Thanks! BUT I REALLY MISSED THE BEST PART WHEN GARGAMELS WIFE WAS CALLED A PROCTOLOGIST LOL
I would go with a scan of your passport insted of drivers license. I doubt anyone at the Manila flight check-in desk knows what a BC drivers license is supposed to look like, but they have all seen Canadian passports. And from what I have read they WILL ask for the CC if the ticket was purchased with one. I think it was PAL I was looking at that said a photocopy of the front of the CC was acceptable. So take pics of CC front and ID page of your PP and email them to her to print and you should be good to go.Dan_from_Surrey said:
Well PP won't work, I don't own one of those, I think I will just go with a travel agent, when the time finally gets here, and let them figure it out. Nothing is ever as easy as it should bescos said:
Thanks!
You mean... they ignore email???!!!
scos said:Had a nice chat with an opposition MP. The bad news is since I am not a constituent they can't really handle my case. But they did listen to my story and give some advice. First bit of news was that my MP wasn't servicing me well (ah ha!). Apparently an inquiry takes no more than 5 minutes (it is simply an email) so there is no reason they can't issue one earlier than end of June (especially since my file will be complete long before then). They also told me the bulk of their constituent issues these days are immigration-related (Go Kenney Go!). Oh, and apparently the GCMS rollout is not going as well as they let on (gee, what a surprise...).
Soooo, the advice she gave was to email CEM requesting a status update myself (and hopefully this will require someone to look at my file and see it is complete). The address she said to use is the manil.immigration @ international.gc.ca and she said to include at the beginning of the email the following info:
Applicant Name:
Applicant Date of Birth:
File Number:
Sponsor Name:
Sponsor Date of Birth:
UCI Number:
That way they have all the information required to look up your file. She also said they may not respond but it is worth a try.
Oh, and one last bit of advice she gave for anyone still working on their app. Less is better. If CIC does not specifically ask for something, don't give it to them. If they didn't ask for it and it isn't there then there is no problem. But if you include extras, they HAVE to look at it and use it in their determination.
And my GCMS request is still in stealth mode. It's only got a couple of days of freshness left.
Good info. The "less is better" is the approach I used in our application. Simple and concise and gave supporting documentation for only the things they asked for but let them know I have more if they require it. Though that doesn't keep them from losing it.scos said:Had a nice chat with an opposition MP. The bad news is since I am not a constituent they can't really handle my case.

My MP made me sign a release of information form that included my address... so there goes pretending you're from another riding, and in contrast to Scos saying it's just a quick email, my MP's assistant actually phoned them directly. My ridings is one of the larger ones, I never got to speak with my MP personally.CanadianJeepGuy said:
