Hi Bhanu
I have recently got my 1st AOR and preparing to send the whole supporting documents to my visa office (DAMASCUS) and assume that we should not pay any money (I mean the 490 CAD) at this moment. They will inform us about paying the landing fee later. Am I right?
thanks
Nimba

Hello Nimba,

I guess you are right about the fee payment at later stage as I was trying to talk to a lawyer about it but I guess there is no separate form for the fee ($490)to be included at this point of time. Thanks for the correction.

Bhanu.

Dear id4deepak
It's not mandatory for your spouse to show any English proficiency Document since you are the main applicant. Your IELTS will be enough for scoring.

To prove education you need Diploma or something if you haven't got it, it probably will not count towards your education.

Hi

You should be able to check your status by using your file number from first AOR, enter the details in the cic website and your status should show "CIO Review Completed"

Cheers

I know. but it doesn't work.
I choose "Immigration File Number" as Identification type and enter my 1st AOR as "Identification Number" then my last name, birth date and country.
The result is always:
We were not able to identify you using the information you provided....

[color=red]Canada defies trend, attracts more immigrants
 [/color] [/size]


Canada, 15th November: Canadian province Manitoba has won power to invite increasing number of immigrants resulting in making itself a hub of Punjabi youth.

And this is primarily due to the fact that while other Western nations seem to be caught in the web of anti-immigrant vibes, Winnipeg(Manitoba) distinguishes itself by being an immigrant-friendly province for the semi-skilled immigrant workers.

Canada happens to be among the few nations with high immigrants per capita and that too, without any fuss.

As per Manitoba's immigration minister Jennifer Howard, he did expect some backlash when he assumed charged of his present portfolio, however, he feels elated that on the contrary, the common notion among Manitoba natives is to find ways to bring in more immigrants into this Canadian province.

Nearly 600 new immigrants in this province learn that they can look forward to enjoying the right to live, liberty and security in Manitoba.

So, its love and friendly behaviour towards immigrants coming to this Canadian town, admits 34-year-old new immigrant and a procurement professional from Nigeria. Olusegun Daodu stated that Manitoba is indeed true to its license plates saying ‘Friendly Manitoba' where its difficult to find arrogance towards new immigrants.

Since the 1960s when Canada did two major changes in its immigration system, including creation of a points system that gives preference to highly skilled foreigner workers and abolishing rules that did not allow non-whites into the nation. As a result, Canada has become home to increasing number of minorities hailing from nations like India, China and the Philippines.

The current immigration rules allow Canada to invite almost twice the number of immigrants over its population as compared to the US.

Canada is interested in its growth and development and the nation's points system helps the Canadians understand that the current number of newcomers allowed into the nation are in accordance with the requirements of the country.


Moreover, in Canada, it can be politically risky to demonstrate against immigration since 20 percent of Canadians happen to be foreign-born and get voting righs and Canada citizenship quite early.

No doubt, Canada does have some sort of complaints against the newcomers for increasing housing costs and congestion especially in towns including Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto. But, that does not take away from Canada its friendly and multicultural title.
