Alright, so, I've been trying to get a handle on this whole situation with me going to Canada first in February and my wife coming some time next summer (hopefully with the PR application complete).
It's an understatement to say that this is the most stressful situation that I have experienced in my life. No word of a joke. Coming to Korea, to a new country, culture and not knowing anything about it or what I was doing here doesn't nearly equate.
Some members here advised that when my wife comes to Canada and in the event that for some reason the PR isn't complete, she should have a copy of the sponsorship approval (which I'm still fighting to get a copy of) and a return ticket but in asking my MP's office for assistance in moving that along and getting the SA confirmation letter, my MP's office wrote back with this:
"In order for her to arrive and stay in Canada, the full processing of the application must be complete. At that time, appropriate paperwork would be issued by the embassy for her arrival in Canada with PR status. I cannot advise if you wish to arrive in Canada without the proper documentation. A return ticket WILL NOT be sufficient."
I wrote back to the MP's office telling them what I know (having read it here) about my wife not needing to send her passport to Manila because she's Korean, about the last step being the receipt of the COPR, about her arriving in Toronto and needing to go to the immigration office there, etc ...
Truly, I'm just venting now because you guys understand what the process is like.
