I think you're close - it says right there that they'll ask it before finalizing and issuing - they don't say anything about not starting it - so yeah they might ask some more questions to finalize - they must do something in that extra two months - but take this news as very positive! It comes right out and says you'll be asked for this fee when we are ready to issue the permanent residence visa...
it says ready to issue - not ready to evaluate...
you may still run into a pinch with medicals though... if after you pay the fees and that deadline gets close just do them to keep things going....
Good luck - keep everyone posted - could be useful info for others who may have split their fee payment!

Browngirl,

The fees that you have already paid covered your sponsorship application and the processing of your husbands application.

The RPRF is not required in advance but it is reccommended in order to avoid delays.

In our case, we did not pay the RPRF in advance but we didn't wait to be asked for it either.

We had extra documents that we had to send in after our daughter was born so we knew we could wait and send a copy of the receipt along with that package.

If the situation had been different, we would have paid it all upfront as is reccommended.

Once you have paid, you need to send the receipt to CIC-Mississauga. They will update the system to show you have paid and forward an electronic copy to Haiti. We also sent a copy to Haiti for their records...just in case the message didn't get through quickly.

You may want to scan/email or mail your receipt to Haiti letting them know that you have paid.

Here is the specific address for RPRF payments:

RPRF Payments
CPC Mississauga
P.O. Box 6100, Station A
Mississauga, ON
L5A 4H4


The only other steps may be for your husband to sign the "I have no other children" form and to submit your original marriage certificate and your husbands original birth certificate.

If the medical is going to expire, Haiti will ask your husband to go the embassy to pick up new medical forms that are specific to him. Do not do the medicals until they have requested them. Going to the doctor with the forms already filled out speeds things up and the results are back at the embassy in about 3 days.

You could be looking at a few more months realistically because of BF dates, mailing time, visa issuance time etc.

The good news is that you are getting very close!

Thanks so much for the info Sangria.... I will be making the payment this Friday and then scanning the copy of the receipt along with an email to PAP as well. Hopefully they will inform me whether or not they need anything else, considering the last time I contacted them they told me not to bother them til March.... lol.

I m just going to pray that my hubby will be here within the next couple months. This has been a very difficult separation for us. But, I guess it keeps me going to think about others, like spouses fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan.... that must be so devasting....

When I start to think that way, I thank God that it isn't as bad as it could be. It could always be worse.

Hopefully you are still around

Hi, im just reading your post and it helps me a lot because im being through the same thing...
However i need a last confirmation... we didnt pay our RPRF upfront... Our application is alreaydy forwarded to Haiti. I was reading on the site, it says if you are paying additional fees, u have to pay it with the letter coming from the embassy requesting it... Does this mean i have to wait for them to request it? or paying it now wont be a problem? thank you so much
