hi mimawski!

hehehe... mukang lahat kami dito di namin alam ang isasagot sa tanong mo... sa tingin ko naman if you will send it sa embassy eh baka they will just set that aside and do nothing about it... para sakin you need to wait for the request and get a new one nalang... isa pa you have to put there your file number po pag ngsend ng document...
kailan po ba kayo ng pass ng application?

God bless

You are welcome! nakakakaba ba ang soon to be ikakasal???
Magstay ka nalang ba sa CAnada hanggang marecieve mo dito sa pinas ung Passport request letter mo? i think that would be good idea para makasama mo asawa mo ng mejo matagal...mahirap magkahiwalay pag nasa honeymoon stage... hehehe...

Salamat uli Prayer Sword! Paano ba yung stages ng application? Kapag naka-receive na ako ng PPR, ibig sabihin ba nun sure na ibibigay na yung PR visa? Is is advisable ba na kumuha na ako ng bagong passport ngayon? My passport is expiring in September 2014 pa naman.

2014? mtagal pa naman un sis and pwede ka naman mgsubmit ng application na ngyon then apply ka for bagong passport while waiting... wait lang, yung passport mo ba is ung biometric type na? ung maroon? kung hndi then you really need to get a new one na after ka ikasal kasi papasched ka pa sa DFA diba? assuming na ung name is the same parin sa application mo ha...

eto yung steps na susundan mo after application: (thanks kay pelipeli nakuha ko s ibang forum)


;Dhere is a sequence of events, assuming a complete application package (medicals have been done, fees have been paid fully, all forms are in order) for everyone's reference:

1. Application received by CIC

2. AOR is received after several weeks (if you are lucky to be sent one)

3. Sponsor approval after the number of days (which is an average) posted on the CIC website - "Sponsor DM" This is where you get a UCI which you can use to log into ecas

4. File Transfer to Visa Office - a few days after sponsor approval. Usually when you see "medical results have been received" that means your file is already at the Visa Office because they are the ones receiving medical results from the DMP's so it makes sense that they are the one making that update in ecas

5. PPR - average of two weeks to a month after file transfer. This is where you send your passport and other additional docs the CEM requests for.

6. After PPR, your file is reviewed . Usually ecas says "we started processing your application on___" A decision is made whether an interview is needed. Assuming that no interview is necessary;

7. You get a DM for applicant in ecas. Not considering that this is a rejection, it usually means approval of permanent residence - this is the "Applicant DM". This happens on an average of one to two months after PPR. Some very few lucky ones get theirs less than a month.

8. Then you get your VISA in the mail after a few days/ weeks
-then the seminars, then landing, then the rest is history =)

As per CIC website, steps 4 to 7 above takes an average of 9 MONTHS. The fastest I have seen so far is one month. Average nowadays take 2-4 months (not including sponsorship approval)

I hope this have been helpful. you could always refer to spreadsheets of earlier batches to get a grasp on the actual average processing times so we could all manage our expectations accordingly =)
