News about the relative whose address was used, being arrested. Sounds funny!!

[qorax]

Is there any lawyer or agency that we can pay them to give their address so that the PR cards can be mailed to if I cant stay in Canada until the cards are sent???????

There r many many orgs/ppl who'd be happy to do that - for a fee.
And all 'short-stay accoms' do that.

Thanks Qorax, would Safe Home Stay in Toronto do this for a fee as well?
I wonder how much that would be.

I saw in your other posting recommending to stay there. I visited the website and it seems like a very reasonable place to stay for short term.

Hey Qorax; you said earlier that many orgs/ppl would be happy to do that, can you please give me some details and info about them, or even the names of short term accom. Thanks

Pls check the Housing Forum -- and fetch any of the "short-stay" packages. They'd help u with that.

Hello Sihs,

I had tried all these options before I did my landing. I had enquired this with someone who has a law firm. Initially they said that they would do it for a fee of USD 250, which I was prepared to pay. Later they said that since theirs is an official address and not a personal one, CIC might raise objections. I was told by them that using their address would not ensure a hassle-free landing, so it is preferable to provide them a personal address, which is what I finally did as I did not want to take even the smallest of risks. I found another friend who proved to be far better than the first person who turned out to be a crook.

Hi rhetorisch;
Thanks a lot for the information, the thing is I don't know anyone who has settled down in Canada yet, sO I don't know which address to give them, so I'll try looking up those short term house packages.

When I landed - I provided the "Office Address" of my associates - a fairly large org... but no one bothered. The BSO is happy with any address - as long as it has your name on the 1st line - & it's not a PO Box.
