Hello All,
I submitted my Application to the Buffalo Office and they recieved it on the 28 April 2011,got my Aor(email) -7th September 2011, and i got a Reciept for my Draft with a file number on 21st Sept 2011. No Medical Yet and my previous employer got a call from the Buffalo Office, Confirming that i use to work there and My current Workplace didnt recieve any call yet. Wondering whats going on and does that happen often?
Thanks, A bit worried here..
::)

Hi Rossei,
You got you pr visa with single entry or with multiple entry .Plz update me. thanks
It's single-entry for both my wife and myself. Once you land, they will cross it out meaning that you won't need a Canadian Visa to enter again as a PR. But again, if you want to travel during the time from landing to getting PR Card, you will have to apply for a TRAVEL DOCUMENT (PR VISA ABROAD) which is NOT recommended.

Thanks mate. I don't think PR Visa is issued for such a long time i.e. 5 years. My passport is valid till 2014, my work permit is valid till 2013 and yet I got Single-Entry PR Visa valid for 10 months.

Hi guys
I am just about to submit my PR application to buffalo. But, I am having some problems regarding the application.
1. In the buffalo application checklist, it said to provide the proof of admission. I am comfused about that do I only need to send the photocopy of my post-graduate work permit as it shows admission for more than 1 year. Do I also need to send the photocopy of my previous study permits and the canada entry stamps as well.

2. Does all the photocpoies of the documents need to certified or just the photocopy of the documents will be good as its not mentioned anywhere to have certified photocopies of the documents.

3. Can I just make a one bank draft of 1040 (550 process fee +490 RPRF) for both the processing fee and RPRF.

waiting for the replies .......

1. U can give a photocopy of your study permit and your latest work permit.. If you have it just give it..
2. U dont need to certify any copies..
3. U pay only 550 processing fee now, u pay rprf when they request to you(normally when they request your passport)
