Hello, the MP will check muna if ur within processing times. Kasi kami mg 8 months na yun app namin and still application received that is the reason we sought for the MP's help and then we found out what was going on. they advised us what to do and by June (our 9th month) kung wala pa talaga then they will step in. Someone taught me how to write sa MP eh backread ka na lang wala kasi ako copy nun kasi i just taught hubby how to write them sa skype so super layo na for me to backread sa skype.I been giving links na din about how to look for your MP. You can google members of parliament. And then search your MP through your canadian address zipcode.
okay, so I guess it's not the right time to get MP's help yet since our application is still within normal processing times. Thanks for the info! Ang hirap din kasi when you're waiting, lalo na my husbands passport is in Manila while we're in Canada right now. Everyday ako nagccheck ng update ng ecas, never changes. sana masurprise nalang tayong lahat soon with that visa! :)

oo nga down lang ang server. according sa mp namin, as of yesterday, passed na daw sa security and medical check ung papers ng husband ko. in queue na daw ung papers for the approval kung genuine ba relationship or not. so nag email daw sya ulit yesterday asking kung everything will be finalized before the date of expiry of his medicals which is June 16. hopefully magreply ang manila visa office agad today. if nothing will be heard from them by may 23, MP will contact manila again.

Kung yung authenticity ng relationship ang in question, bakit di na lang nila ipatawag yung applicant for interview kesa naman pagisipan nila ng mahabang panahon kung totoo ba relationship nila or hindi db? At least pag naginterview sila ng applicant, mas malilinawan sila.

ewan ko ba.. but sana wala na din interview, approval na lang agad without redoing the medicals. nawala kc ng postal office ung mga proof of relp namin. maybe we were not able to
give them enough proof kc halos pinadala na namin lahat noon sa unang mail. hay! huwag naman sana!

totoo napakahirap inabot ulit ako ng kalahating bwan para maglikom ng proofs kc most nung mga pinadala ko sa first application pics by film pa wala pa negatives. so wen its gone, its gone for good..

Grabe naman katagal pagisipan kung genuine ba relationship nyo or hindi. Hindi ba nila nababasa or nakikita sa proof of relationship na pinadala nyo? Kaloka na talaga sila. Anyway, dahil dito, nagdecide akong magemail sa CEM at magattach ng more proof of relationship namen. Gumawa ako ng letter supporting the questionnaire my husband and I filled out. I just presented our relationship's timeline on my letter eventhough we have answered the questions on the questionnaire pretty straightforward. But when I read jaraxle's post, I felt the need to elaborate further so I made this letter and attached some more pictures. Hindi ko na alam kung ano pang proof ang gusto nila para lang maiprove na genuine ang relationship namen na 6 na taon na. When we filed our application, pinadala ko yung mga remittance receipts kasi may savings account kame, postmarked cards, a copy of entry and exit stamp on my pp, my boarding passes, at mga pictures namen together with friends and family. Sana makatulong yung additional info na in-email ko para mabigyan na ng visa ang asawa ko.....Basta lage na lang akong nagppray na sana dumating na ang perfect time! :)

Actually minsan mas better pa pag may interview kasi pag naconvince na ang visa officer na genuine ang relasyon, that very same day makukuha mo na ung passport mo stamped with visa.

hi cjd, na-late ka din ba magbayad ng rprf or babayaran nyo pa lang... ako late na din nabayaran ng sponsor ko rprf pero hindi na kami nagantay ng request from CEM, basta binayaran na lang din to avoid delays. wala pa din naman ako narereceive na letter from CEM about rprf mula nung nag-PPR ako so siguro ok na din yun. sana nga maging mabilis processing applications natin at maibalik agad pp with visa.

Hi everyone! My hubby just arrived yesterday (May 9). Thank God at safe ang byahe nya. Umalis sya sa Pinas ng 11:30 am via PAL and he arrived at Shanghai China around 3:05pm. Since 2 hours lang ang stop over time nya doon medyo nag worry kami kasi kailangan pa nya kunin yung baggge nya and check-in ulit. At eto pa.. Late dumating ang baggage nila sa China so medyo naghintay pa sila. Once he got all his bags, nagmadali na sya mag check-in dahil baka maiwan ng flight. Buti na lang at umabot sya. The plane departed from Shanghai China at 5:10 pm via Air Canada. He was supposed to arrive here at Toronto around 6:55 pm but the flight was delayed due to heavy rain. So he arrived at 7:20 pm. Sabi nya saglit lang daw sa immigration and customs at wala masyadong tanong sa kanya. Ang matagal lang ay ang pila dahil napakahaba at ang daming tao. Finally nakalabas sya ng airport around 8:45 pm. Worth it pa din ang paghihintay dahil ngayon ay magkasama na kami ng hubby ko. So far sa first day nya dito nakakuha na kami ng SIN nya and he opened his bank account. Tomorrow we'll try to get OHIP and pasyal pasyal ofcourse :)

Sa mga naghihintay pa po dont worry at dadating na din ang Visa nyo soon.. Just have more patience and faith in God..

Wow! Congrats to your hubby anndc89. so happy for you reuniting with your husband, hayyy kami kaya kelan naman kami marereunite with our husbands, feel sooo sad, it's our first wedding anniversary today, but we are celebrating it apart...napaka importante pa naman ng mga first ocassions sa ating mga pinoy. sana lang di abutin ng 2nd year anniversary bago mag decide ang VO, miss na miss ko na hubby ko, sana umulan ng visas next week and kasama na sana ako dun :)

sa mga magcecelebrate ng first year anniversary nila na malayo sa kanilang spouses, gawa na lang kayo ng very touching video at ipadala niyo sa mga love ones niyo just like what i did, it will make your spouses less sad and at the same time you have something that you could always look back and laugh about :)

soon on September 26, 2012 YAAYY!!!!!
My God! an hour and a half later the DHL office called me for asking where specifically my place in Cebu. I think I got my Visa already!!! wohooo!!! I was shaking and pretty excited, I could jump for joy! I couldnt explain how happy I am now. But the thing is an hour and a half later they stilll didnt found my place yet. I am getting worried about that now.


Anybody here please help me with these questions?
1.) Is it possible that the CEM is sending the VIsa together with my passport usng the DHL? Is it possible that its just a plain letter for another document request?

2.) If I get my visa what should I do before I travel?

3.) what should I do after I landed?

Please please anybody help me with these info's?

Thanks a lot everyone!
