Is Saskatchewan PNP ripping us off?
We received a letter form SINP asking for Proof of our Funds. They want us to get our house appraised by a proper appraiser and NOT a realtor. Our realtor said she does appraisals for FREE whereas the proper guy wants over $400 which we cannot afford to pay in the run up to parents arriving, beds to be bought and kitchen tables etc etc.
Is this normal - I know rightly it probably is, but we just feel gutted by this unexpected bill.

has said they want paying under terms of the covenant that is over 200 years old

I would guess it is standard practice, the realtor isn't checking to see if the house has any problems that may effect the price where as the surveyor is, I would guess that's the reason
Bummer thou 400 bucks, can't you get a copy of the original survey? Here they last for 6 months I don't know about there.
Good luck anyway
