My wife has received her COPR and we're planning on going to Japan for a month and then coming back where she will officially "land" in Canada (she's been living here already as a temporary visitor for 9 months). I'm not quite sure what sort of documentation we will need exactly. I know we need...

So my wife has been approved PR and the courier envelope that we sent them when they asked us for a copy of the passport and a couple of PR size photos is being sent back. I assume that the contents are the COPR. I'm wondering what the next step will be. My wife is currently already in the...

My wife just received an email telling her that her application is almost complete and we need to "follow the following steps within the next 30 days". My wife is Japanese so I believe that she does not require a visa to enter Canada (please correct me if I'm wrong) which means that we don't...

My wife and I (her, a Japanese citizen, I, her sponsor) moved to Canada in July. She has just received her pre-arrival services message which has got me thinking about OHIP. Can she apply for OHIP yet, or do we still have to wait?

I am sponsoring my wife, we applied outland in the beginning of May and then moved to Canada in mid-July so her 6 months will be up in mid-January. I'm just wondering if there's any general advice for extending. Should we be applying as early as possible or should we leave it as late as possible...

I'm sponsoring my wife for PR and we arrived in Canada on July 12th. I'm sort of jumping the gun on this but it seems like PR is going to take a long time. I have a question about applying for an extension. I found on the checklist that they want a photocopy of your passport with the stamp of...

Just a quick question as I got a message from CIC last night: "This message is being sent to confirm that the Application for Permanent Residence for your relative(s) has been forwarded to the visa office in Singapore for further processing. " Is this normally what happens with applications...

Just a quick question about updating the request. They say that if you move you should update your address but I'm not sure if my wife has technically "moved" or not. We left Japan and moved back to Canada but my wife is technically visiting while she waits for her permanent resident visa to be...

My family and I are about to travel (move) to Canada. I've sponsored my wife and she's currently going through the long process of becoming a permanent resident. When we get to customs in Canada, what should we say about my wife? That myself and my kids are moving back to Canada and that my wife...

My wife needs to take her medical check and we'd like to do it while we're in Japan (we leave in about a week and a half. I (the sponsor) received my approval to sponsor and was told that my wife needs to take a medical. However, even though we've linked the account (on Jun 1st) and I received...

Just curious what most Canadians do upon returning to Ontario when they're no longer covered by OHIP. Myself and my two Canadian citizen children will be arriving in Ontario mid-July and I know that we have to wait for 3 months for our OHIP to kick in. Should we be getting health/travel...

Hello, I am a sponsor for my wife who is applying for her PR, after we submitted our applications we received our AOR at the end of May and then I linked the MyCIC account to her application on Jun 1st. According to the guide we should have requests for additional information but there are no...

My wife has linked her application to her account and now we're waiting for the requests for the police check and and medical check. However time is getting tight as we were planning on leaving Tokyo (where we currently live), staying at the in-laws for 10 days and then flying to Canada. My wife...

Does the responsibility for submitting the results of these checks fall to the applicant/sponsor or do the police establishments and authorized medical doctors send the documentation directly to IRCC?

My wife (Japanese) and family (two children, Japanese born Canadian citizens) are planning to move to Canada in the middle of July. I had been planning all along to apply for outland sponsorship for my wife, the thinking being that if we filed early enough, by the time we got to Canada there...

I just caught that as one of the check boxes on the supporting documents. I was already to get this thing sent off! I've already gotten the family register and invalidated family register (kosekitohon and kaiseigenkosekitohon) and had both of them translated at considerable expense. Is it still...

I'm going through my wife's application and I see she has to add all of her dependents including her spouse. Does she have to do this even though I'm a Canadian citizen and I'm the one who is sponsoring her? How about our two kids? They are both Canadian citizens. In that case, does she not...

I have a problem with one of the PDF forms that needs validating. My problem is that the entry field for the address is not long enough to accept the entire address. I can't seem to find any way to make the font size smaller when filling in a PDF so can I just enter as much of the address as...

I'm getting ready to submit the application to sponsor (outland) my Japanese spouse and then we are hoping to fly to Canada in July so that our family can stay together. I believe you can get a 6 month visitor visa and if necessary file for an extension. What I'm wondering is, will there be a...

I'm sorry for making my own topic but as I have a few different questions I thought it might be easier to group them in one place. My situation is that I would like to move back to Canada (currently living in Japan) this summer with the intention of going to graduate school in Toronto starting...
