SPOUSE / FAMILY CLASS timeline MANILA Visa Office PHILIPPINES

[oneloveonelife]

Hi

I've been waiting for my visa and was browsing through some forums. I noticed that a lot of comments said that even if the passport was already requested by the emba, it takes several months for the visa to be returned. Nanghina loob ko sa mga timeline na nabasa ko so i would just like to post this to ease the minds of some readers.

I just received a call from the embassy telling me my visa has been granted. It has just been 3 weeks after I mailed my passport. I got 2 letters. 1st one telling sponsor is eligible, after less than a month the second one came requesting some forms and my passport.

I sent my passport June 30 (Sunday).

Got the call today July 26

Will buy jacket & cassava cake tom (July 27)

Will fly on Tuesday (July 31)

Thanks MNL Emba



- Hope this info helps

Everything's gonna be okay

Salamat Sir/Ma'm

Yeah. Napakasaya ko makakasama ko na wife and daughter ko. Pero im sure masmasaya kayo if ever dahil padating na din yung sanyo.

Im really not sure about the details but my wife sent our application to Canada last Dec 2011. 1st letter came I think it was May 22 then sunod sunod na. I guess it helped that I got my medicals first and sent it along with the application. We also paid all the fees first and included the receipts. Siguro they noticed that my medical will expire this August and they were kind enough to approve it this month.

Nagbook na kami ng flight pagka send ko ng passport so when the embassy called and asked me "how prepared are you to go to canada?"
I told them my flight details then natawa na lang yung kausap ko and sabi I still need to attend PDOS but I can just do it on Monday.

They say that good things come to those who wait,

I say its much much better

Goodluck Guys

PS: Alam nyo ba kung saan pwede mag PDOS sa quezon city?malapit cubao sana. Salamat!

For Filipinos leaving the country with immigrant VISA


What you need to know...

As a Filipino emigrant, or those who have been granted an immigrant-class visa, you are required by the Philippine Government by virtue of Article 19 of Presidential Decree No. 442, , to register with the Commission on Filipinos Overseas before leaving the country to settle in a foreign land. An emigrant who has properly registered with the commission will have in his passport the CFO sticker which will be inspected by the Bureau of Immigration upon departure.

Registration to the CFO requires the emigrant to present originals and photocopies of relevant documents, fill out a registration form for Emigrants (click here) or for Immigrant Workers (click here), attend the Pre-departure Orientation Seminar (PDOS) or the Peer Counseling Seminar, and pay the authorized registration fee. The PDOS is a brief, two-hour seminar on settlement issues and concerns such as finding employment, rights and obligations of immigrants as well as policies and procedures on how to secure foreign citizenship. The Peer Counseling Seminar is a special session for those with ages 13 to 19 years, which aims to prepare them emotionally for the adjustments they will have to take.

Provided that all requirements have been presented and submitted, the whole process of registration shall be done in half a day.

No Reservations Required for CFO PDOS

Important Notes:

The CFO and SMEF-COW have offices in Metro Manila and Metro Cebu. Visit the offices where it is most convenient.

Please check the schedule of the counseling session before proceeding to SMEF-COW or CFO because it is country-specific and the slots are only limited. It is on a first-come-first-serve basis.

You may avail of the Guidance and Counseling Session even while you are still processing or waiting for your visa. If such is the case, you will only be issued the GCC. Once your visa is released, you will return to CFO to continue with your registration. The CFO sticker will then be affixed on your passport.

You will pay a fee totaling PhP 650.00. The PhP 250.00 is paid as counseling fee at SMEF-COW while the PhP 400.00 is for registration at the CFO.

hello po we sent our application last april 24 2012. i checked CIC website and i saw that they are currently processing April 30th application. its already 3 mons and we havent received any letter wether my husband was approve or not.Im heading to Saskatchewan which is originally Toronto when we submitted our application. However my husband moved to Oxbow Saskatchewan because of a new job offer which is something that he cant earn if he stayed in the city,Toronto.
We contacted CIC and updated my husband's new address. They said that changes has been noted. My husband even sent his new employer information and letter coming from his new employer--then yesterday we got a letter from CIC saying that those information were not yet needed since our application was not yet currently on process and they will ask those unless needed. They even said that they cannot locate our file. What does it mean? Im loosing all my hope.
Im seeing different timeline that after 3 mons --you guys got the letter of sponsorship approval. In our case there's really none.
Just the last letter stating that they didnt need those information update unless ask.
Please help me or give me an idea what was really happpening. Whenever I entered our Client ID number in Ecas its showing that they might received it but havent process it.
Me and my husband was like sad. I can even see his excitement whenever he visits his PO Box mail with envelopes on it. But when he opened it--its just for credit card bills :-[ Please help!
Godbless!
