    Anyone know about IPhones?

    We are with Fido, have three phones for the family including two iPhones and our charges are about $227 for the three, both iPhones have huge data plans which we have never managed to breach and we use the phones predominantly for data usage.

    Who should be doing most of the work the sponsor or the applicant?

    OK male applicant here, I did most of the application, even filling in most of my wife's forms for her, as I just had more time to do it and had kept a lot more evidence than here cos I am a natural squirrel. The only things she did really was write out her story of how the relationship started...

    Is this really All I need to LAND?

    Plus goods to follow lists if you have stuff you are bringing with you either at landing or later on.

    POST PICS OF YOUR APPLICATION PACKAGE HERE

    My advice isn't to send in a small amount, all I am saying is that there is a tendency to see someone send X in and for another person to send X + Y. Just be true to yourself and if you feel you have sent enough, it most probably is. I actually thought our application was over the top until I...

    Good luck to you and I don't blame you for sending is as much as you can. I am just saying that not everyone need to, if the deck isn't stacked up against them.

    What you do is what you do, I am just giving the other side of the discussion. I know of someone on here who spent so long putting together their application that their medical results have almost ran out by the time they posted it due to really over obsessing on the application.

    Obviously, it depends where you are applying from, I have never denied that, but I still feel that people get a skewed view sometimes.

    POST PICS OF YOUR APPLICATION PACKAGE HERE

    Well we managed to send in a 100% conplete application without the "advice" of the forum and if we had seen some of the pictures on this site after we had sent ours in we would have felt like total failures, but we went through with no blips and would have potentially added another few months to...

    POST PICS OF YOUR APPLICATION PACKAGE HERE

    The problem is that people see others making huge applications and it slows them down as they think they have to go back and add even more. If someone on here says they have sent 100 photos, the person reading that will send 120, "just to be on the safe side" and it just escalates. I am glad I...

    Victoria (city, not island) is the capital city of BC, and is the biggest city on Vancouver island.

    v v urgent...cant find the forms

    The COPR and PR Card application are sent with your passport after you get your visa. You get your SIN card from Service Canada centre, you don't need a form, they do all that there, you don't need this form when you land.

    Shipping stuff home from abroad??

    Hi, I have no definite answer, but I should think that any CBSA office would be able to clear your paperwork and then contact the shipping company, not just the one in Vancouver. I think there is a CBSA office in Edmonton so maybe you could call them and see if they can clear your paperwork for you.

    Form B4- Personal Effects Account

    This was my goods to follow list. As you can see, I just did approx amounts and guestimates for prices. For clothes and stuff, I had no idea and the customs officer gave me figures, they were well over what I was taking, but it is better to overestimate, rather than underestimate

    What to have prepared upon landing?!

    It would be better to have the forms written out in advance as that will save time at the customs. Regarding the second question, sometimes ECAS is late being updated, they wouldn't request your passport until they had finalised checking through the application.

    What to have prepared upon landing?!

    As long as it is listed, there is no real time limit and it can be brought in bit by bit, just getting it ticked off whenever bring stuff. Ensure they don't stamp it, to finalise it, until you have all your stuff though.

    PR application submitted to missisauga- not received acknowledgement of receipt

    Did you use the sponsor's DOB and info to enter, because that worked for us.

    appropriate packaging/folders/dividers etc

    I am so glad that I posted off our application before seeing some of these pictures or I would have been so paranoid we hadn't sent enough, but the half inch of papers, did fine for us.
