Finally got a reply to my email from the visa office in Rome. This is it
ear Nektarios Tepetes,
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada.
We are ready to undergo the final review of your application. Please mail us the following:
- printed photocopies of the entire passport valid for international travel for yourself and for each member of your family who will be accompanying you to Canada.
- divorce certificate for you and P.Kara
The Case Processing Center in Mississauga will be contacting your sponsor in Canada for payment of the Right of Permanent Residence Fee. The CPC will advise our office directly once the fee has been. Once your sponsor has completed payment to CPC-Mississauga proof that payment has been made can be forwarded to our office.
Should your sponsor wish to make payment prior to being contacted, payment can be made as follows:
1) Make online payment of the RPRF to the CPC in Mississauga at : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/index.asp
2) Submit proof of payment to CPC-M online at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/relatives-apply-after.asp, by fax to 905-803-7392 or by mail to Case Processing Centre Mississauga, 2 Robert Speck Parkway, Suite 1200 Mississauga, ON L4Z 1H8.
We expect to receive the required documents within 30 days from the date of this e-mail. Your visas will be issued for entry to Canada before: 2016/01/15
No changes or extension to your visa will be possible after it is issued.
If you wish to use a courier service for return of your passport or documentation, you must provide a pre-paid, pre-addressed courier airwaybill when you send your passport. We will advise you when your visa is ready so you can contact your courier with pick up instructions. You should record the airwaybill number that you provided for return delivery so that you may track the delivery yourself. We will not contact courier companies on your behalf.
FOR ALBANIAN RESIDENTS: If you wish to use AC (Albanian Courier) for your documents delivery and prepaid pick up of your passport and visa you must contact Albanian Courier (AC) www.albaniancourier.al (strongly recommended).
For residents of Greece only: We strongly encourage you to consult the DHL GREECE website ( please link the words DHL GREECE to http://www.dhl.gr/en.html ) - you can also contact them by phone +302109890000 or by email at athcustserv@dhl.com . DHL GREECE offers discounts for customers shipping to and from the Canadian Embassy in Rome and their delivery services are extremely fast.
If you do not include notification of a prepaid courier your passports/visas will automatically be returned to you by registered mail.
So my questions are:
1. do i (the sponsor) need to send copies of my passport as well?
2.i have already paid the Right of Permanent Residence Fee. I sent the receipt with the total amount (1100 dollars i think) with the application. why are they asking for it to be paid?
3.Since we won't be sending our original passports i do not need to send a prepaid courier for the return right?
4.how will their visas be issued?
Thank you, thank you,
butterflies of excitement in my stomach!
