Sorry to hear about that, I hope the PR is approved soon so your husband can look for work. I'm not sure about the NZ police certificate process, but if you post in the Sydney thread, you might get a better idea, as most likely Kiwis would be going through Sydney. here is the thread - try...

yes - you can choose other and explain. Include proofs that you have applied for PR. For the duration - depending on where your VO is, and how long it will take. if for example, your VO has a stated processing time of 14 months, you can try and ask for 14 months based on that. Some applicants...

Your understanding is correct : with an outland application, there is no implied status so the applicant must maintain legal status. Most outland applicants apply for an extension of their visitor visa. It seems to be granted most of the time - provided that you send an explanation, a proof...

I suppose that CIC is aware that you can not have the name as written in the passport. The "exactly as written" applies more in the case where people have various names, hyphenated or not. In your case, it's just a transcription in a latin script of the Chinese name - it's not a different name...

you can do the medicals ( and re-medicals for that matter) anywhere in the world as long as it's with a panel physician on CIC list. So if you're in Canada - look at the list, find the closest one, and go ahead. Bring the letter with you so the physician has all the numbers etc. to enter in the...

that doesn't matter for the medicals - CIC only wants to make sure he has no communicable disease, and will not be a burden on the Canadian health care, so it's all good :-) Sweden

Yes - my sponsor was a student, living outside of Canada when we applied. We were moving to Canada, he didn't have a job lined up, no income for the last 3 years apart from summer jobs, and a student loan - and he got approved. as the previous post stated: explain your plan. Make it clear that...

send them a case-specific-enquiry through the website, and ask them to change it. They might not answer right away, or answer at all, but eventually your mailing address will change :-) Sweden

You might want to check with CIC about that. Occasionally, an application gets sent to the "wrong" visa office and it delays processing - so the earlier you can catch it, the better it is. Now - I'm not saying that your application has indeed been misplaced, but you might want to check. The...

If I'm not mistaken, on the form, there is a space for writing in your own language. so in the Name field, you can put the Pinyin version of her name - that will become her name in Canada once she becomes a PR - WANG. then, in the space allowing you to write in your own language, you can write...

If your daughter is Canadian, then she doesn't need to be included in the PR application. You need to apply for her Certificate of Citizenship, and then for her Canadian passport. If your daughter is not Canadian, then you need to include her as a dependent of your wife under the family spousal...

Being requested to attend an interview is always stressful. Now - the best you can do is prepare for it. See the interview as a second chance to prove to the visa officer that your marriage is genuine. Prepare well for the interview ( you can try and search for "interview questions" on this...

Congrats! if you haven't been asked for more documents, and you have a "normal" case, then it's approved. Depending on where you live in Canada, it can take somewhere between 1 to 2 weeks to arrive at your address, so it should be there any day now. If next week you don't have anything, write a...

as others have said - they can correct that at the border. On my COPR, they had only stated the country - no city, nothing :-) even if it clearly says on my birth certificate, passport and pretty much every other document I submitted with my PR application... so the border officer just added the...

After AIP - your file either follows the "normal path", or get transferred to another office. If you get transferred - that's usually no a very good sign. If you haven't been told anything, and you just got the AIP, then you should be a fairly good standing... Inland first stage is, as the name...

you'll be fine :-) my sponsor was a student living outside of Canada when he sponsored me, and it wasn't a problem, we got approved (and lots of other people in the same case). CIC wants to see that you have a plan (having a good education and looking for a job in Canada counts as one :-) ) so...

I'm not sure that she would have to repay the social assistance, it would seem odd. She would have to repay it if her husband went on social assistance AFTER landing, for sure, for her case, I don't know. When to apply? maybe wait a bit. First, she must go off social assistance, and build a...

I'm assuming that your husband maybe has some work commitment, or maybe some type of specific work permit where he has planned to stay until April 2015. CIC wants to know whether you would be ready to move earlier than that, let's say if your PR was approved before that, would it be a...

if you're visa-exempt, it's almost always better to apply outland, it's faster for most VOs, and it allows you to come and go back. The only reason to apply inland would be if you had a work permit that was extendable, so you could keep on working. Other than that, outland is probably the way to...

Being asked to pay the RPRF is a good sign indeed. The payment however is made to Mississauga, and it might take a while for them to inform London. You might want to inform London (by email, or Case-specific enquiry) that you have paid it, and send them a copy of the receipt, so they can move...
