Hello! Sharing po...

SOWP Applicant (separate) :
P800 - application processing
P310 - courier delivery
P75 - SMS notifications (sabi po any update makakareceive ka ng SMS)
---------------
P1,185
Study permit (separate)

P310 - courier delivery
--------------
P1,110
Bale po 4 managers check ang sinumbit ko. Tig-2 po kami ng anak ko: 1 check payable to Embassy of Canada, 1 check payable to VFS.
Timeline:
July 15 - docs delivered to VFS
July 16 - I called VFS, VFS informed me for additional docs: Custodian Declaration, Proof of Fund, Letter of Acceptance. I explained about letter of acceptance, naka-state po sa website ng CEM na:
•Primary and secondary school (age 6-18): open study permit required. You do not require an acceptance letter from the child's school in Canada. Please note: children accompanying parents who are visitors in Canada (ie. they do not have a study or work permit) are not eligible for an open study permit..
Ang sabi po sa akin di bale na yung letter of acceptance yung dalawang docs na lang.
July 22 - additional docs (I added a cover letter) delivered to VFS, at 7pm I received an SMS notifying me that my application has been forwarded to the Canada Visa Office, tracking number also provided.
Para po sa mga naghihintay ng visa: It is never too late or too soon. It is when it is supposed to be. There is always a plan. God is too wise to be mistaken. Lagi pong tandaan ang Jeremiah 29:11.
