Ok so I went on my interview with my two kids on the 23 April,2013,was really nervous cause you don't know what to expect,even though you know everything about your hubby nervousness can make you stutter. Oh well she just compare the pic in the pp with the kids then she said they could wait outside. I got a white Elderly woman really stern. first and foremost make sure you have every thing that list request I had 30days to get everything organized. So I went in to be honest cant remember if she tol me her name but I know she said am your VO that would be doing your interview and I want nuting but the truth lol,i thought I was in court lol,but anyway she she said I would determine if you would be qualify for a visa.She took all my documents she went through them I saw her nudding her head,then she pick up the stock of phone call records then she said what it your husband number of course you call like 5-6 times per day you will know so I blurt it out fluently with love and a smile ;D,it was really intense she then said wow you have lots of wedding pics she went through them and all she was doing was hum hum hum then she said no casual pic I said yes I point to them she said its just a few ,she said all this time in Cdn and only a few casual pic I told her I had a lot but my comp crash and I lost them she then ask me again in a different way I gave her the same answer,then she went through the docs again she said this insurance paper not saying much so I took my insurance card out she looked at it then she said ok for about 10mins of silence she was typing away on her comp my heart started to beat fast,(so guys I must quote every body case is different but yet still similar ok remember from day one I say I claim refugee so my case is red flag with CIC )so her next question was have you ever used any other name than my real name to enter Cdn of course I did so my answer was yes,she ask the name I told her,because I knew she had that information infront of her I figure she was just waiting for me to lie,but I didn't she then said are sure this is not an arrange marriage I said to her no its not.then it was another 10 mins of silence she was typing away,then she packed all my documents I swear she was going to give them back to me then she said ok you have 30days to prove that your marriage is real she only hand me back the pp,i said what do you request her exact words was I don't know you must know I swear to you guys I said ok. I came out shaking I called my husband right away he said am booking my flight I was scared for him to travel because at the time he was going through chemotherapy,so we contact the lawyer he sent them an e-mail immediately and they reply that they just needed a letter to say we were living together while I was in Canada,so I live in a co-op so we got the letter plus also a letter from my pastor stating he knew us as a couple from 2010-2012 and my church is all philippineos,they request I took back all that info at my earliest convenient,i took it back to them then she ask for the pp I gave them to her and was from May 9 2013,i got a reply in June stating that they have receive the additional docs and that they are dealing with the application according to hwo it was receive in the queue and that if they need any mor info they will contact the applicant. So I have been waiting ever since well guys as I said every body situation is different cause am a refugee claimant who got married and someone once mentioned on the forum that we are red flags,but I was not deported they I came back the time they told me to also they never request any ARC I was told only if you have been deported then you will have to do a ARC. am open for any questions ok.

I noticed that... just curious, but I was told that once a Visa is issued, you only have a limited number of days to leave the country before it expires. I have been told this by every person who was issued a visa to Canada. So perhaps you could help me out. What is the number of days you have until it expires? Theirs had varied from 14 days - 30 days.
You have up until your medical expires to leave the island.

If someone was going to get their MP to reach out - at one point in the process would you do that? after the suggested amount of wait, which is 20 mths? or before?

Also - I'm new to all the lingo...My Ecas is also saying "Application Rec'd" and when I click inside it's mentioning Medicals rec'd...but when I look to the bottom of that page for "what this could mean" it mentions that "medicals rec'd" is only listed under the "Decision is made" category...but there is no way a decision has been made, we just applied... ???... AND notes?? what are notes, why do people get them, does KGN request you get these at some point and I'm just not there yet?
I contacted my MP when my husbands Pcc was about to be expired, and immigration contacted my hubby to redo it. A couple weeks later we went in process. When his medical was about to expire I contacted my MP again and my hubby received an email from immigration that they were going to extend it. They extended it for one year so my hubby has a lot of time which I hate. I wish they gave him 30 days instead.

Good evening everyone,

I have been searching this site for any information on sponsoring dependent children but haven't found anything. My husband and I just submitted an application for my 6 year old step daughter and was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with that or knows what the processing times are like now for Kingston. I have heard it goes faster than spousal sponsorship but it seems to be grouped together in the family sponsorship processing time which is 22 months if I am reading that right??

Thanks for sharing jahdes; maybe I would have broken down too. They must go through some type of psychological training to toughen their hearts like that and treat people like they are worth nothing.

Your passport has been taken a long time; I pray it will be in your hands soon with your shiny visa; are your children also waiting for COPR?
