    Hi everyone, I'm in the process of completing documents for me and my wife. Just a quick question: Context: For our proof of English or French language ability, we're using diploma, certificate or transcripts from a secondary or post-secondary education program in Canada or abroad, where the...

    *NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

    I dont think so. I started completing the application forms a few days after I got hired here. By the time i was done I've been working for 3mos already. Get started on those forms ASAP. They will require pay stubs from your husband which he can compile while completing the forms then he can...

    *NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

    Avi, Good job on researching. That order should be ok but you can already pay the fees before submission thru credit card (that should be easier). Upon payment online, you will be sent a receipt which you will also include in the application package that you will submit to CIC. Mine was sorta...

    *NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

    As long as he's inside Canada and as long as he can show CIC that when you arrive you will not seek financial aid or welfare from the gov't then you can immediately apply.

    *NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

    No. It's useless. As long as you're within the 17month processing period they will just respond by saying its in process and they cannot do anything since it's within the published processing time table. I tried going through our MP once but it's almost the same answer as what I got from my...

    *NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

    He can immediately apply. The key though to have his sponsorship to be approved is to have a job, if not then he has to provide CIC with a concrete explanation on how he plans to support you and your dependants (if any) in terms of providing primary necessities (food, shelter, clothing) The...

    *NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

    Hi Karla and Shemah, After AOR2 usually the next you will wait for will be PPR or request for additional docs (only if the application is incomplete) This will probably be the longest part of the application cause this is where the case managers will do their background checks on the applicant...

    *NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

    Hi, Sent my wife's application August 2015. I went home to visit her end of January and stayed for 2 weeks. It should not be a problem. My wife got her PPR roughly a month after I flew back to Canada.

    *NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

    That may really be the best strategy. VOH btw is Visa on Hand. I think you mean CEM (Canadian Embassy Manila) :) Standard passport request is 30 days to comply so once you get your PPR you have that much time to come back to manila and submit the passport and other documents they may request...

    *NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

    Hi Skye, This is weird. I'm actually unsure how you can work around that. I don't think VFS will take that long. So far the average I've seen is 2 and a half weeks from submission of passport to VOH. Based on my prior conversations with some consultants and embassy employees you have to receive...
