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
