isang beses lng kasi ako naka tanggap nang letter mula sa canadian embassy, yung PPR lang. kaya cguro yun na yun. kaso matatagalan yan kasi snail mail yan nila isesend (post office).

Hello po, hingin ko po sana opinion nyo regarding sa application ko.

PPR na po ako nung December 17 (Sept 1 submitted). Nakakuha ako ng TRV para magvacation sa misis ko sa Alberta during the Christmas break so nasa Canada na ko nung dumating yung PPR ko sa bahay. In addition, nagrequest sakin ng FBI clearance kasabay nung PPR. Umuwi ako sa Pinas ng January 6, within the week sinubmit ko yung PPR and addtl documents except the FBI clearance, which is nasubmit ko nung March 9 lang.

In process na po ako sa eCAS since December 28, tapos po last week ng Monday, nagkaroon po ng 'medical have been received'. Sa estimate nyo po, granting na wala na kong kulang na requirements sa kanila, how many more weeks typically before I receive my visa, or at least a DM sa eCAS?

Pregnant na po kasi si misis (15 weeks) and gusto nya makaalis na ko within the week na dumating ang visa ko. Ang problem is kelangan ko ng 30 day notice sa work for resignation. So naiisipan namin magpass na ko ng resignation today or this week (so effective April 19 or 20 yung resignation ko). Yun ang tanung, based sa mga typical timelines, safe po ba for me to assume that my visa would be in my hands around the 3rd or 4th week of April? :'(

Thanks po in advance, sorry sa long post.

IF CEM did not ask for anything more other than your passport then... your processing time would be shorter... But then again.. We dont really know what is happening during visa processing. Something might cause delay along the way... In my case, I resigned after I receive the Visa.

Actually they also asked for my medical. Akala kasi nila di pa ko nagmedical since my wife forgot to include the copy 2 of the medical report in the original application. Pinadala ko yung Copy 2 along with my passport after nung PPR. So from January 6 to March 9, walang nagbago sa eCAS ko dahil sa FBI clearance. Kaya nagulat ako pagsubmit ko nung Friday, the following Monday nagkaroon na ng 'medical results have been received' yung ecas ko. That's why I'm half hoping that the DM would come before the end of the month at the earliest. Hence, the plan to resign. :)

I leave it up to the Lord na lang, alam kong He will never fail to amaze us, kung sabay namin naisip ng misis ko na magresign na ko this week, I know He made us think that for a reason. :)

Hi guys,

I know this was just asked earlier but it's still confusing and needs clarification:

if my wife's attending CFO's Guidance and Counselling Session, she doesn't need to attend the PDOS seminar? Or does she have to go to both?

I am a Filipino, Canadian citizen. Help, please.

No need to attend PDOS only CFO's Guidance and Counseling

Another change in my eCAS today. Last week it was 'Medical results have been received' added to my in process.

Now today, my address suddenly reappeared, but instead of my Philippine address, it just reads 'Edmonton, Alberta, Canada'.

No idea what this means, but I'm happy to see ecas updates two weeks in a row. Sana magupdate ulit sila bukas kahit once a week lang talaga merong update. :'(

Sabi ginagalaw ng CEM pag nawala address mo sa ECAS... Kung walang masyadong aberya sa papers mo... Im sure DM na yun lalu na In-Process ang status ng ECAS mo.. ;)

Hehe sana nga po, sobrang excited na kami ni misis, di na nga ako makafocus sa trabaho kakacheck ng ecas eh. Mukhang decided na din cya sa resignation ko, di na daw nya maiintay yung 30 day notice pagdating ng visa eh. Haha!

Worst case scenario, maging bum ako for a few days (or weeks) pagdating ng visa. Salamat po sa positive reinforcement, nakakalakas ng loob. ;D

hubby wants the smae thing din. gusto nya dumerecho ako agad ng canada pagkadating ng visa. so im planning of resigning once DM na sa ECAS (na matagal pa yun).

use the time na lang to empake the things to bring sa canada and getting rid of your belongings dito sa pinas. im sure maraming pabili ang mga tao from Canada. hehe.
