They seemed fine with me going in the visitor line. Since you are connecting you may be able to take your family to that line, which is at the far left when you first enter the immigration area. I don't know if we needed a customs card filled for my wife, I just did it anyways along with the...

So, my wife and I landed in Toronto, Terminal 1 last night, everything went quite smoothly. We landed at about 6:30pm, direct flight from Hong Kong. When we entered into the immigration hall, and went to the line-up for the visitors. This line was a little bit long here, this was where...

I am headed to Canada on Thursday with my wife, I can share our experience then. You do need to find the B4 form on the CBSA web-site. I cannot locate a link for it right now, but I did a few weeks ago.

Don't give up hope, you are a Hong Kong citizen yes? If so, that means when decision is made you get your COPR in the mail pretty fast, no need for a visa. It sounds like you are having a long security check, but it could be finished any day now. You could order your GMSC notes, but you might...

I am headed to Toronto on Thursday. I will let you know how our experience goes. Also, I think you will get your passport back this coming week, since you submitted yours a week after we did.

A quick update, the tracking on the website says that my wife's passport has been returned to the VAC today. They have said before that they will mail it out the same day, so it should be on the way tonight. :)

No, did not get it yet >:( We sent ours April 22, our VAC tracking number is April 26. I did ask VAC when they sent the passport to the embassy, and they said they sent in on April 27. When we ask how long before we get it back, we get a generic "1-2 months" answer. My wife talks to a QQ...

What exactly will the VAC in Beijing send to my wife? My understanding is it will be just the passport with VISA and the COPR. I ask because my mother-in-law seems to think we cannot open what they send or my wife cannot go to Canada for 16 months. I have no idea where she gets this idea...

Check out this link. http://www.canadavisa.com/spousal-and-common-law-partner-sponsorship.html I have also seen it somewhere else, but can't remember where.

Not that I know how things are done, but I would think they should be able to process a lot of these. How hard can it be to put a visa in a passport and print the COPR? Family reunion visas are suppose to be highest priority too yes?

The medical expire after one year. If your application takes too long, CIC will send you a notice to do it again, but usually only after your application has passed the eligibility stage. For my wife's case, her medical expired a couple of months before she even got notice for an interview...

Nope, nothing there, I keep an eye on that all the time.

Thanks, we do know it arrived. The VAC called on Monday and asked if we wanted to get a refund for the extra fee we paid. But we never got a tracking number yet.

Not that we are aware of. We will check into it, but I never heard of it before.

I am just wondering if anyone who submitted their passports to Beijing in the last week or two have gotten a tracking number from the VAC in Beijing. I have not heard anything.

I think they will likely start the security and police check soon. I read once that they don't start the security until after the medical is recieved, but I never really found out for sure if that is true. For my wife and I, we got the the PPR about 26 days after we did the medical at an...

Sorry about that. Both my consultant and I came up with the same value. Not sure how we both got it wrong.

The current fees are 199.4CNY based on: CNY 155.10 - Secure transmission of passport to the Embassy of Canada in China upon request by visa office (for example, electronic application) Price per Passport and CNY 44.30 - Courier Delivery of Applications Price per Person We read the wrong number...

Since it takes at least a couple weeks to get gcms notes, they should be updated by the time you get them. Most likely they were actually updated months ago. In our case, the notes were not particularly helpful for the interview other than saying there was no proof of joint affairs that...
