    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Thanks for clarifying bartjones, wasn't sure exactly what ON required. I got my AB license with no worries on Friday with the driver's abstract and Korean license. When i asked, she let me keep my Korean license as well (didn't have to surrender it) because I told her I'd be returning to Korea...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Hey everyone, I'm back in Canada. Want to get back into Canadian healthcare. Just a matter of rolling into any healthcare office and stating to them that I'm back? Or do I even need to do that? because I'm starting work next week, and maybe my employer will just do that for me? Also, do I...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    hey again kazzy, When did you send your application package in? I'm assuming early mid December-ish? I'm assuming you are an outland (Manila office) applicant? If so, we are pretty much on the same timeline, as I just got the additional docs request too and sent it off... via EMS ... haha...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Hey there! It's province dependent, but I know that in BC and AB, you'll need your Korean driver's license (current) + Korean driver's abstract (you can get Korean and English copies of this at your local police station) It's a print-out and I think they charged me 3000W. Bring those two...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    haha I think it's all good, red tape sucks! i've been tracking it, and the 'courier' tried to drop it off on Saturday, but the offices were closed. Meaning, it's a guy delivering it, rather than just tucking it in the mailbox, which isn't what they are wanting, I'm sure! haha so EMS good to...

    Thanks very much red tape sucks! done and done! Also, might be dumb to ask now, as I've already sent it, but just looking for confirmation... Manila requested a couple docs, I put them together over the weekend. They requested specifically that they be sent by "courier" to their headquarters...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Thanks Red Tape Sucks, Good to know. Onnury Green (as per your recommendation, thank you!) doesn't come to our place in Korea till August 5th, so I have to make this "list" up. Mind telling me what they had for 'headings' on the list? I'm assuming it's something like: -Item...

    Hey onwards, RE: customs declaration THANK YOU very much for all the times onwards (and bartjones) I am sure you have saved me A TON of headaches! I was under the 'assumption" that I could just show up to customs upon shipment arrival a few months later and sort everything out from there...

    Hey guys, Manila requested additional docs like I stated before: Appendix A (pretty straight forward there, only 1 sheet), and "Intent" I've included a ton of stuff (new stuff since my application first went out back in January): 1.) Sponsor's Relocation Strategy Outline (original & updated...

    JANUARY 2014 OUTLAND Applicants - Join here

    Although I'm from a PPR exempt country, I got the same message as Gumper did (on July 9th) about re-sending in my Appendix A. I was told on another thread, that who ever is currently the sponsor goes under the "spouse" column, and the sponsorED person is the "Applicant." I put "N/A" on the...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Hey everyone, just wondering if there is some sort of time frame I can guage ourselves in the process... When Manila asks for some additional docs does this give us some sort of timescale? or... is it just random?

    JANUARY 2014 OUTLAND Applicants - Join here

    Hi there Edgehead. Cool. No they didn't request anything from my passport at all. Although, I did provide my passport photo page photocopy in my application (even though it wasn't requested) So maybe that helped a bit. Thanks for your message!

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Thanks! This one was kinda weird that they would request it, I DID fill this one out in my initial application, mind you the one they sent me looks a little different. But, I'll do it again :)
