SPOUSE / FAMILY CLASS timeline MANILA Visa Office PHILIPPINES

[iole]

If you look around the forum you will see plenty of people from India or Pakistan or some other Muslim countries who married their cousin. It's common practice especially among Muslims. I don't think CIC will have a problem with it, but since you're both Filipino you have to explain it in a cultural context, and show that your relationship is genuine. Also you don't have to change your name.. Canada does not expect you to and many women don't do it. Plus if the Philippines wouldn't recognize your marriage I don't see how you could change your name.

Thank you so much Steph C for your response. I don't really know if I should declare that we our cousins and tell the immigration our real story, which would easier for us since we don't have to make up stories on how we've met, and do people know about our relationship, since our families and relatives do not actually know. We find it hard to answer the simple questions in the immigration forms, like "When do we first met, How did we meet?", since we are trying to hide the truth that are cousins. Should I just tell the immigration the truth, do you think they would still grant my husband a visa if we do? Any help please? Anyone who could share their ideas? Thank you very much.

Hi..ill send you a message. I think you have same situation like my sister-in-law.. She is also married with her long time secret bf of her and happened to be her first cousin too. So after marriage her name came out in NSO like ths e.g nicole soriano soriano. They have their visa granted last 2008. Bythe way they already have a kid that time and presented huge of photos and documents or proofs of their strong and genuine relationship.. Good luck

Just tell them the truth, it will help explain a lot! Otherwise there will be many unanswered questions and they may see you as not genuine.

sis, mg-email ka sa cic para malaman nila na may dependent kn. I think ssbhin lng nila na magfill up ka ng dependent form para sa baby and need m cya ipamedical kaya after m manganak, email mo na cla agad para mbgyan ka instructions.

Hello! Nung April 9 ko lang po narecv yung PPR ko then, april 12 I received a letter saying that our visa is ready too be issued and i must send the ff. our passport, a confirmed flight before the expiration of our visa witch is may 14, and a copy of a receipt of the PPRF. Its been two weeks mula nung na isend ko ung mga yan at hangang ngayon wala padin kahit anung reply mula sa kanila. May 4 po ako ng pa book ng flight and 3 days nalang po wala padn samin ung visa. pwede po bang puntahan personally ang canadian embassy para tanungin kung makukuha ba namin ang visa namin before our flight?

To Myke: sorry po hindi ko po ma sagot ung pm's, i cant figure out why. pero eto po ung mga hingi sakin bago daw po irelease ung visa. GODBLESS ALL PO

The list of designated medical practitioners is here:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/dmp-md/medicalinfo.aspx?CountryID=2009&CountryName=Philippines

St Lukes is the main one but someone also suggested the IOM health center in Makati may get you in quicker.

For us, in another city, it cost 5,400 for an adult and 2,500 for a kid (sliding scale based on age)
