    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    OK... this might be useful to others. So, we did send the right sizes of photos of my wife to begin with. However, after just speaking with someone at the Canada visa offices in Seoul, apparently, so many people were sending in passport size photos, the CIC is sending this email to everyone...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Ok, I will send passport size photos. However, must I only send the applicant's photos (my wife)? I mean, I wouldn't have to send mine, and our children's who are already Canadian citizens, right?

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Thanks Floomy and Rob. We've traveled to Canada several times before with no issue, but this time it's a one-way. We will probably not get their passports before they leave. We'll bring their other docs. And any advice on Option C? Is it needed? I've been in Korea for 10 years.

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Hi, Thanks Floomy and Steve. I'll get started with your instructions. We do have a "Report and Certificate of Marriage" with a seal of the Consulate of Canada if that is usable (?). For some reason I thought that since we had two children they'd just push my wife through haha. Thanks again.
