*NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

[L J]

its a must...its our PDOS in a way... di ka papyagan umalis if wala ka nun

Sorry I'm a bit confuse. i know that we need it but does it mean that for applicants with foreign national spouse you can only do it online (to reserve for your schedule) or walk ins are allowed too? Thanks much.

hello,

i got married in Canada. what's your question? maybe, I can help.

Hi Charlem! thank you for replying to my post. I am fairly new here, i usually just read up comments and fill me with information needed. But there are cases that are very specific like mine, and it's hard to find answers.

A little background, my fiance is now on his ppr and expecting a visa (God's will) in a few weeks. Our plan is he will land in Canada by May, and I will go there with tourist visa by June, we will get married there, stay for 3 weeks and get back home in Manila. Once we get the marriage certificate and his PR card, we will apply already for sponsorship. Considering everything goes as planned. My questions are:

1.) Is the marriage certificate that we'll get from marriage in Canada a sufficient document enough for our union? I mean i know i still need to provide proofs like photos etc that you have a genuine relationship. But I mean as an official document? Do i need to get any document from Philippines or register our marriage of some sort here in Philippines so we will be distinguished by our government? (This part here is not very clear yet to me) I don't intend to change my last name by the way.

2.) I am not required to change my last name right? I just don't want to deal with the horrible;e timeline when processing documents here in manila

3.) Is there a required salary for my soon to be husband before he can sponsor me?

4.) While is Canada, can I get my medical as well? Is it advisable to get upfront medical there or here in Manila?

That's all i can think of right now. Did i miss anything? Thank you for your time. God bless

1) Yes, Canadian is fine for the sponsorship process.

2) No, you are not required.

3) No salary requirements for spousal sponsorship. Your Sponsor however cannot be receiving social assistance.

4) You can, but be prepared to pay more for it then in the Philippines. It is advisable to get medical done upfront to avoid delays down the road.

Thank you very much for your insights

On a side note, am I required though to register my marriage in Canada here in the Philippines to make it valid?

Valid according to whom? The Philippines government? Possibly, I'm not sure about that one, sorry.

Where is your destination here in Canada? I just want to share you an applicant she already arrived somewhere in quebec, and she is not allowed to change her lastname into his spouse lastname. Just sharing what I read an overview if ever that is your destination and you wanted to carry your husbands lastname

Hi, Question Regarding medical forms. We've received our AOR last Feb 09, 2016. How long does it usually take before we get the instructions to go for medical?
