The "specialist" was a CIC visa officer from VO Paris. Yes, She made it sound real easy but I guess I'll have to check it a little more for the TWP. Also, it would be an additional 1000 CAD for my family... Kris

OK, I think I know what you mean. Now, will your fiancé be residing in China after you move to Canada? If she stays in China after you leave, she will have been legally in China for over a year in Dec 2011 so it shouldn't be a problem to apply in China. If however, she will go back to...

I have to disagree with this. I do not have any relatives in Canada but should score 95 points (self-assessment.) Language skills, education and a job offer should do the trick...(touching wood) Kris

As it says "it is strongly recommended..." Best is to have your children's immunization records certified before you leave and apparently there is even a special form for it. However, do not panick if you can't locate the form. We spent one year in Canada (and are now trying to go back) with...

Aha, mystery solved! Thanks Jes_ON, appreciate it. Since I do'nt have a common last name, especially in Canada, I hope I will not have to go through this extra procedure. How do I rate people on this forum (or do I have to be a full member first?) Kris

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. Do I have to read all 700+ pages to see an overview? How can I consult the spreadsheet people write about? Anyway: here is my info: Regional Visa office: Paris, France NOC: 0643 dossier received by CIO Sydney, NS on 20-10-2010 returned because I used the...
