    Manila Tread for English Speakers - join here!

    We haven't even gotten a request for the passport yet. Looking at e-cas is like reading the same page in a book over and over again trying to find something in the story that you think you might have missed.

    ANYONE ELSE APPLYING FOR PR FROM KOREA?

    Yeah, the only emails we have received were the Acknowledgement of Receipt and the request for additional documents (criminal record check for me, entry/exit records for my wife, etc) but we've written several times to the Manila embassy and have received mail back telling us that it's in a...

    I suppose the worry and concern could be all for not. The only thing then is that we haven't gotten SA. I haven't received anything by email nor has my Mrs. It's good to know though that my e-cas isn't unusual and is along the same lines as someone else.

    Yeah, we have a file number and can get e-cas but it only shows the date that the file was received, the date that the process was started and that the medical has been received. Fini.

    They've communicated with me through email before (at least the Seoul embassy did) for AOR and additional documents. But I was told the same thing by my MP's office: if Manila has started processing, then SA has gone through. So, why not correspondence to say SA was done?

    ANYONE ELSE APPLYING FOR PR FROM KOREA?

    Yeah, they asked for the CRC as part of the additional required documents. As far as I know, there haven't been any red flags or strange circumstances except that the embassy has been totally uncommunicative. If it weren't for my wife randomly checking the Seoul embassy website, we wouldn't...

    Yeah, I've been in touch with my MP's office and they've gotten the same response from the embassy ... that it's in line. I'm totally going nuts. After we submitted the application, the Seoul embassy requested a criminal record check from the RCMP. That took something like 4 months. Then...

    ANYONE ELSE APPLYING FOR PR FROM KOREA?

    Thanks Rob! Our application was definitely transferred to Manila. We didn't official word from the embassy in Seoul that it was going to happen (no email, phone call, nothing) but we've been communicating with the embassy in Manila and had to send my RCMP criminal record check there after it...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Hey guys, My wife and I are applying for her PR. The process was started on September 10, 2012. We know that the visa and immigration office in Seoul has been shut down and everything has been moved to Manila. Medical results have been received, we've sent the RCMP criminal record check they...

    ANYONE ELSE APPLYING FOR PR FROM KOREA?

    My wife and I started the PR process back in 2012 (processing began on September 10) and since then, the immigration and visa office in the Seoul embassy had been shut down and everything has been transferred to Manila. We feel kind of helpless. Emails from the Manila embassy basically just...

    The application process was started on September 10, 2012. But I have no idea when the application was transferred from Seoul to Manila except to know that the immigration and visa services were shut down in Seoul back in January. Any advice or insight?

    It probably doesn't help that the processing officers are on strike at the moment too aren't they?

    From the looks of things Dan, you're much further along than I am. I haven't even gotten sponsorship approval yet.

    My wife and I started the process at the embassy in Seoul but they've since shut down the immigration and visa service at the Seoul embassy and have moved the operations to Manila. Is there anyone else out there in a similar situation or that has gone through the process (living in Korea and...

    KOREA-BASED COUPLE, APPLICATION BEING PROCESSED IN MANILA

    My wife and I started the process almost a year ago at the embassy in Seoul. Since then, the immigration and visa services office at the Seoul embassy has been closed and all of the applications are now being processed at the embassy in Manila. Is anyone out there going through the same thing?

    Can I go back to Canada before application is finalized?

    Thanks Leon! Is it normal for the mailing address to be listed as a Canadian address or is it better to have our address in Korea listed as the mailing address? Also, the website says that the online address update can be done for applications that are being done within Canada. Should I...

    Can I go back to Canada before application is finalized?

    Oh and second question, just for the sake of not starting another thread ... When I check the process status online, it lists my mailing address as being in Canada but my actual residence that we're living at is in South Korea ... I know this is going to sound dumb because the answer is...
