Have a look at the spreadsheet (link in my signature) and be sure to add yourself and keep it up to date it will help you and everyone in the future.

In the past a long period of no contact from Beijing has generally meant that they intend to interview your spouse and you are in the que waiting for your appointment.

Hey i See some new faces in this topic thread. Remember there is a China thread we tried to get everyone posting in and a spread sheet for only beijing applicants it would be great if you all added yourselves too. Good luck and lots of patience for everyone.

On her COPR is there a condition 51 ?

If she is leaving anything valuable in China to bring back later you need the B4? Declaration form. I filled out one with all the stuff we were bringing with us (because it says to do that too, and we had several laptops and a bunch of iCrap devices we had collected over the years) but they were...

I did not send in a Option C. However i was living abroad and had been living there for four years. I sent a NOA for the previous year and a letter from my employer that stated I had been working for them for the past 3 years and I had no problems. This may all be due to me being outside the...

I would be surprised if all foreign communications weren't tunneled through a VPN security server back to Canada. Checking your gmail might become a problem in China, but the embassy should be able to send emails to it.

I didn't reply because I have no experience with the interview, ABC is the only one who is currently posting here who has had his application go through that process. I have however been to the embassy several times.. As a Canadian they "should" let you in but likely will not let you...

ESL isn't necessary because her university degree was to become an English Teacher in China. However, we decided it would be good to enroll her at the local college in a course called Adult Basic Education. Its for people who haven't completed Canadian high school or need to upgrade a specific...

We received the PR card on new years eve. Nice present however unintentional.

Our PR card status switched to complete today. Time to see how long it takes to travel across the country I guess.

I get very confused when I look up what is and is not considered a "resident" My wife moved to Canada and became a PR on November 10th 2014, and does not plan on leaving or becoming a non resident anytime soon. When legally can we open up a TFSA account for her, and do we get the contribution...

I wouldn't be buying those plane tickets for a holiday just yet, my status is also still in process. I was hoping to buy wifey a trip to the Caribbean for just after christmas but that is obviously not going to happen :(

I already applied to add her to my BC MSP (our version of OHIP) I must say that getting accepted ID for anything in this country seems to be a very big pain in the ass.. Without a PR card we cant get her a learners drivers license... It all seems very stupid and bureaucratic. It reminds me...

I have heard of previous cases having quite a delay if the fees are not paid up front. You may consider faxing a copy instead of emailing. They seem to check that more.
