AUGUST 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

[crazy D]

This has happened a few times already. I am not sure why someone would play around with the spreadsheet. Last Tuesday, there were only 5 entries on the sheet. I was frustrated and wanted to lock it. I think it it happens again, I would only give access to August applicants who work on the sheet and the rest of the people can only view it.

That's maybe a good idea, I do sometimes view our spreadsheets just to see updates with other august app, and what to expect when it comes to ave waiting time.

Cheers !

I can't stay home (or at the office) without it...;-)

Seriously, it is such a valuable tool.

Absolutely! Are you the one who created it? If not, do you know who did? It has been a valuable tool for me. Very frustrating.

Yes, I created it and I've tried to maintain it as much as I could. I copied the June sheet and modified it a little bit. If it happens again, I will definitely remove the access unless people request it, in that case we know who is working on it. The problem is, this has happened a few times and it's just not acceptable. In my opinion, it helps us and other people to have an idea about the average time and what to expect from their visa office.

I think I can speak on behalf of all of us when I say THANK YOU for your efforts. Its so valuable!

I received my AOR1, SA and AOR2 and had sent my application on August 17th.

My VO is Manila like yours. I haven't heard anything since September 20th.

Getting figiddy ;D

That's the hardest part of waiting... I am not expecting any update as of this moment. I am in the process of gathering some documents requested from the list of AOR2, almost complete just waiting for my AOR, requested it Monday of last week and so unfortunate that its a long, very long weekend in the PH. So, will be able to get it Wednesday! then probably send them on Thursday! Good luck at Mabuhay.

Hi BC-girl
The check list is what I meant. It listened that you need a police clearance for immigration purposes to Canada. I was told to scan the check list and the remain required documents, like passport copy, ect ect and sent it by email to covog along side the receipt that I had paid for their server. I received two copies. One was sent to Australia but would not be on time for me to submit with my application then I called covog and explained the situation. I was then advised to have my police check sent to my brother in NL so he could send it with a courier to Canada. I had it within 2 working days and eventually the one sent to Australia also arrived on time so I have a spare police check.

Excellent, thank you claudi12! I'll try it and see what happens

I decided not to open my email, MY CIC and ecas for 4 days (because it was a long weekend in the Phil). I thought I would get a surprise when I open those after our long weekend here in the Philippines but I was wrong. Still no update. *Sigh*

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone with experience advise on this?

I am a student in Canada and may qualify for postgraduate work permit after completion early next year. I have a Canadian wife with kids (our own kids). I am contemplating of applying through the outland sponsorship (Accra Visa Office) instead of inland since the former is faster. However, I would like to know whether it will affect my postgraduate work permit application? And assuming interview is waived for the PR application, do I have to travel to the Accra visa office to get pr visa or I can receive pr card when it's approved while in Canada? Thank you for your clarification.

It should not effect your work permit as per my understanding.

you do not need to travel to your home country.

It has been so helpful! I was able to predict exactly when I would get SA because of it!

I'm sure you already know this but you can easily go to File -> See Revision history to restore any version of the document after any changes have been made to undo anyone's malicious efforts! It takes no longer than 5 seconds to restore an older version of the document before people messed with it.

I had a hard time too. My suggestion is to use the application number, last name, place of birth, and when it asks how many ppl are on the application say "2". Hopefully that works, it has been a while since I did it. Good luck!

Hi! For the last name and place of birth - is this the info of the sponsor or the applicant (sponsored spouse)?

Thanks!
