Hi, So i got very lost multiple times when i was going to VAC, i tried Google map and it was baddd....

Everybody who lives in Karachi knows the way to PC hotel, so i made a map from PC hotel To VAC
to simplify the way to VAC



Link
http://postimg.org/image/tthna183v/

GuideLines:
1. Take left from PC if you are coming from Club Road
2. Go to the flyover of Punjab Colony straight
3. Cross two signals and you will see the Gizri Flyover
4. Avoid taking The flyover and take the side road
5. now take right under the flyover and park your car there as you will see Behria Complex building right in front of you.

Hope it helps you and everyone who wants to go there in near future.

Regards,
Zam

Hi,
For all those who are waiting for their Passport back or want to have an idea of what they should be expecting after their Passport comes back from CHC ISB

you should check two things in your envelop.

1. Sticker of Immigration Visa on your Passport

Sample:


2.Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) Documents

Sample:



Make Multiple copies of Both and of your passport's Picture page Before going to Airport as you may have to submit copies at local Passport Control Section of Pakistan or in Canada.

Hope you find this info Helpful

Hi Zameer. First of all Congratulation for PP request. God Bless you.

I need your advise. I got medical request on 10-Feb-2015 and done on 24-Feb-2015. I inquire with IOM about the submission of test report to CIC and they advised that they did upload final report on 3-Mar-2015. My question is that, how much time will take place for PPR (1-2) after submitting/uploading medical report. Any tentative idea? Tnx

Hi ,
When you Land in Canada for the First time , you will have to separate into the right side of lane as you are going as an immigrant, then One of CBSA or Custom Officer will come to you and ask you few questions , see your COPR document and Visa, Give you your SIN (Social Insurance) number and ask you about the address where you will be residing so he/she can put it into Permanent Resident Card (PR) form so PR card can be mailed to you in 30 days on that address.

It usually take 5 to 10 minutes.
Be confident and keep smiling Smiley
Hope you find this info Helpful

Zam

Dear All,

Some members are asking about GCMS/ATIP notes and how can we order that.
Any Canadian Citizen or Permanent resident can request online on behalf of anyone (Fee5$)
arrange 4 things first:

2. Credit card
3. Scanned Consent form of release of info signed by your spouse

here is link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5744E.pdf

To Fill Form :
The form updated in Oct 2014, so here is the new method to fill it.

Section A will have principal applicant's name (the one who is being sponsored from pk)
section A will have principal applicant's signature as well


Section B will have Sponsor's name (the one who is in Canada)
section B will have Canadian Sponsor's signature as well

Section C will also have Sponsor's name (the one who is in Canada)
on section C
ICCRC number
Business or organization name both spaces will have
N/A written if you applied your spousal case without any lawyer

Section C:(4) : Check the e-mail Box

Put N/A in Section D

Sponsor and Principal Applicant will only have to fill one IMM5744E form and both will sign the same form
principal applicant's should fill/print/sign/scan and e-mail it to Canadian Sponsor who will print/sign/scan ad upload it on Atip Website


4. copy of passport of your spouse
go to the website;
https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/welcome.do?lang=en
accept all
under
