Hi fingerscrossed, Just a quick note. If you are planning on returning to Canada to live right away then I would suggest that you bring your wife with you and apply from within Canada. Its no fun being separated for long period of time. But, as Graeme has attested to, make certain that you...

Hi Graeme, That's great to hear that your wife was able to get the tourist visa to stay in Canada. My wife was living here in Canada for a year but we decided to apply out of country because she didn't have all her paperwork in order. Additionally, we didn't want her to lose her one year return...

It will take a lot longer than you like! Your wife's file will be processed through the Singapore office as is my wife's file, she is Thai. I received the letter that you mention on January 4th. I have still yet to receive anything further. I contacted the Singapore office a few weeks ago and...

I just sent a Bank Draft to Singapore for RFPF and they sent it back and said to pay the fees to Mississauga or online. So, I'm assuming that you can pay all fess online whether in country or not. Mike

Hi Mike, The Thai marriage will be valid in Canada. Does he know about the dowry? Make sure its a registered marriage as well. A lot of Thai's get a ceremonial marriage but don't actually register it. He will have to meet income requirements to be eligible to sponsor. All that and more can...

Hey Caterina and Oberm2, If you're like me you you looked to the CIC website and saw that 30% of Singapore office applications were completed in 3 months. I am now having doubts about that time as I read Caterina's last post. I am now resigning myself to the likely possibility that it will...

Hi there, I, too, am sponsoring my wife who is in Thailand. I was approved as a sponsor On January 4th, and have heard nothing as of yet. So, I will assume that you will probably have to wait just as long as myself. Your client ID# must match your last name, date of birth, and country of...

Thanks Thaiguy, I'll send them the receipts. Have a great day!!!

Hi everyone again, My wife is Thai and her application is being processed through the Singaporean office. I have been regularly sending monies to her while she is waiting for the PR process to be finalized. Should I fax records of these transfers to the Singaporean office to be added to her...

A friend has told me that the immigration office in Manila informed him that he can save some time of the PR process by paying the Right of PR fee in advance. Has anyone heard the same? Would this fee be paid in Canada or to the processing Immigration Office? Thanks mike

Hi Catarina, Well, hopefully you and my wife will be quickly processed. It's very unfortunate that that the process takes so long. Take care mike

Hi there, Our application is being processed by Singapore as my wife is Thai. I was approved as a sponsor on January 4th, at which time the application was forwarded to the Singapore office. Haven't heard anything as of yet. No one likes waiting but at least she doesn't have to shovel snow! mike

Thanks guys, I've heard similiar things. We had been hoping to apply for PR from within Canada but she had to go back and get all her paperwork and translations in order. I question if making it difficult to re-enter Canada while waiting for PR is really a necessary policy for our country...

Hi there, My wife and I were married in Canada in January while she was visiting. She has recently returned to Thailand and we have just submitted her PR application. Is it possible for her to obtain a visitor visa to return to Canada while her application is being processed? Thanks Mike

Hello, My wife and I were married here in Canada in February while she was on a TRV. We've been having a difficult time obtaining her birth certificate from Thailand and have decided that it would be best for her to return to Thailand to organize her paperwork and apply for PR from over there...

Hi, I'm marrying my fiance on Feb 14th here in Canada. Do we have to wait until we receive the marriage certificate before applying for PR. I understand that it can take 2-3 months before we receive the certificate. Thanks Mike and Lana

Dear Sir(s), I wish to sponser my Thai partner after we get married in September. I presently have not filed taxes in 3 years and have unpaid taxes owing from before that period. I was also found guilty, as the Broker of a real estate firm, of not opening my books to the regulating authority...
