Need Advise Here!

We received sponsor approval letter today, it requests us to pay the RPRF asap. However, we have already paid $1040 and the receipt is attached in our application package. Do we have to pay additional fee for that or I need to call CIC?

Please tell me what to do!

Thanks in advance!
Just print the receit you must have it in your emails . Me when i landed at etobikocke on august 24 they didnt even ask me for the receit. They know that you paid 1040$.

Are you sure it's sponsor approval? Usually it does mention about RPRF on the sponsor letter. Was the letter addressed really to the sponsor or the principal applicant?

In any case, your 1040$ includes the RPRF, you don't need to pay. The letter probably states something like "if you haven't already paid RPRF..."

They sent the letter to my husband's email, it states " PRPF is applicable to your application. If you have chosen to defer payment of the fee, you will be contacted to make the payment at a later date. Your family member cannot become a pr of Canada until this payment is made."

Congrats! Did you get a letter/PDF for Approval In Principal or Decision Made? What office did it say at the bottom, out of curiosity?
 
You know what he is right .when my husband received SA they said to pay pr fees in the letter .
oh ok! thank you! That was not the case before.
 
They sent the letter to my husband's email, it states " PRPF is applicable to your application. If you have chosen to defer payment of the fee, you will be contacted to make the payment at a later date. Your family member cannot become a pr of Canada until this payment is made."
ok, so yes, they now include it to the SA letter. But you see, they say "if... if you have chosen to defer payment...". As you paid for it already, you don't have to worry about it.
 
I will just chill, have a beer and wait patiently for any news :)
that's the best part! ;)
Yes, some get lucky and are processed faster than expected, some are unlucky and are processed much slower than expected, but for the vast majority of people, it will take around a year. So, just keep enjoying your life... and having a beer!
 
Omg m getting so excited seeing December and nov people getting :) . Hold on tight October and November fellas our turn coming :)
