They can't do anything without the passport. I seriously think they put the app on the shelf until they get it.
Oh no! Not the shelf! How will they reach it without CJG's app to stand on? Is Tagum's thick enough? This is worrying...

They can use our app to stand on, it should at least be useful for something until they open it up. Oh and by the way, warn the rooster, I am warming up the pan :)

Would anyone know?? My hubby's medical test result will be expiring first week of Aug and NBI clearance is also expiring first week of Sept. Will they release his Visa prior to the expiration date or he will need to do another medical testing or get another NBI clearance again? On ecas it states that "medical results have been received".

can someone that went through something similar, please advise.

thank you kindly

mrs d
Hi mrs. d

I have the same status as your husband too, my medical will expires by 2nd week of August and still have the same remarks on "medical results has been received"

Except for having to walk all the way across the airport and through the strictest domestic airport security in the world. Nothing like having to throw out half the contents of your carry-on to fly to Victoria that you have carried on flights all around the world in the past 24 hours of flying. They made me toss out a bottle filled with sand because the contents of the bottle were not labelled as "sand." Twas a sad day ::)
No kidding, i saw them go through a woman's bag and took her bottle from the duty free (i think on line) because there was something wrong with the bag. She was pissed... Also another women had her wooden buddha statue confiscated because it was wooden.... crazy...

My wife is hand delivering her PP as we speak. We're including a note to use Dan_From_Surrey's application for extra height. So all should be good. ;D

So ecas has now been updated to show for my wife:

Your current home address:
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Your current mailing address:
Philippines address

Should I use the link to "update this home address" to our full Canadian address....or maybe just see what it changes to tomorrow?

Thanks!

(this is very welcomed after the day I had!!!)

Awe...sorry Steph...I know its hard for you...especially after your wait, and the end part is horrible....

But you know yours is coming...Just keep busy...and remember even though every day now seems like a month...that you've already done over a year....couple more weeks to go!
(which isn't fair....but you can do it!)

Cheers!
