CIC call center agent said that once the file of dependants have been sent to visa office back home they dont have any access to it anymore,she said follow up request will only delay the processing of application so all of us who have 1st stage approval should just wait when will the canadian embassy will act,so even waiting after 3 months is still not enough,she said that our file is already been sent to manila and they are waiting for the reply of canadian embassy in manila. Only time will tell when its gonna come, wait,wait,wait
