REPOST KO LANG...REALLY WANT TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT MY SITUATION...THANKS EVERYBODY! ;D
Hello Everybody! Happy New Year! Im new in this forum and I have constantly been reading the thread and thought I'd join. I am in Canada under a work permit, I submitted complete docs and was received by Manila VO 11/15/10 - I have received an acknowledgement of receipt (2nd AOR) 12/28/10- (answered prayer!) and it mentioned a timeline of 6 to 12 months processing. From reading the thread it looks like most of the applicants are expecting a response within 3 months, so I am just wondering if this is just because I applied under FSW Category 3? or did everybody get the same timeline as 6-12 months? I am just worried as my work permit will expire by April 2011 and if that is the case looks like I am cutting it too short. any advice? I did not have my employer process another LMO/WP for me as I was expecting my application to be approved some time Apr-July 2011. If I leave the country before getting approval will this affect my application?If I would no longer be employed by a Canadian employer will this also affect my application? or is there an option where as long as an application is being processed, one could exit and re-enter the country? I am really sorry if I am asking too much, I would really appreciate getting thoughts from people I share the same journey with, so feel free to share your thoughts and the options you might know of to help me get thru this dilemma. thanks everybody! appreciate it!
