Hello, still waiting on my approval but posting on behalf of a friend.
Can someone share the details on the insurance that they purchased while traveling to Canada for the first time after receiving approval letter? He is looking to purchase a coverage for 1 month.
Thank you!

I got Manulife (https://insttrip.manulife.com/ ) Was painless to buy, and I haven't made a claim and am hoping not to

Hearing that for the first time. Can you share the post/thread where people said it took 3 to 6 months after PFL. But in any case timelines with IRCC are unpredictable these days. One can get PR within a month after that or it may take ages.

Well, they are very diversified forms, I will look for them and share them, but indeed it seems to be very variable.

Did you submit through my cic account or webform?

Webform as there were no window open for fairness letter reply on my CIC account.

I responded to pfl and two days later got to know over the phone that my case is approved. Cases are different though.

That is great news, congrats.
Did you call it did they call?
Can I ask a friend in Canada to call or they won't accept. I am not it in Canada and don't know a number from outside Canada.

Hi,

I just got a mail from Delhi Immigration asking for Passports and Photographs. I have a doubt here.I am a resident of India and am asked to submit the passport and photograph at DELHI visa Office whereas my husband is a resident of USA and we have given his mailing address for the same. Now, where do we have to submit his passport as nothing about it is mentioned in the mail.

I think the optimum approach depends on what your goals are. If you plan to just use the forex card electronically (like a debit/credit card) and there are no transaction fees, the forex card makes sense. If you plan to use it to carry money to put in a bank in Canada - then any gains you get from the exchange rate can be wiped out by withdrawal fees (you're right that banks can impose additional fees for non-customer withdrawals). Do keep in mind that ATMs have withdrawal limits - you can do the math to see what works best for you.

In your place, I would either:
a) Just carry cash (in CAD), if it's not huge.
b) If I have more money, then take some in cash, then transfer the rest electronically

In both cases, it pays to shop around. Depending on where you live, there are probably quite a few options to change money and, depending on how much money you will convert, there may be some room to negotiate the rate a bit. For wire transfer, there are third parties who do transfers (I used Transferwise recently Singapore to Canada and found them good). You could always (if you have someone trustworthy in Canada) try a transfer for a small amount to make sure it works smoothly without your needing to be physically present in your home country.

Thanks
