    TRV for Brazilian GF

    Thank you for your quick response. She has a passport but no travel history. Her kids are 22 and 24. I don't mind floating the cash to bump her total. But I guess that would mean waiting 4 months before applying...

    TRV for Brazilian GF

    I met a Brazilian woman from Natal at Xmas time. I went back there last week to spend two weeks with her. I will be going to Parana for 2 months for work this summer and 1 month in Natal. We would like to apply for a TRV for her to come in September for 2-3 weeks. The idea is to fly back...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    I can imagine that her landing papers with her Korean passport should make entering pretty straightforward.

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Ummmmm 24 months. Each and every one painful! Quick question, we are going back to Korea to visit family. My spouse won't have her PR card by then. Will her landing papers suffice to get back into Canada?

    Relocate to Quebec from Ontario after landing...

    That's really not the right spin to put on it. You are more than welcome to live in Quebec. If it were important enough, you could go through the CSQ process. But truth be told, even if you land in Ontario, you will have to wait 3 months to get healthcare coverage. According to the Quebec...

    Relocate to Quebec from Ontario after landing...

    From what I have read, you cannot land in Quebec without a CSQ. Not sure what your plans are...

    Relocate to Quebec from Ontario after landing...

    It does seem silly however it's what we had to do to get approval since Quebec has a hand in its immigration. My gut feeling is that your partner will have to qualify as a regular Canadian moving to Quebec. That is to say proof of living 3 months in Quebec. This should allow access to the...

    Relocate to Quebec from Ontario after landing...

    You could suffer some grief as you would not have the CSQ which opens the door for healthcare, free French lessons, reduced university costs, etc. In order to get the CSQ you have to pay around $400 and fill out some additional forms...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    I can't believe the COPR finally arrived today. WOO F-ING HOOO! We submitted our application on October 2, 2012 and we received the COPR on October 1, 2014. Simply shocking. Never did we think it would take this long. Now to plan our landing!

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Ya her sister can forward it to us. But my spouse is wondering if her sister can receive the package or not. Is it the case that only my spouse can receive it?

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Well my MP's assistant got back to me. It seems that the COPR was printed on September 22nd. She also told us that the mailing address was in Seoul and the residential address is in Montreal. She recommended contacting Manila to head them off at the pass. I am willing to bet the package has...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Just an update, I contacted my MP. His assistant asked me to contact the call centre to see what was happening with our file. I called to find out that they had the right address for me as a sponsor BUT they had the wrong mailing address for me as a sponsor. Then the guy almost chastised me...

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    Excellent question. Our MP told us it was approved on August 28th but that the COPR had not been issued yet. Three weeks and counting...

    Quebec applicants

    The point is if you are going to settle in Quebec or not (if you are going to become a Quebec resident). There have been people on these forums from other parts of Canada who settled in Quebec and vice versa. You can skip over certain sections HOWEVER you will have to apply for a CSQ through...

    You should provide details on your application with regards to your timeline (when did you submit, when were you approved as a sponsor, etc.).

    Sponsoring my Korean wife for permanent residency

    So we got our last GCMS notes and the last note says: August 25, 2014: File to officer for crim and possible finalization. We noticed that in e-cas, the status changed to "Decision Made" on Sept. 2nd. I just got an email from my MP's assistant. She let us know that we were approved on August...
