Though you have already received a reply from the Captian, just to let you know that I have 3 passports and I sent only my latest one, which does NOT have the UAE residence visa on it. There was no problem and I got my visa stamped and returned.

Dear All
I have been selected as a provincial nominee for Ontario. I need to submit fees with my application.

The letter says "In Canadian funds only, you may pay

•by certified cheque, bank draft or money order made payable to the "Receiver General for Canada."
If there is no expiry date on your certified cheque, money order or bank draft and it is drawn on a foreign bank, it can only be cashed for 6 months from the date of issue. To ensure it can still be cashed when the fee payment is processed at the CIO, it must be issued no more than 30 days before you send your application to the CIO. If we are unable to process your payment, your application will be returned to you."

1.CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHERE IN ABU DHABI CAN I GET A BANK DRAFT FOR CANADA ISSUED?
2. Also how much time will it take to get a police clearance certificate from any uae police station and then from indian embassy in abu dhabi?

Hi I believe I can guide you with your queries:

1) Try Urban Living Suites. They are in downtown (very near to Toronto Western Hospital). They have studio and one-bed accommodation with wi-fi and kitchen facilities, and very close to public transit. Google it and u'll get the link. Also try toronto.kijiji.ca for other options.

2) We came by Turkish Airlines from Dubai in June'2012. Truly world-class airlines. And the tickets were cheap too. Try booking directly through their website (i just found return airfare at AED 5500 return, as per your dates). You may also check www.cheapoair.com. There are always some really good deals.

3) I think 3 hours should be more than enough. But be bit careful with the your stuff in hand-baggage while at London airport. You might lose precious time if you have liquid items in your bag. They'll check thoroughly.

4) Since you are going to be in Toronto for 10 days, try to complete the following tasks:

- Submit your credentials for evaluation at Centre for Continuing Studies (Univ of Toronto). They will mail the evaluated documents back to Dubai after 2-3 months. This will save you a lot of time when you relocate to Canada. But ensure you have the complete credentials with you. You have to submit only color photocopies and originals are required only for verification.
- Open a bank account. I would suggest RBC or Scotia. Both have a huge network across Canada
- Apply for your SIN. Keep a local address (relative preferred) ready for sending your PR Cards. This will be asked at the airport on arrival.
- If you plan to bring your cargo later, keep a printed list of items ready with you.
- Carry your funds in the form of a Canadian Dollar Draft, from AL Fardan or UAE Exchange.
- Try to visit job consultants specific to your job profile.
- Also, try to visit settlement organizations like Acces Employment or COSTI to get an idea about job market
- Get a weekly TTC Metro pass and roam around Toronto ;D Get to know the city well.

Thanks a bunch for all the suggestions Masterblaster... ...Sorry for the late reply......I would actually be leaving to toronto for good not for just 10 days...and I checked out Turkish airlines mate but they are offering a 1 way ticket for 1 passenger for around AED 3420 but on the other hand Etihad is offering AED 3573 for a direct flight from Abudhabi to Toronto....If you have any more suggestions that could help feel free to blast it mate... ;D...

hello friends,

I am doing my medicals this week. I also have to pay RPRF. How should I pay?
for my initial application fees I sent a demand draft from ADCB payable to Receiver General for Canada and it was accepted.
Shall I do the same for payment of RPRF?

how did you guys pay your RPRF?

Please I need urgent help on this , I have to make the payment, any help?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Qorax,

I have below issue to understand.

Do they encash RPRF cheque/draft after completing the background checks and after clearing the medicals or once received they encashed it in a due course?

Pls help us with your experience.

Hello everyone! I am an applicant under the Quebec Immigration Skilled Worker program. I received my file number on October 2011 and have my TCFQ and IELTS results submitted last June 2012, until now I haven't received yet my interview schedule, what maybe the cause of this delay? I am a Business Administration graduate major in Management. Thanks!
