McMahon stadium. When I got there, there were several people, I believe it was because of the holiday period, I was told I would have to wait for two hours on the queue but it took about 50 minutes for us to b attended to, I was given a form to fill to provide the names of my parents and my date of birth, my wife also had to fill a form. We also provided our cOPR and passports for official's review.The SIN numbers were generated and print outs handed to us, SIN numbers were generated for the kids as well. SIN cards will be sent to our address within 14 days.

Alberta Health Insurance
We went to a registry in Lions Park Mall, the personnel said we had to provide 2 pieces of ID ( passport, drivers license), COPR and a lease agreement for our current address, we are staying at a friend's place and did not have a lease agreement. So we couldn't register there. The next day we went to a registry in NE, registry personnel also asked for a lease agreement, utility bill to indicate our residence, w didn't have either.
Just when I was given up,I got in contact with Zajeb (on this forum) and he said there was a registry in NE that don't require any utility bill, the registry is somewhere in Panorama NE, I went there and I got the Alberta health forms, received and approved. The young lady said the cards will be ready within a week.

I haven't opened a bank account yet, I am still scouting around at what they all have to offer.I will share that information later.

Regards




Albert

Thanks, very beneficial information.+1 for you. Best of luck for further steps. Does we have to update our address on ECAS?

Hi

I want to know which VO the CIC went by to assign your files to? and whether was it the same one as indicate on your nomination by the province or the one which you indicated on your application - if different - or the CIC decided by themselves?

 

[usma]

Dear Forum Members,

An applicant which gets visa and lands at Canada, Is still he/she needs educational credential assessment, how much its requirements or for a landed person not so much worthy? What are your comments? I mean if it is beneficial then we should get this before landing.

Alhamdulillah, PPR2 Received. Wish you all good luck for speedy process of your applications.
