Happy to report my wife is here with me finally. :D 14 months after the wedding; Finally together – never again to part.

I know a guy who is in similar situation. It typically takes longer with Canada/USA as your husband is able to come here as a visitor (so not as urgent as with restricted countries). A friend at work was married over a year earlier than me but they are still waiting for wife's PR. She was...

The company won't even mail a cheque, let alone do a wire transfer. ::) My wife's bank is part of international electronic banking networks like Cirrus so she should be able to withdraw from an ATM here in Canada, however there will be a large fee (Php1000 ~$30) to do so.

My wife's company isn't going to have her final paycheque ready until after she has left the Philippines and is here in Canada. I was expected her to cash her final cheque before she got on the plane, but now that's not possible. Will we be able to deposit a cheque from overseas (in pesos...

As stated above, the issue isn't bringing cash in - you can convert whatever currency you want. The problem is getting it out. Every country is fine with money coming into the country - it's when you take money out of the country that they put limits. Your problem is going to be the limit on...

Just got good news update from my wife. When she was standing in line to attend the PDOS, she was approached by one of their representatives. Turns out because she is married to me (and I am a citizen) she doesn't have to go through the PDOS, just the married to a foreigner session - which she...

Very simple. Send it to Manila via courier (like FedEx). The VAC is merely to make things easier for locals.

My wife lives in Cebu - yes. She will be attending the PDOS in Cebu.

Bought a one-way ticket (Cebu to Edmonton) for my wife today. She will be here July 7th :D

I know PDOS is Pre Departure Orientation Seminar, but what is VOH?

Remember what they said in the PPR - it can take up to three months to come back to you. 3 or 4 weeks is typical I think.

It said right in our PPR request Email to send them "a copy of this letter". Didn't yours say the same?

My wife has booked off her vacation time June 15th to June 30th (with June 30th also being her last day) so she will only be at work for a week and then will fly (from Cebu) to Manila and Cauayan to have farewell visit with her family. Lord willing she will get a text msg. from VAC while...

I thought you would have RXd your PPR in the same batch as L J and my wife. ???

Doubtful that you will make June 6th. Expect it to take several weeks (up to three months) before you get the passport back. Also don't forget there is still the PDOS and (unless you are both Filipino) the married to a foreigner certificate. Target flight date for my wife is June 30th - that...

Looks like today is the day. L J got PPR My wife just got PPR :D ;D What about you crazy? MakeItHappen? Karla? CanadianBears? lady Sherie? Winnipeg? My wife texted me that she couldn't help but cry for happiness. She said she had to read it thoroughly to be sure she wasn't...

So for a spousal visa they said you are single? ::) LOL Presumably it shouldn't be a problem since it's their error. Even though odds of calling and getting a helpful answer are low, I would still try.

We can't tell you, but you should check your status on the CIC website. Certainly easier than ordering the notes... http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/my_application/status.asp There is also supposed to be an improvement in one week in what info. we can get online. It will be interesting to...

So, you and your husband have been living in Egypt for the past decade and the only evidence of even potentially living in Canada is a job offer, (which you aren't going to take because you prefer a different city) and you expect Canada to give you citizenship why?
