My wife landed November 11, and we too are waiting to get the actual PR card.

My wife's CoPR has been received, and her passport is sporting a nice shiny PR Visa! I'll be picking her up at Pearson airport on the 11th of November (her visa expires on the date of her medical expiry, Nov.18). Just in time for winter! LOL I would like to express our warmest and most sincere...

I wouldn't buy the ticket just yet. I know it's not fair, but unless it is a refundable ticket, you are at risk of wasting the money if there is an issue while you wait for the visa/CoPR. We were told by CIC to tell the Visa Handling Centre to handle it as URGENT, die to short time frame on the...

Yes, it's frustrating. Weeks and months (and for many - years) of waiting, then RUSH, RUSH, RUSH. Please don't get me wrong - my wife and I are so very pleased we are so close to the end of this stressful journey, and can finally close the distance, BUT, the amount of time for this almost-last...

In the letter we received, it specifically cautions us not to make any irrevocable decisions - selling property, quitting job, etc., UNTIL we get the PRV, CoPR, and passport back.While she can pack, etc., she can't give formal notice to her boss, nor can she close her bank accounts etc. until we...

Is there a difference in faith? That can be one, but also can be explained. Age differences can sometimes be an issue, depending who is the older (husband vs. wife) and the cultural norms from where the applicant is from.As for you not being able to visit him, just make a point to explain why...

...and almost TOO fast. My wife got the PPR request today (that's the good news). Bad news is that her medical expires Nov. 18, and her passport October 15!!! (UGH!) We can get her passport renewed by end of month, and THEN it goes back to CIC, by way of the Canada Visa Application Center...

Kate - as a Canadian citizen with a passport and citizenship card, he must have been able to, at some point, provide a birth certificate or equivalent. I would recommend contacting CIC for guidance on this, or possible an immigration lawyer. What is his country of birth?

We printed our photos out on 8x10 photo paper, two to three to a page, and beside each one put the date, who was in it, and the context of the picture. We showed interaction between the two of us, between each of us and friends/family (important!), and tried to also include candid shots as well...

How were they being submitted? Mail? Courier? Did she get an actual letter stating the document is still required and that her file risks being closed without it?

Congrats! You guys must be thrilled beyond belief! I'm looking at your timeline and mine is very similar. We just had e-cas show, within the past week, that our file was "In Process", and a new line stating they started my wife's application on April 23rd. We had an email a couple days ago...

I don't think it would hurt to inquire. You may also want to follow up by phone to the toll free number, so there's further record of your inquiry.

LOL, yes, and you have the gratitude of both my wife and I ;D

Yeah, I remember there were a few from Vietnam that went through in amazing time. I'm hoping my wife and I fall into that same good luck. I'm looking at the timing of the request, relative to the expiry of the other dated documents (Indonesian police check expires Oct.6, and medical expires...

Hi guys - here's where we're at: Indonesian wife, working in Singapore, and going through the Singapore VO. We just received an email that asked her for the police certificate from Singapore. The Singapore police will apparently mail the certificate to CIC, and my wife won't actually see it...

The only thing it says about the interview at all was what I wrote. They didn't qualify it with anything else. Generally though, at what stage do they call for interviews? I'm assuming that they are now asking for the time sensitive paperwork (the Indonesian police certificate expires in...

They are now asking my wife to obtain the Certificate of Clearance from the Singapore Police. We had already submitted her Indonesian certificate last year when we applied, but since she works in Singapore we need one from there as well, and they only provide the certificate at the behest of...

My dear father passed away this week without ever meeting my wife. Dad was so heartbroken when we learned the TR Visa was denied. Hell, we all were. I'm so disgusted with the lack of flexibility in cases of compassionate request, and I'm so very hurt and sad that two people I love with all my...

I'm not in your shoes, but that is really odd. As you said, coming from a Visa-Exempt country, it doesn't make sense.

Thanks everyone for your comments/advice. The lawyer we'd being going to for help here and there, is going to draw up a quick reply, and resend certified true copies of the birth certificate, and will make note in his narrative that the existing document does in fact have the right info. He'll...
