Congrats, just when I was about to say that this week has been kinda of uneventful for us July applicants. Let's hope there will be more by the end of day.

Thanks for the answer gifkins.

Thanks for the info. quick question. You said they asked for 5 new photos: "2012. 2.9 - Letter requesting 5 new pictures (we wrote names on the back)" What does it mean "we wrote names on the back"? Are you supposed to write your name on the back or not?

A little bit of good news. I just saw that they bumped the timeline from 18 months down to 17 months now for the HK vo.

That's the form you send with your application. You won't be sent the results they get sent to Manilla and wait there until the VO in Japan requests it.

Curious, which forms did you have to retype Luckyman? Were they the one's that need the barcode pages? And how long was it from them receiving your package to them returning it back to you?

Re: July 2012 Forms Can't find any major changes to the forms. Wish they would put the version number on their form titles so people can tell the difference right away on the cic website.

Odd it list Taipei with a total of 4 applicants. The Taipei visa office has been closed since 2010 and applications have been going through Hong Kong for the past 2 years now.

If you download the Country Specific Checklist (IMM 3907) for Taiwan from the cic website the form and instructions will be all there. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp

If I were you I would do it now and complete the application now while your husband is still around. It's easier to do the application together than when you guys are apart and have to mail things back and forth. The medical exam results will not be given to you. After you do the medical exam...

Oh the irony is that everything else takes forever for them to do, but they sure do process your fee fast. I charged it on my Visa from overseas and 1 hour later I checked my online bank and it showed that the transaction was completed and would be charged on my coming credit card bill. I've...

Hand it in with the application. DO NOT wait to do it. It will only delay the whole process. If you look at your Country Specific Checklist (I'm assuming you are applying from China) it should show that one of the items to be included with your application is the medical exam Copy 2 form.

Taiwan is actually visa exempt travel up to 6 months as of 2010. I'm in the same boat as you kentr. We were originally going to apply inland but after considering the disadvantages, especially her not being able to travel freely we opted for outland, plus the trouble of having to renew her...

Same problem. But it's not just Mac related, samething on XP, Abode does it on purpose. They want you to buy Adobe Reader Pro. With the pro version you can edit and reedit as many times as you want. With the free version it only allows you 1 edit. I bought it just for that function.

I hope not. I knew I shouldn't have read this thread after sending my application. I knew I would find something new to worry about. Darnnit!

If you are using a courier like Fedex or DHL you need to (I mean you should) send it to the other address. But as other's have pointed out it shouldn't make a difference. Read the post here...

Freaked out when I found out that I had sent it Fedex to the PO Box address instead of the physical address. But felt better once we received the signed by so-and-so that came with the delivered tracking email. But now I have a stupid paranoia driven question? We typed and printed out all our...

Cheers!

Please add me to the spreadsheet: Spousal Sponsorship - • Visa Office: Hong Kong • Medicals Done: July 17th, 2012 • Applications Sent: July 23rd, 2012 • Application Received by CIC: July 25th, 2012 (signed by A. Andrew) Much appreciated bagelbagel81.

That's what I figured, but I'm still kinda pissed at myself for not knowing this. I thought by following the guide to the letter I would be safe, I never thought I would miss something like that. Also, pissed at the lady who put our package through without advising me that Fedex usually doesn't...
