Hong Kong timeline

[Western Mountain Man]

We contacted the lawyer 2 days ago and she didn’t even check the GCKey for us. Got so disappointed about them.

I am from Macao and so I think I will go through the HK visa Centre. As for my passport, it’s visa-exempted and I may not get the PPR at all. And thus, I expect the COPR will be mailed out directly to my lawyer. Is that true?

I saw some timelines of the HK applicants and found that they had no PPR too.

That doesn't surprise me....Lawyers are expensive and busy.
I assumed you were from the mainland and not sure of the process from Macao though It makes sense to go through
the HK visa office. You will need the COPR to land here and your representative should have all the information for you.
Contact them again after the long weekend and find out what's up.

In the meantime don't stress and have some of those yummy Portuguese tarts!

Thank you, Western Mountain Man.

Quite busy today to get ready for tonight’s 11.11 shopping in Taobao.

I heard if ur mailing address is in canada then application will send to Mississauga...

nope, We have our milling address in Canada and my spouse is in Canada with me on Visitor Visa still we first got transferred to Mississauga then HKVO.

their response was they dont have enough privilege to conduct background check so they send it to HKVO for further processing.

I called IRCC and the call center agent was able to read the their internal notes to me entered by one of the VO in Mississauga office.
And the agent informed me, once the file transferred to HKVO they wont be able to see any updates so it is better I contact them directly via web form.

Hi guys! So my husband who's the sponsor, is in Hong Kong with me right now and he has provided our Hong Kong address as his mailing address. Does that mean the consulate will send our COPR to our Hong Kong address to him? Also is the COPR from the IRCC or the local consulate?

I know what that's about.
Though, here in the west we are all wearing poppies to commemorate our fallen soldiers.
Many events happening locally. " lest we forget "

Did you receive your GCMS note yet?
I've heard application from China require extra background check time.

Hi guys! I have a few questions and I hope someone can help me with this.
1. So my husband who's the sponsor, is in Hong Kong with me right now and he has provided our Hong Kong address as his mailing address. Does that mean the consulate will send our COPR to our Hong Kong address to him?
2. I hold a Hong Kong passport, does that mean I won't get a PPR and just get a COPR instead?
3. Also is the COPR from the IRCC or the local consulate?

Thanks and good luck everyone!

No, I still did not receive the notes other than an email from ATIP saying they are overwhelming with the notes requests. I am not sure applications from China require extra BGC but it is probably true for some cases.

Hi,

I was wondering whether any applicant whose application received in June has received passport request.

It seems not too much news from Hong Kong visa office.

For anyone who might have the same questions. We just received my COPR and it was addressed to me (the applicant). And the COPR is sent from the Canadian consulate in your country/city.

I am from HK, but my processing time is also long. We share the same timeline and hear nothing so far. 2 weeks left before i hit my 1-year

Congratulations! Will you mind to share your timeline with us?

Thank you

I finally got GCMS notes today and need to spend some time deciphering this thing. But from a glance, it is seems criminality check is complete and security check is on going...
