Correct. Overall not fast tracked. What I meant was the processing through the Manila office was fast. Only 3 months. Oh, the other thing is my wife's medical is set to expire on Mar.5, 2015, so probably that had something to do with it. Yes , it took over 150 days for sponsorship approval. A...

Oh thanks. You will see my wife there tomorrow also. What about PDOS. Are you required to take that also?

I urgently need help. I will be leaving Philippines to immigrate to canada in less than two weeks.I am Filipino recently married to a canadian. What seminars am I required to take before I can leave the country? I am taking the PDOS now. What other seminars do I need to take? Panicking now...

My Filipino wife is immigrating to canada in a couple of weeks. Is she required to take both of these seminars? The PDOS is walk-in the GCS seems to be on-line registration. Is that right. How long does it take to get a spot in the GCS? Thanks

My wife just received her Visa and COPR today via courier. Processed at Canadian Embassy in Manila. Wow we are so surprised, it only took 3 months from the time her application was transferred to Manila to the day she got her Visa. What a great Valentine's Day gift!!! Good luck to everyone else...

Will Canadian Embassy in Manila make delivery on the weekend? My wife is expecting her passport with PR visa any day now. She has been staying around the house all week waiting because she probably should be there in person to receive it. Does anybody think they will deliver on the weekend? Can...

My wife received a letter from CEM on Feb.4, 2015 saying her "visa for permanent residence to Canada is ready to be issued conditional on a final admissibility review by an immigration officer". They also noted that her medical expires on Mar.5, 2015 and asked if she can land in Canada by...

Can somebody please provide a link to the May 2014 Outland Spreadsheet. I need to update. Status changed to "In process" on Feb.4, 2015. Her medical expires on Mar.5, 2015 and the letter from CEM dated Feb.4, 2015 said her "visa is ready conditional on final admissibility review by an...

Is my wife required to apply for her PR Card at her POE into Canada? After reading all of the requirements on the CIC website it seems that it is not a trivial matter. She needs to have a photo copy of her passport with stamp from Canada, a copy of a two more pieces of ID, two photo graphs. etc...

Hi. I realized recently that I didn't include the AOM with my application. The application is now in CEM. Should I send the AOM now or wait to be asked by the VO? I would think sending it now could avoid some future delay since I expect they will ask for AOM before requesting my passport...

No, the request came along about 55 days after I submitted the application on May 28, 2014, then again about 40 days after that.

I'm Canadian born and submitted what I thought was a straight forward sponsorship application. After the initial 55 days or whatever it was in May 2014, CIC-M asked for what they called "missing information". It wasn't missing at all but in fact additional information over and above what the...

Hey sorry for taking so long to reply. I didn't realize somebody had responded to my statement. OK first off I was assigned Officer CPE. Does that ring any bells with anyone? So the first request was for additional proof that I was actually divorced. Apparently my divorce certificate wasn't...

This is very interesting. So can I apply for OHIP on my wife's behalf 3 months after I received SA?

Thanks joshmim. Who said 2014 applications were way faster? Did CEM notify you via email when they received your application from CIC-M? So far my wife hasn't received anything yet from CEM. Yes we are both trying to stay positive.. Thanks

Hi Joshbim. I noticed your timeline is progressing quite fast. Good for you. My wife's application was just transferred to CEM. Hope hers progresses well also. She is Filipino and I'm hoping this will help speed her application along. May I ask if you and your spouse are both Filipino or just...

Could somebody please post a link to the spreadsheet. I'd like to view it. Also I'd like to add myself/wife and our data, or is that somebody else's responsibility? Thanks

So does that mean Canadian-Filipino couples are more likely to take the fast track or slow track?

Ok I really don't understand this. The whole PR application is in English, not a word of Tagalog in there. What does language have to do with it? CEM may never physically talk to either of us unless they ask my Filipino wife for an interview. She can speak both Tagalog and English. Surely...

Application Received at CIC Mississauga May 29, 2014. SA Nov.3, 2014 (150 something days). I think I set a new record for SA. Two requests for additional information. Man, I'm glad that's over. Now onto the nest step at Canadian Embassy Manila.. :D
