I'm not sure, Greenish. We're still waiting. Has anything changed for you?

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp 8 months for Paris.

OK our dates are very similar, we were asked to do a new medical and criminal check at the same time in May. Then, in August we got that request for just the biopage and updated Korean address to 'ensure proper delivery'. You are both in Canada, right? My partner thinks that maybe because we...

Oh by the way, did they request a biopage and all of the pages of the passport or a certificate of travel history? We had a request for the biopage only and still trying to figure out if the request was a good indication that we're going to hear soon.

Who knows? I do hope that we both hear some good news sometime soon. They say 'no news is good news' and after this long, I do hope it's great news--for all of us. Hey, Stevelo, try to add the dates to your profile so we can compare all dates.

yeah who knows, I was just trying to offer one possible reason in an attempt to understand the method to their madness. I have no idea why they would do this, but I'd like to think they have a plan.

Thanks for the info, they requested the passport biopage 3 weeks ago (but no record of entry/exit info from Korean immigration from age of 18). How did your wife get that? I'm wondering if my partner should go and get one done anyway in case they ask for it because he will be returning to Canada...

Not sure, but ours were sent from Korea to Manila too.

I have no idea, sorry :( If it's all going to Manila, I'm guessing it will speed it up.

Stevelo, We're not married, we applied as common-law (same-sex). But, my partner has no family, we've been living together for 5 years (everything was divided in both of our names etc.), we were unable to get married in Korea for obvious reasons etc. When it all goes through, we'll get...

It may actually cut it down a little, most Asian countries have to send their meds to Manila because the head med. office is there. So, what happens is meds are sent there, then we have to wait for them to be processed and returned. It may make things slow while it is transitioning, but it will...

I would look further into it, but every time we have any kind of correspondence, they say that if we contact them, it could delay the process even more. Kind of feel as though we're being held hostage haha Stevelo and I have been following each other's cases for a LONG time. He's visiting Korea...

It's been 15 months since they received our application in Seoul. They have now asked for all of our stuff twice, don't get your hopes up. I've been there, it all seemed to move quickly at first, then nothing. We're not the only ones in this position either. I do hope things move quickly for...

Any news yet?

I hope so for your sake, Runningfree. But, their process was quite quick in the beginning for us, then nothing for almost a year. Don't get your hopes up, not trying to burst your bubble but I don't want you to be disappointed. Better to be prepared and if it is quick for you, then you will have...

Yep, that was the first we heard back from them...3 months.

As a permanent resident, I believe she needs to be spend a certain amount of time in Canada. If she is studying abroad, she cannot fulfill her residency requirements. Even if you defer your year, she still won't be able to spend that year abroad. I think you're going to have to choose one or the...

As for the generic info form...I don't know what that is and I sure hope they don't contact us to do that too! I am also thinking that the processing time on the website is not even close, otherwise how could they have just begun processing 11 months after they received it?!

I think it was 2-3 days. We went the next day for the second med. and the Dr. we chose was right across from the Korean embassy, so my partner had to have a friend in Korea get the orig. and my partner had to send a document signed by the Kor. embassy in Toronto to say that it was Ok for them to...

Didn't you have that information in your application? We had to include all of that info in our application in the beginning--16 months ago.
