Hey guys,silent reader here, just wanted to give my timeline. My Initial plan was to apply for the Jan intake but had to delay due to sputum test done. I then deferred to September intake and luckily got my PPR yesterday.
2022 timeline
Mid September- Got my LOA from my uni
Oct 10 - did upfront medical at ST. Lukes
Oct 12-15- Did Sputum Test
Jan 15 -2nd x-ray and clearance for medical
Jan 18- Lodged my application through ircc portal
Jan 19- Biometrics collection letter
Jan 25 - Did my biometrics
Feb 10 - request letter for additional documents (asked for more info on financial docs since it was incomplete, and PCC for a country I visited which was weird cause I only stayed there for less than two weeks on each trip) with deadline on March 10
March 10 - Submitted 1 out 2 of the required document since I wasnt able to procure the PCC since it was still under process from the embassy
May 7- Got my PCC and submitted it through web form.
May 15- Eligibility review changed to
- We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
June 7- Got my PPR and correspondence letter.
For today, I submitted my passport along with the required docs. Took me alot of time than most applicants in the Philippines but for those that would lodge their application , just make sure to complete the documents required to be submitted initially. And make sure to submit additional documents requested asap.
In my case, the document that they were looking for was not yet available during the due date so I sent them an explanation and all the proof that I have such as receipts to let them know that I gave my best effort to submit the requirements. Secondly, If ever the document they requested is available to you after the deadline has been reached, make sure to submit it through their webform .
When I submitted the additional doc through webform, in a week my eligibility review was updated. then in a month after that, I got my request.
For those who will be doing sputum , its commonly just a false alarm. In my case they saw small spots in my lungs and turned out to be nothing. It may be scar or just benign. Unfortunately you will have to do 3 day sputum test and wait for results after 3 months for the results of the test and after that you will need to do 2nd x ray to check if there is any growth to that thing they saw in the lungs.
