This message contains important information regarding the continued processing of your application.
No additional documents are required at this time.
Medical forms and instructions will be mailed to you within the next several weeks. Do not enquire if you do not receive them immediately. Please proceed with your medical examinations as soon as possible after you have received the forms and provide proof that you have completed the medical examinations.

Right of Permanent Residence Fee
Every principal applicant, spouse or common law partner is required to pay a Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF).
The amount of the RPRF is $490.00 CAD (or $490.00 USD) .
If you have not already paid the RPRF, you may do so at this time.
The RPRF must be submitted in the form of a money order, certified cheque or bank draft payable to the "Canadian Consulate General".
The RPRF will be refunded if for any reason you do not immigrate to Canada.
Change of address
It is imperative that you inform the Detroit office of any change in your mailing address.
Note: Do not use the CIC e-Cas on-line Change of address system. Your new address will not be downloaded to your file in Detroit.
Change in family status
You must notify us of any birth, marriage, engagement, divorce, death, or any other significant change in your marital or family composition. You can do so by email, mail or fax. Failure to advise us of these changes could result in delays in processing and possible refusal of your application.
