Ours was like that. They asked for a missing document (Proof of marriage? alternative to the CENOMAR) which we left out because i assumed they wanted the CENOMAR which made no sense! Totally my dumbness there. Then nothing till they called my wife on Tuesday. I imagine your status will just get...

More hope than I even knew! My wife got a call today from CIC Manila, and it's been approved! She has to go pick it up on the 28th, and land on or before March 16th. So happy! It's been so long! that basically means 8-9 months since we applied to it being approved! I hope everyone else's goes...

Hi, My wife's visa was approved today! We applied Mid June 2015. Due to her medical expiring soon, they seem to have rushed it a little, and she has to land on or before March 16th. WE'LL FINALLY BE BACK TOGETHER! SO EXCITED!

Oh wow! Congratulations! This gives me some hope, my wife and I filed mid june in manila :D

I don't think it matters, since it's a family sponsorship. Families move. I don't think it hurts to tell them, but its not like you applied for Quebec and their special entry, and are instead staying in Vancouver or something. Besides, who would willingly move to AB at this time? lol. We're not...

Banks support what is called a wire transfer. You can send money from one account, directly to another even if they are in different banks in different countries. You just need to have an account you can send money to in your destination country, get the wire transfer details for that bank and...

I just requested my notes. How long did it take to get yours? I hope it doesn't take the 30-60 days people are saying it's going to :(

I filed for my wife in June 2015, they got the package on June 22nd, got AOR on July 24th, wife's application was marked in process on Aug 25. They did request an additional document that I managed to miss (Philippines Advisory on Marriages), and we sent it off within days of their request. The...

Yeah, I've read its not likely, but some people have had luck, though not necessarily from the Philippines. Yeah, we're intending on filing for that soon, as it may take a while.

Hi, My wife will be applying for a PR soon under the family/spouse class, and she is having a really hard time dealing with being apart for so long. It's only been a couple months since I came back from the Philippines. I can't imagine how much worse it may get if her application takes 8+...

Thank you everyone for the tips and suggestions :) I received the certificate a week ago (forgot to update this thread, sorry!). In the end we asked a friend of my wife's family to send us some IRCs from the main post office in Manila (man, she has so many friends and family in the Philippines...

It seems like its not something most post offices have. :( My wife did talk to the manager of the main post office here in Davao. Sadly they said no IRCs. Thank you! :) We might ask a friend in Manila to send us some. Might be the easiest way. Or we'll attempt to just send a check in US funds...

I'd be interested in hearing as well. I recently married in the Philippines and we are almost ready to file our application (new passport is on the way with my wife's married name, thai police clearance is being stubborn). Hopefully it won't take too long. I may attempt a dual intent visitor...

I called them today before I posted here. They said they could not help me, and had no information on postage. We got my wife's fingerprint cards already from the police service here in Davao. I also called the Philippine embassy in Thailand after the thai embassy forwarded me there.

Hi, My wife and i are in the process of applying for her Canadian visa, and trying to figure out just how to send off the thai police clearance application from Davao City in the Philippines (She's a native Filipino but stayed in Thailand for 8+ years). The thai police website just says to send...

Thank you for replying. I was wondering about the current typical times, rather than what the site happens to say the average is. Assuming an application is done fully, and properly. Interesting that you say I can't file online. My last bit of research says thats the easiest and fastest...

Hi, I'm a Canadian citizen. My wife and I are going to be filing for her pr visa soon, I'm wondering what the current processing time is like? I'm currently here in Davao visiting, but plan on filing online.

That is my main concern. Hopefully she has enough "ties". She doesn't have enough money to fund it however. There are reasons (she did have thousands of dollars saved up somewhat recently, but between trying to fund schooling in thailand and helping out family, and unfortunately, being...

So for example, as a filipino citizen, does she have the option of filing in manila for a permanent visa (when the time comes)? or is it only allowed if she's actually living there? I'd hope because its for a permanent visa and she's a citizen, they'd "allow it". That said, for the permanent...

Thanks, that's good to know. I've heard that (in the past at least) people would submit to a different office to take advantage of faster processing that that office. Maybe the rules changed and that doesn't work anymore? Eventually when we file for a permanent visa, I was really hoping to file...
