Anyways, cge na nga papicture na lang siya, sabi ko wag siya aalis dun sa photographer hanggat di saktong sakto ung dimensions.. ;D

Guys i'm starting to get really worried I couldn't sleep last night, looking at the spreadsheet it seems like everybody got their PPR letter sent 2-3 days after their file was received at manila..I remember our ecas status changed to "medical result received" on april 30th so that means they must have received our file at manila around that day and they should have sent our PPR letter around 1st week of May but until now my wife has not received anything :-(

is this normal? about how many days go by should we start to really worry that something is wrong with our app?

Has your wife checked with the post office already? You mentioned she is in Pangasinan so there will be a delay in the mail... She should go there and have them look out for a letter from Canadian Embassy for her because its urgent. Don't worry just yet, this also happened to some of the earlier guys in our batch, If I remember right, karlaF got her PPR later than the others..

hi Peli, not yet I'll tell her to go check today..Sarsicola's husband is also from Pangasinan and they got ppr already so we dont think its because of location..I'm extra worried because we also made a mistake on our schedule A form, we sent our a corrected form on May 11th about 10 days after CEM "should" have received our file..haay.. :-( do u what is their procedure on sending PPR's? do they read everything, do background check, all of that and then issue PPR or do they just check to make sure u have all required documents then send ppr?

thx for your quick reply Peli, i wouldn't know what we'd do if we didn't have you guys here in this forum..

Hi, yes sarsicola's hubby is from Pangasinan but her hubby is the sponsor.. read her posts again and you will see that she is the applicant and she actually lives in Manila(she mentioned that she works near robinsons galleria) , that's why she got her PPR in a few days =)

I think, and this is only my opinion, that they do the background checks and read the evidence after the PP has been received.... That's why the ecas status will change to IN PROCESS after applicants send their PP's and additional docs...

yes tell your wife to go to post office and have them be on a lookout... this is what many others did, including my hubby , who upon my advise, has been buttering up the mailmen in our condominium for a couple of weeks now, so they would be on a lookout for his letter and deliver it to him asap. He was about to go to the city post office this Friday but luckily he doesn't need to go na=)

Hi xrozz, pag nareceive mo yung PR mo, may naka-indicate ng UCI number mo dun. By that time mo lang pwede ma-access yung ecas mo. :)

Yung mga pictures, chat history sa YM and Skype, pati yung mga na-print screen namen na fb status ang naibalik. Pati din pala yung mga receipts from Western Union. :D Sana mabilis nalang yung sainyo Sis. Yung sa pinsan ni hubby mejo late ng naipasa yung PP nya sa CEM pero in less than 3 weeks, binalik na din yung PP nya. Sana kayo din ganun kabilis. :)
