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...

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, 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...

Here is our immigration story, in brief. After about 10 months, the Beijing VO approved my wife's PR. However we had inadvertently marked her 19 year old dependent daughter on the original application as "non-accompanying" for the reason that she is in Canada with a TRV studying at university...

OK, Now I am really confused. My wife just got her COPR back and passport with Visa. My step-daughter's passport was also requested and sent together with hers and appears to have no new visa in it. She already had a TRV and a study permit and is in Canada currently so was "non-accompanying" on...

Hi, :) This may seem trivial, but we are struggling with the right format to provide the signatures on application forms for a Chinese applicant. 1. Should it be in Hanzi (characters), or the Pinyin English equivalent, or both ? 2. The Chinese always write characters with last name followed by...

My step-daughter is coming from China to study at university with a letter for the the Study Permit and the TRV in her passport. :) My question is this: Is it a good idea to wait until after she has landed, BEFORE sending in our PR application for her mom (my wife) and her ? We went through...

This should be a simple question - ;D My wife and step-daughter are applying to immigrate from China. My step-daughter is 18. On her IMM5609 where it asks for "father" - should this be me (step-father) or the biological father she has not heard from in 10 years ?

Hi, Just wanted to give a heads up and ask if others have insight on the following. My step-daughter is applying for Canadian University from China. I had a question about the Canadian Embassy in Beijing, China website forms so I called CIC, here in Canada. After a wait of only about 15...

Can someone answer the following question - on the Family Information Form 1MM5645E it asks about mother, father and step-brothers and step-sisters, but where does information about step-father go? ??? Thanks
