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
 
Hi Jhen1120 & Sandy78,

Thank you so much for your advice.. i really appreciate it...
By the way, where do i find an MP? I will also try to fax CIC manila. Do you think they will respond? Thank you again and God Bless us all.....
 
@jhen1120
yes am in spousal visa... please help me where do i find an MP... Am from cebu...Thank you again...

God bless us all...
 
@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!
 
DHL ba tlga ang magpapadala ng passport ko? kasi sinend ko sya thru LBC ask ko lng kng magkano at kng ano ang hihingin sakin or incase wala ako kng ideliver ang passport ko pwede bang authorization letter na lng? ask ko na din kng tlga bang ipapadala nla or pwedeng pa pickup sau may nabasa kasi ako pinapickup daw may nakaexperience na ba nito tnx sa lahat decision made last july 1 sana dumating na ASAP
 
@ rabbit_chico

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................
 
@ianpogi

Do you think that it'll be delivered this week?! Ang hirap kc maghintay.. But we can always keep our fingers crossed!

Goodluck to us all.

Patience patience patience! It'll be all worth it.

GODBLESS!
 
Hoping it will arrive this week. I already have a ticket dated July 26. I'm searching for the closest DHL branch in our place but i can't find one.

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.
