Cheers Toby, That's just what I needed to hear. I will not worry about it then (got enough other stuff to do!). Even if I end up needing it I have loads of friends here who can get it done on my behalf. Thanks! Doug

Quick question... I am going to sponsor my wife and step-daughter (inland) in a couple of months. Right now we live in China and I have been here for over 4 years. We are getting a police clearance for her while we are here, it's quick and easy, and free, so why not. What I am wondering is...

Good stuff Matt! We will try to keep it complete and simple as you did. Thanks for sharing.

I'm not sure if I completely understand but I think you are saying you went back to Ireland for 3 months after you got the clearance for when you were there for 2 years. The CIC site says you need clearance for any country where you resided for 6 consecutive months. It would seem that your...

Heather is correct about 3 months (at date of application). Here is the link.... http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/intro.asp

And now to the point... listen to CanadianWoman on this one. When I was putting together the apps to get my wife and daughter their TRV I very nearly screwed everything up by trying to provide information summarizing the whole plan (almost through to citizenship!) all in the application for a...

Two years in a row now my wife and step-daughter were granted TRVs out of Beijing within 4 working days. Also, Beijing is the only embassy I have ever called that has a human being picking up the phone! Even though I discovered that for a PR I would have to deal with the Hong Kong office...

I'm like you Ash, but might actuall estimate about 8 - 10,000! :-) What can I say, I'm a shutterbug! The thing is though, they are mostly me taking photos of them on our various outings and trips. We have loads together ant our wedding and reception though, and I am asking frirends we have...

I would second the opinion to give the host of this great site a shot at taking care of your needs. One thing I noticed about the Canadian Bar Association sites is there doesn't seem to be public assess to checking the status of lawyers. In many other countries you can go online and enter the...

This is kind of an off-topic as I know most of the threads here deal with getting into Canada on a TRV. Well, my wife and step-daughter were just issued 6 month TRVs (from China) and we will land in Canada next month. As we were applying we went for the single entry because I read that...

;D Thanks Caustic! 8)

I have nothing to ARGH about (yet) as today we got the news that my wife and step daughter will accompany me to Canada on a 6 month TRV. Once there we will begin our PR process. Our hearts go out to those with less fortunate circumstances, just the though of us possibly being apart for even a...

Hello to all, First, I would like to say that in no small way everyone who replied to this thread up until we submitted our application played a part in our success, we have our TRVs! I also have my brothers to thank. Particularly my older brother who got a midnight call from Hellen and me as...

Oh my, if we have enough in the budget I want to buy a good erhu. I play guitar and bass and want to learn erhu also. What an amazing instrument! FYI - today we received Hellen and Kellys passports sporting nice, shiney 6 month TRVs! :D In a few minutes I am going to update the other...

We are going to apply inland for the same advantages you gave for applying outland. I am a Canadian and our family (wife and step-daughter) want to remain together while I am working in Canada. We have not appliied yet so we don't have a time line to share, but even if it takes a year if we...

Mrs. Cowtown, Thank you for that, this is just the kind of first-hand experience I was hoping to hear. Cheers! Doug

Always good to hear from you CW, let me tell you a little about my wife... First though, I fully intend to aquire a main income asap... that's a given. Hellen's dream is to teach and play the gu zheng (it's like a Chinese guitar but laying down). We have invested in 2 instruments, over 2...

Hi Caustic, I have read that link, and a few others that say the same thing... I must promise to support my spouse and dependant child for 3 and 10 years, respectively. Further to that it stated, "Therefore, you have to meet certain income requirements...", however, noplace I have looked on...

Once we get the news I am going to update the thread where we discussed the TRV before. I think there are a few people interested in the outcome, and there is a fair amount I need to add to that story. Please be patient for just a little longer and you will get the news :) Happy news, we...

We wish! I mentioned in another thread about that, I was actually able to talk to a real person on the phone and was told that territory is determined by her PRCID location, not where she resides. We have family and friends in BJ and even if she went to stay with them during the process it...
