Guidance Required !!

Please, can someone tell me - where is the fee form for RPRF? CIC fee payment instruction guide states "IMM 5620", but this form only has check boxes for the initial processing fee, i.e. 550$ for each applicant. I dont think this form has RPRF section, i.e. 490$ per applicant

Can someone please guide me to the right place where I should be looking?

It's not about international, it's about bank rejecting the transaction by detecting it as fraudulent if you don't regularly do international transactions, especially of high value.

is this a sign for that they will accept CIC charge

Hi All,

I am about to close all requirements for my application package. The last road-block showed its face today.

1. Went to ICICI Madhapur (Hyderabad) bank for DD, they said they are out of stock and only one branch in Secuderabad might have it - that branch is like 30 km from my place.
2. Went to HDFC - they said I should have an account with them, else the process takes at least 3 days to finish and I need to fill up many forms, declarations, etc.

Could you please help me with a better option? Isn't there any bank (say IndusInd) which would quickly give a DD without asking too many forms/declarations?

Thanks, as always!

I would never prefer this if I had a choice, but SBI gives DDs to non customers and has branches even in the remotest of areas.

So pls contact them.

Also traveling 30kms for DD to secundrabad ICICi Branch is no big deal as per me if you are applying for Canada. Choice is yours.

1) No. The only thing that needs to be in native language is the name It should be written in the designated space by hand after printing. So, only one form for one person with everything in English except where name in native language is requested.

2)The form filled by the spouse, if you are the principal applicant then follow this: spouse's name in the applicant field and your name in the spouse field. Rest of the information should be the spouse's.

Dear Namaste,

Thanks a lot for your input. The question 2 is very clear for me. However for question 1, there is no separate space provided for writing the name in Native language in IMM5406? Besides, when they say NAMES, does that mean all the names (dad,mom,siblings etc) that appear in that form needs to be written also in Native language?

I had used my CC for WES too, however, it seems the amount for WES was small. Mine was declined as Bank assumed it to be fraud as the amount was big. I have corrected it and just hoping for CIC to try again.

To be on a safer side, it would be good to notify the bank about such transaction.

 

[fswp2014applicant]

Using CC yourself on international websites is different because you still enter OTP or Secure PIN etc so bank can validate the txn, however, when CIC charges, that part is skipped, so, ONLY in certain cases, bank might reject the transaction if they suspect it to be fraudulent. So I suggest few things:

1. Verify card is valid for international transactions
2. Enable card 4 international transactions
3. Set a higher daily spend limit (min Rs. 100,000) for international transactions
4. Inform the bank one week in advance to expect a high value international transaction from Citizenship and immigration Canada.

Thanks a lot amit! I'll immediately reach out to Thomas Cook - I don't want to trust my HDFC or my bank of america card for international swipe. Appreciate your quick response! +1 sir

Thanks Optimist3!

We have seen many applicants suffer due to CC woes.

+1 to you.

Hi Seniors,

In the MR mail it is mentioned that we need to provide Police clearance from country/state where we have been residing for more than 6 months after the age of 18

In my case i have been stayed in Maharashtra and Haryana. DO i need to provide it for both the states ? Or only the PCC from current state would suffice

Current state is sufficient.

 

[CanOl]

OMG

Just i was typing a reply here, i got MR from NDVO

May 8th Applicant 4011

Congrats and +1 to you

Re: Rumors about PCC Validity

Okay, for once this needs to be made clear as I see that (some) people are misinformed about PCC validity and are spreading incorrect information. Unless PCC instruction for YOUR specific country says to wait for some particular milestone of the PR process, please do NOT wait post PER to get the PCC process started.

There is only a requirement of getting PCC issued within the 3 months of initial application submission, if one is submitting PCC along with the application right upfront. Post that stage there is no such 3 month condition, and a PCC can be obtained one day after the application submission and that is okay too. THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR FASTER PROCESSING VISA OFFICES LIKE CPC-OTTAWA, NEW DELHI ETC. that process applicants and generally issue PR within 8 to 10 months. The only thing CIC states on PCC validity other than the above is that all PCCs are considered valid by CIC for 1 year, unless a shorter validity duration is mentioned on the PCC itself by the issuing authority. Normally, most PCCs don't mention validity periods (exception can occur though) but only have a date of issue for the PCC.

In essence when a PCC is valid for 1 year from the date of issue, for faster processing VOs, there is no point in not initiating the PCC process right after Fee Charge or PER. I, in fact, initiated mine right after application submission in May 2014, and both my PCCs are issued in June 2014 itself though my PER came in August.

Police certificates Source: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EG7TOC.asp

Note: If you are including your police certificates with your application to the CIO, please ensure that your certificates were not issued more than three months earlier. Police certificates are generally valid for 12 months from the date they are issued. However, if a final decision is not made on your application before the expiry of your police certificate, the visa office may request that you provide a new one.

Thank you very much for corroborating my view on PCC validity.

However, out of interest, i want to know one thing regarding providing PCC for all the countries with stay more than 6 month right from the age of 18. In all the forms we mention only 10 years of past history. So, CIC will know only 10 years of history and will ask for only 10 years of PCC. Do we have to deliberately send all the PCCs without even they asking us?

I will also do some research on this and come back to you.

Thanks again for this nice topic.
