    SEOUL Guy- in my experience (this has worked for my wife and I). I submitted Viber chat logs that are worth one week of conversations- divided them up by month and put title pages on them..(you dont need to submit so much to CIC-- they are looking for consistency in your communication not quantity

    Very true.. the medical should have been done at the start of the process if you are being sponsored unless you are coming in landed immigrant and applying on your own. If that is the case. you will have to wait until the prompt for CEM to ask for your medical. Hope this helps.

    As a first time immigrant from the Philippines, I would take Philippine Airlines-- as a balik bayan! I would take Cathay--or Korean Airlines-- as a cheap bastard ( I would take Air Canada or Japan Airlines) but every single one of them will have delays! (its winter here first of all)

    They will most likely just send the passport back to you with the COPR and visa attached without calling you. They never called my wife when she got hers.

    Hi Wella, I have been following some of your posts and it seems like I don't understand why you have to get a police clearance in China..(isnt there a Chinese embassy in the Philippines where you can get that) I hope things will get better from here on so you can finally reunite with your love...
