    Additional documents wanted

    Yup that's my plan However because they asked for those docs again, I'm worried that maybe we sent the wrong docs in the first place. I can't imagine that we did but who knows. The last thing I want to do is send the wrong docs twice. Thats why I'm wondering maybe if the call centre can assist...

    November 2011 ~ Manila Visa Office ~ November applicants lets chat!!!

    So what happens next after the sponsorship is approved. Are we waiting for CIC to contact us again? Can anyone guess what the average waiting time is for them to request a passport, or an interview or anything else? And do they usually email or will we expect physical mail to The Philippines...

    cover letter on the application (?)

    PMM is correct However there is a statement on 2 forms, one form for the sponsor and one for the applicant that says something along the lines of "On a separate piece of paper list any additional details that will further prove your relationship" (not sure of the wording) We both wrote one in...

    What if she can't find her babies father?

    ok....I had thought it's bad news because it said Unknown for the Father but maybe it can work in our favour. We made a point to mention in a notarized letter that although the birth certificate says unknown that she does know who the Father is, we stated his name and also stated that she has...

    That's a good question We all know the answers such as it depends on your situation or the VO etc However in general they say 80% of the applications are done in 10 months. (Philippines) I wonder what percent are done in 8 months, 6 months and so on I wonder if maybe 50% are done in 6 months...

    Birth late registered Philippines - Additional documents

    Don't quote me on this but I believe that that NSO birth certificate is fine without any further documents needed as long as it's an original on NSO paper. For the example you provided my partners daughter is just 1 year old and there is no record of registration therefore we provided an...

    We applied.....now what?

    So I understand the first step is being approved to sponsor which is currently 70 days. But does that mean we hear nothing from anyone until then? I'm also not sure yet what ecas is....will they send a letter explaining or is it up to us to figure it out?
