i forgot what floor was it, it was way back 2004....all in all 4 guards ang dinaan ko na nagsecurity check...sa elevator, ang guard ang nagpindot...un ang na experience ko noon, super friendly and jolly ung mga canadian VO, all smiles talaga..compare sa filipino VO, na experience ko before when i enter the interview room na where may window between us.. i did not seen the canadian vo cause they were inside the interview room (marami kac room doon for interview) but un ang narinig ko sa mga tao nakasama ko that day and some friends who were interviewd before me, super friendly daw ang mga canadian VO... more strict talaga ang lahi natin though don't want to generalized everybody but un lang ang na experience ko noon...they were just doing there jobs, i supposed since they know us more than other race, kaya sguro cautious sila...:):)

February 01, if GOD permits..
:) ;) Hello po. Sa mga DM at nakatanggap na po ng VISA. Ask ko lang po if before po ba kayo nag DM, ang ECAS nyo po ba nakatanggap ng WE RECEIVED YOUR MEDICAL RESULT & WE STARTED PROCESSING YOU APPLICATION? I'm just confused lang po kasi, kung bakit may in process pa po tapos after few months makakatanggap ng WE started processing. Does this says na ngayon pa lang talaga uumpisahan ang processing ng application kahit na in process na for few months??? Eh ano po ang in process na sinasabi nila kung ganun po?? Thank you po sa sagot nyo. God bless us all..

i read from previous post and in my observation, ecas is not something to rely on much..before my ecas change to DM, thre was no progress in my ecas frm the very start..the only thing that was thre was when they rcvd my application and medical result was rcvd...it stays that way since my sponsor was approved until nov. 25, home address was added and i recvd PPR the ff week..then after that, nothing..not even application process, i mean nothing..but suddenly on jan. 15 (sunday, around 9pm, pinas time) it suddenly changed to DM...now m waiting for my visa and which is more nerve wracking than waiting for PPR...

share ko lang those who are worried over their ecas...dont rely much on it nor worry much about it because some got their visa without any changes in their ecas....Let's keep all our faith! God is good!:)

Happy New Year everyone... I have a question. My daughter's medical expired last month. Her passport was already requested last September. Maghintay pa ba siya sa letter to redo her meds or is there any instances na she will get her visa without doing again her meds? I hope somebody can enlighten me on this. Thank you so much.

Kessa
hi kessa...im new here. ask ko lang kung may balita ka na regarding your daughter's medical that expired last month, pareho kasi kami.

Hello Pipay. As of now I haven't heard anything too. I guess we have to wait for the advice coming from them. The waiting time sucks. How about you? What is your timeline? Cheers.

nobody really knows the reason sa CEM, it all depends sa VO and sa pagreview nila sa mga papers mo...philippine govt has no hold over Canadian Embassy in Manila for embassies are extensions of the home country's territory or it represent it's home country...philippine(host country) can not enter the embassy without invitation or permission from the ambassador...

all are application depends on our VO..sila kac ang nagreview ng mga application natin, and mostly they want to make sure na the marriage (on family visa) are genuine not out of convenience..mao aders are lucky kac some VO's are not that strict on papers..

i have been inside the canadian embassy before and na interview na din ako sa CEM on a working visa ko, masabi ko lang...sticto ung mga pinoy na VO compare sa mga canadian VO...pinay ung nag interview sa akin noon, that was 2004, grabe xa ka strikto and sa lahat ng VO xa ang kinatakutan sa lahat and she was on door 5...it all depends sa VO mo:)

oo nga.. if thats the case.. they should have not send the PPR in the first place if they are not sure of the genuinity of the marriage, etc. dapat siguro mas matagal ang hintay sa PPR than sa Visa. dun siguro mejo ok pa di ba? hay naku.. swertehan tlga.

to those na nagtataka about sa ecas bat in process then magbabago.. kase po ang start talaga ng processing ng papers eh pag asa manila na po dun papasok ang 10months timeline ng cic and regarding sa passport required talaga irequest un sa START ng application d porket kinuha na eh dm na agad..bago kase sila magstart ng pagprocess ng papers kinukuha na nila lahat ng additional doc and passport para isahan na lang kesa naman na magprocess muna sila tapos request ng additional doc then request ng passport mas tatagal kase po pag ganun so kaya ganun.. sa ibang country late ang ppr sa pinas una ang ppr. ayun lang share lang.

dont worry hindi naman sila nag rerefuse bigla eh.. magaask sila ng interview kung medjo duda
sila kase bibigyan nila ung applicant ng chance na iprove na totoo ung relationship then dun nila sasabihin kung visa or wala.
