So I send a copy of the receipt to CPC-M, I suppose I will have to write a cover letter with that,file number,id number etc. ?! Is that correct? And it should be sent to the normal address of Mississauga right? One more thing, will I have to wait 66 days for them to contact my VO about the payment ?

thanks
I think it is better to ask the authority that is CIC call centre.
To be on the safer side.

My personal opinion again: Maybe you can write a covering letter with a CC to your VO in pretoria and send two copies with attachements.One to CPC-M and one to VO Pretoria. You may spend some extra bucks, but it may provide helpful. This is only my personal opinion.

Yes, fax it to both. Include applicant's name, date of birth, UCI, File No., and sponsor's name and date of birth. The VO in Pretoria will see that you paid it but they still must wait for CPC-M to send them the OK.

On the letter this lady sent me, on top of it, there is an address and looks specific for this person or something..Should I send to this address or just fax it?

I've applied for trv for a 3.5weeks xmas break and the embassy gave me my PR visa instead. I intend to land but come back,

1. will they mail me the pr card to my canadian address, the website says i have to apply for the pr card kit etc. And collect in person.
2. when they see my return ticket and ask how long i am staying, if i answer truthfully will they refrain from sending it to me?
3. Would i have problem applying for a travel document if they wouldnt issue me a pr card when i travel for permanent resettlement after tying all loose ends back home next year?

Many thanks in advance for your answers.

Congrats on the PR visas.

1. First time PRs receive their PR card by mail unless something is wrong with the pictures.
2. No, they shouldn't. Answer honestly what they ask but only what they ask. I'm assuming your spouse will be staying in Canada?
3. No, shouldn't be a problem at all. Your PR card will probably be mailed to your address in Canada and your spouse can send it by courier to you so you may not have to apply for a TD.

Hi,
Congrats and a question for you. If my wife passport is with the Visa office for PR process. And in th emean time I apply for TR visa for my wife but I dont have the passport with me to send it because they have them.

Will the TR visa application still be expected.?

What happened in your case?

Did you apply for PR before?
was it outland?
did you apply for TRV without sending passport?

@Siva,

In the first place, they will NOT give your wife a TRV visa when her PR case "In Process". Its very rare that the CIC issues TRV to someone whose PR is in process.

I have been living in the US for almost 6 years with my husband and our children but we wern't able to afford the US immigration and are now applying for us to go to Canada and I'm wondering if I should say that we are trying and planin to resettle in Canada so that we are all legal in the country or would saying that look bad? Any thoughts? thanks!

I agree it maybe possible. And also it depends on the country.
Ok, Let me wait only 6 more months.

I would just write that you're looking to resettle in Canada. The part about you wanting everyone to be legal in one country is irrelevant and would probably cause unnecessary questions from them to you.
