Hi all, the information on this forum is very helpful and helped me come to a peace of mind LOL. Now I want to share my experience with the rest of you...
I'm a Canadian living outside of Canada for 9 years. My wife and I married 9 years ago and have been living together for the past 9 years in Vietnam with two kids, a 4 years old son and a 2 years old daughter. Below is my timeline so far...
May 26/12 - I sended our application out to CIC in Mississauga
August 8/12 - received an email from CIC notifying me that they've received my application on June 11/2012, the letter contains a UCI case # which you may use to check your status online on the CIC website.
August 13/12 - received an email from CIC notifying me that my application as the sponsor has been approved, and that my wife's application for permanent resident is send to the visa office aboard which is in Singapore.
TODAY August 28/12 - I log on to the CIC website daily to check our application, and right now under my wife's permanent residence applications status is "application received".
From what I've read on this forum, it usually takes anywhere from 4 to 8 months for the permanent residence application. If any of you have question? Feel free to ask, I might be able to answer a few questions.
Wish me luck, and I'll update as soon as I get more good new.
