Hi, my application was received also on May at ang status ko still received din. I think They don't update it. I have all my dox submitted even meds. We have a representative. The new processing time now is 14 months (I hope it won't take that long) kaya hintay Lang talaga. But if you haven't had your meds request yet, why don't you send an email to CEM? Is your husband already a citizen in Canada?

yeah the good thing with this forum is di nga tayo nagiisa, we offer mutual support sa isat isa. although umaasa ako na makuha na namin kaagad ang visa, i personally (realistically) dont think it will happen until late this year. From the looks of it, inuuna ng CEM ang mga applicants na malapit na mag exire ang meds. they extended my wife's meds so not till late jan ang new expiration nya; I guess cranberries, ur in the same situation as i am. July ppr din kmi.

Hi Kelotz, inconsistent ang CEM in that regard. In the english forum, natanggap lang daw sa wife ni Tagum ang visa out of the blue; the only notification na natanggap nya is from the DHL office in Davao telling her to pick up the package. In some cases people receive visas and ang ECAS nila nakalagay pa na "application received." Some people like Marcjd received emails. So yeah, there's really no definite answer unfortunately :(

cant agree more...buti nalang may forum or i'll be very depressed. sabi ng dad ko, ok lang yan madami nman kayong wala pang visa.hehehe.there are days i'm feeling positive about the waiting situation and all but there are days na subrang impatient and asar na ako. sigh....pero sabi mo nga, there are lots of things to do before flying there...let's all just hang on tight. this too shall pass.tsaka malapit na rin ang pasko, paul.hehehe.nagppalabas na nga sila ng mga pangregalo sa umagang kay ganda, eh. :p cheer up :D
