Ok, so next question is, does anyone know how to make an appointment to see a doctor in Davao. All the doctors there have the same phone number, and it doesn't seem to work.

Hello everyone!

Please patulong naman po sa mga questions ko. I'm a PR who just got married and planning to sponsor my husband pagbalik ko ng Canada (nasa Pinas ako now). Eto po yung mga gumugulo sa isip ko.

1. Before we got married, nag apply husband ko (bf ko sya noon) ng tourist visa pero hindi nya ko minention kase gusto lang nya mag try on his own. Unfortunately, denied sya. Makakaapekto ba yun sa family sponsorship na i-aapply namin?

2. Pwede ba ako umuwi ng Pinas even on process ang sponsorship nya?

3. Ok lang ba if hindi pa ako stable sa Canada? Currently kase nag-ru-room for rent lang ako at part time jobs.

4. Required ba ang NSO authenticated marriage contract or pwede na ang certified true copy ng marriage certificate? Sabi kase we still need to wait for 3months bago marelease ang NSO since recently wed lang.

5. Pag may UCI # na, mas malaki ba ang chance maapprove ng tourist visa?

6. Gaano katagal ang processing time sa CEM from application up to ma-stamp ang visa?

THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE! Hayyyy real struggle ang malayo sa minamahal sa buhay.

If all goes straightforward with CIC, you could be done in eight and half months, but it could also take longer. Just monitor the progress of other Manila applicants on this forum with similar 'Application Received' date as yours, and both before and after.

We submitted 60 photos with our application, you should not require any more than 100.

I think I already print out picture from his first visit 60, now it's like 100 plus photos from our Hong Kong trip including our wedding pictures, hundreds pages for chat log , I got all remittances slip, and I'm gonna print screen shot from fb status, just to show our family knows our relationship coz We didn't get a chance to meet any family or relative from both side.
I have another question , does it will give a negative feedback if I put NO to financial support, although he sent money but for gifts , I'm working and he's not working yet , so not necessary for me to have financial support for now.
Another thing, my husband kinda worry about our red flags, we also plan to have immigration lawyer , but the more I read here the more ideas I get, that's y I said, we can prepare all this , besides immigration lawyer will just check our papers we still gonna provide all of this, I'm bit concern about the cost of it. Do you think , still best way to get immigration lawyer?

Thanks

1. Took us 1 month to get ours. That was express too.

2. I believe when you send your application to Mississauga Ontario, CIC will determine which Visa office you will get. You will most likely get the Manila Visa office.

3. All Outland applications takes 17 months including the sponsor evaluation.

I'm not too sure how my wife did it, but there is an option for Express when you try to get your Marriage license. Just ask around for the fastest way you can get your license. You will pay a bit more, but it's worth it.

Yes, submit the application first then your wife will be evaluated for two months if she can sponsor you. Once she pass, she will get a letter saying CIC transfered your files to whichever ____ Visa office. I don't think you have any choice of which Visa office you want your papers to be processed.

Sa mga June applicant, mag-ready na po kayo. Tumawag na ang embassy sa akin nung Lunes para sa PPR. Ready for issue na daw ang visa ko. Tinanong kung makakapunta ako sa Canada bago mag-expire ang medical ko. Sinent ko na ang passport ko sa VFS Global kaninang umaga. Kailan po kaya babalik sa akin ang passport na may visa na? Magtatagal kaya ng buwan to? Salamat sa makakatulong.

Thank you po sa good news! June applicant din kami ng hubby ko. Ano pong timeline nyo? Sana makareceive na din kami ng update. Although for my husband's case, matagal ng nag-expire medical nya so we don't know yet what's the next step for us. Hopefully, tuloy-tuloy lang. Congrats sayo! :)
