My passport arrived (via DHL) with shiny new visa in it. Woohoo!
I'm really excited. Thanks to all you lovely people who helped along the way. I'm sure you'll get yours soon too. I have a few questions (again) ![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
1. I had to pay 80US$ to DHL because CHC hadn't payed the transportation. Is this normal? I thought all the costs involved are covered with thousand odd $$$ I paid when applying for PR.
2. We were initially going to go settle in Vancouver but due to house of prices and lack of job opportunities there we are thinking of moving to Toronto. In the CORP it says we are to land in Vancouver. Would it be a problem if I arrive in Toronto instead?
Any thoughts/comments greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Congratulations!!!!
Yes, it is normal. Visa post only use standard mail, unless you provide prepaid courier envelope or arrange for it.
No problem as long as Quebec is not involved.
