heres our timeline:
nov 2009- applied cpc missisuaga
feb 2010- approved
march 30,2010 - manila embassy started processing
april 20th - received a letter asking for passport but the letter was dated march 30
may- asked fo addtl documents
june- no news
july 9- status changed to DM in e-cas


I was frustrated cause i thought the wait is done after processing the application in canada much to my frustration,i learned from cic that manila embassy will have to process it also for 6mos from march30 .so i assumed that august or september would be the big day.i did not have the slightest idea that the in process would change into DM until i read this forums last friday.. lets all pray for a courier at our doorstep the next day.. wooot

@FaithinGod,

MP is in canada, ask your sponsor to contact the MP near his area, it can be contacted tru email or phone. Tell them your situation and you're over 6mos already so the MP will be contacting the CIC-Manila and They will let you know what is happening..I'm sorry I dont have a link of list of MP in Canada but my husband has a friend working in government and just contact his MP thru his friend. So try ask your sponsor, for sure he knows :) Goodluck!

God bless us all!

yes DHL ang nagdedeliver (or like in my case their affiliate WWW Express). Authorization plus a valid ID would do if you will not be in your place if youR passport is delivered (just like I did). You can just wait for it to be delivered.

To all DM last July 1, 2010, THIS WEEK IS YOUR WEEK!!!

CONGRATULATIONS................

Citizen na kasi ung wife ko sa Canada, so no need to take PDOS, Guidance and Counseling lang ang required. Un din ang sabi mismo ng SMEF-COW nung nag seminar ako last week.

If you go to nationwide early in the morning(I went there at 7:15am), usually around 2 1/2hours or less. I know it is okay to drink, but I'm not quite sure if it's okay to eat before the medical. Just to be sure, your last meal would be 8-10hrs before your medical.
