    June 2013 - Outland Applications!

    The "Decision Made" status refers to her sponsorship portion only. If you sign into ECAS using the sponsor's information you will see the same thing. When we set up our application package we filled out the use of a representative so I can see information on both the sponsorship and...

    It looks like they tightened up the requirements as far as List 2 ID. See http://www.forms.ssb.gov.on.ca/mbs/ssb/forms/ssbforms.nsf/GetFileAttach/014-9998E-82~1/$File/9998-82E.pdf They list letters from the bank not being acceptable This might be part of their big push to eliminate health...

    In our case my address always showed on my wife's ECAS. Then when the PPR came they asked for her current mailing address if it had changed (for return mail for PP), and after submitting it (just in case) her address changed to her Philippines address when she went "In Process". I just checked...

    Yeah, threw out the Bounce sheets but decided to keep my galoshes. Never know when we may get another flood. :P

    Was just looking at what is needed for OHIP and have a similar situation. You need 3 IDs and the second one will take at least a month to get. So I guess I'll have her get the Ontario ID, then when it arrives 4-6 weeks later she can go for the health card. They will accept the COPR or landing...

    They wouldn't accept the COPR?

    November 2012 Applicants Unite!

    Being "In Process" is a good thing. The next stage will be Decision Made. So you are getting near the end.

    SPOUSE / FAMILY CLASS timeline MANILA Visa Office PHILIPPINES

    Neither of them really. The first was the date they got your application, the second was the date they acknowledged your payment. The AOR date we have on the spreadsheets refers to the date you receive notification by mail or email that your application was received. A lot of people never get...

    SPOUSE / FAMILY CLASS timeline MANILA Visa Office PHILIPPINES

    To add you I need to know the type of app (married, common-law, conjugal, child), the number of dependents on the app and if they are accompanying or non-accompanying, your destination in Canada, the date CIC-M received your application, and the date your sponsor was approved. Also the date you...

    A ticket for PAL will not include either the airport tax or the travel tax. So there will be 1620php for travel tax and 550php for airport tax payable at the airport.

    ‘Birth tourists' using Canada's citizenship laws as back door into Canada

    That's why all Kenney's interviews where he used to talk of delays being caused by marriage fraud were lies. Remember the Star articles posted on this site months ago about Cuban marriage fraud and CIC saying it was a problem? Well guess what the wait time for Havana is? 9 months as well! So...

    ‘Birth tourists' using Canada's citizenship laws as back door into Canada

    And yet Beijing has one of the fastest processing times at 9 months. Go figure.

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    Yes, there are many, many ways the process can be improved, checkpoints added, and the whole process be made more transparent. But it won't happen for the simple fact that the government doesn't want to be transparent. If there were well documented procedures and full disclosure then you...

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    It is particularly hard to find incentives that work anyway. Studies have shown that monetary incentives work for manual labour like someone on an assembly line. There is a direct relationship between output and money that can be set up and it does result in improved productivity. But as soon...

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    That wouldn't work. As long as the work is getting done and people aren't complaining the government would have no incentive to bargain. They would just let them work with no new contract indefinately. And there would be no social pressure since most people before this strike never heard of...

    Foreign Service - Strike?

    What I find annoying is the union attack. What if this weren't the government? If it was a private company people wouldn't attack the union. They would call the company to complain about the service. When the company says its the union's fault most people would say they don't care, they paid...
