I had been waiting for 2 months after I submitted my passport.

No idea what can I do ? or just keep waiting ?
Or i can sent email to ask ?

Seems I can't ask "How is my application" directly .......

I think you can ask that. In my case i got the passport request mid-November, and i assumed they wouldn't request the passport until everything was ready. First week of December, and i hadn't heard from them and i was getting nervous as i was going to leave on a trip abroad for new years eve. so i send them an email via the online thing.

I wrote to them when i can expect my passport back, since i need to travel. And i also wrote that if they are unable to give me back my passport in the meantime, i asked them to at-least let me know so that i could apply for a temporary passport for my new years trip. the following day i got an email saying my PR is approved, and the day after that i got my passport back.

Definitively write them, and i think as soon as they receive your email someone would have a quick look at your file (to just assign the email) and if it isn't pending anything i'm sure they will just complete it..

Thanks Browntrout.

I received a letter that my application is intended to refuse as we don't have enough proof showing our intention to move back to Toronto.

What do you all think if we buy a flight ticket ( one way ) to Toronto ?
As my husband have job in HongKong, he can't leave at the moment. He needs around 3 months of notice of resignation.

If I go to Toronto as a tourist, I can stay there up to 6 months. I am from HongKong (Visa-exempted for tourist)
Can I work if I am a tourist ?

What can I do / provide to show our intention to move back to Toronto ?
Anyone advise ? Appreciated for all of your reply.

Sorry to hear that, start a new thread outside of Hong Kong timeline with your case and your background, and i am sure one of the senior members will help you.

Hello Ireney,

Sorry to hear about that!! Sounds Hong Kong VO is really focusing on the sponsor's intention!!

First of all, you definitely NOT allow to work as a tourist! the only way is holding a working holiday visa or work permit!

We have our application in Hong Kong VO as well, but I am sponsoring my husband to be a P.R. We read a lot of post that saying many cases are pending on the "intention" issues, even thought we had an explanation letter that indicated our plan and few broker emails about house purchasing and mortgage, we still keeping most of the evidence that may support our intention.

Such as:
A: Finding a job in Canada ( both of my husband and me)
B: My husband's professional conversion procedure.
C: Private Insurance for New immigrant and return Canadian medical coverage.
D: Identities (driver's licence, medical card, etc) application procedure.
E: My husband's Credit Transfer (from the HSBC)
F: Consult HSBC in writing about opening a New account in Canada HSBC after VISA Issued.
G: Compare prices in Shipping container agents.
H: How to take my dog back to Canada.
I: House Searching screen print
J: Emails to brokers and agents in buying house and mortgage.
K: Mails from friends that confirm we could stay with them as long as we want.

We are expecting Hong Kong VO will send the request as " showing your intention to move back to Canada" in the future too, so that we are just keep making the record as much "up to date" as possible.

gersonjaijai , thanks for your reply. I have 2 dogs as well. I didn't prepare those stuffs as I think I can have time to do the preparation when the application is successed.
I think I need to do it right now. As I have only 30 days to provide the proof to Hong Kong VO.

Thanks again.

Well actually initially i just replied to the emails that i received, but i don't think they reply to those at all. Or they just delete when emails are SENT to those addresses. Use the form below to contact the Hong Kong office, in both cases i got a reply within 7 days.

I submitted a self-explanation letter to VO at Nov 2013. And at Jan 2014, I submitted other proofs for the intention.
I have been waiting for 2 weeks after that. They collected my passport for 4 months already.
Good luck for you too !
Hope we can get positive reply from VO.
