Hi! I'm a Canadian citizen. I sponsored my Korean wife for permanent residency, from Korea (where we had been living since 2011), and we all (her and I and our two sons) landed and settled in Canada this past May. We could really use that CCTB money, but man, the information on the gov't site...

Excellent - thanks for the response!

Hi! I'm a Canadian citizen sponsoring my Korean wife. We live in Korea and she received her COPR a few days ago, with a March 12th landing date. However, due to our housing lease and other obligations here in Korea, we don't plan on relocating to Canada until July. Therefore, my wife is planning...

This was awesome time-saving advice....thanks a million! I just shot off the email. I'm not sure whether they'll require a birth certificate from the hospital, etc., but hopefully they'll let me know. Normally, I would have just included it to be on the safe side, but we haven't gotten it yet...

My wife just gave birth to our second son on Wednesday. I'm wondering if this will slow down our application (we applied outland, we live in Korea, I'm a Cdn citizen, she Korean). Our app was made in March 2014, file is 'in process', and we've already had two requests for additional documents...

My wife just gave birth to our second son on Wednesday. I'm wondering if this will slow down our application (we applied outland, we live in Korea, I'm a Cdn citizen, she Korean). I was really hoping she got approved before the baby came. In any case, I know I have to inform CIC of the birth...

Thanks for the reassurance! We sent the second one in right away...

Hi everyone, Nice to see some happy stories on here! My wife and I also applied in March. We live in Korea and applied through Manila. I'm a Canadian citizen and she's Korean. I was approved as a sponsor a while back, and our ECAS status is "In Process". We were contacted for additional...

That's a great suggestion. It never occurred to me to contact the VO.

Thanks for the reply. Right, so if we do get approval we were planning for her to make a quick trip in February before medical expires in March. We've heard rumors of immigration officers giving people a hard time in that kind of situation, especially when the applicant shows up without his/her...

I'm a Canadian citizen sponsoring my wife via an outland application. We are living in Korea. Manila asked us for addition documents in late July, which we supplied, and our app status has since been updated to "In Process". So everything's going well....only my wife is pregnant and we're...

Thanks for the peace of mind!!

Hi there! I'm also sponsoring my Korean wife, outland. We just received an email request from Manila for Appendix A and Entry/Exit Cert, which I take as meaning our app is progressing nicely. However, the attached file also included Appendix B, which is photograph specifications(?!). We...

Never mind! Answered my own question (re Appendix A)!

Hi! I'm sponsoring my wife and we made an outland application in March. We got the following email yesterday, I'm wondering about the Appendix A. For whom should I fill it out? Who constitutes a 'family member'. Any advice would be appreciated!

Looks like our applications went in together (exact same dates!) Let's keep in touch...

Hi everyone! I'm a Canadian citizen sponsoring my Korean wife. We've lived together in Korea for the past few years and have a 2-year-old son. We will continue to live in Korea until the application goes through (Manila). CIC received our package March 20th, AOR received April 24th, SA on April...

Thanks for all your advice, guys...this forum is a great resource!

Is there any such list? I can't find one on the embassy site so far...

I'm pretty familiar with the pros and cons of inland vs outland applications, but does it make any difference where the sponsor is? I'm a Canadian citizen and will be sponsoring my wife. We've been living abroad (in her country) for 3 years. I plan on returning to Canada in Jan 2014 and...
