Usually, i found that almost everybody in this forum gets their medical done prior to handing in their application. I was the exception. This was the norm when we immigrated over 30 years ago! Obviously, things have changed and not thinking or reading clearly, we did not do a medical prior...

Congratulations, Motorcyclerider! As we are the non-organized type, we were probably the example of what not to do, including documents not completed (medical) and having only three pages of scanned photos, and our intent to return was a letter stating that it would be infeasible to rent an...

Hey, right on Marty11! congratulations.

I am in Hong Kong and physically went to the HK Police headquarters in Wanchai to get it done. Honestly, I would not be too concerned. I found that after reading the forum here, that I was the least organised, least prepared, late on most of the stuff that needed to handed in, and in some...

Thanks Claudiakee, In actual fact, we don't get to see how long it takes for the HK police to send their criminal check, because they sent it directly to the Visa Office. However, I was told it was 2 weeks by the HK police office.

Thanks motorcyclerider. It was almost exactly 2 months after the passport request. although they did ask for some additional documents, which all together we sent back on Sept 18th. The date on the COPR was Nov 6 and we received it on November 7. Hope this helps.

YES. Our process is over. Received the COPR and the passport back! Hey, thanks to everybody who submitted their experiences... although reading everybody else's application makes me feel incompetent, unorganised, and have not done my homework prior to handing in our own application! oh...

First, Congratulations! For us, we just put our file number on the envelope. Good Luck!

Ohohoh...... Received by post the registered mail...... Hope it's from the visa office. For sending in the passport we used dhl. They will have record of the people who signed for it. Further, it is a passport, so I don't want it somewhere in nomansland! Congrats to Robyn and...

Well... In vancouver, we actually get to decorate our houses and go and get our real christmas trees. After returning to hkg for more than 10 years, i've only got the real trees last year only because it was available at IKea. haha. And wasn't it snowing in vancouver last year? At least...

Congratulations, Marty. Christmas in Canada is sooo much better than here in HK! Way to go!

Hi Bobokiko, You're right, it is just coincidental we submitted the application without thinking about the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Holidays. So, i would not suggest anybody to hand in their application at the end of the year. Otherwise, everything else is still very...

Hi bobokiko, We had always thought that it was done after the application was handed in. At least that was what we thought and heard through own experience and others, of course it was over 30 years ago! I am sponsoring my wife, and we are also living in Hong Kong. As such, I believe our...
