Well, not sure who you are referring but you can post your "detailed" questions here on the forum. It would benefit others too.

Hello friends,

I raised a CSE on Aug 30 to get my communication details changed, however I haven't got the reply back yet that changes have been applied. Meanwhile, I have got the rprf req and by in progress. Should I raise another CSE?

No, I guess. Just pay the RPRF. They either take a LONG time to acknowledge these changes or they do not acknowledge at all. Either way, this address doesn't make a material difference to your application (nothing is sent to this address by IRCC).

Good luck!

I was looking at the bank website for documents required for opening bank account in Canada, can you help me what these documents are

IMM 1000, IMM 5292-- As I understand from various posts these are the documents handed over at the time of landing IMM 5292 is used these days while IMM 1000 used to be there before year 2002

IMM 1442, IMM 5688-- I couldn't understand what these forms are, kindly suggest how and when they will be received

Did you try google ? Because I just googled "IMM 1442", and the very first result is a CIC page that says:
"Application for a Verification of Status (VOS) or Replacement of an Immigration Document (IMM 5545)

A Verification of Status document will contain information that appeared on your original Record of Landing, Confirmation of Permanent Residence, Work Permit, Study Permit or other immigration documents. This document can be used when you must provide proof of historical immigration information, such as the date and place of entry to Canada.

You may obtain a VOS document outlining the pertinent historical information for the following:

Certificate of Departure (IMM 0056)
Immigrant Visa and Record of Landing (IMM 1000)/Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292 or IMM 5688)
Visitor Record (IMM 1097 or IMM 1442)
Work Permit (IMM 1102 or IMM 1442)
Study Permit (IMM 1208 or IMM 1442)
Exclusion Order (IMM 1214)
Deportation Order (IMM 1215)
Departure Order (IMM 5238)
Permit to Come Into or Remain in Canada (IMM 1263)
Authorization to Return to Canada (IMM 1203)
Protected Persons"

Yes, I had read that but that page only mentions about the VOS application and one of the document you can ask from CIC through this application in your history is IMM 1442.
So IMM 1442 is only for visitor visa landing records, doesn't apply to us.

Regarding IMM 5688

"Use of the IMM 5688 CoPR will apply only to cases processed through GCMS. Cases initiated in Field Operations Support System (FOSS) or Computer-Assisted Immigration Processing System (CAIPS) will continue to use the current IMM 5292 version of the CoPR"

Are not all cases processed in GCMS these days?

Its very simple. You need to provide 2 pieces of identification and your SIN to open a bank account in Canada. You can use your foreign passport + the stamped COPR along with your SIN to open a bank account.

Check this page ---> http://www.scotiabank.com/ca/en/0,,8824,00.html

Alternatively, you can open one even before you land and activate it after landing. Check this --->

Yes. That doesn't make a material difference as well. All communication is sent via myCIC account and PPR comes on your e-mail ID. If you have submitted a change request, you are good to go IMO. The odds are that the information you provided will be updated in your records.

Hi,

If a submit the eAPR with letter of explanations( I will have to provide them for my wife's PCC and medical), and IELTS score expire before I am able to submit the actual documents, will the eAPR will be deemed complete? Or, I need to give the IELTS again.

Also how is the usual validity of provincial nomination, and the expiry date of nomination is calculated- from the date nomination was given or from the date it was accepted?

Your IELTS should be valid up and until the time you submit your e-APR. To be on the safer side, make sure you submit your e-APR at least one day before your IELTS expires.

Why do you have to submit a explanation letter for your wife's PCC and meds?

Nomination is valid for a period of 6 months. I am not sure whether it is valid from the date of issue or date of acceptance. I guess your nomination certificate will have that detail.

Good luck!

No. You do not have to inform if it is a short trip. However, if you are going there on a long trip (4 - 6 + months), then inform them so that you will be able to send your PP to Ottawa. Alternatively, you can request a change of VO after you get PPR.

It will be only 1 to 2 weeks trip, so as I understand this need not be reported to CIC.

Yes. In that case, not required.

Yes. In that case, not required.

Thank you
