Hi guys im elayne from the philippines. i have some clarifications regarding the spousal work permit.
scenario: my boyfriend and I got married last May 5, 2011 and we got our NSO marriage certificate. and then May 21, 2011 the courier from Canadian embassy picked up my application and until now no mails or replies from the embassy.
1. Just wondering if im still in the right time line because based from what i have read in this forum i must have a reply already?
3 wks yung sakin pero i've read a lot of forums na and they had theirs mga 1 month pa.
2. do all spousal permit applications need to give evidences of the authenticity of the marriage? for example (videos,pictures,letters,remittances etc.)
this is just my opinion, pero tingin ko in your case.. yes you need to give evidences like the videos, pictures, etc. I was married 2 years before i applied but they asked me to pass those kasi my hubby was away then he went to the philippines just to marry me then after a month flew back to Canada.
3. My husband's work permit will expire on February 2012, is my application still possible to be approved?
You can apply for a spousal work permit as long as your husband's work permit is valid for 6 months or more.
4. may 5, 2011 was our wedding day and may 21, 2011 I passed the spousal application. is there any minimum months or years of marriage?
i don't know if there are any minimum months kasi my friend was married Sept and passed their application November. We just don't know what the visa officer would think kasi in your case two weeks palang kayo married. They will be giving you questionnaires asking if it's an arranged marriage, were you introduced by a third party organization (online dating sites), etc. Kasama sa questionnaire yung mga questions about your wedding, honeymoon, etc.
5. Where can I follow up my application? is it possible to ask about it in the call centre?
Do you have the tracking number? You can check it if it was received by the embassy. When you call the call center, they would only tell you if it's in process already. You can only e-mail the embassy kapag lampas na sa 8 wks estimated processing time.
Thank you in advance for your reply
