Hi,

Just got the same. Congratulations! Per our discussions on http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/fsw-outland-april-may-2017-aor-lets-connect-here.488610/page-328#post-6217432 , it usually takes about 10 working days but it also depends on your location.

Hope it helped

Thank for your reply. What does IP1, IP2 and LVO mean? I'm sorry the abbreviations are still new to me.

 

[angelistamaria]

LVO is my local visa office (Manila, Philippines), IP 1 and IP 2 are stages "in progress" during the background screening.

 

[JLfleur]

wow! i'm from PH too If it will only take 10 working days then I have to resign, asap

 

[angelistamaria]

The advice is not to resign until you have the visa and COPR in your hand. I actually plan to stay on until the end of the year. Would still love to get that year-end bonus (sayang lang). I still have a good way to go before my medical expires so I would rather bulk up the settlement funds before I leave.

Did you use a representative/ agency or did you do it yourself?

 

[JLfleur]

I applied via agency but there is really no clear advice regarding the process, that's why I started to read forums because I was already getting anxious.

I agree with the year end bonus

So our decision to go to Canada would depend on our medical exam?

 

[angelistamaria]

Yes, you have to land with the medical exam still applicable (1 year from the date you took the physical exam).

My husband and I worked on our application ourselves. My good friend did the same. It's doable, but very time consuming... I don't mind, though as I am a bit of a control freak (and, as we say colloquially, oc-oc...)

I suggest you read https://pinoystocanada.wordpress.com/ for more guidance. It's a little old (2012, I think), but I can still relate to this gentleman's blog... and it's very helpful... his daughter even guest-blogged on bringing her pet to Canada.

It was already too late when I realized that I can actually do it on my own. hehe

Thank you so much for the tips. God bless us

Means to an end, my friend. Doesn't matter how you get there as long as you do. You might also want to look at prepareforcanada.com for free preparation webinars and e-books.

Good luck to us!
