    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Sorry, wasn't trying to be misleading. I just like living among the mountains where you can literally hike up a mountain in your backyard and ski down it. I'm a prairie boy though, from the flattest part of Canada, so I mean no disrespect to AB.

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    We may be off to Alberta yet. Lot's of jobs there. I've applied for at least 6 in the area already. I kind of like Lethbridge. The 14 month thing is the processing time for the perm res visa in Manila...or so I read on their site. I posted two links for shipping. The Hyundai one is actually...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Yup, but I'll be less than an hour from Mt Baker. My kind of world class.

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Actually, we're moving to BC. I've thought about Alberta many times, but prefer to be as close to the mountains as possible without making the wife feel like she's actually in a mountain town. I have skier blood I desperately wish to pass on to my boy (and now future child). In BC we can apply...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Hyundai: 1.2 million for 3 cubic meters. So basically 400,000 for a cubic meter with a minimum of 3 cubic meters. Nothing yet from Hanjin, but I have some friends who have used them and use them exclusively. I haven't yet. This doesn't include packing, which from what I've heard should be...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Got our forms off 2 weeks ago!!! Just found out the wife is pregnant... With a potential 14 week processing time and no medical coverage for the wife in Canada until 3 months after she gets her permanent residency...all I have to say is this kind of sucks. As the father of a Canadian in in the...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Stupid questions: 1 - I've asked this before but...What is the minimum necessary income? On the sponsor evaluation list of documents to provide it says I will need to prove I have the minimum funds yet no where is there a mention of what that is. Terribly annoying. Most of our cash will not be...

    Refundable ticket in order to enter Canada

    I'm wondering what people know about the topic. Do I need a return ticket to the country of origin or can I get a ticket to Seattle? One way tickets to Seattle are cheap and fully refundable. Which airlines offer fully refundable tickets to countries over seas? One way "Flex" tickets from Air...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    A question about refundable tickets: I've been looking for refundable tickets from Vancouver and I'm wondering what people's thoughts are on the matter. So far my search shows that I can get relatively cheap tickets to Seattle that are 100% refundable. The only tickets to Korea would cost me...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    CanNZ: Given that the Canadian dollar and Korean won fluctuate, I would send them the information in Korean Won. Korea2Canada: I'll be sending images done on a colour printer on A4 paper with the details next to them as I'm using a lot of images taken by friends and family and available rather...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Lots of helpful info here! Thanks guys. - What have you guys done regarding showing your assets? Has anyone found an amount that they require. For example the amount of money you earn yearly prior to going to Canada, the amount of money you have in your bank account or the total value of your...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Ya, that still seems to hold true, the only difference is now I need them to sign an affidavit in front of a legal witness.

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Unfortunately I asked this question prior to reading this section of the guide. It wasn't this strict for my son's citizenship application. It looks like I will not be using a university prof to sign any affidavits. At that time all we needed was a third party of reputable standing in the...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    So based on that, what I did would be acceptable presumably. It worked for my son's citizenship. It gets a bit silly though. We translated the documents and the "notary public" (an English prof) signed an affidavit that they were translated accurately and a true representation of the original...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    My son was born here in Korea and I applied for his Canadian Citizenship. My wife and I translated the documents we needed ourselves then had a Korean professor of English (who happens to be my boss) who signed an affidavit saying she had translated them and that they were true. I suppose we...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    A few questions: 1 - Does anyone know of other options in Korea for translating and notarizing documents? My wife and I translated documents for our son's citizenship papers and had a professor at my school sign them. I'd like to do the same thing again, but if anyone has had problems doing...

    sponsor for permanent resident or work visa

    I'm bit confused about the visas my wife requires..or more precisely what would be most beneficial to us. Can I sponsor my wife for both a work visa and a permanent resident visa at the same time? My wife and I have been married for 5 years, (she's Korean, I'm Canadian) and we've been living...
