Hi Ana Villanueva, It has been a busy couple of days so apologies for the late reply. Yes she received her passport on Tuesday afternoon her time. We have already purchased her ticket to come to Canada. Prices are going up for flights as it is a holiday week for lots of schools here. Thanks...

Hi Jing16, This is helpful. We are hoping this week for our nanny that began her application on July 18 and received her passport request on February 8th. Her agency handed it in on February 12. Thank You

Hi denyelay, Thanks for your info. I have sent a message to our nanny to remind them to let HK immigration know. Yes the volume has increased for processing passports. When our MP reached out they received an answer that it would be within 2 weeks as of this week so we are hoping for...

Hi jenlilper15, Yes - I have heard that some also received their passport back very quickly while others are waiting. Our nanny said there was someone who was approved the same week she was and is in the same situation where it is taking weeks. I think we just need to be patient however if...

Hi Ana Villanueva and denylay, Thank you both for the information. denylay the information you have shared sounds like exactly the same issue that you have described. The nanny we are looking to hire has a visa for HK expiring on March 8th. The passport is still with CIC waiting to be...

Hi jeniiiper15 Just an FYI our nanny submitted her passport around Febaruary 12th. I contacted my MP to find out the status on her passport and CIC said it is in the queue and should be returned in the next two weeks. Therefore it looks like wait times are up to 5 weeks to get the passport...

Hi ankursapra Our nanny submitted all the requirements on July 18th of 2014. She received a request to submit her passport in early February. She is now waiting to have her passport returned. Hope this helps.

Hi Ana, Thanks for letting me know. I don't believe she requested that the passport be expedited. Do you happen to know the process to do this? Although it is coming up to a month on Sunday of this week so it may not help at this point. Thanks for sharing this information! Looks like...

Hi all, For those that received approvals for their visa in June or July have they received their passports yet? Our nanny received her letter on February 8. I believe with Chinese New Year things have been delayed. We were hoping she would get her passport today so we could have her in...

Hi Ana, Just an FYI the nanny we are looking to hire also received her letter. Her agency has handed in the passport for stamp. They are saying 2 weeks to process. She will likely give 1 month notice so she doesn't pay any penalties. Good luck with the rest of the process! Thanks for...

Hi kat augustin, May I ask if your status on the "Track Your Application" VAC page changed to a different status when you received your email? I am sure the nanny we are looking to hire is checking her email, but just wondering if the online status changes when the email comes out. We are...

Hi Kat, Glad to hear you are now onto the next step. Hope it is positive for you. Since your application was around the end of June, I am hoping the rest of us that have those that applied in July will start hearing about the next step.

Thanks Ana!

Hi Ana, Are you referring to before everything is submitted. Or is this another call they do just before submitting the visa. I want to make sure the person we are looking to hire has all this information. Thanks

Hello, Just to share timelines, Our MP contacted CIC in HK and our nanny's application is still pending review. They did state that the wait time is now 7-8 months because of the influx of applications which is similar to what others have been saying on this thread. We were hoping for there...

Hi Ana Villanueva, We are doing the same thing. Since the person we want to hire has not heard anything we are following up with the MP in our area to follow-up Monday. Our member of parliament already reached out once and asked us to reach out to them again if the person we want to hire does...

Hi Ana Villanueva No news yet. Our local MP has asked us to reach out to them on January 19 (one day after the 6 month period) to find out the status. Our nanny has mentioned that her friends have also not heard that completed their application around the same time. I will share any updates...

Yes - seems to be the same as what the web sites are saying as well. Was just hoping for before the holidays.

Just an update - we contacted our local MP. They found out that the processing time may have increased to 6 months therefore we could be waiting till mid-January before a decision. We are hoping for sooner, but with the holidays it looks like it will be January before we know of a decision...

Thanks denyelay - so there may be a chance that it could still be denied? Hopefully it is not the case. Thanks for all the information!
