    Waiting for Philippines to process paperwork

    Is calling my MP going to do anything at all? Or is this just a pipe dream that I hold on to? Wife is waiting for her PR papers... send 'em in June. Looks like 13 month wait and they just apparently started processing hers as of Sept. 13 months from Sept, if I'm reading the CIC website...

    Denied for TRV, wondering best course of action...

    So, I met a girl in South Korea while I was there for 3 years. She's a Chinese citizen, but a South Korean permanent resident. She works in retail in Korea. We want to get married, and we read that the best way to do it is to bring her over on a TRV and then marry her locally (so we don't...

    Fiance coming to Canada on TRV... how long does she say she's coming?

    So one of the questions on her application are how long do you plan to come to Canada for? Do we say forever? Do we say 2 months? I don't want to be fraudulent, and we are planning on getting married. What do I say?

    Sponsoring my Vietnamese fiance, met in South Korea... please help

    Well she was on a student visa in a masters program here in Korea, so... she really had a strong tie to come back. Vietnam might be a different story. But yeah, I think she'll be fine if she just gets a note from her boss saying she's worked there for the past 3 years- right? I really hope so...

    Sponsoring my Vietnamese fiance, met in South Korea... please help

    Actually, she's been to both Japan and South Korea, and both are difficult for Vietnamese to enter. She has no family in Canada (other than me, but we're not married yet... so I guess she's not my family). She has no bank account because many Vietnamese don't have one. They don't trust the...

    Sponsoring my Vietnamese fiance, met in South Korea... please help

    Yeah, she seems a bit worried about getting the TRV approved. I wrote a different thread asking for help and it's gone unanswered- but I would like to pose the same questions here. 1) She's worried the officials in her country will only operate under a large bribe. I believe they're employed...

    Sponsoring my Vietnamese fiance, met in South Korea... please help

    My question then becomes, ... a TRV's job is to bring someone over with the intent of them going back. Is it not fraudulent to bring them over with the intent of them not going back?

    Setting up for success with TRV - Questions by me, please answer :D

    Hello, My fiance is planning on coming to Canada on a TRV. She is Vietnamese and there are a few problems with the TRV process and her country. The first one is strange. She believes there is corruption and unless she bribes officials, they will likely reject her. This is near impossible...

    Sponsoring my Vietnamese fiance, met in South Korea... please help

    Wow! First, thanks for all the amazing responses guys. In a world that I've felt kinda lost in the past 2 months (trying to figure out how I'm going to get her to Canada) things are becoming a bit more clear. So, thanks! Second up, my income doesn't matter so long as she doesn't have a kid...

    Sponsoring my Vietnamese fiance, met in South Korea... please help

    We technically could have lived together for a year... I mean, she spent more time at my place than hers- but we've only been together around 8 months. The other problem is, she still had a residence on school- so how do I prove that we lived together? We did take 2 vacations together and...
