Here's the link to the forum. Ask your wife to join the forum as I found the forum members shared a lot of useful information and case updates. Good luck! http://www.webtretho.com/forum/f677/

Hi Bold9900, That's correct. It took my wife 4 weeks and 2 days to get her passport back from SVO after dropping it off at the IOM in HCM city. As for the PR card, it took 64 days to receive it in the mail from the day my wife landed in Canada. I applied for my wife's OHIP a couple of weeks...

Hi Bold9900, Congrats to you and your wife on the upcoming reunion! My wife departed from HCM city and we did not have any problem with the Vietnamese customs. It was a smooth and quick departure. I accompanied my wife on her trip from Vietnam to Canada and we brought a lot of tropical fruits...

Congrats Bold9900. Next step is your wife to do a re-med. Most people who live in HCM City do their re-meds through IOM even though there are other designated medical practioners listed on the re-med instructions page. Passport submission will follow suite 2 weeks after that. There were cases...

Hi Hope. I used to think student visas were processed by the Cdn Consulate office in HCM city but it was not the case. Ms. Uyen explained to my wife that the Cdn Consulate office in HCM city processed student and visitor visa applications but the visas were issued by Singapore Visa Office. Have...

Thanks lazycat_husband. Best wishes to you and your family too! Take care!

Hi hope2012, I read somewhere on this forum that eCAS is updated every Tuesday. Just think positively and talk with your wife in Vietnam more often :). It helps... LoL. When was your file transferred to Singapore? When my wife came and picked up her visa and COPR at the IOM office in HCM city...

Hi lazycat_husband, I'm currently living in Mississauga. I've never thought any Vietnamese living in St. Catherine's... LoL... I thought Hamilton was the farthest any Vietnamese would live. Now I know you're living in St. Catherine's. Drop by for a visit if you ever head up to the GTA. I know...

Hi Lazycat_husband, Welcome to the forum. We'll gladly share our experiences with you :). Where do you live? I'm living in the GTA in Ontario. Take care!

hope2012, Thank you. Have you received any progress on your file? Best of luck to you and your wife.

My wife and I finally landed on Thursday August 23. Everything was smooth and easy. No major complaints. All the paperwork was done in less than half an hour. However, the only complaint (if I have to mention) was the waiting at Toronto Lester Pearson International Airport - CBSA area. It was...

Hi Taycaoco, Thanks for sharing your story. In my opinion, I think the timline between your first conversation with your wife and the time you proposed and held the engagement ceremony was too short. Considering you two had never met in person and held the engagement ceremony without your...

Murrayw, I think you'll be fine because you explained the reason for not having a civil wedding in the application. Unlike the Vietnamese Canadian man and his Vietnamese wife that you met, they are from the same culture and background. In my opinion, a formal wedding is important to prove their...

Hi RCVmini, My wife is from Saigon. I was originally from Saigon too. I can follow Northern accent without any problem. I only have trouble understanding Central accents of those who are from Phú Yên or Quảng Ngãi :) Where in Canada do you live? Have a great weekend!

Hi RCVmini, Your love story is quite romantic :). I have a feeling your file will move fast and the interview will be waived. As long as you submit all the evidence to prove your relationship is genuine, you will be fine. Best of luck and take care!

RCVmini, that's correct. My file was in process only 7 months after it was transferred to Singapore (Sep 2011 to Mar 2012). In my opinion, straightforward files that do not require an interview move very fast. I have a feeling that processing time increases in the summer. My wife had traveled...

Amy612 is totally correct. That was what happened to my case. Doccad, an advice for you, if your wife can manage to land in Canada by September 13, please DO. If she can't, she would have to wait 2 more months to get the remed done and with all the headache that goes with it. It took my wife 2...

Wiggie, Is your wife from Thailand? I'm making this guess by looking at your avatar flag. My wife is from Vietnam. You said your wife was asked to redo her medical and waiting for passport request? Did you send an email to Singapore VO? I believe your case could be the same as mine. Let me tell...

Hi Hope, Your file was transferred to Singapore 2 months after mine. The first email I received from Singapore VO was on April 12, 2012 to inform me that if my wife could manage to land in Canada on or before May 18, 2012 (the date her original med exam expired) so they could urgently prepare...

Bold9900, I will surely update on the landing process for my wife in August. Good luck to you all!
