Hi Naz,

London sent back the photos we had sent in with our application (along with the same compliments slip you received) on Christmas Eve and I got my PPR on 6th January 2011, so looks like you're nearing the end!

You should receive your PPR via email if you provided an email address with your application but they will normally mail you a copy too - I received both (email first) but some people only get one or the other - like everything else in this process, it seems to vary from person to person.

You can go in person to the Canadian High Comission in London to drop your passport. They are only open for passport drop off / pick-up on Thursdays between 2pm and 3pm. All the information will be on the PPR.

Hope that helps!

Hi Suze,

Thanks for your wonderful reply. People are so nice on this forum and reply you so quick. I have hope now that i will be getting email in near future. I have ticket booking for Second week of April as i was going to apply for VISIT VISA next week. If by next Thursday i have not received email then i will go ahead for visit visa. Fingers crossed!!!!

Any suggestions on this will be appreciated.

Regards,

Naz

Hi,

I have question. Can you check your ecas status by using your FILE NUMBER that London office sent me? I was wondering they might have more uptodate info about my case.

Hi!
I'm new to this forum but was hoping someone could help me!
My fiance and I are waiting for his visa to come through. Currently I'm in Canada and he lives in the UK. the distance sucks as does the visa process. Anyways, we didn't know about the Right of Permanent Residency Fee until we go the letter from London asking to pay it. I have read on a few different forums that failure to pay this at the start of your application and paying it when requested slows down your application process by about 2 months . Has anyone experienced this situation? Was wondering what experiences those had who paid the RPR fee when requested at the end of the process and how long they had to wait for their Passport to be Requested.

Thanks!

That is correct, times vary, but 2 months is about right.

The fees are all noted in the documentation and on the site where you make the online payment.
Payment at the start of the process is far better IMO.

Totally agree...it would be nice to know what the hold up is instead of sitting here in the dark fretting.

You know, I feel like it really depends on who gets your application. I imagine an office full of people, and the applications get distributed amoung them. Your application might have landed on the desk of someone who is working on a difficult case, so may take longer to get to yours. Where mine might have landed on the desk of someone who just finished reviewing an easier case, so got to mine quicker.

Maybe? I dont really know, but thats what I picture in my mind.

All sorts of things go through my mind...including what if we have done something wrong. But then they haven't contacted us to ask for more information so you could be right. It might have to do with where my partner used to work as he had to have high security clearance. If they want info from that organisation we will be sitting here for weeks as they don't move quickly!

If she reads your post and is 22 years of age, your passport might take five months to return

Let's hope Jean is ready for retirement, eh?
