Yeah no need to worry... Just mention you have a connecting flight to catch. You should get bumped up the queue. If your flight is late or you miss the connecting one they should put you on the next connecting one. You may have to wait a bit but they will rearrange it.

guess something still works there, got this last night, but confused because wife was called they said best to bring the the docs in person. She will need to fly to Manila, are they wanting an interview? i told her be there right at 8am and maybe she will get her visa before the end of the day. Also there is no address so we are sure if she goes to the new one


We are pleased to inform you that your visa(s) for permanent residence
to Canada is/are ready to be issued, conditional to a final
admissibility review by an immigration officer. In order to complete the
process you may personally submit, on Mondays and Thursdays only @ 8
A.M., the following:

1. A travel or airline booking certificate for a confirmed flight
within the validity of your visa(s). Please note that we are not
requiring a fully paid airline ticket. Kindly defer the final purchase
of your airline ticket until you are in possession of your passport(s)
and the appropriate visa(s).

NOTE: Your visa(s) will be valid for your initial entry to
Canada until 08/29/2013 (mm/dd/yyyy). Please ensure that the validity of
your passport(s) is at least six (6) months beyond this validity date
(note that any passport received with a shorter validity than the date
shown above will result in a reduced validity for entry to Canada for
all members of your family, if any).

The validity of a permanent resident visa - once issued - may
not be extended, nor can replacement visas be issued with a new validity
date. If you submit a booking certificate, it is taken as an indication
of your ability and willingness to travel to Canada within the current
validity of your visas as stated above.

2. Properly completed IMM5406 (Additional Family Information) form.
Forms may be downloaded at:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp
<http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp>

If you do not provide us with the documents enumerated above and/or do
not use your visa(s) before this expiry date and still wish to go to
Canada, additional requirements may be required and could result to
delays or extended processing times.

This is a good news for us waiting. there is hope despite of the recent development on the strike. your wife must be religious and she keeps on praying. :D thank you so much for sharing. i have been stalking this thread since this morning looking for developments and voila!

cheers to a good life !!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

My husband just got an email from his MP and this is the content of the letter:

Please be advised that initial review on the file has been completed.
The applicant's medical result is valid until
11 January 2014. The requested passport and Appendix A form have been
received. The file is currently queued for eligibility assessment by
the Visa Officer. We will be in a position to finalize the application
after the eligibility assessment has been completed and there are no
concerns identified during the review.

We trust this information is of assistance.

Sincerely,

Immigration Section - Section de l'immigration
Embassy of Canada, Manila - Ambassade du Canada, Manille

Irisgirl, my mp got almost the exact same reply when they checked 10 weeks ago. it just means they have all your documents, passport, etc and are doing a final review
