Hi all - Does anyone know how long it will take to issue the COPR letter after sending photos etc back to the HKVO? My friend sent her docs back about two weeks ago, after receiving the email about this - we are just waiting for her to get the letter now!

Great news! My friend got the email telling her the decision has been made, and asking her to send a photocopy of the passport etc so they can issue the PR letter! :D So happy right now! Quick question: Does anyone know if she will need the eTA clearance to enter Canada when she lands with her...

Any news from HKVO since before Christmas? My friend submitted all her docs (including additional ones they requested) by the end of November, and was told it was in a queue waiting for an officer to review the file. So we're just waiting with fingers crossed and bated breath...

Hi SSMC: You'll be subject to Canadian personal income tax (and hence have to file income taxes with the CRA) once you are deemed a "resident" of Canada. I think (but am not certain) that you'll be a "resident" as an immigrant once you've been resident in Canada for 183 days in a single year...

Ironically, just today my friend received an email from the HKVO about her request for an extended deadline. They gave her thirty days more (although at the same time confirming that they had received her documents already!). So it seems that they are happy to give extensions. They had also...

Congratulations, Heck! My friend managed to get her extra documents back to the HKVO one day before the deadline they set... They didn't contact her about her request for a deadline extension, but I guess that's because she sent the docs in on time. Now we just need to wait! I think they have...

Sorry for the delay in getting the timeline here after your help, @Heck and @waiwera! I was waiting to get some of the details from my friend's sister. I've put it in below.And that's a really good sign that they should give her a bit longer to send the documents! Here is the timeline...

Thanks for the help, Waiwera! The information on the documentation and likelihood of time extension are really useful - I appreciate it! (Unfortunately, I'm still having trouble editing my profile: the only option I can see under "Modify Profile" is "Account Related Settings." Am I missing...

Hi all - A (Taiwanese) friend of mine who has been sponsored by her younger sister received an email asking for additional documentation. Her parents are deceased, and she also has an older sister living in China now. She has been asked for: 1. Official hukou for herself and all her...

Hi everyone! I am newish here, and have been asked to find out some things for a friend of mine, a Taiwanese citizen who is being sponsored for PR by her sister. She has questions specifically about the Hukou; we've tried contacting the HKVO directly, but haven't received any responses...

My friend has another couple of questions - if anyone can help! 1) Does she need to provide her parents' hukou? They are deceased, so she thinks she needs to prove this. (She is being sponsored by her sister.) 2) She'd like to confirm that the Hukou is the document with her personal...

Thanks, Steaky! I will suggest that to her.

Hi everyone - this is my first time posting, so please forgive me if I'm making mistakes! A friend of mine, a Taiwanese citizen, has applied for PR under Family Sponsorship (sponsored by her sister). Her application has been forwarded to the Hong Kong Visa Office, who have had it "in...
