I think you're right. Having looked at the timelines for people who've been through the Tokyo office in the past two years it looks like Tokyo's been getting slower instead of faster. From 2 months in '09 to four in '10 to ?? now. I'd take four months, that's only 2.5 weeks away!

Fare well!

This is great info, thanks for posting. I've never seen a "visa file number" from our embassy (Tokyo) but the letter I got approving me as a sponsor has both a client ID and "Kit ID". Can I use the latter as my "visa file number"?

Great to hear, baboo_2008! And welcome.

Yup. I'm still at "We received xxxx's application for permanent residence on May 17, 2011." Thanks, guys. Very illuminating.

Do you mean "received her application received in paris"? Her timeline sounds like mine. I'm surprised that things progress so slowly and without any communication at all after the "we have your application" notice.

Congratulations! Welcome to life in Canada.

Is your entry in the spreadsheet accurate?

Yes, we've had some visas issued already, and one person is already landed in Canada. But the rest of us are still waiting with little change in status - and not much communication from the VO's. This is largely a waiting game, and we're all in it together. Have a look at the spreadsheet in my...

And we have our first landed applicant! Congratulations, arunsgirl. That's fantastic.

Hi! No change in status since late May. Still AOR in Tokyo....

They're coming quickly, now. Welcome to life in Canada, Summer32.

Hooray! Man, you did a lot better than the estimates. All the best in Canada!

You're on the spreadsheet, see the URL in my signature.

Congratulations, Kate! I'm very happy for you. I see that London's reputation as a speedy visa office was true. (I've updated your record.)

What can I say, the grandmother looked like she might stabilize. We had decided against leaving the country altogether. Then the grandmother's case deteriorated badly and my wife felt she had to go. My wife reports that her presence was a big hit with everyone.

I have an update. My wife went back to Japan to visit with family. Last night she re-entered without problem. They looked into her account and saw that she had applied for her PR visa and everything was fine. Some notes on our case: + She's Japanese, so she needs no visitor visa to visit Canada...

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, emuu.net's my ~13 year old website. The book's one I made of my pics while living in my wife's country. I hear you on the funds, it's an unreasonable tax on us for bringing our spouse to the country. And here I thought the ~$80 spousal visa in Japan was too...
