guys , I just saw on the document checklist that says "Leave documents unbound". are we not allowed to staple the papers together? For example a certain form which has many pages should not be stapled? Did anyone staple them together and sent without problem? I already have printed out and many relevant papers are attached to each other !! :(
Its always a good idea not to staple documents. But I used paper clips to hold the documents together. This way they can easily remove the pin and separate the pages if they want.

Guys living in and around GTA, if you are looking for medical clinic for medical test I recommend http://www.imemed.ca/ (its in Kitchener, max. 2 hrs drive from GTA)

They are really fast and you dont have to wait. I got appointment on the same day (yestreday) and was told that they will send report to CIC withing 3 business days, i.e., before Tuesday. Moreover it cheap, little less than 188 for everything including everything.

For some trasnlated documents, if I dont attach the original to the translated page, it would be impossible for the officer to recognize which is for which. Is it ok if I staple those?

HAS anybody stapled some of the papers together without any problem?

Thanks,

guys in Schedule 3 , Question 11, should the Settlement funds be similar to Assets? (I have no liabilities)
You can put exactly same amount or round it off. Like I had $15,531 in my bank letter but in the form I just put 15,000.

Dear All,

My application for PR under the PhD stream was received by CIO on June 9th, 2014. My CC was charged yesterday Sept 25th by CIC in Sydney, NS. Does anybody know what would be the next step? How long does it take to get the PER email after CC is charged?

Thanks a lot,

PP84

guys in the guideline for mailing it says for the PhD category we should send it to :

Centralized Intake Office
PO BOX 8300
Sydney, NS
B1P 0B6
Canada

But on the CIC page this address is not mentioned among case procesing centers (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/canada/sydney.asp)

Is the above address correct?

In my letter of attestation, they have put a partially abbreviated version of my name (like part of the first name and part of the family name) . I have a very long name! Do you think this could cause problem?
