Good news for you and your family gumper.Gumper said:Well it pays to contact one's MP office. I did so last week and they called me today to tell me they spoke with Manila .... and we are approved! Visas should sent shortly. Now just the hassle of the CFO thing to do (we have to travel from Bicol). But great news nonetheless
I cannot compare my wife's first medical and second since her first medical was done in Manila and her second medical was done in Canada because she is here on visitor visa. But my understanding is that the first and second medicals test for the same things depending on your location. For example, if you in one of the ebola hit west-African countries, you would be tested for Ebola whether it is your first medical or second.Hwseyl said:
This is great, Gumper. Most folks who post on these forums haven't had much luck with MPs. Can you share with us how you approached your MP? Did you write a letter, email, show up at their office, etc? And what did you ask your MP to do?Gumper said:Well it pays to contact one's MP office.

Agojo, what you received from the Manila VO is a generic email which everyone receives when the VO requests passport. The VO asks for the original passport, Appendix A and also includes Appendix B which is just instruction about passport photos. However, if you had submitted passport photos with your sponsorship application, you do not need to submit any more passport photos. You were supposed to submit 9 passport photos of the principal applicant according to paragraph 14 of this document: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3905e.pdfAgojo1976 said:

Hi o-guy, sorry for the late reply. First I called the MP's office. They assigned a person to deal with me. I had to fill out an official request form, provide ID, etc. but it was pretty straightforward. They got back to me within a week with the news. Timing worked pretty well as obviously CEM had just made the decision so they were able to pass along the good news!O_guy said:
