Hello po uli! Does anybody here know any translator(accredited by Canadian Embassy)?Yung land title pala ng lot ng parents ko ay in Filipino ..need ba talaga itranslate pa ito?pls help!

Yup. Pwede mo lang gawin yung upfront medicals niyo sa SLEC Ermita kasi nung una na pumunta ako sa SLEC Global, hindi sila pumayag. Kailangan na may utos na ng embassy na magpa-medical. Sabihin niyo lang na "Upfront Medical' gagawin niyo at wala pa kayo g filiing number. Prepare lang kayo ng 5,000 plus for the medical (di na ako sure sa exact amount eh) pero if nurse kayo, may tattoo (kagaya ko) at may second piercing sa tenga, mag-aadd kayo ng 2,800 plus (di ko rim sure ung excat price na) Basta in total, ang binayaran ko mga almost 8K din. Mabuti-buti na rin yun kesa kung magpapa-medical ka kun ppunta ng US kasi 10,000 plus pa talaga yung sa kanila. Nakakalul? Ang mahal pala talaga magp-medical! Hindi biro. E galing pa naman ako ng Bacolod, so effort talaga pero worth it naman. Hinhintay ko na lang visa ko. ;D

Mas maganda talaga pmedical na before mag-apply kasi in case na may makita sa inyo na d maganda sa result (Huwag naman sana) may time pa kayo para maayos. Kasi ang sa nabasa ko, kung me problema sa baga, it can delay your application minimum of 2 months to 6.

Tsaka, di na kayo magkakanda-ugaga na hintayin pa kun kelan nila issubmit yun sa embassy. Kasi yung nga sa akin, almost 1 month bago nila pinadala. Di ko alam bakit ganun katagal pero buti na lang at nauna na yung medicals ko.

Valid for 1 year pa naman yung medical results niyo eh. Tip ko lang, wag kayong pumunta ng Monday to Tuesday kasi super siksikan ng mga tao dun. Thursday ako nakapunta dun and medyo OK lang yung magpapamedical. Natapos ko din in 1 day.

Goodluck sa atin lahat! Kaya natin to. Aja! :-* ;D

Yes, I applied paper-based through VFS Makati. I am not sure sa online kasi eh.. I included my passport when I submitted the requirements. Baka ok na yung visa mo. =) Ito na yata yung Letter of Introduction I have to show sa POE. Maybe you'll get an email when they receive your passport.

Hi! May I ask kung ano ang content ng letter of explanation mo? I am submitting for my daughter, I am not sure what to say para ma convince ang visa officer. Thank you so much!

Kun January ka pa, I suggest 4 months before your school starts ka na mag-apply. Kasi by batch ang inaasikaso ng embassy. (Sa pagkaka-alam ko). Kasi per school sem ang batches nila. So kahit mag-apply ka ngayon, matagal-tagal din hihintayin mo. Di ka naman makakapasok ng Canada kahit may visa ka na. Atleast 30 days ata before your school year start ka eligible na makapol dun. Haharangan ka ng immigration.

Hi,

I'm a student in Manitoba. I have applied for a temporary resident visa (re-entry visa) in order to go back home briefly for family purposes and to renew my passport, so I can renew my study permit. My passport expires on june 30th and my study permit expires the same day because of that. I have applied for a TRV and I added a letter of explanation that included my status letter from my university and my transcript.

I applied on the 23rd of APril, 2014, on May 16th the cic page said they are working on Applications from April 30th 2014 but I haven't gotten a reply. I called a call centre agent who told me my application was sent to Los Angeles VAC. PLease what does this mean?

Someone please help me. Kind regards

Have you asked them also regarding the status of your application when you called? I am just curious, matagal ka na sa Manitoba? Which University are you in?

Hello Cajote,

Normally, 15 days ang respond time nila for online application. Wala ka bang natanggap na acknowledgement letter man lang sa CIC Log In mo na natanggap na nila ung application? Automatically kasi niyan meron ka na agad application number pagka-lodge mo online. Meron ka ba nun?

Nakapa-medical ka na ba? Kasi yung iba dito sa atin, after a week or so, may request na. Pwede po ba na makicheck niyo ulit kun nalodge niyo succesfully yung papers niyo. Kasi baka may glitch sa system nun at di nasend or something.

Pero kung wala talaga, tawagan mo na lang sila. Para atleast di ka na magwowory sa kahihintay.
