56 DAYS!!!!!!! WOOHOOO!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D and they updated the per country processing times too and Manila VO is down to 9 months instead of 10 months!!!!!!!! God is good!!!! :D :D sana tuloy tuloy na ang pagbaba!!!!!!

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp

On our spreadsheet, i made a formula adding 56 days to our app received column to see the estimated date of sponsorship approval (lol-im that excited) look like everyone will get sponsorship within March! (hopefully earlier as we hope processing times get less) :D
This is really a great news sis, medyo mababawasan pagiging grumpy ni husband. I just find it odd with respect to the timelines of Part 1 (Assessment of Sponsor) which is updated on a WEEKLY BASIS... feeling ko they're just playing around na lng with what they put there eh, they're fully aware naman that applicants like us are relying on any update or changes they made, ok now we're so happy with this kasi na lessen... then what??? next week they can add na naman 15 days on top of that. Just expressing only my opinion here... but I am very happy with this news, lets just hope if they made changes again next week it will be favorable for all of us. Have a good day guys...

I know how it feels too. :( Ang lungkot lang talaga na malayo sa mga mahal natin. Minsan nga kahit wala sa hulog inaaway ko na asawa ko kasi ang tagal ng paghihintay. Mas matagal pa yung oras na naghihintay kame kesa magkasama. Pano ba naman wala pa kaming 1 month na kasal nilayasan na ako. :((
so true... after the wedding 3wks ko lang nakasama si hubby... hindi nga ako nakaiyak sa airport nung paalis sya sa sobrang bilis ng pangyayari, nasa car na ako nung nag-sink in na di ko na sya kasama... and cried for 2whole days... :(

@pelipeli, i agree this forum is a lot of help knowing that you are not the only one waiting to be with ur dearly beloved. :)
so even i didn't get into jan. batch i'm happy for all of you in this batch. dahil eventually sa inyo din mangagaling updates for the next batch !!!! ;) ;) :) and i love the attitude here! God bless everyone as always!! :) tomorrow release na NBI ko finally. :)

hi sis, we use the address as indicated sa guide.

Sponsorship :(Family Class - Spousal)
Case Processing Centre ─ Mississauga
P.O. Box 3000, Station A
Mississauga, Ontario
L5A 4N6

I think we both sent our application on the 30th, right? My application came from Edmonton and as per Canada Post (express) tracking it was successfully delivered on Feb. 1, though it's not indicated who received it.

hi ladyR, there are two addresses, the PO box (reflected in the guide) if you are mailing through Canada post (snail mail) and the Robert Speckway address if you are using a courier. Reason why there's a diff address for courier is that no one can sign for the package for receiving at the PO box.

I sent mine to the PO Box address, registered mail and signature required. When I checked the following day, it was signed by somebody from the CIC.

i know what u mean sis, last time it was 74, pero ang gnagawa ko, icompute ko mismo ung date of update and date of apps theyre working on. last time when it was 74, it was really 64. ung 56 ngayon when computed, its really 58. another thing is i look at the spreadsheet of december batch, and the latest who got an approval
before the cic update was app received dec 7. as per cic website theyre working on dec 5. so more or less mejo malapit naman ung actual sa nilalagay nila na processing times.

buti naman sis, thats good for you if u got a signature despite having it sent to PO box, pero yun po kasi nababasa ko around here and its also posted sa cic website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/canada/mississauga.asp

Siguro na sis...I just live in Toronto. And the Case Processing is in Mississauga, so madali lang nakarating don. I specified kasi sa Post office clerk that I needed it signed upon delivery.

awww im sure u miss him, don't worry isipin na lang natin na ilang buwan lang to compared sa rest of our lives together,and in a wonderful country with so much opportunity.. Kami naman ni hubby, kinasal nung June and nakabook na ang ticket ko to come back here sa Canada ng July. Pinarebook ko to January kahit nakapagresign na ako sa work ko dun sa Pinas, ayaw ko kasi siya iwanan agad , hindi ko kaya hehehe. Ngayon nalulungkot siya, lagi nya sinasabi balik na daw ako dun, miss na daw nya ako.. sabi ko naman, pag bumalik ako dyan di na natin mabibili lahat ng gusto mong luho. nyahahaha. :p (mahilig kasi sya sa electronics.) Hay.. ayoko nga isipin minsan eh, pag namimis ko siya umiiyak tlga ako... :(
Nako! Sobrang miss. :( Minsan umiiyak nalang din ako kasi wala akong magawa. Buti kayo may pinagkakaabalahan, ako talagang wala. Homebased lang ako kaya walang outlet ang lungkot. :(
