Hi jpalumbarit75,

nag spousal work permit din ako kasi hindi pa nag apply ng PR yung husband ko. 4th year na nya this year sa same employer nya. Since hindi naman sya nasponsor or anything at kaka-skilled worker lang nya last november.. kaya tsaka palang ako nag apply ng spousal work permit. May requirement ang spousal... dapat yung work ng husband mo is under NOC O, A or B ata. Punta ka sa website ng embassy makikita mo naman dun sa frequently asked questions. Hindi ko lang kasi kabisado. Pero yun ang basic requirement. About sa canadian friend na issponsor sya.. yun hindi ko alam eh. kasi may money involved dun sa side ng friend nya. baka may makasagot dito sayo. balitaan mo nalang kami.

@ailooney,

sori di kita mareply sa PM, di ako allowed to create PM. baka need ko pa magpost ng marami.

 

[ailooney]

@ micaela, thanks for your reply. Naghahanap kasi ako ng kapareho kong naghihintay. hindi ko kasi expected na ganito katagal. Kapag may kids siguro hindi na hinihingan ng questionnaire and proof of relationship through pictures. kami kasi hiningan.

Timeline ko:

Jan. 17, 2011 - pick-up of application by courier
feb. 9, 2011 - acknowledgment of receipt (AOR) + medical instructions
feb. 12, 2011 - had my medical exam
feb. 24, 2011 - received spouse/partner questionnaire
Mar. 7, 2011 - sent answers to questionnaire + letter + additional documents (insurance policies, SSS, etc)
April
May - waiting....

Sana dumating na mga visa natin. Mag update ka dito ha pag nareceive mo na yung visa mo. Salamat! God bless....

hello!

this is from my note on fb: read on....

It has been 4 months and a week of waiting for my visa since I sent my application Jan. 17, 2011. I was expecting it last March because the Canadian Embassy said so in their website that it will approximately take 8 wks. Kaya lang I had this delay because they had to verify my relationship with hubby was not just a mail-to-order bride thing. HaHaHa. They had me send pictures, video, cards, etc. I sent it last March 7, 2011. I was getting worried and frustrated because I was expecting it soon after that submission. I finally got to e-mail the Canadian Embassy to follow-up on my application (May 7).

And during the long wait....I had an urge to declare in my fb status.


Lord, i am hoping that this is the day. Because this is THE day that You hve made. I will rejoice and be glad!!! Woo hoo... Faith come on!

This is the day that i got an e-mail response. How many papers more are on queue anyway? Ok moving forward..
May 19 at 5:53pm via iPhone

The embassy replied to my follow-up e-mail and said that my papers are queued for review. should they need clarifications blah blah blah....

I looked at my VISA and saw "Date of issue 19/05/2011"

Then....

I will rejoice and be glad!
Thursday at 1:50pm ------>May 26

In my Open Work Permit letter I see the date it was written: "May 26, 2011"

Yesterday, I declared it. "I'm going to get my visa today" when a package arrived at my office an hour later! The delivery man told me to go to QC today so he could give the package to me personally. And then there it was when I opened it. My visa. Parang panaginip

God has been with me and my hubby all along. God is truly awesome!!! Kahit medyo kabado ako kahapon kung ano makikita ko sa loob ng package.. i know in my heart... it's His will for me to be with my husband.

@ ailooney,
God really works in his most wonderful ways...CONGRATS!!!so kelan possible flight mo? ang saya naman you'll be w/ ur hubby na...what are the instructions nun CEM? will you be required to attend PDOS? what are the docs na ipepresent mo sa NAIA? enough na raw ba yun copies ng OEC ni husband mo. LMO, & work permit? ;D ;D ;D

 

[ailooney]

@ faithyou, I was so relieved talaga.

about the PDOS.. alam ko wala na. May nakita akong thread dito before eh na wala nang dadalhin. Actually ang ipapakita lang sa immigration is yung letter ng embassy. Para ma-issue ang open work permit. Kasi visa lang talaga ang nakalagay sa passport ko. then yung letter ng CEM nga nakalagay dun na ippresent sa immigration sa Vancouver.

Yung friend ko na pumunta this March.. sabi nya pumunta pa sya POEA tapos binigyan daw sya ng papel ng record ng asawa nya dun pero hindi daw kailangan. Tpos nagbayad sya ng travel tax sa DOT (dept. of Tourism ata ito?) which is pde ding hindi kasi pde din naman magbayad nun sa airport basta agahan lang.

Wala pa akong sched ng flight. Nappraning pa ako sa dami ng dapat gawin and gusto namin makaalis na ako before june 11.
