Hi Every body , i'm new to this forum !
i have been asked to do the MR and pay the landing fees and submit new PCC(police clearance certificate ) & schedule 1, IMM8. I will have to apply two different PCC from two different western countries within a month , my query is , do i have to submit those PCC again as i have already submitted in OCT 2009 , i have sent few emails requesting some assistance , but no reply from CHC. i have done the MR but cannot proceed with the rest , as I will not get those PCC before the due date.

thanks in advance

Hi Tharakah, Await & those who went through final phases

Are there any more hurdles to go through after MR and the payment! is there a dead line date which you have to leave SL, once you get stamped? I have applied for my spouse and kids as well, do they have to accompany me or can they come after I settle down. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
cheers

Hi Bundoora,

In my opinion, if you have reached medicals your 90% there. There is a deadline for landing. Its 1 year from date of medicals or passport expiry of anyone in your application, whichever comes first. You (PI) can land first or along with spouse and kids. There is no problems in your family joining later as long as they are within the stipulated deadline. Hope the info is helpful, All the best.

Hi Tharakah,

If all goes well hoping to land early September. Need to attend to a lot of stuff in SL before leaving, so nothing is really finalized. Let me know when your hoping to land. Also any luck with getting decent air fairs? I'm trying to make reservations early so that seats can be cleared in a lower booking class. Will PM when I have pricing. Keep in touch.

I have already booked my ticket. I going late July. Best fare Ive got is from Sri Lankan through London. Im going to Land in Ottawa. The price Ive got was Rs.93399/- (Approx 747USD) one way. Since you are planning to go to Toronto there may other airlines offering lesser rates. Check this site for your information. (http://www.cheaptickets.sg/) I use this all the time since I travel a lot. You should be able to buy the ticket 801USD or less. Indian airline offer lesser rates but it has two transits.

Hi Marvik
Sorry to hear that. Did you do your medicals? or did you send in your bank draft with you full docs?

Hi marvik,

I had a similar issue. I sent the Bank DD along with the full docs. However they requested payment again with my medicals. I had ordered CAIPS and in that it showed that the payment was received and it is in the system. So we just explained the same by email, which they acknowledged. In my opinion, you should get your medicals within a month or so. However if you are worried or have any doubts, consider ordering CAIPS.

Anyway all the best for a speedy process, fingers crossed ;-)

Dear Friends

I couldn' t participate the forum for about 8 months. I received the PR and i went to canada and these days i am back in srilanka to attend my sisters wedding and other personal arrangements. I will be going back in last week of may 2012. I didnt apply for the jobs during my short stay but applied to canadian colleges through ontariocolleges.ca since canadian qualification is very much a plus point there
i am a IT and legal professional here but i hope to continue my carrier as a paralegal there. Till such time i try to find a IT job. If i find a rewarding job i will continue in IT. But thats future !
For me the country is very good govenment is very responsible and people are careing. Very much supportive to the to the children and woman and disabled persons. Forward thinking society respect each other . Multi cultural .
Downside may be the extreme weather .Expect the canadian experience for jobs. Long path to get the licence for professionals etc
But overall i think canada is a very good country
