Hi sis! Tumawag nako sa cem call center to check my daughter's application. Nkalagay daw sa system nila in process,wait nlang daw namin ung aor/mr kase for review pa daw pagganun ang status.Feeling namin ni ynoweh napahiwalay ng vo ung sa eldest ko kya nagtagal.I also called bdo regarding our MC sabi dun sabay2 daw inencash ng CEM nung Jan.4. Sana nga sis dumating na MR ng eldest ko, 3weeks na din since makuha ko ung samin ni bunso. Araw2 nlang nagtatanong anak ko kng kelan dadating ung pang medical nya :(
Every delay has a purpose, though kung iisipin Visa nyo nalang sana ang hinihintay kaso naiwan pa si eldest! but look at the brighter side
sis nag-aaral pa sila diba, just live each day hwag mo masyado isipin bukas makalawa anjan na MR niya at soon lalabas nadin Visa nyong lahat! Cheer-up na sis! :)

hindi ka magkakaproblema regarding proof of funds sis, trust me. ibubuking ko na sarili ko: i submitted a bank certification para sa joint account namin ni misis... at nasa 33k lang laman nya, less pa nga yata eh ;D kasi we spent most of our savings sa wedding namin last october kaya naubos. wala na ako binigay ibang financial documents kasi wala naman nang iba. although ako lamg ang hiningan ng additional docs at pina-accomplish ng spousal questionnaire sa october batch, we can safely asume na dahil yun sa kaka-kasal lang namin...

Wow! Congrats sis! sabi ko na eh, good sign ang pagkaka-received ni kenj ng Visa last friday eto ngaun sunod sunod na tayong nakatanggap ng napakagandang blessing! :). Sarap ng feeling na natapos din sa wakas ang paghihintay. Daming next in line, ngaun palang mga sis planuhin at bilhin na ang need nyong bilhin unlike me ngayon super cramming, got a flight booking on Tuesday via PAL :) I wish & pray na lahat tayo makarating ng safe sa Canada, GOD will guide us for sure!:), soon magkikita kita nadin tayo :)

Sa mga mag-aapply palang we do hope na na-inspire kayo at madaming natutunan sa mga experiences naming mga nauna.

GOD bless us all!

Wow sis! Masmalupit pa pala ang booking mo ah... less than a week n lang,. mag-c-cram ka nga nyan...
How much yung ticket mo sis? Mamaya ko sasabihin kay hubby yung kukunin kong ticket sa friend ng mom ko (owner kasi sya ng isang travel agency).. $758 (Manila-Vanc ; Vanc-Edmonton)..Converted sa peso ($758x43.15....P 32,707.70).. And Feb10 Friday lang daw promo na yan.. PAL din direct flight...

Haay excited much! Pero dame ko pa inaasikaso na gusto ipa-red ribbon ni hubby eh... Ako naman ang nag-c-cram sa dame ng kelangan ko pa palang gawin.. Naipon nung waiting ng visa.. :(

@Nigella15, sis thanks sa mga input mo.. Grabe dame gusto ipa-red ribbon ni hubby.. TOR, diploma, COE's nya, birth cert, and marriage cert... si sis faithyou kasi naka-red ribbon daw yung birth cert and marriage cert nya.. yung TOR and diploma sabi nya basta authenticated ng school ok na daw yun.. yung sa COE's naman nya dapat nandun lahat ng duties and responsibilities.. Dame talaga...
Bahala na sa monday!.. Pagod ako kanina eh (just got home kasi from DFA..naka-red ribbon na yung License Cert ko! ;D )

Wow, congrats kapatid!!! So happy for you... God bless...

To those who are waiting : I'm sure we've learned a lot from the experiences of our sisters and brothers here... We're fortunate to have known the significant requirements for our application. Praises and glory to God... Our visa or AoR MR will be in our hands soon... sooner than we expect it to arrive... :) ;D

The battle isn't over yet..... 'til we get PR status and be able to get our parents and loved ones there.... We're all on the same boat. Keep in touch and let's continue to inspire one another... God bless everyone!!! :) ;) :D ;D

Sis patulong naman kasi nag-submit na ko ng application ng anak ko na lalaki last Jan 27. I mentioned in his cover letter that his TOR will be release anytime this 1st week of February. Ask ko lang kung need ko na ihulog sa AIR21 yung TOR nya kasi na-release na today? Paano po ba magpadala ng additional document at ano ilalagay sa envelope? kasi di ko na maalala yung reference number nya. Please help me or do I need to wait from them if they will ask me to submit the TOR?

Makikisagot po.

Sis, call the call center kasi kapag additional documents pinalagay lang kasi sakin is additional documents after "Spousal Open Work Permit" tapos call center ata magbibigay ulet ng number. Just not sure about it pero much better if you call. Ask if you need to indicate his UCI and application number dun sa TOR (kahit post-it lang).

Thank you Ailooney. I will the call center today. Kahit ba hindi pa nila hinihingi yung TOR ay pwede ko na ipadala? Kasi ang naka-attach sa documents nya ay cert. of grades at yung claim stub ng TOR, it was mentioned in his cover letter that TOR will be release on February. Baka expect nila talaga na ipadala ko TOR. And apply kasi ng anak separate from me and my daughter. Ang sa kanya ay Open Work Permit for dependent Child as pilot program of Alberta.

@ Milleth082008

Hi ! That is correct, you need to call the callcenter again to have the TOR picked up. My co worker's son got a denial dahil they chose to send the TOR via ordinary mail and hindi nakaabot sa CEM in time for the decision. I believe you were only given a limited time to be able to respond or complete the additional docs required. So dahil sa paghihinayag sa P350 for the Air21, denied due to lack of documents.
