Hey everyone,

I am a June applicant and like many of you I received this email. I already did everything mentioned in the email except paying the RPRF fee and got an AOR (which means your application is complete), so not sure why they sent me this email again.

Question 1: I know the RPRF fee of $490 is separate from the $550 fee I paid during the application. But what is HPM fee, I haven't heard of that.

Question 2: I am an inland applicant and already sent TWO police certificated for the previous two countries I lived in. Do they want Canada Police Certificate as well?

RIGHT OF PERMANENT RESIDENT FEE (RPRF)

This is reminder that if your Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) is outstanding, you must pay this fee before a permanent resident visa can be issued. The RPRF will be refunded if the application is refused, if you withdraw your application or if you choose not to use your visa.

 Go to the website: https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/epay/welcome.do?lang=en

 Read the instructions on each page, and click “Continue” to proceed

 Select the “Immigration” link, followed by “Right of Permanent Residence Fee”

 You must pay this fee once for yourself as principal applicant

 You must also pay this fee for your accompanying spouse or common law partner, if you have one

 Enter the number of fee payments (1 or 2) in the box beside the fee of $490

 Click “Submit”

 Proceed to pay your fees by selecting “Pay” and then follow the instructions to pay with a credit card

Hey guys, I've also received this reminder email. I have just sent out now my police certificates via CSE as I had not received them yet on the day of application 7 months ago.

The only question I have is my passport expires October 10, 2016 (9 months from now) - should I renew it now or wait until I get PR?

My timeline:

AINP nomination June 8, 2015
Application received June 24, 2015
EP received September 08, 2015
Reminder email January 27, 2016
 
I am an Inland Ontario PNP applicant.
Filled in early June.

I have a question regarding Police Certificates. I did criminal record check (fingerprints n stuff), and I got a letter from RCMP after 2 weeks which I sent to CIC along with my application in June. From threads, I came to know there is some regular police certificate issued in Canada from police station which is different from RCMP letter.

Do I need to go to police station in my city and get that regular clearance certificate as well? ::)

I would appreciate your help.
Thanks,
 
You don't need to provide Canadian Police certificate unless they ask you to do so. I provided two police certificates from the previous two countried I stayed in at the time of the appliacation

In the reminder email, it is written that you need to send PCC from countries you where you lived for more than 6 months. Now, I am not sure if PCC is that fingerprint document or regular clearance from Police station. :-[
 
I don't think you need Canadian PCC unless they specifically ask for it. A friend of mine who applied on August got an email in December asking specifically for RCMP (Canadian PCC) with finger prints and all.

My recommendation is to renew your passport as soon as possible. After getting new passport, you send a CSE to CIC or VO to notify them about it.

Don't wait until you get PPR because normally you are just given 30 days to submit passport

This is a Provincial Nominee Immigration forum, not a work permit forum. Nonetheless, to answer your question yes it really takes that long. I applied on July and got my permit on November. Your husband can still work as he applied before his current one expires. It's called working under implied status. Besides it doesn't make any difference whether you applied by yourself or through consultancy.
 
I just paid the RPRF fee.

In CIC email that I received this morning they said : You must send the receipt to CIO-Sydney. For fastest service, please attach it to an email and submit it via the Case Specific Enquiry form https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx

Which Option do I select from the drop-down under enquiry? I am an inland PR-PNP applicant.? Currently there is no option for inland PR-PNP applicant


Thanks

Thanks, cool that's what I am going to choose then. I will mention in the message box under enquiry that I am an inland applicant and selected outland since there was no option for inland applicant.

Hello PMC89,

I saw in your above post that you are inland and hence need to clarify a doubt with you.
I noticed in your timeline that you mentioned file transfer date xx/xx/xx. I am wondering if inland application also has file transfer procedure. I thought it was only for Outland applicants.

I am also a inland applicant and my AOR is 09-09-2015. Awaiting MR.
So do all applicants receive a mail for additional doc submissions and RPRF before MR or it varies widely from person to person. And also does this reminder email is a hint that you will get MR soon.

Just curious what will be the next step I am heading into.
