Ah... I see. That makes sense. I'm not in Canada though. I live in Korea but I guess maybe Ireland is exempt from a visa. Ouuuuuuuuuu NOW I'm MORE excited. Oddly, I'm going to a charity fundraiser tonight and where is it taking place? Oh, just a Canadian bar in Seoul...What were the odd of that?!!

No, it says I don't need to get one. I'm so confused! It says 'Elimination of Counterfoils for Approved Permanent Residence Applicants from Visa-Exempt Countries'....

OMFG my COPR just arrived!!! It's Saturday afternoon! I'm shocked!! Although my COPR sheet says NOT VALID FOR TRAVEL across it so I'm a little confused about what I'm supposed to do with it. Do I need to apply for something else or can I enter Canada with it? I thought I needed something stamped...

Ou, nice!! We've gotta apply for my UK criminal check though. I got the same one you get for an E2 visa but apparently it's a different one I need so we've spent much of tonight scrambling around trying to arrange to get that. It should be with us within two weeks if I send all the stuff off in...

Hello! I got a letter this morning requesting my passport bio page, a UK criminal check (cos I sent the wrong type of check the first time) and my mailing address. Now, one: I sent them TWO copies of my passport info page in my application package. Could they mean something else?! And TWO...

OMG it arrived!! It actually arrived! Our letter dated August 1st ACTUALLY ARRIVED!! And tis here! In Korea!! Clearly the mail takes 21 days from Canada to here! Luckily, I'd phoned the CIC and they'd told me a letter was on the way (rules that you can only call from Canada, be damned!! I called...

Called the CIC. Spoke to them for a bit then passed the phone over and they spoke to my boyfriend to confirm some details. They told us a decision was made and a letter sent aug 1st!!! Yay!! They gave us our uci number too so i logged in online and it's all there. Hopefully our letter turns up...

NewlyWed!! OMG!! That's awesome! We're still awaiting our stage one approval. I reckon it's cos we're doing it by mail as oppose to email and the postal system is slow. I've been stalking the mailman. He doesn't seem impressed by my ninja like actions of pouncing on the mail when it arrives...

Lol! Am on a week off this week (my school is closed for a week for 'summer break') and with our approval due this week, I do feel like I'm stalking the mailman! I swear, he's gonna start thinking I'm the crazy foreign girl who peeks around the corner when I think he's on his way! I'd kinda...

Hi Sweden! Thanks so much for your help. We've already applied. We applied on April 26th so hopefully we should hear sooooooon! We're gonna start collecting some stuff in case we're called for an interview later in the year to prove intent. Thanks so much for your advice. It's really nice of...

Hi NewlyWed, Yeah, we both live in Korea. He's Canadian and I'm Irish and we're planning on moving to Canada next year. We had a problem trying to prove intent to live in Canada too. We just didn't know what to say other than, we want to leave Korea and it was a choice between Ireland and Canada...

Hi Newlywed!! Firstly, congratulations!!! YAY!! I see from the spreadsheet you're in Seoul. Me too. I was just wondering if you got your approval via mail or email? We didn't put an email on the forms (which in hindsight was not wise and we wanna change that but have no idea how) so we're...

YAY!! OMG, thank you so much! We live in Korea (He's Canadian, I'm Irish) and his contract is up in March and mine in May and we were trying to think of a plan in case the medical runs out and we have to start over. I don't think I could handle all that paperwork again! Thank you so so much! :)

Hello, I have a quick question, I had my medical done on May 29th and the CIC website says it's valid for a year. If our wait for the visa time surpasses March 29th 2013, do we have to start the process over again or do I just get another medical? I know if the visa is issued BEFORE March 29th...

Hello, can I be added to the spreadsheet? We sent our application to CIC on Apr 24th, it arrived Apr 26th (I think, I'll double check). My visa medical was done March 29th. We're applying through Seoul office. Thanks so so much. :)

Thanks so much Leon!! That's a big help and one of our main worries gone now. :)

Hello, My boyfriend (a Canadian) and I are applying for a common-law visa and we've come upon a few questionwe have that hopefully someone can help us with. On the generic form I have to fill in it asks me where I intend to live but we're not moving for a year. If I, for example, say we're...
