so this is what happened.

my husband received a phone call from a lady at CEM. she gave him a mini interview, asking questions about himself, our daughter and myself, asked him about important dates (wedding, birthdays), ect. then she asked him if he can be in canada before oct 19. he said yes then, asked why? she said because his medical is expiring and he must leave before the expiry date. if he doesnt leave before that date he must do a re-med before he enters canada. then she mentions to him that his application is being "rushed" due to the medical expiry date. and they are working hard to make sure people wont need to do a re-med. then she tells him, they sent his passport yesterday and will receive it in 3 to 4 days.

yehey! bought a ticket already oct 17!! $575 CDN one way ticket, PAL, 12 hour flight, Manila to Vancouver. then he will be here! :) - i wanted it to be sooner, but he said he needs to make sure who will be taking care of the house, car, animals, ect. before he transition his way to canada!! hehehe....

Hi toopieNbinoo Congratulations! ;D .
Question: have you tried emailing cem to remind that your medical will be expiring? If yes, did they extend the validity of your medical? I am asking this because my medical is expiring on November 15. Then cem emailed me that my medical has extended its validity until 8th of Jan 2014. Appreciate your reply

Hi Thrineann! Yup, they have replied the next day. In addition, they informed me also that my file is currently queued for review.

Sana tayo na sumunod na magkavisa. Sobrang nakakabaliw ng maghintay.
