Good morning everyone - tough crowd with the joke lol.
Anyway, been reading and welcome to all the new members. Lots of good information on here and definitely supportive.
As for the landing fee, I didn't pay with the app and I was really expecting that it would take 25 months to process as per the info on cic website so I figured I'd wait til Dec to pay (next month) - after I joined this forum I realized that 25 months was not reality and I'd better pay asap - one week after I started looking at the exact same information as you (JC), lo and behold they requested the fee! It's true that it seems that they put down your file and pick it up after the 60 days but they said in the letter that I have 30 days to pay. Well I did.
I'm not entirely sure if it really makes a difference because there have been those who have already come and gone since my app and those who paid upfront and are still waiting...
Regardless, if you go on cic website, the same place where you would have paid your application fee, the Permanent Resident fee option there as well. You can just go ahead and pay that fee same way. Make sure you use the same name as when you filed and keep a copy of the confirmation so if worse case scenerio they end up asking for it, you'll have that #. I emailed both Mississauga and Kingston and attached a pdf of the payment. 'kingston.immigration@international.gc.ca' & 'CPCM-EXTCOM@cic.gc.ca' - I put my husband's name, UCI and date of birth in the body and in the subject I wrote Payment of RPRF - F00xxxxxx1 (the x's for the rest of the app #) - keep in mind, his app# and mine were different - I used his but I would have used mine if I didn't know it.
Hope this helps!
