CHC Letter
Hi all
I applied for SW route back in November 2007.
I have just, this past week, received a letter from the Canadian High Commision in London, asking me if i am still interested in immigrating to Canada and if not i must inform them within 90 days to get a full refund of fees paid to date. If i do not notify them within this time frame i will not get refund in future if i were to pull out!
Now, i personally am not planning on pulling out, so will not be notifying them. However my question is, if i were to change routes from SW to PNP, will i have to pay my initial fees again or will i be able to transfer those said fees over to new application?
I am looking at going via the CI stream of NSPNP and wonder what will happen if i were to change over.
Has anyone still waiting had one of these letters and can anyone tell me if i change, will i lose my money.
Any advice welcome...

Re: CHC Letter
Hi
Just came across your query, we applied in November under skilled worker no letter asking if still interested. Then realised it was going to take so long, changed to NSPNP Community Identified Stream. In June this year we went on a recky for 2 weeks able to gain interview with SW Regional development agency in Yarmouth. Just before we left phoned Nova Scotia immigration office to have short time with them to look at our application. All seemed ok with them and they were very helpful.
After returning home we just waited to see if they would approve us last Thursday 18/9/08 we received approval by email and also through post today. We have just forwarded to London CHC Federal application and copy of NS PNP application to London today. Just await now to hear if we will be sent for medicals. Regarding fees which we paid in full for original skilled worker application covering letter explaining included with PNP application to transfer fees over to new one. Hope this helps Cheers Len

SW ended up being the better route for us anyway.
