hi everyone... this forum is very much helpful for me during my processing stage.. Therefore, I promised myself that once i got my visa i will post helpful information that will guide future applicants..
Timeline po:
upfront medical (sept 2016)
paper submitted to canada -sept 16, 2016
paper received by CIC sept 19, 2016
sponsorship approved oct 2016
sent and received by manila office/ AOR2- Nov 2, 2016
additional documents sent Nov 9 ( that includes sponsor birth certificate and RTPR)
ECAS -in process
PPR- February 10, 2016
passport received- Feb 18, 2016
Advices that would make your processing fast: ;D
make sure your sponsor paid your RTPR beforehand along with other payments..
it is better to do UPFRONT medical
pass your sponsor birth certificate although it is not indicated in cic original package.. They will require you in the end especially if they send AOR2 mail.
check your ECAS always..once it changes to DECISION MADE it means you will receive a PPR mail (passport request) very soon ;D
waiting is tiring and exhausting sometimes but keep the FAITH guys.. Trust in God's timing..
good luck everyone.. I hope this can help..
