Thanks Sir Amikety :'( (are you really a Sir? ;D )

I introduce my husband as Lady Amikety. He doesn't think it's funny.

But I do. ;D

 

[Polgas]

Fortunately we do! Even we have photographs of how the original application looked like...

But it's really gonna take a while to recompile everything =/

Yeah i feel you such a headache to start all over again. :/

Guys I have a very bad news!

Before I go on with my story: basically my package was placed in a large box (think of a large shoebox), in it were:

1 envelope containing sponsor's forms and supporting documents

1 envelope containing sponsored person's forms and supporting documents

A clear plastic bag containing huge amount of relationship proofs

A CIC agent from CPC-M directly called me a few minutes ago, to confirm that she had my parcel, and told me that she "found no applications"! Which means, that the 2 envelopes are somehow missing (even though we did put them in the box)..........VERY strange!

No wonder there's no AOR!


The good news is: she got all of the relationship proofs!

So now we have to redo all the forms, get a new police certificate for my wife, because she's not sure whether Singapore would accept copies of those.

Copies of Option C and employment letter are acceptable, though.

*Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*

Oh no!! How does one convey dismay in a suitable way? And how does one offer encouragement in such circumstances without it sounding trite? Deep breath and work through it methodically is all I can suggest... nothing can be done about what has already happened. I hope you get "reapplied" in short order.

Hand him a bat and point him towards the VO?

 

[Sniprat]

Agreed. ;D

anyone who did an outland application from the pHilippines?

Hi...We're just waiting for the option C of my husband in Canada so we could finalize everything...Please tell me how did you arrange your documents and how did you label your photos? We're married last Dec 2012, hopefully we want to submit the application by April...Did you pay someone to check on your documents? How about the medical?Does it include dental?

Thanks a lot for all the information anyone could give me...

God bless us all...

I arranged the documents according to the checklist provided. I also put sticky notes on some forms to provide more details and don't staple your forms. As for pictures, I just wrote the date and a description of the picture on the back of each picture. My spouse and I did the forms ourselves, just follow the instructions from the checklist and you should be fine.

Cheers

For my medical, it was also not needed to have a dental check up either. For where I mentioned photographs, I arranged our photo's in chronological order after scanning and arranged them neatly into a word document where I annotated each one.

A long process, but also great seeing where you have come and the development of your relationship. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much to all of you for all the information...These will help us a lot...

By the way my husband has 2 certifications from his family doctor and from his Atty. about his medical condition. Can we include them in the application? Would it help?Will they consider it in a way? And one thing more, if my eldest son is enrolled now in college, he's 23 yrs old, would it be possible for him to get a visa if I will declare to accompany him to Canada?

Thank you so much to all of you for the reply...God bless..
