WOW! Thanks alot! I was able to call them and they just sent the card, they said that it is still within the 6week window. Thanks again!

DNA, We have the same situation. THe officer gave me a form to fax to the PR Card processing center. 2 months past already and no PR card delivered to my brother's address, I am still in the USA but will move on April. Anyway, I tried the online notification and after 2 weeks, still the adress...

There's a number you can call for BoA cashier's cheque. Unfortunately I don't remember where I wrote it. When you call they'll be able to tell you when was it encashed and you can even ask the number they wrote on the back of the check, which will be your File Number in CIC. Maybe the other...

I think you should call AINP and let them know your situation, I bet they will provide the nomination for the added family member.

Yeah, I think that is correct. PN don't need "proof of funds", when I landed they asked me how much money I am bringing and I said $1,500, that's it.

No. It should be on the specification they said. And there's a validity period when the picture was taken, x number of months, forget how long.

Better buy stamp from USPS not the online prints, tell them that it is a return envelope to you.

Dependant is not included, it only applies to Principal + Spouse: Total = $910 = Principal ($455) + Spouse ($455). This is for RPRF.

It starts when you land. That's what the immigration officer told me at the border, once you land you're a resident.

You're looking at the wrong line. Under "Permanent Resident Fees" go to the last line which is "RIGHT OF PERMANENT RESIDENCE FEE( TO BE PAID BY PRINCIPAL APPLICANT and SPOUSE /COMMON LAW PARTNER; NOT DEPENDANT CHILDREN )" RPRF is $455 USD for Principal + another $455 USD for Spouse...

I believe this $140 is for the initial application when you submit your initial papers to CIC. The $140 is non-refundable application fee.

I know...I saw that link and the memo was January 8, 2010. I believe most H1B's on my line of work (telecommunications) has the same scenario. Still, we're still lucky to come back and prepare for the move. Few more months and we're outa here!!!

With the bank. I opened a savings account with RBC, no fees whatsoever. If you open a checkings account, that's the one with fees but sometimes can be no fee if you have other accounts with them like investments or credit cards, don't know much abou the details. Also, check Scotia bank they have...

Just sharing my landing experience... My wife and I landed last Friday using Detroit-Windsor Border then came back to the US afterwards. Toll is 4.00 USD or 4.50CDN. At the immigration booth we I told the office that we are landing immigrants and he pointed me towards the immigration office...

Just have a US passport size and cut it, get the template from the CIC website. I had my picture taken at Sears.

If you're having problems with the PDF, just leave it blank and just hand-write those.

Just buy a pair coats/jackets...jackets bought from the Philippines doesn't have enough insulation for Canada's winters. You will find great deals when in Canada during sales, boxing day, etc. Buying a more expensive coat will definitely serve you during the cold months due to quality and...

I think you have to inform CIC that your wife is pregnant and won't be able to take the medical exam. The doctor told me that they cannot perform x-rays on pregnant women (except on emergencies) and would have to wait until childbirth.

Anybody here, who landed already in Canada, came out of the country and went back using just the completed COPR and doesn't have the actual PR card yet? Did anyone of you had problems with immigration not showing the PR card?
