i am the sponsor...i already check it and i enter my permanent residence card..( because i dont have any number yet )..i cannot check my timeline..i dont know why...
If you're the sponsor, u can use ur PR card no. because its the same as ur UCI no. You're sponsored person will have a different UCI no. from yours, but both of you will have the same Application File no. Use your UCI no. to check your status sa ECAS. If you have not been approved yet, walang lalabas sa ECAS mo. So just wait for the approval.

If your timeline has passed the date na nakalagay sa CIC-M on their website, better call them. They will tell you if you have been approved or not. For some they received an email with regards to their approval. Pero for others like me, regular postmail and it oftens take a while.

hello po sa lahat. I thank God for the safe trip that I had on Dec. 15. Didn't have any problems except that I didn't get to sleep for about 36 hours. My flight was all good and didn't have any problems with the immigration, custom, etc. I hope all of you will receive what you have been waiting for in God's time. Don't be anxious about not having your visas yet. It will SURELY come at the right time. God bless.

Anybody pls. help!

1) I have submitted all the sponsorship application forms to my husband who is now in canada together with the supporting documents but my medical is not included with it yet. Do we need to wait for the letter notifying me that I should do my medical exam? or can I do it right away send it to CPC-M together with my sponsorship application?

2) My husband wants to pay for the application fee but the form IMM 5401 is should be ordered online and it takes 2 weeks before he will be able to receive it is there other way to have that form faster? we supposed to send the application within this month (December).

Pls. enlighten me on this.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

@chelseaviel
Hello ! In my case before I sent my application to hubby in Canada I already done everything like medical. Got my medical exam. in SCTS Makati by Dra. Timbol Sanchez good thing about it after my medical exam at the same day you'll get the Medical Report- Section A EFC and receipt once you get those they'll tell you to send the original copy to your sponsor and your's will be the photo copy. Unlike in NationWide I heard to the other forumer's it took 2 weeks to release that Medical Report you have to go back to get that. About the fee, hubby paid it online then he printed the form and receipt and included it to our application forms.

mas cheaper kung sa canada post na lang nya padala pero kung gusto niyo ng ups/fedex ok lang din kung mag canada post kayo
pag dating sa canada post may mga pagpipiliin naman dun na lalagyan like kung makapal talaga (300 pages) may maliit na box dun then dun ilalay mero din naman mga bubble na envelop dun like samen ung pinakamaliit na box ung ginamit namen then kung need ng stamp sasabihin naman nung nagbabantay dun and lalagyan nila ng stamp.. meron naman box or envelop sa ups store din eh so dalhin na lang niya ung application niyo tapos dun na lang sya pili ng lalagyan tapos sulat ung address. and pwede niyo naman i check online kung nareceive na ba ng office ung application niyo..

reliable naman ang Canada Post eh compare sa philippines (sorry but magulo talaga postal service saten).. and you can also check sa site ng Canada Post if natanggap nila pwedeng next day delivery or 7days
same ng ups/fedex/purolator pareparehas lang yan.. courier man o local pwede mo icheck again asayo pa din kung ano gusto mo :)

@mrs.vip thank you so much for answering my hubby's (sirdaecon) question :D

1. Kung anong pipiliin mo courier will provide the envelope, box or bubble envelope for you that will fit all your documents. For me, I just wrapped in plastic, and then handed it to the courier. Sila na ang naglagay sa envelope or box for me.
2. Better to have it couriered kasi from there mallaman mo kung nareceive na ng CIC-M. Ordinary postmail will not give you that security that CIC-M has received your application. Try Purolator, FEDEX and UPS. CIC-M will not confirm by mail or email or phonecall na nareceive na nila ung application mo. So better track it.
3. As i said, have it couriered! :p
Thank you! i think we will send it through courier. So does this mean no postage stamps na diba po? =)

ordered IMM 5401 thru cic.gc.ca today, hope it will be waiting for me when I go back to Calgary on Jan 20. Natuwa ako sa pagorder coz you only input the postal code and the site gives you the addresses already, i mean its amazing how "organized" everything is including postal codes in Canada, comparing dito sa Pinas na kahit mali mali Zip code na ilagay mo eh it doesnt matter. hehe. :D

Hello po sa lahat! I just have an inquiry that some or probably none had encounter. Eto po kasi problem. My hubby did a bubu on our application. Sa additional family information, he forgot to include yung sister niya. Can we correct this by sending another additional family information form sa embassy without getting our papers delayed or worse refused? Anybody had any situation like this? I'm concerned kasi we have a plan of sponsoring his sister in the future and this might become an issue. By the way our application was already sent to manila embassy, although wala pa pong aor/ppr. Thanks .
