Hi all!

I am a newbie here and the informations are overwhelming, I don't know which thread to go for my questions. But i'm pretty sure if there is a particular topic related to my issue, i'd be directed by the moderator appropriately.

Unlike you guys whose application are already sent, I am still in the process of completing all the documents required and hopefully i'll be able to send it before November ends.

Just to give you a brief background, I am currently working as a TFW in Calgary and my work permit expires on July 2014. I recently got married to a Canadian citizen and although I am qualified to apply under CEC or AINP, I chose the sponsorship as been told that the processing takes a lot faster compared to the rest.

I opted to apply Outland, which means the Manila, Philippines will review my file, and while going through some questions on the checklist, i got confused by the police certificates and clearances requirements. I have already applied for the police certificate in Calgary and i have it already, but someone told me that i should also send the one coming from Manila which comes from NBI. So, does that mean i need to obtain an NBI clearance from Manila and a police certificate from here?

As for the medical certificate, i assume that i can just attach the receipt and information sheet the physician has provided me, since the result will be sent directly to CIC?

I would appreciate any clarification or help or opinion and idea on this concern.

Thank you!

hi Sis blissy.welcome sa forum.Yes you need to provide also a NBI clearance from Philippines.

Yay! So happy! Looks like everyone is doing well so far. Hopefully it will keep up!

Hi Meenu,

Ours Oct 16th. We got AOR Oct 31st by e-mail and nothing since.
After reading the Sept thread and then the Aug and July thread there are a few patterns :

1- Nothing sent --> Still continues through the path.
[ for this call CIC after the processing date of SA has passed your submission date ]

2- AOR Email received + a followup notification of decision made + Letter [ sometimes never reaches ]

3- No Email provided = correspondence by mail only.

4- AOR Email + nothing for a long time. Some have waited 66 days . Some checked the ECAS status and it had changed without an email.

One person called CIC and asked how come others who submitted after me got their SA already ? CIC said they pick some application at random and these flow through at super speed. [ But clearly there is a formula here that is not discussed ]

Thanks Tj777 for welcoming me and answering my questions :) I just have a follow up one though, what do i need to do from here to get that NBI clearance? Can i ask someone back in the Philippines to apply for me and would you know the requirements they would ask on my end?

Appreciate your help! :)

Hi all

Congrats to all SA and AOR receivers!!

The spreadsheet has been updated!

Remarks: please I would like to update each applicant information ( Visa Office and dates) so that 2 people from the same visa office can know the processing time frame of their Visa office ( example when can I expect to have a PPR - Passport Request-?)

I'm looking forward for all of you to follow this for ourselves and all people who haven't submitted their application

PS: Sorry for my English if it too formal but I learnt it at school in a French speaking country so I do apology.

Regards

Osdamour
