Hi,

Anyone experience having their biometrics done in vac manila. Any idea what’s the procedure, do we have to book an appointment or do they accept walk in and if I could ask the address of VAC Manila. TIA

Hi Stephan, Are you talking about 1 physician specifically in Cebu or the whole system there? We are planning to do the medical in Cebu but if it seems to be a common problem there we could go to MNL, we are half way between the two places. Haven't heard the same problem from people on here about MNL, have you?

Cheers
It seems many people have problems in Cebu, just look at the google reviews... and with all the complaints I have gathered on here. Our result were received very late, I had to email them and call them to send it ASAP... If I were you I would go to Manila.

I've read in this thread that few applications were moved to either CPC-Mississauga or Visa Office Manila 2-3 days after they received the Medical Request. But for me, it has been 2 weeks already since we received the medical request email last August but still we haven't received any email or any update in Ecas if our application has been move to CPC-M or Visa Office Manila. Does it necessarily have to be moved out from CPC-Sydney?

Here is my timeline so far.

Application Received: June 28, 2019
AOR 1: August 22, 2019
Ecas says in Process: August 21, 2019
Sponsor Approval: August 27, 2019
Biometrics request: August 26, 2019
Biometrics Given: August 28, 2019
Medical Request: August 29, 2019
Medical Completed: September 3, 2019

At least in my situation ecas doesnt say my application was sent to MVO. IRCC sent us an email advising us that our file was sent to MVO

It is not a requirement. For my wife we did change her passport to my last name since it does simplify things down the road as your PR is issued in what ever name is on the passport and there is no need to get the PR reissued afterwards. Simple tip to do this quickly, take your parent through the senior citizen line and renew yours at the same time as theirs.
