Guys,

Received an AOR email from CIO as attached on this thread. Submitted the initial Application on April 30 and got CIO reply in Jun 4 thru email. Still haven't got the mail but I am already starting to collect all the documents needed to submit to London Visa Office ASAP.

Have some question regarding RPRF (London visa specific instruction does not indicate what they refer to as Fees while New Delhi already specifies that RPRF fee should be included). To all seniors in the forum, could you please advise if I will include already the RPRF in the full application?

Best Regards,

IDN

Dear Sir:



We have received your application for permanent residence in Canada in the Federal Skilled Worker Class on 1 May 2009.



The Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism issued instructions which were published in the Canada Gazette on 28 November 2008. These instructions specify that only applicants who have an offer of Arranged Employment, applicants who are legally residing in Canada for at least one year as a Temporary Foreign Worker, or an International Student, or applicants who have work experience in certain listed occupations are eligible to be processed in the Federal Skilled Worker class.



We have assessed your declared occupations against the list of eligible occupations identified by the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism and published in the Canada Gazette on 28 November 2008. Your application is being recommended for further assessment by a visa office. You are therefore requested to submit a full application to the following visa office:

Congrats and thanks for sharing this email with us
 
Congratulations. We received our AOR from London Office 3 weeks after submitting our documents to them. So you will be somewhere in that timescale too.
As far as I can gather, the medical request comes about 10 weeks after AOR.
 
gerry....thanks for your insight...i have question did you pay RPRF when you submitted your full application in London? Did you also fill up the additional form they require like the proof of funds and immigrant summary form?

regards

IDN
 
No, I did not pay RPRF yet.
C.I.C normally request it at a later stage in the process.
We sent in documents showing our proof of funds ( bank statements, etc ).
We did not fill in the two forms you mention, to tell the truth I only seen them on a website after we had submitted our supporting documents. I am not sure if they are part of the new process, or if it is I think they only appeared when London upgraded their website which was after we submitted our documents. a lot of the questions on the forms you mentioned are on the original application forms which we downloaded from C.I.C canada.
Dreamchaser also applied to London Office. He may be able to answer your question.

Dear CPA2CANADA
Congratulations. Hope your case becomes finally positive.

Some of the members of this forum also recieved notification to submit full application via email. That is good to process application faster.

But did CIC officially disclose in their website that they would correspond with the applicant via email ? If anybody can reply.

All the best.

If you read the IMM 008 Q. 17 where it says, if you put in your email address, you are authorizing CHC to send information to you that way (paraphrase)

CPA2CANADA, we are on the same boat and I'm also a CPA. I'm also asking if the fees in no. 13 of the visa office specific instructions refer to the RPRF. Unlike the instructions for india, it specifically says 'right of permanent residence fee'. In my instructions, it just says fees:

13. FEE PAYMENT
Consult the Fees section of our Web site or the Guide for Skilled Worker Applicants to calculate your fees. Payment may be made in ....... Payment must be by means of an international money order, certified cheque or bank draft, issued to you within 30 days of the date of your payment to us. It should be made payable to the “Canadian Embassy – ....

It did not say what kind of fees. I'll be watching this thread...
 
mom2karl,
the fee payment mentioned in no. 13 of checklist is the $550 application fee which i presumed you have paid to sydney. just attach the receipt sydney sent w/ the aor for proof of fee payment.
 
jtob/mom2karl...so that means we don't need to pay for the RPRF this time and wait for their advise...

another questions if you are kabayan, is it ok to submit DFA red ribboned "Diploma, Certificate of Graduation and Transcript"? I have all these in one package before because of a requirement in my Qatar Working Visa. I have seen in the london instruction..."TOR in a university sealed envelope"

please advise...
 
hello mga kababayan!

@jtob, i suppose it is the application fee. i will just attach the OR. thanks!

@cpa2canada, i have seen one thread in this forum, started by nzguy, wherein he mentioned submitting his transcript without having it placed in a university-sealed envelope. it was accepted by CIC and he recently got his permanent resident visa.
 
thanks aanbaan...actually the latest still doesnt mention the RPRF.....
 
it does actually,

try http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/E37029.pdf

see lines 2-4 in section 13 on page no. 6 (A-5)
