I'm having the same problem with the intention to live in Canada. We're planning to move to Ottawa, and my partner is hoping to get into teachers college there (and with his experience and quals it shouldn't be a problem) However, he won't even be able to apply until December 2011, and won't...

We've just been informed by the Korean and Chinese embassys that we need to go in person to get the checks! And we've neither the funds or the time to fly around Asia! Who does? Immigration Canada does state that "In extenuating circumstances, Canadian Immigration Visa Offices will waive the...

That's great thanks. I will start collecting similar documents!

Just to note this Catch 22 is a little infuriating. They want to know that for sure we will return to Canada, but us returning to Canada is entirely contingent on our residency approval. I'm sure as hell not moving home without him, and we'll have to country hop some more I guess if it's...

Hi guys, Canadian girl here, sponsor of British national, international teachers living abroad for 5 years. As we're living abroad (Vietnam), I have the little issue of insuring that we will be definitely returning to Canada when residency is approved. BUT there's that little problem that...

Tell me about it... When my partners parents visited us from England here in Vietnam, I couldn't wait to buy them some "Fanny's Ice cream", which is the most popular brand of ice cream here!

So the Meds are sent to London by the DMP, or via the Mississauga office? If the DMP give us the completed forms, should we not send them to Mississauga, not London? And if so, why would they be sent to London separate from the application?

We're in the same boat as everyone here, but just getting our documents together ready to send. I notice a lot of people have noted in the their timeline that their medical checks were done after their applications were sent. Is this the way to do it? I thought everything was to be included at...

Ok- a little confused. Am I sending the entire pack of forms and evidence to the Mississauga office, or the London office, or the Vietnam embassy or where? Or do I send it to Mississauga and they forward it on? My friend is Irish, living in Korea, with a Canadian husband says Mississauga told...

I have emailed both consulates so hopefully I'll get some clarity. I reckon processing times for UK citizens should be upwards of 10 months? Am I right? Can we process the application and forward on criminal checks as we get them? ALSO Where will he be required to do his interview? Do I have...

Also note- we are not married, living common law for 2 years (documented with leases). We are in no rush to get married, as we partners in life regardless, and would rather wait till we've set up somewhere and settled down. BUT IF we are married- does this circumvent any of this nonsense(tsk...

My partner (from UK) and I (Canadian) have lived abroad together for 5 years. We met in Korean (2006/2007) lived apart in 2008 while I went to school, England (2009) China (2010) and now Vietnam 2011/2012!! We are planning to start our application in the fall, and then IF approved move to...
