Hello, My wife who is Korean, came to Canada under Family Class Sponsorship, she has been here for 1500+ days and we are now ready to apply for her Canadian citizenship. A couple start up questions that I am hoping you fine folks could help me out with: -her PR expires in September 2019 - not...

Thank you very much Seym! Follow-up to the language component: any recommendations for an English-equivalency test she should be looking at? And what kind of scores will she be looking to achieve in order to successfully "pass" her language component of her citizenship?

Hello, My wife is a permanent resident, on a Family Class (spousal) sponsorship (me - Canadian citizen). Just about to get things going and have a few questions off the bat: 1.) My wife's PR Card expires next October (2019) - if I start the application process now for her citizenship, am I...

Hello, My wife landed in Canada in September 2014. We have moved once since then. She has her PR Card etc, do we need to update (anywhere?, anyone?) of our new mailing address? Or, does it not matter once she has landed and has her PR card at this point, until she needs to renew anyways...

Hi folks, Question for you regarding land entry into the USA from Canada... My wife and I live in Vancouver, my wife is Korean, she landed in 2014, and is a Canadian permanent resident. All sorted there. We want to go and check out a Mariners game, and are going to drive down. Besides her...

Hi folks, It has been a while since I have logged on. I hope everyone is doing well. My wife and I are settling down nicely, we have been in country for over a year now. A couple of questions for you all: 1.) When are moving away from the original address listed on my wife's permanent...

Hi Jaylee, I did my process in Korea, but we went to basically ANY notary - there isn't a strict "must visit these people" lists for notary publics like there is for say, doing your medical. So, if this is any help, I'd say the embassy would be fine, as I showed up to a guy in Daegu who had...

Hi everyone, It's been a while, things are going well here. Now that tax season is upon us, I have a question for all of you who spent a good chunk of time in Korea. I moved to Korea in 2008. I filed for 2008 and 2009. I was then advised that since my ties in Korea were stronger than that...

Hi folks, I hope you are doing well. My wife landed on September 16th and we received her PR Card in the mail on Tuesday this week! It took about 5 weeks by mail. When she arrived to YVR, her (our) address was still registered as our Korean address. She simply told the visa officer our...

Hi everyone, Just wondering what are the pros and cons to my wife changing her Korean last name to my last name upon arrival to Canada? Thanks!

Thanks everyone One additional question for you all: It lists my Korean address on my wife's COPR. I'm here now in Canada. Should we be changing this detail now so she doesn't have any extra questions at YVR? Or does it not matter since she got her visa and I only recently have arrived before...

Hi everyone, Special thanks to everyone who has helped along the way, I'm sure I'll miss a few, but special thanks to: bartjones, Rob_TO, red tape sucks etc! You truly helped me from start to finish on this process. My wife received her COPR in the mail yesterday. It took 8 days for DHL...

Hi everyone, I would like to thank everyone for their help and support. This forum is special. Other forums I've been on seem to always have trolls everywhere. I've found this forum site truly unique and everyone is so helpful and genuine. Literally, without the help of you all, I would...

Good to know. Thanks for the info red tape sucks A Canadian customs official told me when I checked in my goods to follow in Vancouver that it will be shipped directly to its final destination. He could have been just blowing smoke up my you know where though haha How long did it take exactly...

Congrats red tape sucks! 1. How long from Decision Made to getting your COPR in the mail? 2. We went with Onnury Green as well. I've went through customs with B4 forms and my own list, stamped and approved by customs, as they didn't show up before I left (wife in Korea now when movers came)...

Hey folks, just a clarification here: ECAS says exactly this: A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision. When they are talking about "contacting," shall I assume they mean a DHL package arriving with a COPR to our house? Thank you...

Hi everyone, some updates here on my side, hoping some light could be shed: Here's the latest timeline: July 7, 2014 - Appendix A, Intent - Additional Documents requested by Manila --sent by EMS about 5 days later--- July 28, 2014 - ECAS changed to "IN PROCESS" August 8, 2014 - ECAS changed to...

Hi there! Just a small error on my portion of the spreadsheet! JULY 28, 2014 "IN PROCESS" (not August 5, 2014) & further information to add: AUGUST 8, 2014 "DECISION MADE" I can only assume this is a good thing?? Thanks again, Marticus

Hi There, Please update the spreadsheet, as my ECAS has changed it's status: "July 28, 2014 - application "IN PROCESS"" Thank you! :)

Thank you! My degree is in Sport Management, so I'll be working in the athletics departments at a university here! Pretty pumped!
