Tracking said shipped June 16, June 17 IOM called
 
So weird, says shipped from Singapore on the 12th and we still have heard nothing. It only took 1 day to get back your passport.

Emailed IOM to get an update. They better not have lost the passport >:(

QPH, is your IOM in Saigon or Hanoi?

Good luck!

Can't believe it's been over 3 years for you! If that was the case for me I would have reconsidered lol
 
Thanks dnguy, me and wife call every day and try to yahoo video every day. It makes it a lot more bearable. We need passport back, so I can book flight dates >:(
 
From Saigon, I told my wife that the passport was shipped on the 16th, I can't believe that she had the passport in her hand on the 17th and sent me picture of the ever so nice Canada Visa on it...

With you, everything looks very long...right from the beginning...

Congratulation Dragoon, after very long process this is it! :)

TIP#1: Just make sure that your return to Canada with her plane itinerary does not transit to a place that requires a visa to enter like the US or something otherwise she will not be able to transit. If you go with EVA, Cathay Pacific or Air China you should be fine

TIP#2: I know you already bought your tickets but maybe mention to them that the second passenger (your wife) is a new immigrant with new visa to Canada and some compagnies have discount price for them like Cathay Pacific has very low price for these type of person since it is only a one way ticket
 
Hey canadavietnam, long time :)

We are landing in Vancouver, so it's all good. Booked flight with China Airlines since it's half the price of Cathay Pacific. I don't even know why CP is always double the price of CA.
