Hello everyone,

I recently received the email titled "Ready for Visa / Prêt pour Visa" as part of my application for permanent residence through the Express Entry program (Federal Skilled Worker category - FSW). The email states that I need to provide certain documents, but I have a few questions regarding points 4 and 5 mentioned in the message.

Here’s the excerpt from the email that is causing me some confusion:

"
You must submit together:

  1. One copy of this letter.
  2. Passport(s) OR photocopy(ies) of passport(s), as explained in Step 2.
  3. Two (2) photos of yourself and of each accompanying family member. Photos MUST meet the precise specifications found in the link below or in Appendix A at the end of this letter. If you submit photos that do not meet the exact specifications, your package will be returned to you. www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf
  4. If not yet paid, Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) for you and your accompanying spouse (if applicable). We strongly encourage you to pay your fees online and provide a copy of the receipt. To pay your fees online, click here: https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/epay/welcome.do.
  5. The height and eye colour (for both eyes) for the Principal Applicant and all of his accompanying dependants
"

Point 4: Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF)
I have already paid this fee when I submitted my initial application. However, the email asks me to provide proof of payment. Does anyone know how I can retrieve this proof to submit it along with the other documents?

Additionally, I noticed that the provided link seems to apply mainly to those immigrating with their family. I did a simulation by entering "1" as the number of people since I'm alone, and it seems that this fee is not required for single applicants.
Am I correct, or is there something specific I still need to check?

Point 5: Size and Color of Eyes
I'm not sure how I’m supposed to measure the size of my eyes.
Does anyone know how to proceed or if this is information I need to obtain in a specific way (optician, etc.)?

I appreciate any help and advice you can provide!

Thank you and have a great day.

if you go into to the link the provided, it will direct you to login into the portal with all your receipts. This is if you used that portal before. Besides, you should have kept this information before.
for the last one, google how to do it and do it yourself.

Point 4: login to your GCKey account and look around. Check the messages that were sent to you, one of them will open a window that has a receipt number. You click on the receipt number (it's a link) and it will download the receipt for you.
Point 5: U need your height, and eye color. You dont need the size of your eyes.

Thanks, I found the receipt.

But can you confirm that since I have already paid this:
Fees
ApplicationQuantityPrice (CAD) per unitTotal (CAD)
Permanent Resident Application Fee1$950$950
Right Of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF)1$575$575
Biometrics Fee1$85$85

I just need to send the receipt ? And so this link in point 4 is only for those who are immigrating with their family?"


Thanks again :)

yes all you need is the receipt.

Point 4 is for those who havent paid the fee yet. This fee is not required when you apply and can be paid later.
