Hello Everyone, I too am waiting for my spouse's status to change from application received. What is GCMS? And is it worth it? Does it hurt your case? How do you request it? What does it mean? My spouse is from Vietnam and Singapore received my package March 13/12.. Thanks, Jimbob..

Message to Shiny 88 As frustrated as you feel about the TRV being rejected, that is a standard answer. I had the exact same experience when my girlfriend from VN was rejected. There was no problem with how we had filled in all the blanks. That's just how they are. They will reject you for...

Hello Shiny 88, I'm sorry to hear of your long wait...if you have used GCMS, can you tell me whether it was useful or beneficial to you? What kind of information will they give you? I don't want my application mysteriously shuffled to the bottom of the pile.. Thanks, Jimbob.

Hello again Folks, Thanks to Bold 9900 and Shiny 88 for your replies. It seems to me, the time is about 11 months from the date when Singapore receives the application. It's really hard to understand why CIC can't be more pro-active. I think it's great that they are going after the 3300 or...

Hey Folks, I can not believe there's no one out there who is sponsoring a spouse from Vietnam....no one has replied to my request...I would like to know the timeline of someone who has applied from Vietnam... Thank-you!

Re: Singapore timeline for spousal applications from Vietnam Hello Everyone, Can anyone tell me what the timeline is now? My file was received in Singapore mid-March, and I was approved in mid-June as a sponsor. If there are no complications, what happens next? If approved, who receives the...

Hello, I called CIC today. They told me that wait is now 90 days. I asked why? I was told, Volume..it's a long wait..

Hello, I would like to share my experience. I agree with previous comments made in regards to hiring a lawyer in VN or Canada for that matter. I did hire one in HCMC ($700) because of the language difficulty and my limited time. If I'd had lots of time to do the research and wait around, I...

Hello Scylla, Thanks so much for your early and concise reply. I'm leaving in January to be married in HCMC. I will take my sponsorship papers with me. We will be using services of EOM to complete my Vietnamese spouses papers and have them translated into english. Then I will have her sign...

1. Re: IMM1344 question # 9. If you are a permanent resident or a naturalized Canadian Citizen, provide the following information...not sure how to answer this. I was born in Canada. 2. Page 7 of 7. Signatures. Second line. Signature of sponsor's spouse...so I need to have her sign this in VN...

Hey Leon, if I'm answering my home phone from another country, how would they know? Most people today aren't home to answer their phones during the day. So you to keep calling back. But I know it's wise to be cautious as they can be very difficult.

Hey Leon, Good posts, very informative. Regarding, playing safe it by staying in Canada while awaiting the spouse's PR visa. If you are in another country, you can simply check your phone messages daily and call them CIC back. Wouldn't that satisfy them?

Hello. Thank-you everyone for your answers. I've been off the forum for a couple of months. Piusk, thank-you for your specific answers. Yes, there seem to be a lot of different answers depending who you talk to. Also I think that maybe some things are changing. I would like my gf to come for...

Hello Everyone, I really hope someone can give me good information. My girlfriend of two years (living in Vietnam) and I want to marry. What is the best way to do this? Should I marry her in Vietnam, get the marriage license, then come home and sponsor her? Is this the best way and if so...

Well Tallen, I must say, your story was not the least bit boring! It is a story of true love and the effort put into being with your chosen mate. I am working on a similiar plan bringing my Vietnamese girl to Canada. You'd never know by these postings that Canada needs immigrants.

Hello, I appreciate the comments by steaky who tried unseccessfully to bring his wife from China. Your comments echoed my experience. I knew they made a quick decision based on profiling. They profile people from certain countries. It is in their discretion to do so and you can't prove...

Hello, I am interested in hearing from others regarding my concern. My Vietnamese girlfriend tried twice to come to Canada for a visit. Everything was done correctly, she was even complimented on the completeness of her documents. The second reply came quickly and was exactly the same as the...
