Wow! Yes sana PPR sooon! Lets update each otherlonobear said:
i follow the Manila Visa Office thread as well as the May 2015 outland.
>>>Hi Toby... We exactly have the same case. My fiancee applied for Permanent Residency and got married while her application is on process. After updating her marital status and declaring me as her dependent to be sponsored, I received the same email from the Canadian Embassy in Abu Dhabi. Previous timelines of my wife's application has been changed. May 2013 - Immigration received her application for PR. If not of our marriage, she was expecting her case to be finalized May 2014. As indicated on the ECAS, our case started to process on March 2014- A month after her submission of spousal sponsoship for me. April 2014 when I received the initial email from the Abu Dhabi VO indicating my UCI # and all the documentation requirements they need for the processing of my application. No Saudi Police Clearance nor Medical Examination yet are needed as per the instruction on their email. I did not received any acknowledgment from the embassy since submission of my requirements on July 2014- ECAS status is In Process from then on until I received an email from the immigration last February 2015, an email instructing me to undergo medical examination in the embassy approved panel physician. The email contains a medical examination form with barcodes, indicating your name, application number and UCI #. The same month when ECAS update indicates -Medical Results have been received. It was only last June 9 when immigration sent an email instructing me to obtain Saudi Police Clearance, that needs to be submitted within 60 days together with the English translation of the clearance report and a copy of my valid passport, which I already submitted a week before Ramadan holiday. I dont exactly know what will be the next step coz I myself don't really have that much idea about the processing. I just keep on patiently waiting with lots of prayers.. and while enjoying my work here in KSA of course. It was really a long process and waiting game as much of the forumers here had stated.. Perhaps, you may consider requesting the transfer of your VO to Manila VO since your application has just started, considering the fact that lot of forumers said that Manila VO process much faster than Abu Dhabi VO. In my case, just like my wife told me, our case is already on its final stage (hopefully & Godwilling) and definitely irrelevant if we request for VO transfer.. Our application have gone this far and we are just fervently praying and hoping for the best... afterall,patience paid off and its really worth the wait... I just hope I gave you even just a bit overview of the application process since we have the same case.. Goodluck & Godbless!!toby_2481 said:
>> I overlooked the information that you have already submitted your requirements since November last year... and as with my case, it took barely 7 months of not hearing anything from them since I forwarded my application requirements on July 2014.. until I received their instruction for Medical Examination on Feb. 2015. I did not even sent a follow up or inquiry email to the Abu Dhabi VO. I'm pretty sure, you will be hearing from them very soon. Keep on praying, it helps a lot.bladeguard said:>>>Hi Toby...

Unfortunately CIC requires you to live together for 12 months straight. Either you will have to go to the Philippines for 12 months or your partner will have to come to Canada for 12 months. The other option would be to get married and then you wouldn't have to worry about living together for the required amount of time. Staying apart from your partner in Canada to have a good job or a better quality of life is unfortunately not considered a "real barrier" to your living together, so you would not qualify under the Conjugal Partnership class either.reynold21 said:
No one can tell you for certain if working illegally will impact your application or not. However it is entirely possible it will take longer for CIC to process your application and/or they may require an interview since your illegal work and illegal status in Canada may cause them to look into your relationship a bit more closely to ensure it's genuine. Whether you've paid taxes or not makes no difference. If the work is illegal - it's illegal. It does without saying that you should stop working illegally asap. Assuming your girlfriend sponsor you using the "inland" (within Canada) process, you will qualify for a work permit once your application has first stage approval. First stage approval is currently taking 16 months to complete for standard applications. So you can expect to wait 16 months from the time the application is submitted until you have an open work permit.andyre1985 said:
Overstaying as a citizen of a first world country is a fairly minor offence, but I can't comment on the working part, did you actually work for someone inside Canada? Or were you doing some kind of remote work? Since you paid taxes you can't hide this, it's best just to be honest at this point (edit: How did you pay taxes with no SIN?).andyre1985 said:
You'll have to return to Canada before you can submit the application to sponsor your husband - and you will have to remain in Canada while his application is being processed (although short trips of 3 weeks or so outside of Canada are fine). You don't need a job to sponsor your husband - but you cannot be on welfare/social assistance. The process for sponsoring your spouse can be found here:rebecca1987 said:
