im guessing... the VO's probably went back to Canada.. for holidays.. got stranded due to the polar vortex that is happening right now across the country.. OR..CEM is investigating people who are using Yolanda to speed up the process and those that complained about their application being held because of Yolanda...

This is only my guess...but im sure next week. the forum will light up again.. about people getting visa's, getting upset as to why they didn't get their visa or better yet.. questioning why someone got their visa and not them...
i like the humor there! :D ;D

eto mga dinala ko nung nag CFO ako sis:

-NSO BC, MC
-NBI clearance
-4 pcs 2x2 picture
-birth cert ni husband
-photocopy of legal capacity to marry (if meron),if your husband is divorced dalhin mo yung photocopy ng divorced certificate nya
-photocopy of husband's passport (profile page)
-photocopy of husband's entry/exit stamps sa mga visits nya dito
-pictures namin together, especially wedding pics, honeymoon pics

of course your VISA with COPR, dapat alam mo rin yung work nya,kung saan xa nag wowork,address nya, contact number, names ng parents at adress nila etc. yun yung mga dapat mong i-fill-up sa form nila..

(nag renew kasi ako ng passport kasi married name na gagamitin ko and i need to attend CFO seminar muna kasi kelangan ng DFA yung photocopy ng CFO certificate para sa mga foreigner yung spouse)

hope that helps :D :)

wow that's a lot! wala to sa mga req. sa website ah! about the NBI, i still have the personal copy of my NBI clearance that i sent during my application, is this ok na? or i need to get another one? if i need to get another one, then it'll sucks! coz grabi ang pila sa NBI. :-[

ang alm ko nung ngpunta ako dun ako meron din pag minors a different kind of seminar lang.
sa CFO din po ba? just to make sure lang po. How about ang COA di naman po yan required. So CFO lang tlaga ang pre-departure seminar

yun nga eh, wala yan sa CFO website buti nalang meron akong mga friends na nakapag CFO na at yan mga sinabi nila na dapat dalhin kasi hahanapan ka raw ng mga mag se-seminar sayo although yung photocopy ng entry/exit stamps sa passport ng asawa ko eh hindi na nila tiningnan.. like nung isa ka forum dito hindi xa nag dala ng pics nila ng hubby nya kaya pinabalik xa the next day to bring photos and for her certificate na rin..

about sa NBI naman eh hindi ako sure nyan eh.. maybe ok lang yang personal copy kasi titingnan lang naman nila saglit.

Well in my case po nung ng attend ako ng Counselling, hindi ako nagdala ng pics but I have pics saved in my cellphone kaya yun ang tinignan ng facilitator. Also, they will randomly ask you questions like when and how did ur husband proposed, yung wedding anniversary niyo, birthday ng spouse and even how you first met at ilang taon na kayo or when siya umalis or nag migrate sa Canada.

And basic requirements ay yung MC, BC, 2 valid IDs and ID pics (4 pcs na pssport size ata) ska mga photocopies din nun documents and hinihingi din yung NBi if kulang ang valid IDs.

ayun po.

:) :) :)

clarification please:


My current application is "in Process" and I understand that the average processing time is indicated in the website depending on the visa office. I know that the processing time is 14 months in our case. My question is the reckoning date for the 14 months. Is it from the time when the CIC says it received the application (which is Nov 2012), or the time the Manila visa office receives the application from CIC Mississauga (which is March 2013)?

Also, if the reckoning date is Nov. 2012, do we add the 28 days sponsorship approval for myself to the 14 months (i.e. 28 days + 14 months), or is this included in the 14 months?

Hello guys,

My wife sponsored me, she in mannitoba right now. She filed the application mid- august 2013 and I had my medical dec. 4, 2013. St. lukes sent the result of my medical to Canadian embassy in Makati on Dec. 17, 2013. I saw my application on the monitor RUSH by the way.

My question is, how long do I need to wait for embassy to ask my passport for visa stamping? How long it would take to have my passport back. I know its case to case basis but what is the tyoical process? My wife is on her third tri right now, 8 months to be exact.

Thank you. ;)

I still dont have a visa yet but based sa case ng husband ko, ng brother nya and some cousins who left, usually, 6 months. Dapat from the date it was stamped within 6 mos, makapasok ka na ng CA. ;)
