Hi Hanna,

Don't worry too much kasi makakaapekto yan sa tamang pag-iisip mo kung paano paghahandaan ang interview. As backgrounder, na interview din kami mag-asawa nong nag apply kami as Federal skilled worker. So yung advice ko sa iyo is from that point of view, not necessarily for spousal sponsorship.

Very important organized lahat ng documents na dadalhin ng spouse mo. Wala namang sinabi na bawal magdala ng docs kaya ok lang magdala kung sa tingin mo makakatulong yun sa pag prove na genuine ang relationship nyo. Sabihin mo sa spouse mo magdamit ng maayos, yung tipong pinaghandaan talaga ang interview. Although walang direct relationship ang pananamit sa application mo, meron naman syang iniiwang impression sa makakaharap mo. Nong time na ininterview kami kuntodo corporate attire kaming mag asawa. Sobrang kaba rin kami non kasi parang matter of life and death pag pinatawag ka for interview. Pero ginamit naming chance yun para patunayan namin na karapat-dapat kaming bigyan ng PR. Parang isa pa lang natatanong sa amin ng visa officer ay may decision na sya kaagad na bigyan kami ng visa. At mismo sinabi nya sa amin na naappreciate nya yung pagiging organized ko. Nakita nya kasi paano ko binubunot isa-isa mga papeles namin. Dalawang folder bags dala ko, tig-isa kaming mag asawa. Dahil sa interview na yun, natutunan ko na malaking bagay na maging organizado ka. Mas madali kasi yung takbo ng interview pag alam mo kung ano yung iprepresent mong docs to support your claims. For example sinabi mo na nag tour kayo ng so and so place/date, ilabas mo yung itinerary nyo, pictures etc.

Kung may time pa sana, request ka ng gcms notes para makita mo doon kung bakit may interview yung spouse mo. Pero if within 3 weeks ang interview parang short na yung time. Normally kasi pag nag request ka ngayon after 30 days pa makuha results non.

Isa pa, hindi porke may interview ka eh doubt na sila agad. Minsan meron lang malabo sa mga nakita nilang documents or story nyo kaya kailangan nila clarify ng personal. Pero bottomline, mag prepare pa rin ng husto at pray for wisdom para iguide kayo ni Lord.

God bless your interview.

I've e-mailed CEM informing them that my application has already reached 15 months, the standard processing time for Manila visa office...
They were kind enough to reply, but according to them they only received my application last oct 25, 2013 and is still within processing time...
So that means that the 15-month processing time starts when they receive the application here in manila... NOT when the application was received in cic in mississauga...
Oh well, what's another 2 months...
Keep on waitin'... patience is a virtue as they say...
Hi JuanDC! yes it's true actually nasa processing timeframe nang CIC yung sponsorship approval + 15 months sa VO, that means count on the month kung kelan na received ni CEM ang apps...sobrang tagal..

Hi neo! sa bagong processing ng CEM ngayon mukhang in process muna bago PPR, kung makikita mo sa timeline ko PPR- Aug 1 but then nag IN PROCESS oct 10 until now hindi pa DM, and marami kaming naghihintay nang DM, kung March 10 yung meds mo cguro magkakavisa ka this Dec or January, ang alam ko visa validity is based on your medical expiration or PP expiration whichever comes first....walang makakasagot sa exact days, months kung kelan ibabalik ni CEM ang mga PP natin..

naka note naman yung deficiency sa SA kung wala yung upfront nyo, pero my advice is to have the medical upfront as soon as possible. para walang ng mag c cause ng delays,, kasi it will take longer until m upload yung medical upfront to cic. i did mine nov 17th, til now wala pa progress, we tried to email them, and theyre kind enough to write back, sabi lng ng cic on queue for review yung papers namin, so i assume it would take a month or two til we hear anything from them, toronto destination ko.

Hi forum mates! It's been a while when i drop by here.
Ask lng po kung paano kumuha nung GCMS. I am not familiar with that.
November 2013 applicant yung hubby ko pro according to ECAS October 07, 2014 sya nag in process.
Ngre-medical na nga din c hubby. I thought they were issuing a visa before the medical expired.
But anyways the only thing we can do is to patiently wait. :) :) :)

GODBLESS US!!!

Hi hannah :) we are under spousal spinsorship with dependent child, i had an interview also last July 2014. Just be on time 30minuted before your time kung kaya dun na cya pra mkpagrelax pa ng konti while waiting kc ako sobrang kaba ko tlga, dasal ako ng dasal while waiting. Bale 2 cla nag interview sa akin isang canadian at isang pinay, mabait nman sila strict lng nga tlga dpat after tanong sagot agad pra hindi sila magduda at review nyo yun mga details sa application coz they will start to page 1 until the last page nsa computer yun submit nyo application sa bawat sagot check nila if tama ba sagot mo. Meron mga sample questions makikita mo sa ibang forum pinaprint ko yun den sinasagot ko helpful din kc yun iba tinanong sa akin. Wear semi-formal to formal wag casual pra mkita nila presentable ka. I was interviewed july then in process ng aug but am May 2013 applicant. Pray hard. Goodluck and God bless :)
