Quick question for those of you In Alberta. I want to put my wife on the health care, so I went to the office near where I live, and they said they need a document or permit stating that she could legally stay in Canada. When we went through customs, they just asked questions and then stamped...

Congrats Bart. Glad the process is finally finished for you. Appreciate all the help and info you've provided for all of us. Second update for us: We landed in Edmonton yesterday and got through customs fairly easily. It was definitely necessary to har her return flight with us. They were...

First important update for us that might let others at the beginning of the process know what to expect: My wife and I sent our paperwork through EPS on July 10th from Seoul and got the text confirming delivery on July 13th. Since then, I hadn't heard anything at all from the Missassauga...

Okay, thanks for the info Bart. I may have to do something similar. I guess another concern that has raised now is that they have had our package since July 10th and I havent received the email confirmation yet. Should I be worried about that? Ct

I haven't received any communications from them at all to this point. The only thing I've heard is from the mail tracking notifying that they received it. I'm drawing a blank, what is the AOR?

Re: box size, as the previous poster said, you are allowed 20kg not 20lbs. We sent fairly large boxes and the post office had no issues. I was looking at how to change addresses and I see how to change it on the site for my wife, but how do I change it as a sponsor? Unless I misread it, I...

We sent it on the "slow boat" so none of it will get there until after I'm already there as well. They said 50-70 days and I'll be there in 40. It is my understanding that as long as I put my name as sender and reciever on the boxes, and have item lists and values with me at customs, then I'll...

Hey Kazzy, I'm doing the same thing as you are. We don't have anything big, so we're just sending stuff through mail as we box it up. Nothing has reached Canada yet, so I don't have any updated info for you, but I have shipped boxes and even a full suitcase before and they came through alright...

Hey guys, not much to report but a few questions about shipping. We sent our package to Mississauga on July 10 so we are awaiting the first contact(hopefully confirmation of sponsorship) in a couple weeks. Right now, I'm working on shipping things to Canada. We don't have any major furniture...

Ok now that I'm putting the final envelopes together, I do have a couple questions: 1)a question on one of the sponsor forms asks for proof of returning to settle. Did you put those documents In the same envelope attached to that form? Or did most of you put it in the "supporting documents"...

Lol I'm glad for the Alberta health system too. If correct,y wife can get it right away too right? And Also a fan of the Gagne trade!!lol. Bigger and might know what to do in his own end? Yes please. Losing one of the longest smurf oilers is a bit sad, but not as sad as just keeping them all...

Wow the iPhone autocorrect was pretty bad on my last post. Sorry about that lol. It's probably really minor, but I was just talking about the forms that have the validate function on them. When you print them, you get 1-2 pages of barcodes that go with the document. Ct

Thanks a lot Marticus, that's really helpful. I'll definitely do that closer to my leaving date. On the application topic, I printed all the documents and paid the fees today. Just waiting for my wife's medical appointment and want to fine comb the printed documents one more time. The barcodes...

Slightly off topic, but what did you guys do about pension before leaving? Some have said that it's better to leave it and it will be applied when I retire, but I know most people take it before they go. My situation is further complicated because I paid it at my old school but my current school...

Thanks for the help. I decided to put both addresses as my Korean one for now to avoid confusion and to keep them the same as my wife's. Also, I did write a cover letter and noted various things in it as you mentioned bartjones. Just waiting on translations to come back, then I'll print...

For the address, it's where we will be staying when we first get to Canada, and we expect to be there by mid September, so I thought it would save me an address change. We put the pictures in order and put labels on the back with date, occasion, who's in it etc. Just wasn't sure what to do...

My last post was In the middle of another conversation so I didn't see a response on it. Would there be a problem if I put my mailing address as my parents Canadian address and my residential address as my Korean address? I still get Canadian Mail to my parents place. Just wondering because my...

Hmm, that seems a bit stressful considering all the other stuff happening around that time, but I'll look into how to do that. On another topic, I'm just doing my final sweep of the forms before printing and had a question. I put down my Korean address(of course) for my residential address, but...

That's tempting, but I've heard that they might not let her board here in Korea if it's a one way flight with no returns. Is that correct? Aero plan is out as I dont(but really should) have a card for them, so I don't have points to use. In Canada I had always used my parents number.

Hey guys, It's taking longer to get things together than I was hoping but we should have everything to send by Monday. Aside for that, my question is about flights. We are going on our honeymoon on the way to Canada(flying to Hawaii then to Canada is the same if not cheaper). As a result, we...
