bakit kaya reason yung validity ng WP eh sila naman nagpapatagal ng process. tsaka hindi sila consistent. may naaapprove naman na kahit isang buwan nalang natitira sa validity. pano kaya makakapag reklamo sa kanila ano?

Kaya nga sis wala man lang sabi-sabi naghihigpit kaagad... sana nagpalabas man lang sila ng announcement na ganoon na nga dapat 5-6 months na ang processing then dapat pasok pa ddon 'yung not less than 6 months na validity ng WP para at least aware tayo... sana kinonsider na lang nila 'yung nakapag-submit na ng application. Kaya sa mag submit pa ng application dapat more than 1 year pa 'yung validity ng WP, paano na lang 'yung tig 1 year lang ang inissue na WP ? Ang labo nila...

Nagka error 'yung link na ibinigay ko... ito po 'yun

On August 15, 2011, the program was significantly expanded in British Columbia under a Pilot Project that will last until February 15, 2013. Spouses and common-law partners of temporary foreign workers engaged in NOC C and D skill categories are now eligible to obtain open work permits.

According to OB 337, Applicants must meet the following criteria:

The applicant must be a spouse or common-law partner, or a dependent child, of a principal applicant described in sub-section ii below.
The principal foreign worker must have been issued an employer-specific work permit that is valid for at least six months for an employer located in BC.
Dependent children must be aged 18-22 at the date of application, and eligible to work in BC.
Family members of seasonal agricultural workers (including the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program participants), Live-in-Caregivers (including non-LCP live-in caregivers) and temporary foreign workers in BC who have work permits issued under the International Experience Canada Program are NOT eligible for open WPs under this pilot.

A maximum of 1,800 work permits will be issued under the pilot project.

Shared information and/or details will be highly appreciated. Thank you so much.

My timeline is:
July 13, 2012 - pick up date of application
July 31, 2012 - medical request received
August 13, 2012 - medical exam done (Baguio City)
September 10, 2012 - medical papers sent to Manila (according to the clinic where I had my medical exam)
Present... - still waiting for news or info from the embassy

5-6 months po ang processing ngayon ng SOWP based doon sa timeline ng page ng mga spousal applicants. So far po may mga May 2012 pa po na hanggang ngayon nag-aantay pa rin ng decision sa application nila pero may mga June applicants na po na naka recvd na nga result. Wait lang po konti at baka next month mag-uumpisa na pong magsidatingan para sa mga July applicants (hopefully po). Sa Tingin ko naman nasa CEM talaga 'yung docs mo kasi naka recvd na naman ng AOR at MR po... Pray lang po na sana bumilis-bilis ang processing ;D

@ jeanmichille:

Hi...
Thank you so much for the reply and info.
Haay... Ganun ba...? So I guess they changed the processing times...
I just hope our long awaited visas are coming soon...
Sana nga maging maagang pamasko yung visa nating lahat.
Sana nga dumating na yung hinihintay natin...

God is good and in His time, everything happens with a reason - with a purpose...
Kaya ipagdasal at magtiwala na lang tayo sa Kanya... Ü
