We were not introduced by anyone or meet on the Internet. My wife happens to be at one of my Family's friends house ** not a relative ** while I was traveling in Vietnam. We do speak vietnamese together and I did add "vietnamese" as other language in the sponsor form but still remember in my...

Yes really near the Canadian Consular about 2 minutes of walk. Canadian Consular may actually recommend you to go there which they did for us. Well the only reason that I would use the Canadian consular is to have better odds on your side when providing documents e.g In your Application...

Thanks mikeymyke! We have been waiting so long... (we are going to take the plane to Canada next week ... soooOOO HaaaAAApppy :) ) Yes while you are going to be in Vietnam, the idea is to collect as much as possible evidence and mostly have documents signed by your wife. BTW Canadian...

Yes, they do both "English -> Vietnamese" and "Vietnamese -> English" @ I would also suggest you to do the application while you are in Vietnam so all stuff that needs to be signed by your wife and translated documents are done and ready to be submitted once you will return in Canada. I...

It does not need to be translated from vietnam embassy of ottawa (of course if you have the money and time you can do it there). Documents can also be legalized/translated in HCM at the official notarized translated company on Pasteur street near the Canadian Consular between "Highland Coffee"...

As long as you have written "name" + "date of birth" on the back of ONE pic that can be readable with the studio stamp I believe you are fine.

***Info sharing*** For those who wonders what ECAS looks like when DECISION MADE here's my wife's ECAS: Permanent Residence 1. We received your application for permanent residence on xxx, 2011. 2. We started processing your application on xxx, 2013. 3. Interview scheduled for...

Congratulations dnguy014! If your wife is not from Saigon, I would also suggest her to not stick around (ours was 2 weeks later but other members have waited 4 weeks and more) because when everything is done they will notify you (email) or phone number you have provided in Appendix "B" so that...

@redhunter They asked same questions and concerns for both of us (she first, then me separately) and we had identical answers (**luckily**) which I believed convinced the SVO.

CIC explained me that time processing on the website which shows 26 months is for people **WITHOUT Interview** meaning that if Interview Waived it should not take longer than 26 month. **BUT** if you are in Interview queue than you "simply" add +24 months from the date you receive the Interview...

Thanks mikeymyke. It took us 1 hour total. a) We went directly in-person at the Canadian Consular in HCM (9th floor) b) ask for that c) paid I think 25$ USD d) waited in the room while agent is doing something (probably the search) e) and got it

Hi goodman36, I am not from Bangladesh but from Vietnam and I just got letter TODAY from CIC that Visa is stamped in my wife's passport and to pickup on Monday in Vietnam. It took us around 2 weeks after we drop passport) We did not expect to received so soon since IOM (Where we dropped...

Hello everyone, ;D I believe I am one of the last December 2010 applicant on this forum for this PR Canadian process. I was one of the unlucky people who got their wait longer (+22 months) due to Interview queue and now this long wait has come to an official **end**. I received today the...

@ redHunter Having myself and my wife went to the interview in last July 2013, my only advice is to tell the truth and everything should come naturally like if you are talking to someone normal. In my interview, they listed their concerns and ask us all the applications questions. Finally I...

Thanks ETOWN. I believe it's been a while we did not see you in this forum. Good to hear from you. We have a member TAYCAOCO in this forum who says that he feels that his wife interview did not go well (see page 32) Can you help TAYCAOCO since TAYCAOCO may have to go throught what you have...

For translation stuff there is a Notarized translator near Canada consular at Pasteur street which we went there. We went to IOM for medical exam (part of list of official physician of CIC website for DMP) and to drop passport as indicated in CIC letter All those places and IOM are very close...

I believe that we could have done that since it was mentioned in the letter page 2 but as in Appendix "B" which clearly stated that for Vietnam there seems to be only one option which was to go with IOM HCM or Hanoi? (this is a little bit tricky since in page 2 they said we can send by courrier...

Hi everyone, Wanna let you guys know that my wife and I just went to IOM in HCM to drop passport. 1) IOM has two sections a) for medical exam b) for administrative work like sending passport and book plane tickets (we were indicated to go to counter number #11 for Canada, there is a little...

@ Taycaoco : here's what happened after my interview 1) SVO explicitly said: "I have decided to accept your application" 2) SVO ask to sign IMM5669 3) SVO kept the following papers: Police Certificate, all updated forms 4) Finally SVO told us we will get instructions on next step which is...

@ dnguy014 wow what a fast timeline! You mentioned that they requested passport in the letter? you don't have to wait 6 weeks after medical exam? if this is right ...you are a very lucky couple this might be your year ! :)
