Heh kayaker. How's canadian life? Little cold I hear! We're still enjoying rather balmy weather over here. The one thing I think would be interesting to see on the spread sheets is what country the applicant in applying from and whether the sponsor is in Canada or out of Canada. I just can't...

Great news. Hope you hear soon. Heather

Heh teamgo. So happy for you. And so jealous How did you receive this info??

Heh Kayaker, Still around, eh? Looks like everything got settled for you. Glad to hear it! It's true, I thought we would be one of the easiest cases since the validity of our marriage really can't be questioned. And I never thought they would question our intensions regarding our plan to move...

There are still a lot of us from December too, waiting to hear good news. Btw, what do you mean those of us that don't speak Tagalog have to wait longer?? What difference does it make? Heather

Good news for you and your family gumper.

We want to leave as soon as we can but have our kids to take into consideration. However, the faster we have the PR, the faster we can set everything into motion. Was the second medical the same as the first and were they the same cost? Heather

Was reading today that the government actually has a quota for PR for each office. Do you think Manila has reached it quota and no other visa's will be issued until the new year?? (Sort of asked jokenly but you've got to wonde??)

What great news! おめでとうございます。

So...our medical one year date is coming up in 3 weeks. I'm assuming that means that we will have to pay another $300 and re-do the medical. Anyone know how that affects the expiry date of the PR approval when we get it? That is to say, will we then have up to November next year before we have...

Yes, I agree. And probably more specific. I too really think something needs to be done but am a little confused about what. I have written my future MP about these concerns but wonder if cbc would pick up the story. They have done a few stories on immigration recently and might want t continue...

Yes, the mp is trying to help. But all they can say is wait. I sent them a lette more than a week ago and still nothing. Maybe the letter was too strong but, come on, this is crazy. And if they can't do anything about it, who can?

Hmm. This is also a little off the topic of PR and a little personal but there are many reasons we want to leave Japan that are not related to earthquakes and Fukushima. The biggest one is that my parents are getting older and need help. Can't do that from here. Also, my kids are canadian and I...

Wow. Someone is screwing up big time. This letter makes no sense at all. I've never heard of anyone receiving this type of letter without specifying what they want. Sounds like your application was not complete. I'd write back asking what this means. Heather

Yep, still Canadian citizen. And yes, this would be easy to do if we were a young married couple. But we have three children to consider. We can't just pick up and leave easily. This isn't to suggest that we have no intention of moving but timing with schools, jobs etc is much more restrictive...

Hi, just curious what other documentation did they ask you for? Are both the sponsor and the applicant living in Japan? That's where we ran into trouble. I'm the sponsor and because I live here they wanted me to prove that I wanted to return to Canada. Hard to do for us as I severed all ties...

Just curious, is your wife japanese? I wonder if there are different piles for phillipins, Japan and South Korea??

Isn't that funny. My MP (even though my ppr was June) said that my background check wasn't even started yet. This is the first time I've even heard of background checks other than the required documents we sent in. I asked them for clarification so if I hear exactly what that means I'll let you...

Oh, I'm so sorry. I had to giggle a bit when I read who your MP is. Talk about bad luck!

Thank you. I wish you all the luck. Let us know what happens.
