Hi Everyone, Just wanted to let you know my wife got her PR 2 weeks ago. We applied November 2012 (though the application didn't reach Vienna until Feb 2013), so it was a long wait, but worth while of course. She arrives tomorrow! I've come to this forum a couple of times and just wanted to...

Ahhh, okay, maybe that has something to do with it. You are actually still within the posted processing times for London (10 months), so the fact that they changed your file to "In Process" so early is probably a good thing. While my wife isn't too old (early 30s), she's travelled extensively so...

Hi wowsers, Thanks for the response, exactly what I was looking for. The mailing address we have set up is actually my parents address in Canada, so if it does get sent out it will end up there. You've been "In Process" for 7 months, that's crazy! When did your application reach London? From...

Hi, So my wife is getting near the end of the application process. We applied in late November 2012, and her application reached the Vienna visa office February 2013. On January 20th 2014, her application status changed to "In Process" accompanied with a request for some updated documents. At...

Hi Everyone, This is a cross-post from a question I already asked on this forum (http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/colombia-police-certificate-process-t151942.0.html). My wife, who is from Slovakia, lived in Colombia for 7 months a few years ago. She is applying...

Thanks for the response lilops. This is really helpful. Vienna said they received the police certificate from G4S, so I think we'll try them first.

Hi Everyone, It's been a while since I wrote that initial post. We eventually did receive confirmation about the visa office receiving the police certificate (this was 6 months ago). Our application is finally being processed, but guess what, they requested a police certificate from Colombia...

Hi Guys, Just a little update. My wife's application was received November 30th, 2012 and the application was sent to Vienna around February 28th, 2013. Her application status was finally updated to "Processing" (or "In progress"... one of the two) and we received document requests from CIC...

Hi Tom Yes, she has lived and worked/volunteered in several countries. We had the other prepared before the application, but the Colombian one could not be done until we had a file number. The Russian one was unexpected, since technically she was there for less than 6 months, but they requested...

Hi Everybody, I've used the forums here a couple times since applying and I've found them to be a great help. Since my wife's (she's Slovak) application is being processed through the Vienna office, I guess this is the place for us. I'm interested to know how other peoples applications are...

Thanks for the reply. We've sent the VO a message (only a 28 working day wait for a reply) and I'll check out the Bogota thread.

Hi There, I am a Canadian sponsoring my Slovak wife for PR in canada. We are applying outside of Canada, currently in New Zealand on working holiday visas. We applied in late November. I have been approved as a sponsor and the application has been forwarded to Embassy of Canada in Vienna...

Thanks for the reply canuck_in_uk. I appreciate it.

Hi there, I'm sponsoring my Slovak wife to come to Canada. We've travelled a lot, so the police clearance certificate has been a bit tricky. We applied for the permanent residency visa in late November, and received notice on March 1st. We are applying outside of Canada. Today we received an...

For those of you that are interested, emailing CIC worked and they got back to me within a couple days.
