Hello forumers! Just wanted to ask if you sent originals of your evidences such as boarding passes, receipts, phone bills etc.? Is it better to keep the originals and send photocopies instead?

Also, meron ba sa inyo natawag na for interview? What questions did the VO ask and what should we prepare just in case mapatawag din for interview?

Thank you very much! God bless us all!

Also, nag apply ako visitor visa noong mga nakalipas na taon para bisitahin ang then BF ko sa Canada. My then BF was my contact na nilagay ko sa application and he was supposed to accommodate me there. Nilagay namin na relationship namin is "Friend". That application was denied. My worry is isscrutinize pa kaya yun and maapektuhan kaya noon ang spousal sponsorship namin ngayon?

My husband told me not to worry about it because we have strong and solid proof of genuine relationship, but I just want more assurance.

Did anyone have a similar experience? Please share your tips. Thanks!

Paulit-ulit ko itong binabasa......Sana malapit na itong sa kin! So depressed na sa kakaisip nito di maiiwasan! lalo na sobrang tagal na nito....Salamat Raniloc & congratz sayo at ng pamilya mo!
Thanks!... it looks like humaba ang processing time ng CEM from 9 months to 12 months na... Maraming backlog siguro kaya tumagal ang processing time..

Di ba 9 months ang standard processing time ng CEM based on their website?Reply ng VO kasi sa MP namin it's still within the 12months standard processing time.Can we ask again the MP for follow up and send her the link regarding the timeline? At least if the MP will know he's gonna be more pushy..What do you think?

We just got a response from our MP.... Our medicals are valid, background checks are finalized, fees have been paid all were waiting for is a decision from our Visa officer (which probably might take forever :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(). We were advised to follow-up again on September. I don't know what else they need. This is really getting too frustrating :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
hi emrn! actually you can ask your MP to specifically ask if your visa will be issued before your medical will expire. Ganyan ang ginawa ng MP namin. Nagset din kami ng target date with our MP kung hanggang kelan kami maghihintay ng response/update from CEM. He actually told us to wait for a few more days before nya i-contact ang CEM but i was firm with my request na i-email nya ang CEM sa araw na ni-request ko. Nag follow up sya ng nagfollow up sa CEM, ayun minadali ung visa ng husband ko.

hi. we sent originals but had them photocopied in case the originals get lost. When we were still boyfriend-girlfriend, I applied for a tourist visa but was denied. I think in one of the application forms, there's a question there whether the applicant was denied entry to Canada. I indicated the date and the reason I was denied. Wala naman naging problema sa sponsor approval. Just waiting now for my visa. Have been waiting for more than 2 months from the time I submitted my passport and additional documents.

These are the documents I submitted:

*Fully Completed Appendix A (attached) for me and each of my family members, whether accompanying to Canada or not. ( I'm the only one being sponsored)

*Original and valid NBI certificate with dry seal and right thumb print

*Personal history details from age 18 to present (this is quite long)

*Original NSO marriage certificate (We initially submitted the SECPA copy because our marriage certificate wasn't available yet at that time December 2011)

*Original Passport(s) for me and each family member who will accompany me to Canada (Again, I'm the only)
