I have sent RPRF on 26th Dec and they received on 30th Dec. They processed it on 13th March, 2013.

CIC has to process the cheque within 6 month (not certain though). So, dont worry. Send a CSI if you want!

Nivrit

I sent RPRF 10th jan. They encashed it 15th march

Would be the best from GPO, and just send fabrics, shoes, non taxable items. Please try.
While I tried the following logistics companies and the finding is following:

TnT (Service Centre +88 02 9890430) for 40 KG they quoted 53,465 BDT.
Aramex: (Service Centre 9896511, 02 9896552) for 23 KG they quoted 35,485 BDT.
FedEX is apperently cheapest most for 23 KG with less than 19,000 BDT.

But anyways just remember thing are really cheap in Canada except clothing. You will avail many household items free, from your friends and relatives. Explore backyard sale and garage sale. These would be damn cheap, some are even free. Believe me you should give a second thought for having so much stuff from B'Desh. Its even difficult to shift your stuff while you shift your house there. You need to leave everything behind as labor/ transport are very expensive over there . Everyone leaves everything back, and buy new for new house, which is worth-it.

Anyways best wishes.

You will find everything here: www.kijiji.ca

There are some more websites from where, you can buy items cheaper! I got a 2 sofa sets and a table even free!

Absolutely true. there are so many ways people who are in help, but just one thing to share, be very careful about bed bugs.
Sometimes these thrown away stuff comes with free bed bugs and you are screwed, especially if you have young kids. One of my friends got a free sofa bed (Foot-ons) and got it into his apartment, ended up calling pest control spending 250 CAD to get rid of bed bugs. Again if you have carpet in your room you are absolutely gone under juice. Better to avoid used furniture with cushions, pads, foams, fabrics etc, and if you have better check thoroughly and spray anti insect very well before you set it into your apartment.

Buy your bed fresh and its always good to invest on a healthy mattress. You really need a good sleep to fight well . Just kidding.

Cheers mate.

Guys,
Just wanted to share few things that had been always life saving for my family and worth to accompany with:
(While you start your new individual life abroad and you require little bit of Deshi cooking ;D)

B'Deshi spices: (These would serve you at least 4-5 months, and I prefer grinding my own stuff, not the ready made Radhuni brand)
01. 1/2 Kg fresh Morich Gura,
02. 1/2 Kg fresh Dhoina Gura, 1/2 Kg fresh Jeera Gura,
03. 1/2 Kg fresh Gura Holud,
04. 250 gms Pach Foron (You wont find there, I bet)
05. Mas Calai Dal (Musur Dal is available there but this one is bit rare and I am fond of it)
06. Dry fish (Damn expensive. But need to wrap properly and carefully. 3/4 ply poly with newsparer and body sprayed well. Remember if you are not sure of its proper packing, better avoid shutki. If you get caught, they will retain all your food stuff. (Unfortunately I am a big fan of Shutki)
07. Dry sweets, if you are a fan (Para, Rash Kadam, Gurer sondesh as these lasts really long and can be freezed for 5-6 months)
08. Radhuni Kheer mix (few packs, and these are very good in quick desert)
09. Beef curry mix (you need to cook fast in early days while setting up)
10. Halim mix (It really surprises your friends occasionally)

Of course everything are available (except few) at local stores (probably 'RAJA' Indian brand, bit smelling different from ours, and you need adaptive time to switch to that taste. Again if you find Pran brand, you end up paying 10 times.) You might consider a small pressure cooker as this is not familiar there, and sometimes very helpful for very fast action.

I just wanted to share my experiences, but these helped stupid myself so much, while exploring local markets. Again I am stupid enough to be a very big fan of B'Desh curry cooking smell, which I found very difficult with those locally available Turkish/ Indian spices, and while I demand I am a better cook than my beloved wife ;D.

Cheers and Happy cooking.

Yes by the grace of Allah I got my Medical. Singapore visa office has shifted many files to Sydney visa office. I think you will get it soon.

Just dont worry at all.

 

[efer]

Dear all,

Thanks for your reply.

You may be aware that, Singapore visa office has shifted many files to Sydney visa office. They have asked me to pay the RPRF fees.

In the Fee schedule it is written that

Payment may be provided by: Bank Cheque, Bank Draft or Australia Post Money Order, made payable to the Consulate General of Canada, Sydney (endorsed for collection by any bank in Australia when paying in Australian dollars, or for collection by any bank in Canada when paying in Canadian dollars).

My question to you is

1) What exactly I should write in the Bank Draft.
2) Is RPRF fees only for Principal Applicant and Spouse not for child Right?
3) Is it $490?

Thanks for all you help

Answer 1 = CIC is currently finalizing their credential assessment authority. They are going to be effective from 04-May-2013.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/2013-03-01.asp

Answer 2 = At any point during the immigration process they check your bank. So, it is advisable to keep the fund in fixed deposit during this entire period to avoid hassle.

Answer 3 = CIC is finalizing the IELTS requirement (6 or 7 or 8 ...). They are going to be effective from 04-May-2013.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/2013-03-01.asp

Answer 4 = Send ALL documents the first time with fees. If you do not give them MONEY, they will not even create your file. The list of documents is mentioned at:

Answer 1: They must have sent you a letter stating to whom to send the Bank Draft. Anyways, this is to whom you send the Bank Draft "RECEIVER GENERAL FOR CANADA" & get it done from Standard Chartered Bank to avoid hassle. Bank Drafts from HSBC & other banks cause a lot of trouble & CIC faces a lot of hassle to collect the money, so just issue your Bank draft from Standard Chartered Bank.

Answer 2: RPRF is for Principal Applicant & Spouse. Dependent children are not required to pay RPRF.

Answer 3: RPRF is CA$ 490 per person.
