Hi all, I got passport request about an hour ago.

I am traveling next week so i will mail passport only after third week of this months.

By the way email suggests that I have to send them photo, but the number of photos is not mentioned. So how many photos that we have to send them?

Congratulation

Hey guys,
I just received the PPR email but it has nothing about the photoes. It only has a link in parenthesis in valid passport section which is the photo requirements. But I don't know how many for each I should send if I should send at all...
So, could you share your experience with me about PPR letter and if you were not asked to submit photoes...
Many thanks

Congrats Fid0 . Do not worry much about photos, send them as you wish if you are asked in the email. My PPR has neither the word "photo" nor any link in bracket. So I think it varies case to case. Cheers.

Hi, I am new here and I have a simple question.

Does anyone know that if CIC awards 5 adaptability points for completing 2 years full-time study?

According to the CIC website, full time means at least 15 hours of classes per week. For me, I haven't taken any class for more than 2 years.

On what basis does CIC determine if you are qualified for these five points?

Thanks a lot bluelotus. Do you know if they will update my OnLine status with file transferred to Visa Office? I see in the spreadsheet there is a chart which includes (amongst others) file transferred, what is that?

I am just concerned that my consulate takes one month to process applications for police certificates so I want to apply for PCC before requested by a visa officer, but I need to know an approximate time of when they will ask me for PCC. Please share your experience on this.

Best,

Do not worry much about the file transfer. Again sharing my own experience: my status said "In Process (we received your appl on Oct. 7th, 2013)" until I was asked for Medical exam and RPRF payment. Only then they added the 2nd line "we started processing ur application." I never heard any ecas line about "file transferred to Ottawa". If anyone else did, share your experience here.

I completely agree with you and Viva on your PCC issue. You can check the progress of the new contemporary applicants to decide your next moves. IMO, u can even sent PCC after 2 months from now to avoid some possible delay in future. Because some applicants receive PCC requests with medical and RPRF requests at the same time with only 60 days deadline for all of them.

I thought you already know about GCMS (Global Case Management System) . After a few weeks/days of getting PER email, you can order GCMS note online for free. The link to do this is:
https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/welcome.do?lang=en
Or,
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-personal.asp
Choose it under privacy act and choose case file of your permanent residency application. Then also choose to receive it by email (not CD). From the pdf GCMS note, you will find your application details and all corresponding entries/comments inserted by the visa officers. From their comments, you can observe whether the visa officers have found any fault or incompleteness in any of your documents. You can send them updated documents accordingly. Good luck.

Congratulations!!!

Could you please let us know when you did your medical?

Many thanks We did our medicals Sep 17 but they did not send our results until Sep 26. They used eMedics so it was fast...

 

[Fid0]

By the way, did they ask you for proof of fund as well?

No, maybe because I had more funds when applying and provide them with 6 month bank statement.

Congratulation Such a good news

Many thanks Yeah, I hope you all read the same email soon...

Big Congrats
Usually you need to send 2 but the main question is if we need to send them at all! How does it suggest to send the photos? Mine has no section for photos but in passport request section it has a link without any comment on and I think it might be a typo. It may take some time to take the photos and I prefer to do my part asap...

Hi guys,

I am trying to fill Generic application form for Canada.
Question 4 asked "Immigration Office requested for the processing of your application".
Should I leave it blank? because the Guide 7000 says Note: If you are applying from within Canada or being sponsored from within Canada, this question does not apply to you. Go to Question 5

I am PhD student in Canada like all of you. Why some people in the forum said "fill with CPC-Ottawa"?

Thanks.

Congratulations!!!

Could you please let us know when you did your medical?

Thank you ... did got medical request on 25th Sept and done on same day. Medical clinic confirm sending report on 29th Sept.

By the way, did they ask you for proof of fund as well?

They never asked me for proof of fund. But I proactively send them 6 months history twice, on March, at the time of application (16k) and on June when I updated my study permit (17k)

Same with me and I am confuse .. anyway I will send them 10 photos. It just 25 cent

 

[PhdStream]

I know this is bit silly question but I dare to ask.

Is there anyway where I can walk in with my passport to get immigration visa.

As I have to travel in a week time I cannot take risk to send passport now, however If I have immigration visa I can do landing process upon my arrival to Canada.

Congrats. I believe you will get your medical request tomorrow.
For account statement, they do not ask every applicant to send 6 months history.

You were so right. I got a request to do my medicals today. Fingers crossed.
