I live in Vancouver. I didn't check the status through immigration Canada but my wife forward the email sent to her by the Consulate in Hong Kong to me to translate for her the instructions.  She's going to courier her passport today and will get the passport back with the visa within 10 days.

Thanks for the information. I see you also posted on the immigration website. Is their assumption correct, that your wife is from Hong Kong?

Wow, did I already say that?

I think I have to ask my wife if she has checked her post box, she is bad for only visiting it once every couple of weeks. But I am very certain no news will be the result. Oh well, still once again congrats.

I replied to the immigration website. My wife is from Hunan and currently lives in Shenzhen. I just checked immigration Canada website and her status was in progress with medical records received.

Thanks Heckerd for checking. You gave me some good intel :idea:
Our status still just says processing recieved files June 18th. Your information tells me that they are behind in posting the status of files on the CIC web site. I expected this. Seems strang for us. My wife also lives in Shenzhen, born from the Guangdong province. When she recieved her original letter from the Hong Kong embassy stating the arrival of her documents, they also requested her to redo some more medical test. CIC still doesn't say anything about recieving her medicals :icon_confused:

I think my wife got her passport back after sending it to the consulate in Hong Kong. She got 2 letters date October 5 from Hong Kong but didn't get it until the 13th due to the post office being closed for the whole week due to National Day. She's going to check the post office tomorrow. Not sure what the letters say until she scans them to me.

My wife got her passport back along with the immigration papers for her to enter Canada. The letters were just from the post office telling her to pick up her package. She would have gotten her passport earlier if she check her mailbox daily but thought they were going to deliver the passport to her. They send my documentations which I submitted back when I applied back to her along with her passport. Time to look for some flight tickets for the end of November or first week of December to give my wife time to get her stuff organize back home, getting her apartment rented out, go back home to visit the family and friends before leaving etc. Canada immigration website updated her status to "decision made".

Just a quick update here, but also will go over again in more detail on my Hunt for Red October thread. My wife was interviewed for 1.5 hours by the Shenzhen Police department as a background check for her visa application. This is the first time I have heard of the police doing a detailed interview.
