    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    The big move is approaching quickly! We will be on a plane and headed back to Canada in 19 days. I just want to make a list of what we will be doing in the next couple weeks and bringing with us on the plane. If I am missing anything, an help would be greatly appreciated. Before we leave 1)...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    We just used ONNURY Green Shipping on Thursday, and they were great. They have a minimum fee of 1.1 million won, and that gets you packed, shipped to Vancouver, train to Toronto, and truck to my place in Pickering. The 1.1 also includes your first 3 "cubics", with each additional cubic being...

    Thanks Rob! We will be 6 month into the application process when we arrive, so I will apply for my wife's at the same time. Worst thing they can do is say no..... One other thing. Which CIC/application documents should we have with us when we arrive at immigration in Toronto? Thanks again boys!

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Hello all, A little while ago someone (I think it was either BartJones or Rob-TO) posted about getting OHIP before your spouses PR card approval. I just want to confirm and make sure that I understand the basic process correctly. We will be moving to Canada July 12, 2014, on the following...

    I wonder if those going through the process already will be grandfathered in? I can't believe that they are going to make this even more difficult for people...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Seems as though there are more than a few people on here who are over the 14 month mark. Are there any factors that have lead to the longer waits? We are headed to Canada in July, 7 months after our application was sent and 6 month since I was approved as a sponsor. When I see how long some...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Is there a number I can call from overseas to talk to someone? I haven't been able to log in for several weeks now. I did receive an email from them today, but it was of no help and was just another form letter response.

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Hello all, For some reason, I am no longer able to log into the CIC website to check the status of my application. I have also tried to log in under my wife's name,but no luck that way either. Has anyone had a similar problem??? I just e-mailed Manilla about the problem, but I am not holding...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    I agree that something needs to be done.... like moving the office back to Seoul where it was taking a fraction of the time to process!! But I also think that the process is a mess now, because so many people were taking advantage of the system to get fake wives residency or citizenship. It...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Now I am getting the exact same message when I try to log in. I guess I should give them a call and find out what is going on. I've never had a problem logging in before.

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    How do I sign into my wife's account? My wife has not received any emails from CIC yet and when I use the UCI that I was sent I only get this message "We were not able to identify you using the information you provided. There could be three possible reasons:" followed by list of reasons. Would...

    So both my wife and I have separate accounts? Are they both updated with the same information? Thanks!

    This is fantastic news!!! Thank you BartJones!! I wonder if my wife will have that AFP status before we leave in July.... would be nice!

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Hey Tom, What we did was simply purchase a return ticket. The difference in price between a one way ticket and a return ticket was less than $200. A fully refundable ticket is crazy expensive and if for some reason she needs to return, you will be out a lot of money. We simply bought the return...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Hello Again, I have noticed that many of you who are a lot further along into this process have been asked by Manilla to send additional information. What kinds of extra information have you been asked to send? I would really like to get a head of the game and get together all of the extra...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    boxes of books, clothes, a couple pieces of my sons furniture (Pororo couch, mat, Moms Board). Nothing too big, but enough to make it worth doing instead of box by box through mail. The one place my wife talked to would come pack everything, ship it and take it to the house in Canada and even...

    Flights are now booked for July! Does anyone have a good recommendation for a shipping company, or ones to stay away from? We are looking for one which will go door to door from our place in Anyang to my dads place in Pickering. Thanks guys!

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Quick question for you all.... Once your wife receives her notification that she has been accepted for the PR Card, does that start any kind of clock for when she must enter the country? So, if she received the notification in November, would we be ok waiting until February/March to move...
