Peli Peli!! my wife got her PPR today! yes!!! you were right, it just took longer because she lives in the province! we're sooo happy! the letter was dated May 7 and our file was received at CEM on May 2nd.

the letter ask for pictures but doesn't say how many, do you know how many pix she needs to send? are they like the immigration photo sizes?

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 Pen! sorry for the confusion but i am the applicant and i live in madnaluyong city, very near makati where the embassy is located that is why its quite fast to deliver. congratulations pen and to your wife.

hi Pen, our ppr letter does not also state how many pictures to send but i sent them 12 pcs which i think is enough. for the size, there is one page included in the letter for instructions on the dimensions of the picture. in my case, it is the same with the immigration pictures while for Peli Peli, i think in their case its different.


congrats again!

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. :)
@ xrozz, nakakaaccess na si hubby sa ecas using his UCI the day na narcv nya ung PPR
@ karlaf, sana nga, para mkahabaol si hubby ng July dito.. Canada day at 100 yrs ng stampede =) and of course bday ko =)

Btw, dba mgkakaroon din tyo ng sariling ecas as applicant? When tyo pwede mka access nun?
try mo na din kahit wala pang ppr pero instead of the UCI number, use the Applciation number then type mo yung detail mos (last name, bday etc..) ginawa ko dati before lumabas lang name ko then in process lang nakalagay.

dadating na din yung sayo xrozz, dont worry :D

Hi. Try to check your ecas po kung may update na dun. And from tthere, magkakaidea ka kung ano na ngyayare sa passport mo. Pero never call CEM regarding your passport kasi madedelay yung mag-issue ng visa mo.

In my case, nagkaron ng home address ng hubby ko sa Canada yung ecas ko. It's a good sign kasi ibig sabihin na-issue na yung visa ko.Some cases naman may nakalagay na IN PROCESS.

Tama in my experience din ganun din ung address ko na change into my husband's address and then nkalagay IN PROCESS. It only took a week they sent e back my PP and our other docs after I sent their PPR. My VIsa was issued at May 8,2012 but I got it not until May 14,2012.

Goodluck!
