Chris were and how are notes ordered? thanks

everyone requesting notes couldn't hurt, but the only way to get them moving is through fear, like bad press.... like people contacting the media or everyone organizing a protest day at the Canadian embassy in manila. 1000 people showing up @ the Canadian embassy in manila would get noticed in a...

amazes me that the embassy in manila say they won't answer questions until the 17 months has expires and you should just assume your application is complete and you should just check the ecas, especially since they don't seem to update the ecas.

Congrats to those that are getting DM and visa issued, seems August applicants are starting to see action , except those from the Manila office which is no big surprise. As another week has passed for me without no update on ecas again , now like 9 weeks after PPR but I have never had an ecas...

Rachelle, next step is application will be forwarded from Ottawa to the embassy in Manila , you might not get notice of receipt from Manila . Then they might request Passport, that doesn't mean they are working on your application as that's just how Manila does things , usually. There is no real...

that is indeed crazy and totally unacceptable, on a simple application. I have heard many stories on most embassy's , I'm sure most are back logged and under staffed. Not much any of us can do except the usual things, call MP, email our government etc... Most problems at these embassy's could be...

5 years is a very long wait , must have had some complications. Not long to one is long to another . On a simple application a year is to long . And the long wait at the Manila embassy is a symptom of a problem . As everyone knows most things take longer in the phills but the Canadian embassy in...

There doesn't seem to be a procedure that is followed, some get PPR and then no update for months on ecas , others get DM before PPR.... It's like no one knows what they are doing and the Canadian embassy in Manila ..... They just do what they feel like doing with no consistency

onemoretime: the cricket sound might be heard for a very long time as it seems the Canadian embassy in manila has been on lunch break for a few months with not much work being done, and they seem to be slow at the best of times

Anyone receive any updates

You will probably wait 6 -12 months , could be a bit longer but you never know , hope for the best

they may say its within processing times, but they processing times have now become unacceptable! a year and a half to process a spousal visa application.... election is in the near future time to contact local MP's, immigration officers, local new media etc... One thing I learned from years in...

We should all start posting our complaints in the Facebook page of the Canadian embassy in Manila . As the system is flawed and getting worse

And people show start posting there complaints on the Canadian embassy in Manila's FB page

Might be time for people to start contacting there local media about all these issues , and those in Manila it might be time for a protest in front of the embassy . It's ridiculous that things take as long as they do! Some have had PPR already and are still waiting for visa 6 months after PPR

If the embassy in Manila worked any slower it would completely stop. Waiting for DM for 6 months after PPR is ridiculous and shows a complete lack of process happening at that embassy. Holding the passport for any length of time after PPR makes no sense. As passport should only be requested...

we have had no update on ECAS, its been almost 2 months since PPR, then today on ECAS they added my wife's home address online as before was just listed mailing address of agency we used. Not sure if it means they have open file again or if its meaningless. I hope any change means something is...
