    Thanks guys. I did call CIC and managed to speak to someone. And in fact they had an issue with my son's photo. They told me that they would mail me a letter with instructions from the local CIC Toronto office which I am yet to receive after about 10 days. Interesting that the photo wasn't...

    PR card for family members still not arrived.

    Hi, I landed in Toronto with my family on 11/24. My PR card arrived at my friend's house but not my wife's and son's. Is this normal? Typically, do they send the main applicant's card before beneficiaries? Thanks.

    PPR From NY (Please help !!)

    Also just received my PPR from NYC today, and the instructions are exactly the same as on the website, passports have to be mailed. And for anybody awaiting a PPR from NYC, it does come via Snail Mail. In my case it took about 2 weeks from the date my ecas status changed to "Meds Recd". Thanks.

    Is 6.5 not sufficient for PR?

    There is a requirement of total points in the application. If your case requires that you receive all of the 16 points allocated for linguistic ability then your consultants is right that you will need more points on the IELTS. Otherwise, there is no minimum, you could get 0 points for...

    request for medicals received from NYC, instructions a little vaugue

    1. " Please complete an IMM8 for you and your spouse. The forms currently on file require updating" None of our info has changed, so I presume it's OK to send a copy of the form that was originally mailed out. Do I need to be sending Schedules 1&3 as well? 2. "The following fees are...

    Proof of funds!!!The best choice?

    i agree with rupeshshari, nowehere in the documentation do they mention anything about retrospective bank statements. i think this is just unnecessary fluff, i feel they are more concerned with your credentials, experience and language skills initially. you will still have to prove funds when...
