check your entries, or the system may be partly down for regular server maintenance. If you are opening the account for the first time, baka wala pa sa registry meaning wala pang entries dahil di pa nagsimula ang processing.

@ jojeae your still waiting for the docs that mailed by Embassy right? Ganu na katagal hintay ninyo?

Guys how long does it usually takes..... someone called my wife like Dec 23 and the lady said that the docs was sent Dec 14 pa.

Jan 5th na wala parin... Diba they are using local post? Ung town namin is on Iloilo....maybe thats why? Its not sa city proper but like hours away sa city.....

I'm worried na baka na wala ung sulat or its just because of the holidays?

Guys I need your help :(

@plush

e kung landed ka na pala e di na sakop ng e-cas yun dahil completed ka na. Yung sa PR card, direct ka na makipagtransact sa CIC kahit tumawag ka araw-araw e wla na problema yun di gaya ng sa processing na idedelay ka. Processing lang ng application ang coverage ng e-cas hanggang malanded ka.

Yung PR card dadating na lang by mail dun sa address na nilagay sa copr, within 3 months.

do you mean hindi pa PR yung mother mo at sabay sa application nya ang sponsorship? Ganyan kasi yung sa caregiver. Yung application kit from CEM dadating mga one month more or less, after initial approval/DM.

Magkaiba kasi ang processing times ng sabay na PR application (sponsor and dependents), tsaka yung PR/citizen ang sponsor. Anyway, nasa CIC website yung processing times.

Just be sure na nakalista sa application niya yung iisponsoran niya dahil limited lang dun ang pwede iisponsor.

Hello to all,

I am a Canadian man married to a Filipina.
We are awaiting our visa to be issued.

I have a couple of questions for anyone who has received the documents from the Manila embassy...

1) In appendix A the form is asking for a list of DEPENDANTS even if they are not coming to Canada.
It includes columns... the first is Applicant, the second is spouse, then Child1, Child2 etc
My wife and I are confused about filling this out. Does it need me and my children listed on it if we are living in Canada already? They are my children and she would be considered the step-mother.

2) How many passport photos do they require?

3) Is it a good idea to courier all the documents requested?

4) Any idea how long of a wait it will be after they have received her passport?

Thanks soo much for your replies.
Best of luck to all of those waiting.

Salamat,
Chad

our timeline is as follows...
August 29/2011 application received at missasauga, ont.
November 4/2011 sponsor approved
December 20/2011 application received in Manila
Jan 5/2012 letter requesting passport, nso, and appendix A received dated Dec 21/2011
we will be sending in the passport and docs on Monday, Jan 9/2012

Hello There!

1. Am not sure on this. We'd better wait for the other senior members to respond.

2. Regarding on photos..does it stated on the Additional Documents needed? If it's not kindly disregard it.

3. Regarding on courier.where are you located by the way? If its near the embassy, i suggest you to drop by but if's not..it's better to send it via LBC or any courier you two preferred.

4. On how long the visa will going to issue--it still a mystery to all of us here waiting for it..Experiences vary from days, weeks and months.. It's really depend on the Visa Officer that handling the papers.

Hope it helps! ;)
