Still filling out forms here. Guide says PRV will be valid (If and when we get one) until the expiry date of the medical. It says elsewhere that a medical will be valid for one year. It says on the web site that it is taking 14 months for Manila to approve a PRV.

This sounds strange. Is that right?

WELL CEM IS FAST TRACKING SOME VISAS TODAY ,,,,MOSTLY EXPIRING MEDICALS,,,,,THESE PEOPLE WONT HAVE TO PAY FOR REMED BUT WILL PAY UP THE YING YANG FOR A QUICK FLIGHT TO CANADA,,,,4 VISAS TODAY I BELIEVE,,,OR IN LAST 2 DAYS

the only one who received visa was iloveviolet .. the others like yolanda , markel , woodykatie and bambina had an email that says they need to present themselves in cem to get their visa

I emailed them once then surprised to be asked a booking certificate knowing my medical will expire on Oct. I thought they're making a throw back to me by rushing me to book a flight now in order to have my visa instead of sending it via courier.
