    Hi guys, I have a quick question: my husband applied for his PR extension more than a month ago. I was expecting the Case Processing Centre to send us a letter saying that they have received the application for extension and that the case is pending. Will they send any kind of receipt? My...

    PR renewal application fee

    Thanks, Leon. i am applying now because my husband's PR card will expire in February 2012. The strange thing is that even though we applied together (I- as a principal applicant and he as a dependent), he received his card first and mine was lost before it reached me. So, when they reissued me...

    Thanks for your reply, PMM. We are applying for renewing/extending our PR status. from what I understood from the CIC website is we have to pay right of residency fee plus PR extension application fee. Is it right?
