Can anybody please help me? My medical was submitted in March 28 2005

I received a letter from Canadian consulate on February 16, 2006 stating processing of PR is complete and I need to send original passport for immigrant visa stamp ASAP (I believe this will be single entry visa). If I send my passport for visa stamp & that will return to me in about 3-4 weeks with expiration of visa for landing. (Again I am guessing the expiration will be March 28, 2006, a year from medical).

The landing fee I paid is refundable and If I change my mind and not to go further for CANADA PR. Does anybody know that at what last stage I am entitled for the full refund of landing fee?

I mean before sending original passport for visa stamp which is current stage of mine OR

Even if I send the passport now for stamping I still have time till expiration of immigrant visa before which I should physically land to get PR # and card?
