CEM work permit (feb., mar., apr., and may) 2012 Timeline

[ventocoseuss]

ang sabi ng iba dito usually january and february ang pinakamalamig..umaabot daw ng -40 degrees..imagine that hehe..so far ang naranasan pa lang namin ay -25 degree C at mahirap na yun sa pakiramdam..anyway bagong dating pa lang kami nun at yung jacket namin ay di makapal..just bring winter clothes and you'll be fine..

lamig nga dyan...buti dito sa vancouver hindi ganun kalamig..siguro ung pinakamalamig na experience ko -1 degree C, ung malamig ung wind chill... pero ulan naman ng ulan dito hehehe.

@ Jdjianna

Ang intindi ko po dito ay si CEM ang nagverify sa HR (current company) ni Seaciel. Part po ito ng background na ginagawa ng CEM regarding sa ating COE na pinasa.

Meron ditong mga forum members na binigay yung number and email add ng CEM para si employer ang magfollow up. Wala po akong balita kung naging successful sila.

Ay ok salamat Cabalen.

Nakakatense na kasi, feeling ko super inip na sila sa process natin. Di sila nag rereply sa email ko last week. Or maybe, they are just waiting for the visa na mismo kaya dedma sa mga email at chat ko.

@ Jdjianna

I know the feeling. Ganyan din ako sa employer ko. Sabi 3 months lang may visa. Kasi yung trend nuon ay 3 months lang. E di nagset kami ng start date of work ng Oct. 1, 2012. Nung September lagi ko silang inuupdate na wala po at lagi din sila nagtatatanong. Hanggang na move yung arrival date ko ng Nov. 2012. E wala pa din ako update sa CEM buong October sabi ko magfofollow up. Pero sila di sila nagrereply sa email ko. Wala naman akong good news din siguro kasi. Sinasabi ko naman sa kanila na nagisismula na bigyan ang June tapos July batch na (July batch ako). Sabi ko din madami na nabibigyan ng July at malapit na ko. Pero di sila nagrereply.

Actually nung nakuha ko na yung visa ko at inemail ko sila hindi pa din sila nagreply at nagworry. Tumuwag pa ako sa Canada to confirm kasi magreresign na ako sa work. Buti naman at go pa din sila.

Just pray na maging mabilis processing ng visa mo at bigyan ng patience si employer. Sabi sa PDOS kanina, ang mga Canadian daw ay mahaba pasyensya.

Cabalen,

Maraming salamat. Na enlighten din ako salamat ng marami talaga. Ako kasi wala na ko work eh, sa case ko puede naman ako balik sa work ko dati. Pero dream ko talaga un Canada for me ang my family. Naumpisahan ko na ito, alam ko ibibigay sa akin ni Lord ito.Nahihiya na ko sa employer at na te tense din na baka di na sila go sa akin. Pero imposible naman na di nila ako i hire di ba? Kasi me contract kami na nasign. Ayoko mag worry pero nag start na ko talga mag worry, sa pag alis ko nakadepende un pag kuha ko sa mga kids ko. Sana makaalis na ko, gusto ko sila makuha agad.

Thanks,

Canadian Embassy Manila Processing Delay | Jason Kenney, Help!
SATURDAY, APRIL 02, 2011
So you are now in the final stage of your application. The Canadian Visa Office Manila requested your original passport for visa stamping and you were told that it will be issued within 90 days. But it's almost 6 months now and you're still waiting. Is there a reason to worry? What should you do?

For some reason, Canadian Embassy Manila is super delayed in processing the applications and appears to be disorganized. There are those who submitted original passports for visa stamping since October 2010 and are still waiting for visa. These are applicants who have done their medical examination, paid the right of permanent resident fee and were advised to submit original passports for visa stamping. You would think that it's because of the volume of the applications they process. But there are those who have just submitted their passports and received the visa within a couple of months. Clearly, it's not just about the volume. Something is not right.

But as an applicant, you can't do anything but wait. Yes, you can make a follow up after the prescribed processing period lapsed. Your representative can make a follow up for you, and we are doing that. But most often than not, you will simply recieve a generic email like this:

This is in reply to the fax we received regarding the current status of your application.

Please be informed that your application is currently queued for review. We will advise you in writing if there are important updates regarding your application or if additional information and/or documents will be required.

In the meantime, your patience is appreciated as we continue processing your application.

Sincerely,

Federal Skilled Worker Unit
Immigration Section, Manila

Now, the question is how often can you make a follow up? Can you do it weekly?
Of course, you can send them even a daily follow up letter via mail, fax and email. But will it help speed up the process? No.
In making a follow up, chose only one form of communication (mail, fax and email). Do not send multiple copies. Successive follow up of the same will not help either. If fact, it may just add up delay in the processing. There is a limited manpower at the embassy and if you make successive multiple follow ups, they may just end up opening your letters and stop processing the applications. Please be reasonable. But I'm with you. It is not right to make you wait unnecessarily.

What's the worst scenario?
Well, if your medical examination results lapsed (good only for one year) and you still haven't got your visa, you may then be required again to undergo another medical examination.
You don't want that, of course.
If you have relatives in Canada, you may also want to ask them to write their Member of Parliament and complain about this delay. Let their MP's write the Canadian Visa Office in Manila. Or better yet, send a letter to the Immigration Minister and complain about this delay. You were promised 6-12 months processing from the time your application is received. Not from the time your passports are received for visa stamping. That is simply unacceptable.

Here's how to contact the Hon. Jason Kenney, Citizenship and Immigration Canada Minister:

Constituency Office: Ottawa Office:

1168 137 Ave SE 325 East Block
Calgary, AB House of Commons
T2J 6T6 Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6
P. 403-225-3480 P. 613-992-2235
F. 403-225-3504 F. 613-992-1920

Email:
kennej@parl.gc.ca

So there. It's either you just wait and accept that you may undergo another medical examination or do something to get your application processed without delay.
Quoted from http://www.gatewaytocanada.com/2011/04/canadian-embassy-manila-processing.html

"I think this will suits more to the Permanent Resident Category but there are some points that applicable to us. If you want to call them I think you need to prepare some bucks."

Or you can relax, pray and cheers!

Question po sa mga nagkavisa na. 2 years po validity ng LMO ko pero 1 year visa lang ang binigay sa akin..Pero yung mag ina ko 2 years validity ang binigay. Tama ba to o nagkamali ang CEM.

 

[ragluf]

What is your passport expiry date? Typically visa/WP validity dates do not extend beyond the validity date of your current passport. As your LMO is valid for 2 years, you can always extend your WP when you are already in Canada, just make sure your passport is valid beyond your LMO date.

/hope this helps...
