Met 11/11/2007 First Date 11/18/2007 No Official Engagement Date Married 3/18/2008 Still as happy as the day we met over 3 years, and have a baby on the way (my first at age 50, her 2nd at age 40).

I don't know the contact options for the office you are working through, but for Hong Kong we could only fax, email, or write to them. They don't accept phone calls and their response promise for the mentioned methods was 30 days. This left us with little option but to check online and wait as...

That's the way to do it... I print all important stuff to PDF as well. For those non-Mac users, you can Google "Primo PDF" and get a free PDF creator. It works great!

Without looking up exact dates in my files, we mailed out our packages to Mississauga on or about Aug 26 and my sponsorship approval was about Sep 24. About a month...

If you pay online for the fee it is quick and simple to just print a copy. Just before I paid online I was in the bank anyway so inquired about paying CIC fees and getting a receipt from them... the teller had no idea and asked a manager who came over and still had no clue. I just told them...

As for sponsorship approval in Mississauga mine took about a month more or less. We are applying outland in Hong Kong which is significantly longer than most places according to the online stats, but we have already (after only a month) received word from them that they are on the case. The...

We got a letter in the mail from Hong Kong this morning. It contained a receipt and file number for our case. I used the file number online and see that our status is now "In-process" (as of Oct 28) and it notes "Medical results have been received". Does anyone know if this means we are just...

Go figure... I read this thread then this morning (Oct 28) I get a letter in the mail from Hong Kong with a file number and receipt that they have started working on our case. I used the file number online and see that our status is "In-process" (as of Oct 5) and "Medical results have been...

Congratulations from us as well. My sponsorship took about a month and Hellens PR application has been in HK for about a month now. It would be amazing if we could get this sorted out before having to renew her TRV ;D

FYI - as of September 24th I am approved as a sponsor. My wifes PR application has been forwarded to Hong Kong... now the big wait!

First of all, if you are going to apply for a TRV then just stick to the relevant facts for that application and promise to adhere to the rules (and keep the promise if you ever want PR). Second, if you get the TRV and come to visit your spouse you can reside here and apply outland. The major...

Thanks Boyee, as mentioned we are going through the Hong Kong office so I think by the time it's all done I will be a senior club member! ;D

One fact I was given by Revenue Canada is that if a T4 is not submitted by an employer for you then the government is not looking for a tax return from you. No T4, no return. I have been out of the country for over 4 years and have had no income in Canada and nothing to claim from outside of...

Hi folks, It's been awhile since I have posted here. It's been a great summer here in Canada for my family, and last night after making copies and colating we sent our applications out to CPC Mississauga. For those who recall us, we were going to apply from inside Canada. However, by...

Hello Jeans, I received your private message but thought it better to reply here so perhaps there will be further feedback or verification of my comments. Let me start by saying that I am also new to the immigration process. The TRV my wife and step daughter were just granted is the second...

Hi Toby, We are not at the PR submission stage yet (although we have been preparing our docs for awhile) but when we apply inland we will be updating our progress, successes, and pitfalls (hopefully very few of those) here. My wife and step-daughter have 6 month TRVs, and from the date we...

Thanks again CW! And rats! I just finished packing my piano and forgot to write down the serial number.... oh well off to the store for more packing tape... :P

I have no clue what I'm talking about first hand, but I would think that if the looked at it and you did or said something wrong you would have heard back from them already... no?

Thanks for the feedback all. I've been off for a little while as we are dealing with wrapping up stuff at work and getting our apartment cleared out. Whew! But it's all going to be worth it once we set our feet on Canadian soil again... I read the $10,000 limit, and I don't mind filling out...

Any help at all would be appreciated. I found some forms which apparently you need to avoid paying duty, but any insight from someone with direct experience would be helpful. Our intention is to use a freight forwarder here in China, and they are going to make a box on a pallet about...
