For some reason I was under the impression that since Taiwan was a visa exempt country to enter Canada that my wife would not have a passport request. I was wrong, we got it today via email!

I am also living outside canada (I am sponsor) living with my spouse. What did you submit at first with your application as proof of your intention to return to Canada? You are a Canadian citezen, is that right? What else did they request and what other proof of return did you send to the HK visa office iin order for them to continue processing the applcation and give a passport request?
thanks and good luck! :)

I originally provided a brief 3 sentence statement in the space provided. Yah, I am Canadian.

I provided;
1. Detailed plan when we land
2. Detailed plan of how we will wrap up things here
3. Proof of acceptance into a program at the UBC
4. Living arrangements in Canada
5. Emails proving I have been looking for work and corresponding with employers in Canada.
6. Letter from current employer stating they know I am leaving when the papers come through
7. Copy of my current lease agreement which ends soon
 
Awesome news! Congrats!

How long do you think it will take from the PPR to visa issued?

Thanks, it's going to be super fast!

The letter states exactly "Pending a final assessment of admissibility criteria to ensure that all requirements have been met, your permanent resident application may be ready for approval and visa issuance in the near future" It goes on... "Due to the volume of visa processing at this office, it generally takes us 20 working days to issue permanent resident visa documentation and return your passports"
 
Fantastic! You must be extremely excited! Well done!

Can you share your timeline from the the CIC-M received your app to present?

Was it a letter or e-mail?

Thanks,

Hey, thanks again! Yah, we are stoked!
CIC-M received my app on Nov 15, 2011. HK received our app on Feb, 6 2012.

My wife is from Taiwan. It seems Taiwan is in the fast track!

Good luck to all of yah. It's stressful but just try and be patient! Things happen for a reason.
 
I wish you guys all the best! I also hope you get the visa very soon...20 days isn't that long to wait...

I understand that the HK VO is slower for mainland applicants, but I really hope that our application goes through as quickly as yours did. We provided so much evidence, I can't see why it would be delayed. I am 100% sure the VO will not question a) genuineness of our relationship and b) proof of intention to return to Canada. My wife has always lived in Guangzhou, so the background check should be straightforward. My wife said that she knows several people from Guangzhou who received the visa very quickly. One case is similar to ours: white guy married to a Chinese woman (they also have a child together). They were approved in 6 months from the time CIC-M received...

I also just got some good news from my future Canadian employer. I am now a 12% owner of the company and I also have a more official title of "Vice President of Procurement". The documents are on the way for me to sign, so I will make copies in case I am requested to provide further proof of my intention to return to Canada.

Everything is going so well at the moment, I can't see the visa being an issue. I spent hours and hours on it and I am pretty sure I submitted a very detailed application, yet I kept it practical and to the point so as to avoid any unnecessary delays.

Crossing my fingers and toes! I really want to get back home by this time next year!

You sound like you provided a bullet proof app! Where you guys going to be back in Canada?
 
London, Ontario. You?

Yeah, well, we hope it's bulletproof....I just hope that we are not delayed simply because my wife is from the mainland. I'm guessing that if the genuineness is not in question, and everything else is good, they'll process quickly.
