PPR ang next step na kapag approved tama? Yan yung passport request? Sorry, ngayon lang kasi ako nagbabasa basa ng forums dahil nasstress na ang beauty ko sa status ng application. 3 months na after ko magsubmit with iTA. eligibility review and medical review in process parin since last month. ganun ba talaga katagal?

Around 8k PHP per person sa St. Lukes BGC. Pwede ka maghanap sa cic website for accredited clinics. Additional 1300 for the MMR vaccine.

Pa follow up question po. Kelan po kailangan mag pa medical? Pag may ITA binigay automatic ba na mag papa medical na?

P.S. kung ~6 months po ang processing time nung visa, so far on track pa naman po ata submission nyo hehe. Yan napansin ko sa iba e...sobra tagal ng hinintay sa isang stage tapos sunod sunod na yung iba he he.

I believe may mas matagal pa nga sayo Pero kung wala naman ng aberya and they didn't request for any additional docs, PPR ka narin soon. yes passport request and ang start ng bilang ng months ay from AOR po not when you got your ITA. It is when they acknowledge the receipt of your application. Patience is the key po

You can do it upfront or wait for the request po from CIC. Sabi nila mas mabilis ang processing pag upfront including payment of your RPRF. 1 year naman ang validity ng medicals po.

Thank you! ang nakakastress kasi yung waiting without updates.
Hopefully, makakuha ng good news soon!

Sakin after ko na makakuha ng ITA, upfront yung ipapagawa sayo. I am not sure kung pwede wala pang ITA kasi nicoconntect ata nung clinic sa application yung medical. Nalaman ko lang to nung nagpamedical yung husband ko hindi daw mahanap ang application nya, ako kasi ang primary applicant.

 

[zen2x]

Yes. If may ITA na po saka po tayo pa-medical para sure po na pasok na. If wala naman po problem along the way (document requests and further clarification from CIC) sa tingin ko naman po ay magiging smooth na din ang processing. Good luck po!

Medyo matagal po pag standard mail. 10-14 days po. It really depends san ipapadala. Hirap pa po if standard mail, you have no way to track it. I suggest po magpa-courier ka nalang po. UPS po ang gamit ng WES eh. Yung sakin after 2 days nakuha ko na. Kahit mas mahal po konti mas may peace of mind ka naman kasi you can track it online. This is an important document po. Sayang po ang gastos if maaberya po. For security na din.

Naku, too late. They already mailed it out last June 2. May mga case po ba na hindi dumating pag standard mail? Manila lang naman po ako.

^ let's hope for the best po. Di ko po masagot yan kasi usually pag standard mail hindi binibigyan ng pansin sa post office. Kung baga walang hinahabol na deadline so kahit kelan na i-deliver. Sana po makarating naman ng maayos sa inyo.

Kung wala pa rin two weeks, mag request na lang uli ako from WES ng another copy to be couriered.

Thanks for the reply.

Can you suggest a good IELTS center here in Manila where I can take the exam? Are there any IELTS center here in which the examiner is an expat?

TIA!

I have one question regarding the status of our application. When I tried the "ECAS" I could not see my status. I have tried using UCI and the application number to no avail. Can somebody help me regarding "ECAS"? Thank you in advance.

 

[bellaluna]

^ ECAS does not work for Express Entry applicants. You have to refer to MyCIC. Even older, paper-based, and Quebec applications will be shifted to MyCIC later this year.

Why do you need an expat examiner? Just curious.
Anyway, I took both my tests at IDP Philippines. For the first, I got interviewed by an Australian guy who neutralized his accent during the test. For the second, it was a Filipino lady. I got the same marks for Speaking in both attempts--in any case, it's not the interviewing examiner who grades your recording.
For the written portions, I don't think there were any expats.

Ty po sa reply. Pwede pala upfront medical hehe...ang risk nga lang tumatakbo na oras ng validity nya. Baka kulangin yung 1 year considering antagal ng ITA ngayon dahil antaas ng cut off

Thank you for your input. I was afraid of the "crab mentality" thing that might strike but I guess not.
