Dear XXX:
 
Thanks for your msg. We suggest that you go to your bank to get a financial
statement and write a letter of invitation for the person you intend to get
over to take to her/his workplace and the public security bureau for passport
application. It works as long as s/he insists on the visiting nature of the
trip. After s/he has got the passport, s/he can go to the Canadian Embassy for
medical examiniation forms and etc.

Bing Wen:
 
     Could you let me know that is there any thing new about the
family reunification cases?
 
     I heard from a local immigration officer last week that they
have to wait until they know the results of medical exam and
background check of our family members in China to process our
final landing. The problem appears to be after applied for family
reunification for months, our family member were not contacted by
the Canadian Embassy to arrange the medical exam. Since the family
members have difficulty to get passport from the Chinese Public
Security Bureau, they could not contact the Canadian Embassy by
themselves either. It seems now that the Canadian Embassy in China
handle the family reunification cases follow the normal immigration
proceeders. Therefore, without our sponsorship, the immigration
proceeders of our family members could not even get started.  If
the local immigration office hold our final landing due to our
family reunification application, then every thing jams up. We can
not sponsor our family members at all. Do you have any information
indicates that our final landing must be delayed by our family
reunification application? What should we do now? Is FCSSC still
working on the Family Reunification Cases? It is highly appreciated
If you could give me some information and suggestions.
