Don't get TD, they're a buncha cheap fks that will do anything to make money off you. Scotia, I know is good for free cinema tickets as rewards; good if you're a teenager. CIBC has the most rewards and immigrant friendly. RBC idk too much
TD also does not send SMS alert for transactions which is a very basic feature to have these days.

When I send passport and letter to VFS, do I have to send separate envelopes for me and spouse? Or does it all have to be in one package. We have applied for fsw in one application, with me as primary applicant

Agree, this is huge drawback. So if one loses TD credit card and is used by someone else, card holder wont even be alerted. I dont know whether other banks act the same way.

Hey guys! I have some questions. Let's assume we get ITA around September 2022, When will we receive "okay, you are good to go." visa? I assume it is called PPR.
Also, I am trying to read everyone's signatures to see the timeline, is there any easier way? Thanks in advance.

If you dont mind, can I ask what score are you standing at ?
And how are you looking forward towards the draws ? Would we be able to get an ITA before the C-19 ?
CRS score 519. Hope to get an ITA in July.

At the moment, I am not worried about the C-19. I don't think I will be affected by it.

The minister it trying to bring back the 6 month standard processing time, so if you would be invited in September, you would receive PPR beginning of March.

Everyone's file is different, some get processed in almost two months and others, unfortunately, have to wait a considerable amount of time.

It all depends, case by case basis. How complex your application is etc. etc. In the best scenerio it should not take more than 6 months ;) in more complex cases it can takie 12 months or longer.

Scotiabank also is the only major bank in Canada to offer a no foreign transaction fee credit card. Again one of the differences vs USA where many banks offer such credit cards.
If you are specifically looking for no FX fee credit cards, there are a few of them offered by other financial institutions:

Brim Mastercard
Hometrust Visa Credit Card

Are these companies any good? Have you had any experience with them? Also, do you have any idea regarding the credit card company called "Tangerine"?

"Review Required" under eligibility means that there might be an issue with your work experience (duties/pay) being tied to the NOC Code you've applied under. That is the most common reason I've seen. Check to see the reviewing officers comments in the GCMS notes which talk about eligibility.

I landed a day before yesterday at Vancouver, BC. Immigration was quick, they didn't check proof of funds just asked questions on CoPR letter.
Got my SIN, opened a bank account and got a new number yesterday.

Quick question: I provided an address for PR card delivery at the time of immigration, but now I want to change the address. What are my options?
