So our stuff is out by courier. They should have it by end of this week. counting the days we should get the passport with Visa back first 3 days of November, which leaves us less than 2 weeks to land. Hope all will go smooth. Its a nail biter, haha. And yay, Air Canada has seast sales from...

She will need a new medical. She can wait for the VO to request new medicals or she can get a new medical depending on your VO's timeline in order to reduce the waiting time. Medicals expire after 1 year after they have been done, no matter when they receive your application.

Haha, my wife did the same. She said that she never believed me that our application will go through without problems and that it will be faster than the stated timeline. Felt good to say: I told you.:)

HSBC has even branches in Toronto. There is also a Bank of China Branch in Markham that I have seen. Maybe that would be a option for you if you are a BOC client in China. You might have the option of just transferring money within Bank of China to the Toronto Branch. Check in China with a Bank...

PO Box address is for regular mail, the other one for courier. I would print out and mail it to them plus I would email it back to them adding that you printed the labels with your address and sended them with your address you want to receive your visa documents. You can ask too if a passport is...

FS, I found a one way flight for $750 from Hong Kong to Toronto on chinatravel.com I always booked flights over them in the past. Kayak.com is pretty good too .We go with one way ticket as we will fly for spring festival to china and want to fly together. I don't know if I can get same flight...

Yes this is right. It is a sticker. That is why the passport is requested. I think that they want to make sure the passport is valid too. You might be right with the visa exempt countries.

The holiday in HK is 3 days, so all gets delayed by 3 days. I hope my wife can get tomorrow the notarized translation and send all with passport via courier. So you hear sooner than we are. Once you get the visa we will be close to ours as I guess they will fast track ours because of expiry of...

You could transfer your branch to a new province after you move to Canada. I think you should be able to open an account in Vancouver without problems as you have passport and possibly a SIN Social insurance number. They will be able to explain the branch change modalities. I am not sure if they...

yes, same as we got. Just that your medical expires next year. So ours is close to the date they issue the visa that is why they mention the landing date before the medical expires. Ours does not say a specific date though, just that we have to get to Canada before expiry.

It is a passport request. They just forgot to send you the main part telling you that they request passport. They want the original passport and the labels printed and filled out. I suspect your medical expires around Nov. 18th right? Thats why you should act quickly. If you need their address I...

This page explains traveling without a PR card: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/travel.asp Permanent residents returning to Canada by airplane, boat, train or bus must show a valid PR Card or travel document before boarding.

No, only the Houku page from her hometown and her passport. She will get that Houku page today and have it notarized and translated. Sending the passport and Houku page hopefully end of this week or beginning next and we have to wait to see if they extend her medical or if she has to land within...

Congrats Carpwife and all others who got their visas. Ours will be in our hands soon. I can see the light.

Congrats FS. We both did not expect such fast turnaround. Good that you have a bit more time on hand. You can fully relax now. You will have the visa in 20 work days after they get the passport. Life is good.

Cmon Fs, give us more detail. You got it?)?

Guess it takes them differently long to go through the applications. It does not mean that all passport requests arrive at same time. Depending on the amount of proof they have to go through. Fs, only difference between us is that you live in China. You should hear soon something. We get the...

Yes, they use your labels that you provided with your Application.

I guess it is possible. Why else would they request a known address again? They write they send the passport back within 20 work days by certified courier to the supplied address if all documents have been sent in within 45 days and satisfy the requirements.
