Thanks Guzelyol for reply. I sent my application to Mississauga Ontario that was received April 16th/2012. my sponsor approval came in an email to me on July 4th/2012. I see here there is many people who have already received their first letter from Manila. even a friend of my wife's she received her is on September 21st/2012. our applications and sponsor approvals are only 5 days apart. my wife lives in Cebu,is there anyone else who is on this timeline and still has no letter from Manila.
Thanks.

I received my visa today! Well, my COPR.

It arrived in an enormous cardboard envelope with a lot of reading material and landing documents. I'm going to sit down to read it properly and call CIC in the morning to enquire about the possibility of landing at the Calgary CIC office.

So excited to finally see the end of this arduous process. I know I've been very fortunate to remain in Canada during processing, and can't imagine how difficult it would have been to wait overseas. Good luck to everybody still waiting, and please know that the moment you receive that massive cardboard envelope will be worth every painful second you've waited for it.

9 days for us to receive the passport back from Hong Kong!

Honestly, Hong Kong is an extremely professional visa office! Nothing but good things to say about them!! 6-months total including 3-months for the sponsorship approval! WOW!

So we are now officially finished!

Hope the rest of you receive good news very soon!!
