hello all
my wife from Guangzhou China finally got the COPR and the Canadian visa stamped on her Chinese passport, we will be flying to Edmonton at the end of Sept.
I was wondering if she need to get a exit-permit from the local Public Security Bureau in order to leave China? Or does she just need her Chinese passport, the COPR letter and the one way air ticket to Edmonton?

please help thanks

I think she suppose to send her passport to get a visa?
btw, can you tell us your timeline?

Thanks

hi wind23,

my wife timeline :

We received your application for permanent residence on July 13, 2015.

We started processing your application on September 14, 2015.

Medical results have been received. (Mid Dec 2015)

Beijing VO request to send in her Chinese passport. (1st week of Mar 2016)

Received COPR and her Chinese passport with CDN immigration visa stamp. (Mid April 2016)

I think you'd be better off calling the Public Security Bureau for this question so they can give you the official answer. I'd do ASAP as well because I don't know how quick that process is if you do need an exit permit.

hello,

I called two different locations of the PSB and both of gave me conflicting response.

one office said need to cancel her Hukou first and then get a exit permit

the other office said she can leave China just with her Chinese passport, the COPR and air ticket

I was kind of afraid this might happen, the curse of double checking to hear something different. How long does it take to get an exit permit. My view has always been to over prepare for eventualities especially with government departments, better off getting the exit permit rather than not doing it and being stopped at the border.

Is there a third location?

Beijing VO? Are not all Spousal Family cases processed in Hong Kong?

hi
initially we were dealing with the HK VO when they requested us to mail additional docs
but it was Beijing where we mailed her Chinese passport for the CDN visa

Hi, I'm planning to sponsor my wife from Hongkong to be PR in Canada. She is currently living with me. All I have see on the CIC website is that I will have at least 24 mos waiting time. Is it normal? Is it the fact that she is living with me in Canada makes the waiting time to be much longer?

If you apply "outland" the processing time is about 12 months or maybe less. She can be living in Canada and still apply outland ie Member of Family Class.
