    Accompanying a Canadian citizen outside Canada

    Very confusing. Trying to count days of residency, I read that a spouse or common-law partner travelling outside Canada with a Canadian citizen, can count the days outside Canada as full days of residency in view of Canadian citizenship days of residence. BUT on the Immigration website, it says...

    Simple question

    How long does it typically take for immigration agents at Toronto or MTL airport to process PR papers for a new immigrant? So we can plan transit times in Canada. Thank you.

    Accompanying Deendent not coming to Canada at same time

    My wife will be granted PR (I think). We will be moving to Canada soon. Her dependent child is "accompanying" but must finish High School before joining us in Canada. She will join us later. The question is: does the child need to come to Canada at the same time as us or she can join us later...

    Complexity increasing

    OK. I'm exercising patience now. Filled all the forms, may of them I had submitted originally, but they're probably in Singapore. We'll see what happens. Thanks to all. Mike

    Complexity increasing

    Hi. I applied for my Thai wife's permanent residence last July. I was approved as sponsor in August. In September, I submitted through inquiry online services a change in our application: dependent child would accompany us to Canada (rather than non-accompanying). December, Singapore asks for...

    I did inform Singapore quite in detail, but they said the change must be sent (or inputed in the system) by Mississauga.

    OK. Not so fast please... A glitch... Three months ago, I emailed online a change in my application: the principal applicant's daughter, will be accompanying rather than non-accompanying (as per the original application). IRCC acknowledged the change and wrote that they would "notify the...

    All my fault really, I should have read all the details on the website, ie: how to send passport. But I was unaware of this. My fault. Apologies to Bangkok and Singapore Immigration people.

    Wow and re-wow...

    OK. Things seem to have cleared out. Singapore asked me to send passports to Bangkok. Then, Bangkok, charges me money to transfer passports to Singapore. I don't know why we couldn't send passports directly to Singapore. Maybe Bangkok wanted to "join the bandwagon" kindda. Anyway, things seem to...

    Well, it appears there may be some confusion between Bangkok and Singapore. CIC Singapore sent me a detailed email asking for photos to be sent along with passport to Bangkok. But Bangkok asks me to send them the email from Singapore along with money for the passports... Now, we're trying...

    No, I don't own land or have large assets. Both my Thai wife and I have university degrees, both are active professionally, with good reputation. All that probably helps. In any case, we will move to Canada as soon as we sell car and bicycles, get the cats ready, get rid of garbage. So I think...

    As a reminder: I am Canadian living in Thailand with Thai wife. Application was submitted July 7th 2016. So we are now November 24th. That's 4.5 months since I sent my application. I was accepted as sponsor fairly quickly, I think 1 month. This is spectacularly fast. I had made plans for 28...

    OK. Got an answer: Canada Singapor used a two-year old application for temporary residence for my wife. The UCI number and the Canadian address correspond to that old application. They now use this old UCI to process my new application for permanent residence. I suppose they don't want two...

    In short: applied for PR for my Thai wife. I am Canadian, living with wife in Thailand. Our application for PR was going to take another 20 months but, wow, we just got an email from Singapour saying... "... send your passports, fill the form, your application is almost complete..." Is this...

    Dependent turning 19 while waiting for PR

    No no, My dependent has been duly declared in my application, her medical exam duly done, and all other documents relating to her, etc. However, I stated that she was not coming with us to Canada because, at the time, of a lack of funds. So the only change in my application would be that she is...
