It is saying family class at the top.. but someone in the forum has used this link to pay the child addition fees, so it can be used to pay spouse addition as well.
You will see the addition of spouse option there..

The other option is to draw a bank draft in CAD in favor of the "Receiver general for canada" and send it to LVO along with your applications forms.

Dear my salary in Saudi is 12000CAD/month Plus Home+Car+ VIP Medical+Air tickets+zero taxes, Still im moving to Canada for better life. Not only for salary.
You cannot compare salaries of Gulf with CANADA> There are lot of guys in my company taking 35000 pound/Month in hand plus all benfits. They have only 5-7 yrs exp.

Equivalent to 12000 CAD/month is a exceptional mate.. Lucky you. Hope you get more in Canada..

By the Grace Of Allah i have received Medical and RpRF request today along with updated chart and passport bio pages of family just after 8 days of sending my additional documents and PCC requested. My case officer is BWJ and he has requested me to send these documents on their mailing address. I have few questions if seniors can help me.

1: How to Pay RPRF fees and if i pay it online should i send any receipt to LVO?
2: I am In Dubai and my wife is visiting Pakistan these days with my kid so is it possible to split our medicals and she along with my kid do her medical in pakistan from panel physician and i finish my medical in Dubai and after that we would send medical receipts in a same envelope? Is it acceptable for LVO?

3: My Ecas is still showing only first line that we received your application on 25th of june. Is it normal that ECAS is not getting update and all communication is getting through email?

4: Any good suggestions before my medical as i am getting very anxious that how will it all go through as i am an overweighted person with BMI of 36. ???


Good lucks for all waiting to complete their process

Hello Everyone,

I just saw that I have received my RFPRF along with the updated information chart and PP Bio pages.

They have asked me to reply through the scan copy of all the document to be sent through email.

I have a question here that which email address should I reply on, is it the one from which I have received the email (LDNIMMIGRATION @ international .gc .ca) but that seems a generic one.

Also what does HPM mean (You may pay online as an HPM payment)

My time lines are as follows:
App sent on 7-May-14
App received 12-May-14
PER received 26-Aug-14
Processing Started 9-Oct-14
Second Line Updated 9-Oct-14
Medical Request received 9-Oct-14
Medical Done 22-Oct-14
Medical ECAS Update 1-Nov-14
RFPRF Received 14-Jan-14
PPR1 received 14-Jan-14
Updated Information Chart 14-Jan-14
Visa Officer VCM

Good luck to all my fellows waiting.

Regards
Sadeed

Congrats bro
Wish u speedy process ahead

To add to Zenghi....
2. all medical reports go to CIC electronically. nothing on envelops. so can be done in separate medical centres.
4. medicals are normal checkup. there are no reasons to disqualify except for contagious diseases like TB.
