    *NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

    That may be a possibility as the case managers investigate your history. It may take longer but it should not hinder from getting the visa issued. Unless there is something in your history that may be a red flag.

    If you're talking about information on IMM 5669, personal history since the age of 18 or the past 10 years whichever is more recent; I think since that's 15 years ago then it should not be a problem. You can ask CIC or CEM if they still require that information and tell them that you can send...

    Im trying to fully understand your case but the way I see it, if you stated all three reasons the way you stated it now. It might not be an issue. As long as you fully explain it on a separate letter.

    Q#1 I didn't write "N/A" as mine was automated as well. Unless it was specifically instructed I don't think it should be an issue. Q#2 Explanation letter is the best recourse for that matter. Also, attach all correspondences with all the consulates. Copy of Visa wouldn't hurt. So in addition to...

    I would say answer Yes to 6:D but No to 6:E. It might not look good on the application but it is best you tell the truth. You are free to attach a letter of explanation regarding this answer not limited to the space provided below that column. The way I see it, and I may be wrong on this is...

    *NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

    Have to admit, that stumped me. Im actually not sure how to go about that, but maybe it's ok for someone else to deliver the passport personally to VFS, as long as the correct payments are made and the correct passport is delivered. The only issue my wife encountered where I was thankful that...

    *NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

    Hi, There should be instructions on the letter sent by Manila Immigration on where to send the passport, either CEm or VFS. If you're sending to VFS best to personally deliver, as you have to pay additional fees. If not I think you have to send the passport via courier, with a managers cheque...

    Not an inconvenience. If I didn't want to help then I wouldn't have logged on. No problem and feel free to reach out if you need help. Also, I spoke too soon re: PPR. Just got my wife's PPR last night.

    Noob, No worries. Hopefully PPR soon but the best thing is that there already are some PPR's for August applicants even if its not me so it shows that CIC and CEM are moving. We'll all get our turn :) GCMS notes are notes created by Canada Govt' as part of their access to information or...
