Thanks Scylla, I knew there must be an active thread !

Hi, If there is a current thread on this, sorry, please advise. If not, here goes... My wife and I will be sponsoring her parents from China to immigrate. I looked at the CIC website and am surprised now at the wait times. My understanding earlier was it would take about 5 years. However now I...

All the very best to you also same to also ! Thanks for your positive outlook all the time Desi-girl !! :)

Hi, I'd be happy to add our file to the spreadsheet. We applied in July 2013 and my step-daughter just received her Confirmation of Permanent Residence by courier yesterday. She is in Canada studying at university, so we will have to do a "flagpole" landing sometime in the next few months...

I think that must be a standard practice, to ask for a "resume". They asked for one both for my wife, and my step-daughter. They already have most the information in the application so that made me think it was for another government department who also is involved (perhaps Service Canada?) with...

Hi, Yes, I had sent in 4 or 5 CSE (case specific enquiries)to Beijing in the past 9 months. About 2 were answered. The Beijing office held my wife and daughter's passports for about 6 1/2 months. Got them back just as the strikes started. Take note that even if you think nothing is being done...

Congratulations!! Have you received your COPR yet and when is your wife planning to land? FlashG

Hi, May I please check before I send CIC even more money for my second PR application (dependent daughter of spouse)? It looks like we may only need to pay for: 1. The Sponsor (my spouse for her daughter) - $75 and 2. The "Principal applicant, if less than 22 years of age and not a spouse or...

Hi, This may not be the issue at all, but did you list your son on the original PR application as "accompanying" or "non-accompanying"? Best of luck to you

Hi, May add some to this discussion please ? Slightly different twists and a lot more questions about sponsoring a dependent child only - outland, but living here with us in Canada. 1. My wife (newly landed PR) will be the sponsor of her dependent 19 year old daughter (living here with us...

Hi Bagelbagel, If you are still maintaining the spreadsheet, please update our status. Landed July 5, 2013 ! Woohoo! :) :P

Hi, For those waiting - it is a long marathon, but the happy day comes! :) Finally for us also. My wife landed as a PR yesterday and she is now getting settled in with us. First time in Canada. Many changes in our lives. I will stick around on the forum for a while more as we will now need...

My wife did include my step-daughter on her application. We mistakenly put down "non-accompanying" since my step-daughter came here first to study under a TRV/study permit. We did absolutely everything required (paid correct fees for dependents, did medicals, sent resume as requested, sent...

A related question - What about a person from China, here with a study permit and temporary resident visa (TRV) already for 1 year, going home for 1 month, then coming back? She is my step-daughter (19) and her mom with PR will sponsor her dependent daughter outland from Canada for PR. Plan...

COPR received for the second time last Sunday. We had sent it back for corrections to our daughters visa. They refused and returned them both. Well at least it was prompt and we can get on with our reunion. We have to apply for our daughter's PR separately however. So watch out - if you check...
