Hi. Yes the rule and that statement that says embassies will continue to accept applications until March 2012 is quite confusing. It really is much better to submit papers in Makati rather than in Nova Scotia. If you lack some documents, the embassy will just notify you to submit whatever documents are needed. But in this case, if you lack some documents, your papers will be returned to you and you will have to re-send it to Nova Scotia. Much more costly indeed and will definitely cause delays in processing.

I am likewise waiting for my Letter of Nomination. I applied online last Nov 19. So far Manitoba has not yet interviewed my relative. Looking at the website of Manitoba, it says there that they prefer that applicants submit their application for permanent resident visas in Nova Scotia as instructed by CIC. I think it is better to send it there than to submit it in Makati although it is more costly and quite more of a hassle.

I hope this helps.

true carlzeiss, better to submit the PR application package in NS rather than in Makati because i just received my LOA today, it is mentioned there that i will submit the package to CIO NS.. goodluck to your application, i also submitted online.. 3 months processing only..

yours is quite fast/ :) i haven't received any LOA yet but if God would give me the LOA I guess I will be instructed to send it to Nova Scotia too because of the new rule. online applications are really fast. I just remembered, I was planning to submit mine last September through their online portal too but my cousin preferred the traditional way so I obliged. But they called my sponsor already, December, I think that is quite fast too considering the application was not done online.
I'm praying to receive a letter of nomination soon. :)

I've read about that too. That Nova Scotia thingy. I guess the new applications are now instructed to directly submit them to Nova Scotia. If that would be the case, we have to make sure that the requirements are all there so ensure processing. It will be more costly indeed.
Anyway, I am still waiting for the Nomination. I will know when I receive it in the mail. Thanks! :)
 
Hello guys, any feedback from CEM for those who are waiting for AOR?
It's been a month from the time i submitted my visa application package to CEM but still no response from them..
I am a bit worried,coz most applicants received their AOR after a week upon submission to CEM...
Please inform me once you got your AOR..thanks
