Hi everyone.

CEM requested for my passport last Friday, April 25. Sent my PP via courier last Monday, April 28. Received by Ricky Buendia the following day. Any thoughts on this?

Timeline:
June 11 - Medical
July 17 - Submitted Application
August 27 - Sponsor Approved
April 25 - PPR

When do you think guys I'll have my passport back? I'm currently working and thinking of quitting my job already. Thank you.

Here in the US coz I'm here na rin. They changed my mailing address too once they received my passport.
SO the problem is the tracking of your visa and passport. better wait for it for within 2 weeks from DM

as I told you before your basis will be the day you took your medical... nobody knows.. if your compnay requires you to quit before 2 months..it will depend on your visa validity.. you must be ready..

Manila. I'm so worried coz I don't know if my passport might be lost in-transit.

CEM received my passport April 10. My ECAS changed to DM last Apr 18.

Does CEM e-mails any progress after that? How will I know if my passport is already on the way?
You don't really have to worry. Even though they say its DM, it takes aproximately 1 month before you receive your passport back also considering that they have slowed down lately. Not to mention, it also depends on the visa officer. Some VO likes to DM a number of people before actually releasing the passports back. Don't worry. It should be on your way. :D

Hello buti ka pa nagpalit na sa DM ang status ng ECAS. Ako naman natanggap ng CEM ang passport April 11. Pero hanggang ngayon di pa rin nagpapalit ng DM. Wala pa rin balita. Pero sabi naman nila depende din sa VO kung masipag mag update ng ECAS. Sana on the way na rin ang visa ng asawa ko kahit di pa nagpapalit. Passport lang naman at Appendix A ang hiningi samin.
Hi sis! nagpasa din ba ng pics yung asawa mo? kasi ako hindi dahil di naman hinihingi…pero i'm going to send pics today just incase.

Nung magsubmit kami ng application noon may pinasa na kaming pictures. Sa ppr wala naman nilagay sa letter or any attachments about sa pictures kaya di na kami nagsubmit ulit. Usually nirerequest nila yung pictures kapag matagal nang naisubmit ang applications at gusto nila ng newest copy or may mali sa preferences ng pictures or kulang yung no of pictures na pinasa depende sa application mo.

Hello,

I am looking for someone to take over as the keeper of the CEM spreadsheet (as I can't dedicate much time to this anymore)

What does this entail?

1. Checking the spreadsheet periodically for any errors or correcting it (e.g. colors and dates).
2. Checking the email for anyone that sent their timeline by email and add them to the spreadsheet (You will get password and ID for the email CEMSpreadsheet @ gmail.com)
3. Hopefully you speak English and Tagalog - so that you can browse the forums (But not necessary as I only speak English)

Hopefully, you have some computer experience or have worked with spreadsheets.

If you are interested, you can PM me or send an email to CEMSpreadsheet @ gmail.com

Thanks

Thank you!!!

Everything's clear to me now. Medyo naiba kasi yung case ng son ko. When CEM sent me an email asking to submit the necessary documents like IMM 0008, the schedule A, and iba pang forms, nagpasa na din pla kmi ng pictures nun. That time din, yung passport ng son ko eh nasa kanila for student visa application. Nung napick up na yung passport ng son ko sa vfs na may student visa na, mga 3 days after nagsend nmn sila ulit sa akin ng request for passport and appendix a and they gave me 45 days to submit it. Hindi ko agad pinasa kasi pinapunta ko na muna yung son ko dito sa Canada. Just last week ko lng pinadala sa Cem.

Bale, instead na magkakasama dpt sa isang email yung request nila eh ginawa nilang 2 kc nga they gave my son an allowance pra mktravel muna sa Canada. Nagulat lang ako na may pictures daw na hiningi kasama nung appendix A. Eh sa pangalawang email sa akin eh ang nkspecify lng tlga ( bulleted pa nga) ipasa daw yung fully accomplished appendix a and original passport.

Inulit ulit ko pa ulit kgabi basahin yung letter bka kako naduling ako haha. Pero yun lng tlga. Walng binanggit or bulleted na 2 pcs. Picture or something .. Walng instruction to send any picture. Although may nka attached na appendix B sa email pero hindi nilagay kung ilan. Tpos sabi sa pinakacover email , they will send medical instruction na hindi nmn din nila pinadala sa akin maybe because alm nmn nila na nagmedical na yung son ko nung February for his student visa application and valid yun ng 12 months :)

Antayin ko nlng din sila magemail if they need pictures. Thank you very much! :)

Mga Bros at Sis I-clarify ko lang itong case ko.

PR holder ako na andito ngayon sa Pinas kasi tinatapos ko yung med school ko. Planning to stay ditto ng sagad sa allowed years na nasa labas ng Canada (3 years out of 5 years). Ikinasal din ako last December and we are ecpecting a baby soon.

Pag nag apply ako ng sponsorship ko sa Mag ina ko pag balik ko sa Canada, Family Class ba ang application process or Spouse? Magkaiba ba ang proseso nilang dalawa at ang kani-kanilang time line?
pasensya na mga kapatid.. up ko lang ito
