    I am in the process of sponsoring my kiddo standalone as well and looking into the online application. I am looking at IMM5669 and it is confusing that a form titled "Schedule A Background / Declaration" has no declaration at the end of it. I see 8 sections in this form 1. Personal Details 2...

    PhD People

    I faced the same issue. Based on some research done through various threads in this forum this is the conclusion a) IF your PhD + RA is in Canada while on a study permit, you cannot count the experience for EE points b) If it is outside Canada, then you can count it under NOC code 4012. Hope...

    FBI clearance validity once submitted

    I had a pretty similar case. My US PCC was issued on july 14 and was vaild till Jan 14. I submitted my application on Dec 6 and got my PPR a few days back with no issues related to PCC. I think you should be good to go as long as the PCC is valid on the day of your AOR. -Immigrationfun

    [HELP PLEASE] process of getting reference letter from colleague notarized

    AFAIK the purpose of notarizing is to ensure that the person signed is the one claiming to be signing it. You wont be legally able to notarize if the person has already signed the paper. The legal way to do this would be for your colleague to sign the letter printed on a plain white paper in...

    Perfect! Thanks for a great summary sodapop123! A big +1. Just a quick question regarding the fee. It seems we only need to pay $31.40 per applicant based on the CSC webpage (VAC service charge not needed) . Is that what you paid?

    Congratulations on your PPR. It is really scary that the request is sent to a different email id instead of the mycic profile. Does anyone else have a similar experience of requests not coming in myCIC profile? I have not paid my RPRF upfront and am worried about missing the RPRF request if it...
