    Congrats on your decision made!! :) We got a similar email and I was just wondering...was your application also processed in London, and that you're to send your final documents to the London Visa Application Centre? My partner is from Japan but his application was processed in Ottawa. The...

    Moving to Canada from Japan with Japanese Wife - Best Options?

    OP, agree to ignore Regina and listen to Rob_TO. I am sponsoring my Japanese partner and we currently live in Japan. I provided a letter from my parents in Canada stating we would stay with them until we found our own place. This was extremely important information to prove my intent to return...

    Processing time Japanese Citizens at the Manila Office

    Has your application been sent there? My partner is Japanese but our application was sent to Ottawa. It took us almost 7 months to get Decision Made, but we needed multiple police clearance from his time living abroad so that look a little longer.

    What form do I bring for Criminal Record check in Japan?

    My partner got his check from the police station in Osaka and I am pretty sure he just brought appendix B and (I thiiiink) A from the link provided above. Plus he had some proof ready to show that he needed his police check for the application like just the instructions on the website or...

    Congratulations!!! Oh my goodness I was super anxious! Even now I don't feel 100% relaxed yet...not until we have that COPR in our hands! But definitely a lot less stressed than before. Moving back to Canada will of course be stressful but knowing we will be making the move together makes it...

    PSA: New CIC Online Account System

    Oh man that's super disappointing...but at least we still can order GCMS notes. An ordeal for sure, but better than nothing! Trying to look on the bright side here...lol :(

    NOVEMBER 2015 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Thanks for the reassurance. Of course each application/situation is unique but it's nice knowing we are all in this together! I guess most of the anxiety is from us not being able to receive my partner's Chinese police clearance and whether or not the documents we sent in are enough for Ottawa...

    It is 9:40pm, May 24th Japan time...and we are still waiting /sigh We know they received our FBI check on May 13 since we got an email saying it was attached to our file...but I still have no idea how this Chinese police clearance thing is going to play out.

    NOVEMBER 2015 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Hey! It's nice to see another Japan application on here, we seem to be a rare breed lol! So actually we were able to get my partner's police check without CIC's request. So we sent that in with our application back in November. I ordered our GCMS notes and it was passed fine (as expected since...

    NOVEMBER 2015 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Hello everyone! So for those who are curious I recieved our GCMS notes today! As suspected, it seems to be waiting for the FBI check and Chinese police check that has delayed our application. I ordered notes on April 11, and they were generated on April 12. Our latest "notes" update (from...

    No DM/contact from CIC yet, should I contact CIC?

    My partner and I applied at the beginning of November 2015. We are going through the Ottawa office and we are still waiting for a DM as well. It is hard to be patient and seeing other people get DMs while you're still waiting is definitely nerve wracking but hang in there! I'm sure we will get...
