Just an update. Good thing, i requested GCMS notes. In the notes, reads the following:
1. They sent correspondence about notice of delay on march 22, 2019.
*Weird coz ecas still shows as AOR. Btw, i never received this correspondence
2. I am required to undergo DNA testing.
*it was the embassy that recommended the testing.
Timeline:
Submitted the application to the Canadian Embassy in Manila on November 28, 2019.
1. Application received in Sydney on December 18 2018
2. Acknowledgment of Receipt on January 28, 2019
3. Correspondence sent on March 22, 2019, *allegedly* sent but not received
I sent the webform to IRCC and to the Philippine Embassy to schedule the DNA testing asap. My father is 70 years old, havent seen him for 20 years, and he has an existing heart condition. I told them to give me this opportunity before it's too late.
Will keep you posted on their feedback.
