Infact you can go out if u want
They will issue transit visa on the spot for people travelling to Canada /USA/Aussie with PR n above
OK, you mean transit visa can be requested on the spot if a person wants to go out. Otherwise, it is not required?

3) Do we have to submit old, expired passports also alongwith the valid one? And photocopies of all of them? Need to be Notarized or not?
{Avinir}: Yes, Old original passport needs to be attached with current. No need to take copies of old passport. Attestation copies are not required.
why expired passport is required??? did the VO ask specifically for expired passports?? it doesn't make sense to me to send old and expired passports when they are to issue visa only on the valid passport

hi guys i dont know where to ask this question ..hope someone can help me

my husband is the PA and we have just received the PPR... yet to land.
we are having problems in our marriage and so both of us want to land in canada and get the PR card.

after receiving the card he wants to head back to india and me stay on in canada. he would probably be in canada for a week and not more.
since we have gotten married in india he wants to come back and file for divorce here.

if i continue to stay in canada can my PR card be revoked since he would probably be in canada for not more than 1 week
i will continue to stay look for a job and try and start a new life .... even though he is the PA under FSW.

Buddy you should expect ppr between 30-90 days from your TLU. Having said that each case is different and may take less or more time. As you said few ppl from Sept got PPR and few like me still waiting for PPR months after medicals. So just relax and hope for the best as you are almost thorugh.

There are few online sites you can refer to request GCMS.
caips.ca, gcmsfile.com, caipsfile.com and few more...just google it and you would come to know the entire process on how to order GCMS and how much will it cost....This is definitely a good tool to understand the status of your application..

Hope this helps...all the best :)

It takes 5-6 weeks. basic option ($25) would give u raw file without interpretation. Then others are premium servieces where they would help you understanding GCMS details...But dont waste money on that buddy just order basic file which they will send in PDF and forum members would help you out with that...Also PM me if you have any doubts..

Hi dear members
I applied PR in December 2014 in which I consider my Adaptability points for my Uncle who is a Canadian national to fulfill my required points. My uncle is my mothers real brother. To fulfill this requirement I suppose to provide birth certificates of both to prove the mutual father of both.I am from Pakistan.But at that time our Government really don't provide birth certificates. To prove this relationship I provide SSC school certificates of both with mutual father. I already got PER email, but now I got Government family registration certificate to prove mutual father of both.
My file is already in queue for process in local visa office. I need suggestion that should I provide this certificate as an additional document as a proof of relationship or I have to wait for further instructions from VO? I am a bit confuse in this case

Thanks
Send vo additional dox with a covering letter explaining situation .

Hi every one

I received my PPR from NDVO last week and have been asked to submit my passport to VFS new delhi

As I am based in Saudi Arabia I have sent a cse to Riyadh embassy and NDVO the same day itself to get my passports stamped from Riyadh embassy

But I haven't heard from either of them
now as we all know that only 30 days are given to submit our passports
and already one week has passed

Can anybody tell me how long did Riyadh office takes to reply?

Just wait for another two weeks.Country you have traveled will not be a concern,but period of stay.If you have stayed more that 6 months in a country you have to give PCC.Just wait for two more weeks you will get PPR.

Friends, Finally I will be travelling next week to Toronto having obtained my Visa in Mar'15. Can anyone suggest if having Forex Card or Foreign Travel Card (with required amount) is admissible proof for "Proof of Funds" during landing? If not, what are the other options?

Best Wishes!
Thomas cook are best in travel cards but they dont give it to Immigrants .This point please do check with every forex company you get in touch with.

For immediate travellers opening account in scotia bank will not work as it takes time for them 2 send letter hard copy via mail with bank details to transfer and that fund once trnasfered will take time to get deposited and for them to issue confirmation .

HSBC canada Sux as it requests min 25000 CAD

ICICI canada might help you can check.I am too exploring them

Split your funds in(2000-3000) currency and travel card for incidental expenses (like booking short term rental house deposit,Airport drop, Buying sim,breakfast/lunch/dinner ,buying TTC pass)

Travellers cheque is the best option for your major part (say 11000 cad) as if the cheque is lost you can submit the xerox copy and get .

DD if lost you will end up in a mess to cancel it and again reissue .

Note any Indian bank INR statements are unacceptable.

Axis bank travel card offers 7000 per day withdrawal limit and ICIC 1500 -2000 per day.

Also if you look at the Ontario settlement page they have emphasized on the bearer form and also a transfer from INR BANK IN INDIA TO CAD BANK IN CANADA which implies to Transfer of funds between your bank and a Canadian bank
http://settlement.org/ontario/immigration-citizenship/landing-and-leaving/landing-in-canada/how-do-i-bring-money-into-canada-proof-of-funds/


You can bring money into Canada in the form of:

Cash

Securities in bearer form (for example, stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills)

Negotiable instruments in bearer form (for example, bank drafts, cheques, travellers' cheques, money orders)

Transfer of funds between your bank and a Canadian bank

I would love to do so as I am in similar situation, but I am planning for Toronto.

2) Get Driving extract from your RTO, this will help you to get your BC driving license easily.

Hope it helps!!!
