It seems spouses who submitted their application directly to Manila instead of the Mississauga office in Canada are receiving their Visa's exponentially faster? Could this be why my application which was received November 2014 is still in process while I read submission after submission of people applying in 2015 already being issued their Visa's?

Did applying at Mississauga which I thought would be the more proper way to submit this application the reason why so many of us are waiting so long while others are processed quickly by avoiding Canada all together with this process?

I am pissed off and frustrated, did submitting here in Canada actually going to cost me an extra year away from my wife?

hi! As far as i know, all spousal applications are sent to missisauga, except for special cases wherein their applications are transferred to ottawa.

Hello, ask ko lang po. bakit may hinihingi po na AOM? Anong case po yung mga hinihingan nun? Pag nagsubmit na po ba ng marriage certificate hihingan pa din kaya ng AOM. Worried lang po kasi parehas kami wala sa pinas ng asawa ko para magrequest nun sa NSO.

Thanks po sa sasagot.

Hi! ayan may kasabay na ko :D May 25 nareceive ng cic yung app namen,then June 27 nakareceive yung hubby ko ng email AOR (Acknowlegement of Receipt) ikaw ba yung sponsor or applicant? here are some of the terminologies galing sa isang member when i asked the same question before :)

Goodluck to us!


cem= Canadian Embassy Manila
dm= decision made
vo= visa officer/ visa office
ip= in process
ppr= passport request
sa= sponsor approval
aor= acknowledgement of receipt <---------they basically send you an email stating when they received your application and give you an application number and UCI number.
cic= citizenship and immigration Canada
poe= port of entry
mp= minister of Parliament
uci= unique client identifier
ecas= Electronic Client Application Status <--------when you receive an application number or uci number, you can check your application progress online.
CoPR= confirmation of permanent residence <------ Needed to enter Canada....applicants from visa exempt counties receive CoPR, applicants from visa required countries receive CoPR and a visa stamped on their passports

If this is true then we could've done the same thing.. :( do you know someone who sent their app straight to CEM? as applicants shempre we are following the instructions to avoid anything that would cause delays.. i was really surprised at the timelines of others who applied Jan of this yr who got their VOH already . i mean of course we are happy for them and wish ours will be as fast as theirs. i just hope that we are informed that we can send the app directly to CEM (if that was really the case) . my two cents.

Good luck to us!

Sept. Applicant here.. Still waiting.. I have noticed too that 2015 applicants are getting their visas faster than the ones who submitted their application in 2014. My husband had his upfront medical done in feb. and our ecas says that they only received his result last May 22,2015. So as to say that it took them 3 months just to receive medical results? It is really frustrating when it is already a year i haven't seen my husband.. :(
