hi Lizz,

I was thinking of that too.. my husband kasi lived in Ghana, West Africa before he came here sa Pinas. Maybe CEM is making the security checks and verifying the police clearances we submitted. I called the post office and my agency and no letter pa rin.. Sana next week dumating ang good news :)

To Everyone,

kelan pala magstart ang validity ng Visa na maiissue sa atin? Does it start upon the medical request or upon the submission of the medicals? Kelan nyo balak pumunta ng Canada?


lizz said:
baka naman sis may chineck pa ang cem sa docs mo, nakapag travel ka ba abroad? kasi once dumating sa vo they are doing security checks, yun nga mga pcc, baka nagverify pa cla ng mga pcc mo, nabasa ko kasi before na medyo may delay daw pag ganun, check mo din email mo baka may need din sila for additional documents kaya di pa sila makapag issue ng MR, pero don't worry, eligible ka na, may kelangan pa siguro sila sayo, like nung kay purplegrey wala munang mr since may additional info sya for the new baby

ah so yun nga check pa sila ng pcc nyo

I'm not sure pero parang nabasa ko na visa validity starts from the date when the last med results was received by CEM, its the last date kasi minsan huli yung ibang family members sa pagforward kahit na nauna yung principal applicant, start counting pa rin daw on the last date

and usually naman daw pag may delay nag iissue sila ng visa not less than 6 months on its validity since that is the time they give us for preparation in leaving pinas

yun lang nangyari last oct last year, pero sa atin since its early time of the year pa naman, so baka 2 weeks after ppr, visa na di ba tulad nung last year din

tingin ko sa nakapa medical this Feb, around april to may darating visa nila

I just want to make a rant about IELTS. For me, both Acad and GT are the same. Its just a money making scheme. Yung score ko bumaba lang ng .5 sa listening and tumaas ng .5 sa speaking. Both reading and writting ko same (acad and GT). And they say that the difference between the two is reading and writting task 1. Point ko, kung talagang merong difference yung dalawa, dapat iba rin ang listening and speaking sessions or questions. Personal ko lang na opinyun ito ha, dapat talaga tinanggap na rin nila yung academic ko, since ang purpose lang naman talaga ng IELTS eh para may independent body na mageevaluate ng english knowledge ng isang immigrante. Kasi, before naman sila lang ang neageevaluate thru written explanation and interview. Haaaaayyyy!!! La lang, naglabas lang ako ng sama ng loob ko. Pasensya na po.

okay naman ho doc na ilabas natin sama ng loob nakakatulong, otherwise maistress po tayo ng todo ;D yeah, tama ho kayo, sana in accept din nila acad, mas mahirap nga daw ho to compared sa gt di ba? e kung mas mataas score sa acad, e di ibig sabihin mas magaling sa english ;D ;D ;D i'm sure di lang naman ho kayo ang me sentiments like that, but the most important thing right now ay ung na comply niyo na rin po reqmts, way to go ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I understand what you feel,Doc.Dapat accepted yon Acad para nman,I can hit 3 birds
in one stone.Since we talk about ielts,I remember before,na hirapan tlga ako magdecided kung magGT or Acad,kung mag Acad ako,mgagamit ko sa iba.However,So far,i am on the right track nman kahit magastos,wlang choice.Starting next week,at least,ma busy nman ako for Acad.Masyado pa nman akong mahina sa graph at flow chart!
:(
goodluck on ur test...it would help if u memorize ung connecting words like however, before, after, meanwhile, etc saka mga samples ng graph at flow chart.

when i was attending the review for ielts at niners meron kaming topic abt money (writing). i couldn't believe my luck, sa exam itself iyon ung topic! buti na lang na alala ko pa ung sinulat ko sa practice kaya it really helped hehehe ;D ;D ;D ;D

When ka po nag apply? kasi sabi mo niwithdraw mo application mo last Aug?

If ever kasi di pa na encash bd mo, usually you didn't pass the initial stage which is the completeness check, iniencash lang kasi nila yun if your docs will proceed to 2nd stage which is eligibility review
so if ever di ka pumasa sa completeness check, they will return your docs asap

and then you submit an application last dec with acad ielts, we have someone here na nireturn docs nya since dec na sya nagsubmit same as yours and on that month exactly na impose na NO GEN IELTS

so for sure on the way na docs mo, pero to confirm, you can email them here:
FSW-Sydney-Search-Enquiry@cic.gc.ca

ask for the status and they will inform you with the returned date as well

but if open pa noc mo, try to apply asap, you can still make it since pabilis na processing ngayun

capricorn,

nung sinumbit mo ba yung 1st application mo na ngayun ay nareturn, how many copies of the additional family information did you submit? did you submit 3 forms ba or yung sa PA lang nga form?

the reason I ask this is that when I submitted our application before, I only submitted one copy of the additional family information which is for the PA only & in the letter I received from the CIO when it was returned, they did not coment or say incomplete with regards to my Additional Family Information form. The reason our application was returned because of the Schedule 1 Bacground/Declaration form which they said was incomplete. My spouse is supposed to accomplish the sked 1 form also but nothing did they say about family information form.

It was only here in the forum that I got to know that the Additional Family Information has to be filled up also by the spouse. That is why I was asking our forum mates regarding this one. Confusing talaga CIO.

Ikaw capricorn, in your initial application, did you already submit 3 froms in the additional family information? Did the CIO say something about this form aside from the minor mistakes that you've committed?

Thanks.
