Not sure if visa depends on visa validity , that's would make sense though which makes me think that's not how they do things for sure then. Not much makes sense in any part of the process , seems to more depend on the officer who handles file. Another day and no visa shows up for us ... For...

tapecan, it should not actually take 17 months, it can depending on complexity of file. On very simple files with plenty of proof you should expect 6-9 months once its transferred to phills. they usually request passport after a month or 2 in phills and hold it for until file is completed. Our...

No need to worry about not hearing anything , might not hear until you receive SA, once it's. forwarded to phills you will soon get PPR then might not hear anything until approved , depends on who handles the file. There is no real procedure to how things go . Files that are not to complicated...

Seems the waiting never ends at any stage of the process , even when you think your done your never completely done ... Hold ups and delays until the bitter end . We recieved email visa was complete a d finalized and visa package would be shipped very soon, that was 23 days ago and another week...

Congrats on DM , very stage now

Received email stating application was finalized and visa package would be shipped shortly . That was march 20

They will. Give you expiry date of visa . You can book a one way ticket but I would wait until visa is in your procession before booking ticket

visa and passport will be shipped back together, all in 1 package they seem to use DHL courier for sending packages

There is no way to know when passport and visa is shipped to you

The embassy emailed me and said they ship DHL courier. Seems it takes 1week to 1 month to get visa back with passport

HI I got fed up with waiting as it could take a year or more so I called my MP, small towns are great. he contacted them and a Couple days later his office forwarded me the embassy reply via email that everything was finalized and approved and visa package would be shipped shortly. I never...

surelymaple, it looks like it can take anywhere from 2 weeks to a while for visa, like most things in phills... regular timelines don't apply we were told visa package would be sent shortly as everything was finalized... that was march 20... still nothing

any other august applicants get DM yet? we still waiting on visa, was approved March 20 and said visa package would be sent shortly. you would think after so many trips to the Philippines I would remember shortly in Philippines means something different than shortly in Canada. :) I hope the...

It looks like CIC is processing a bit faster now , I hope everyone gets good news soon. Anyone know how long visa usually takes after DM is made and file has been finalized and they say visa package will be sent shortly ? This was the info we got a week ago, and I'll be back in phills in 2 weeks...

congrats onemoretime.... great news

Have you contacted your MP, have him or her contact CIC on your behalf. They can contact cic in Canada for update and also contact Manila. I know most say mp has no influence in such matters but when an mp contact the embassy it can possibly get things moving . Most times the embassy won't give...

I meant like basic file, known each other quite awhile, no red flags etc.. my timeline is similar to yours, file transferred around November 10-15.. its not easy to get answers out of CIC I had a government official contact them on my behalf a week ago or so and it is now file is done....

agentorange: was your file started in Canada and transferred to manila? complicated file or strait forward

it was Canadian embassy in manila for final stage
