Ian,

Thanks for your info about HSBC.
I applied the criminal checking at Police headquarter this morning, it tooks only 10 mins.
Don't wait for CIC request, just print out the CIC email with your name and UCI. Save 4 weeks!!

Hi Mumof3,
Do u know your criminal cert. has been transferred to HKVO yet? I called the police headquarters on yesterday, they said that my cert. has been transferred to HKVO on 8 April 2015, but my on status still "application received", how about u?

Hi LN9714,
all you have to do for MPF withdrawn is going to Government Office to make declaration of saying that you are going to leave HK permanently within 3 months (immigration to Canada), lets say Aug 2015 and then they give you the declaration documents .( 1 hour or less can do ) and fill-in the MPF form ( given by your agent) for withdrawn (need to do first before declaration). and then bring this letter to your MPF agents to apply for refund. It takes less than 1 month for this processing. For me , only 3 weeks that I can get all MPF money, transferred to my bank directly. >>>>>> please fill-in the MFP withdrawn form first and then go to Government Office for declaration.

Hi Ian,
Is that means no need to provide an evidence for HK Gov't Office to make this declaration? Thanks.

Hi Ian,

Hi LN9714,
If you are sponsor, of course you have Canadian passport, then use passport for your evidence. if you are the sponsored person (applicant)
then you need to wait for COPR letter or PR Visa in your HKSAR passport for your evidence as well as declaration signatures of Govt authority to apply for the MPF withdrawal.

should you have any questions, please let me know.

Hi, buddies,

My application was recieved by Mississuaga on 17th Dec. 2014, AOR1 was on March 3 2015, SA was on 17 March 2015, now it should be transfered to HKVO according to SA.

I am now waiting for AOR2. Is anybody in the similar situation?

Thanks for your reply.

Nov 28th,2014 received by Mississuaga
Feb 19th, 2015 AOR1
Feb 22th, 2015 DM letter mail out
March 11th, 2015 AOR2

not sure how long have to wait. we are living separate and suffering.

 

[ghanj54]

EandV,

Congrats!!!! DM took 6 months after SA. Pls let us know the next step. Are you on July 2014 thread?
I am Nov. App transferred on Mar 3, 2015.
Did you see `In process' status before DM ?

app transferred on Mar 11, 2015

Is there anyone has an update since app transferred from beijing to HK on March 25th?

 

[LN9714]

Why the application has been transferred from Beijing to Hong Kong Visa Office? Beijing have their own VO?!

not so sure, maybe cic call back some of their officers in beiJing. I heard that their budget have been cut down 30M this year.

I could not understand why cic establish a policy that treat citizen and PR differently. what is the reason make PR have to stay in Canada during the process.

I feel I am a prisoner after the application submitted, and it force me to stay separately with my wife. I could not believe this inhumane act exist in Canada.

I heard there's backlog in BJ office, therefore, transfer to HKVO to clear the backlog

Judged by the fact that nothing has happened for the past two months since the transfer which was in March,I highly doubt this is the solution to clear the backlog.

 

[bukeluke]

I applied in Dec 2014, I really doubt if I could get the visa by end of this year? I got AOR1 and SA at the beginning of March. Then, I didn't receive AOR2 anymore, but other countries' VO that applied the same timeframe already got AOR2. Really cross my finger...

 

[jmo1968]

Hmmm..... just wondering which month's applicant getting PPR or COPR in Hong Kong...... I would love to see where i am in...
