Thanks everyone, my kids will probably not move here until they are over 18 and no longer under joint custody with my ex husband, although they were included in my application as dependents but they were listed as non accompanying but was medically examined so that i can sponsor them in the future should they wish to move here later. Currently they are happier back home.
but for those with accompanying dependents, they would only process COPR of those present only so yes copy of COPR is important. until u get your pr card, it will be the only prove of u as a PR for your SIN, bank, medical apps. am leaving in 3 weeks so hubby will keep my pr, sin and med card as he is coming back next june to pick me up for good.
Oh ye canada, why art thou freezing me bumsie off, making me lazy to go outside and make sin card
But yes, it's a nice weather to chill out and sleep in during the holidays 8)...jingle bells!!!
