Wow! Does such a glitch show inefficiencies is their functioning? They can also be so overworked with all this backlog.Guys need urgent advice. My AOR was on 02.08.2018 and I got my PPR mail on 22.03.2019. The problem is the I had not paid RPRF fees upfront and CIC has still not raised the request for the same. Should I send my passport for stamping directly or raise a CSE? . I think this is very unusual. Should I be worried?
My first reaction would be to tell you not to pay as it's their job to ask for it. But then on a second thought, it's a fresh start in a new country, better to keep things clean. Not paying it should not be the sore point in your application, say tomorrow you decide to apply for citizenship. So go ahead and pay it and upload the receipt.
