Hi STEVELO, I wouldn't send another application if I were you. We applied from Seoul and are now in Canada, we left after the 9 month processing time. Now, here comes the surprising part--E-cas changed about a week and a half ago to say that it had just started being processed on May 3rd. That's...

Just to update our info, we checked e-cas and our status changed to 'in-process' as of May 3rd. Seoul received our application on June 22nd 2011, March would've been the average processing time of 9 months and now that they've just changed our status to in-process makes me think that the avg...

Have you received any information from the embassy at all? In my experience, we have recieved everything right at the time we expected. Of course we had hoped it would be earlier, and we're still waiting for the final results, but we have just a couple more days for that to reach the 9 month...

We're almost at 9 months from the time that our application was received in Seoul. Since beginning our preparation, filing the application, and during the waiting process the processing time has changed from 6 months, to 7 months, to 8 months, and now to 9 months (and that's based on what's gone...

The processing time is now 9 months. We are one day after you for the Seoul office receipt. Still waiting here. We still have 2 more days until the average processing time. Then, I'm not sure what to do. Have you heard anything yet?

haha of course, how could I be so dumb?! So, basically when the paperwork is done, they send the documents and that's it? They don't request the passport at all?

I'm sorry, but I don't know what PP is/are.

Thanks, Charlie. I thought that was the case~much appreciated. Now, if we receive the request for a passport close to the time he has to land (April 11th), that process seems to take about 3 weeks, how can he send the passport, get the visa, and land all within that time? We thought that by...

Oh, and one follow-up question, if we both go to Canada together before the process is finished, should we get a special visa before we leave South Korea because I am sponsoring him as my common-law partner? If we do, should we get it before we leave South Korea or when he goes through...

Canadianwoman, you have always provided such excellent information. Thank you so much :)

Thanks for your replies, everyone, but I know that he can only land once, and I know about the medical stuff. I am now wondering if he can land, and then fly back to South Korea immediately after landing?

Thank for your comment :) Sk is visa exempt, but I'm wondering if he can land and immediately return to Sk for a short time?

I am sponsoring my partner from Seoul, the average processing time began as 7 months, then changed to 8 months, and now it's 9 months. My partner took his medical on April 11th 2011, so I know he has to land in Toronto by then. But, we haven't heard anything from CDN Immigration yet. We have to...

Great news! Congratulations on finally finishing the application process. It's good to know that they do everything by regular mail, I don't think we've actually received anything by mail, from the Seoul office. But, they're very good at calling and returning phone calls. We've found the Seoul...

Oh sorry about that. Thanks for the well wishes, and all the best to you during your application process.

Have you checked e-cas? https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/?app=ecas&lang=en

Thanks, Kedeisha, that's what I thought. :)

Out of curiosity, does the PPR come from Canada, when it is outland, or from the embassy?

Thanks, Momolar, not the news I was hoping for haha But, I appreciate the info. Congratulations on the approval of your application and all the best!

I agree that there is no quick way to do this. It took my partner and I a year just to prepare our application. I recommend getting letters from friends and family who acknowledge your relationship (we sent in 11 letters). Include copies of leases bills etc. in both of your names. We got the...
