hi sis sa nso main hihintayin mong marelease ung cert 2hours depende sa document na kkunin mo
Un marriage cert nakuha ko wihin the day, ung AOM ko after a week.

Tapos sa passport naman nagpasched ako through fone 737-1000 ung hotline nila. Mabilis na lang ngaun unlike before na months pa hihintayin for sched. Then pinarush ko and pinadeliver 10 days daw un but i got mine in 8 days.
i also got my passport in 8 working days. madali lang ang passport. what's harder to get is NBI Clearance pero online na din daw although i havent tried.

Hi monch, please do make your own research on the cic website here is the link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp most of the member on this thread are applying under Family Class - Spousal. Try to check if you can qualify under Skilled Worker that is if your field is under the current NOC list, otherwise ask your relative in Edmonton if they can find you an employer who could give you an LMO and applied as Temporary Worker. All this information can be seen on the the website try to explore it. Thanks.

sis ang tagal marelease ng NBI clearance, ngapply ako jan12 then narelease jan27. Grabe ung ibang nabasa ko pag may kilala sa loob makukuha daw agad. Wawa naman mga walang kilala.
Punta kau dun ng maaga kasi ngbibigay yta ng number. Im not sure sis kun pwede na sa online, mas ok un hassle free.

uhm btw, someone from december batch (kgn visa office-i think this is in jamaica) got sposnorship approval na. and according to the letter, the application was received.......DEC 28! and one octoberian got her visa already. grabe. nawala antok ko!

It's true sis in less than two hours nakuha ko NBI clearance ko, pag ka picture print agad... they call it VIP lane and was done inside the NBI Director's office. It so happen my contact has a common friend with a higher position from inside kaya I made it, of course I bring some food and some cash under the table.

Btw mga sister 1 week had passed and they didn't update timelines for Sponsor Assessment, still 56 days...

sa mandaluyong city hall ako kumuha pero last year pa kasi yun. dec 22 ako kumuha, i timed it talaga na near christmas kasi i'm assuming na wala ng masyadong tao sa mga govt agencies kasi tamad na mag-ayos ng papers dahil magpapasko na. hehe

fyi pala for nbi: kahit dating wala kang hit, pero recently married ka and nagchange ung civil status mo, ikoconsider nila na ka"hit" mo ung sarili mo nung single ka pa (dahil may file na sila before pag kumuha ka ng nbi dati) kaya babalikan mo pa after 10 working days ung nbi clearance mo. lol :) ridiculous right?
