Hi everyone! Just wanted to share the good news. I got an email from CEM today:

Dear madame,

We are pleased to advise that your spouse's application for permanent residence in Canada has been finalised. We will send his visa package shortly.

Note that his visa is valid until 19 February 2014 only.

Yours sincerely,
Family Reunification Unit
Visa and Immigration Section

Embassy of Canada / Ambassade du Canada
Manila / Manille
Level 6, Tower 2, RCBC Plaza
6819 Ayala Avenue
Makati City

Here's my timeline:

App filed- March 3,2013
Meds- Jan. 28,2013
Sponsorship Approval- Apr 16,2013
PPR- Aug 28, 2013
Passport received by CEM- Aug 29,2013
ECAS- In process

My ecas status is still in process. Based on your timelines/ experience, how many days/weeks do we have to wait for his visa after receiving this email?

Thank you so much for your inputs! :)

Congrats! :)

Hi mr.mrs!

My ecas still says "application received". Sorry, my mistake there :) anyways I just got this email a few hours ago. My husband already booked for Dec 9th. We're praying for his visa to come in the next few days.

In our case, we never received an email like that. I just checked our ECAS last Nov 22 and it says decision made already and started processing on Nov 18. We're still for Mr. DHL to deliver my husband's visa, hopefully by end of this week. Based on other member's timeline, it usually takes a week or two at most from DM status that they received the visa. :)

Hi sis,

This was quite similar to the email we received upon PPR for my husband. And also stated the validity of his visa. ECAS takes a few days to be updated, so it will change pretty soon. ;D ;D ;D Keep the faith! ;D

Thank you sis! :)

Let's continue to pray for our visas. Thank you for your inputs. Made me less anxious :)

May agency sis na tumulong sa akin, halos pareho lang ng price kasi sa website USD ang nakaquote.

Oo sis, pwede! kapag nagbook ka, esp kapag PAL, sasabihin mo lang na gusto mo sa "forward seat" yan yung first na cabin after ng business class, kung baga asa likod lang mismo ng business class. Usually sa part na yan, nakahiga ang mga pasahero tig iisang row :) Sometimes, binibigay din nila yan priority for moms na may mga baby.

Noted yan sis mukhang ok yang suggestion mo na forward seat since antukin ako sa byahe...hehe parang ok sakin ang nakahiga. Thanks sis! :)
