Hello Everyone!!
I really need an advice..I hope someone will reply .Please help.
I have sponsored my children and sponsorship application was approved.
CIC Manila received their application for Permanent Residents last Dec 18, 2012.
I am currently in the Philippines and I wanted my kids to be with us in Vancouver...so I applied for their tourist visa knowing that waiting time for their immigrant visa will take time...
6 days after I submitted their application for tourist visa , I received email from the embassy requesting for their passports for the processing of their immigrant visa...
It took almost one month for their tourist visa application to be approved. Now I have their passports with approved tourist visa..My problem is that I am now going back to Vancouver and I wanted my kids to be with me...We can leave anytime with their tourist visa but my concern is this.....Can I mail back their passports from Vancouver to Embassy of Canada-Manila? How long will it take to have their immigrant visa? I know there is no definite waiting time.... i just want to know also if it is much better if my kids are with me in Vancouver while waiting for their immigrant visa..Their tourist visa is only valid for 6 months( Valid until December 2013).
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me.
