Personally affected ka ba, like may damage tlga sa bahay etc? Ako kasi I'm from Iloilo, which is also affected. Signal no 4. Pero wala masyadong damage samin sa city. Sa northern part lng. Wala pa rin kasi akong update from the embassy. Yung ecas ko, "We have received your application last June 13" pa rin. Kahit medicals ko nga, di nakaupdate. I'm worried na baka nawala nila yung application namin.
Do I email them ba? Or wait nalng ako ng tawag nila or email?

Alam mo I suggest you send them an email using this address: manil.immigration @ international.gc.ca
They will probably send you one or two generic letter at first to say that they are in receipt of your email and blah blah blah but the 3rd email will be more specific to your case and it will probably take just a couple of days and they will email you back.
Sa subject line mo lagay mo: UCI # then your number of course and then add, affected by Typhoon
On the message it self, include as much information that you can para mabilis mahanap application mo, such as:
Sponsors Name:
DOB:
UCI #:
Applicant's Name:
DOB:
File Number: (if you know the applicant's file number)
Then message them that the applicant was affected by the typhoon and you are asking them to consider an expedited process for the applicants application.
It's better if the sponsor is the one that emails CEM. It also wouldn't hurt if yung sponsor mag email sa local MP with the same information na isesend sa CEM.
I hope this helps!
Make sure to email and I am sure they will look at your application. They are prioritizing applicants that are affected by the typhoon.
Good luck
I should add:
The first email that you will get will probably look like this:

If you have sent us this email to report important changes regarding your application, we will add this information to your file.

2nd email will probably look like this:
Dear Applicant,
This refers to your recent request regarding priority processing of your application in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda).
We sympathize with the people of the Philippines affected by this terrible disaster. Canada's response to the typhoon includes immigration measures which prioritize the processing of applications from people who self-identify as being significantly and personally affected. Significantly and personally affected persons are those in the affected areas who have lost family members, property and livelihood due to the typhoon.
The information you presented with your request for priority processing, as well as the information contained in your application, has been reviewed by an officer. Based on that review, our office is not in the position to prioritize the processing of your application, at this time.
Your application has been placed in the queue for regular processing and will continue to be actioned as per established procedures. You may view average processing times for applications in the category in which you submitted on our website at: http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/philippines/visas/processing-traitement.aspx.
Yours sincerely,
