hi guys, its only an advised. base of what I seen here before and as what my representative told, don't always follow up them because it may result that your papers may fall into that last process because they keep opening your file number, I also read that, not from this forum but a letter :
"
Now, the question is how often can you make a follow up? Can you do it weekly?
Of course, you can send them even a daily follow up letter via mail, fax and email. But will it help speed up the process? No.
In making a follow up, chose only one form of communication (mail, fax and email). Do not send multiple copies. Successive follow up of the same will not help either. If fact, it may just add up delay in the processing. There is a limited manpower at the embassy and if you make successive multiple follow ups, they may just end up opening your letters and stop processing the applications. Please be reasonable. But I'm with you. It is not right to make you wait unnecessarily.
What's the worst scenario?
Well, if your medical examination results lapsed (good only for one year) and you still haven't got your visa, you may then be required again to undergo another medical examination.
You don't want that, of course.
If you have relatives in Canada, you may also want to ask them to write their Member of Parliament and complain about this delay. Let their MP's write the Canadian Visa Office in Manila. Or better yet, send a letter to the Immigration Minister and complain about this delay. You were promised 6-12 months processing from the time your application is received. Not from the time your passports are received for visa stamping. That is simply unacceptable.
Here's how to contact the Hon. Jason Kenney, Citizenship and Immigration Canada Minister:
Constituency Office:
1168 137 Ave SE
Calgary, AB
T2J 6T6
P. 403-225-3480
F. 403-225-3504. "
