Sorry it is taking so long for your process. We have been in Canada for just over 2 weeks. The process in Canada was smooth and easy and very welcoming. Just a warning to everyone. Do not transfer aircraft through the USA. Filipinos need a visa. Lucky for us American immigration worked with us and gave us a temp visa but it was scary. if you need to transfer aircraft, go through Vancouver or Toronto
Thanks for the recommendation,
We will be careful to fly through Vancouver...

Congratulations... stage one is done...
good luck in the next stages...
It will be some time to have news from
Makati... they may inform you when they receive the file....
But not always that letter is sent...in my own case, we did not receive it.
But many other have received acknowledge of receipt from Manila.

I hope we a get a receipt from them. So we know when to expect the answer from them, and to know if 17 months has already passed. So awsomeg you're still waiting for the process?

I don't think meron makakasiguro na pag hiningi na ang passport, magkakavisa na. Marami pa rin kasing waiting sa passport nila after several months na makabalik with visa. But based sa mga nag PPR with visa validity recently na nag start sa mga applicants ng June 2014, mukang visa naman talaga. Isa yong wife ng anak ko na nag PPR with visa validity and after 2 months visa na.

Required ang passport na valid at least 6 months prior to expiration bago nila tatakan ng visa. If less than six months, they will ask you to renew bago tatakan ng visa.

Hello guys,

I just received the e-mail from immigration saying that my application for sponsorship has been approved and they're gonna send the application to Makati for the processing of my wife's papers. Mga ilang months kaya ito bago sya magletter sa misis ko. Sino po may experience?

Thanks and God bless.
hi emolotrav :) sa case namin ng asawa ko, it took 2 months and 1 week bago nag-email sa amin yung CEM from the date na na-approved sponsorship ng asawa ko.

hopefully, visa na nga sya. Sa case ko naman, aside from appendix a & passport, nag-ask sila ng additional info regarding my personal and address history and submission ng NBI (mag-e-expire na kasi this April). Sa passport naman, if my memory serves me right meron somewhere sa application/doc checklist ata yun na dapat yung expiration ng passport eh matagal-tagal since more than a year yung processing time na ini-allot nila for Filipino applicants.

Hello.. parang magkapareho lang tayo nang timeline. Pero nasubmit ko kasi ung passport ang validity nya is more than 6 months nalang and less than a year.. medjo nag aalala lang ako baka maitama sa matagal na magprocess na agent At hnd maibilik agad.
Magnonotify kaya sila if for sending na ung passport?

Yes, we still waiting, we had to submit extra information and that has been delaying our application,
we are already over a year waiting, and medicals already expired, but we are waiting patiently like everybody else,
It has been hard to be separated, but waiting is worth.

Wow, it seems so hopeless when you don't hear something from them. but, important thing is they're working on it. And they said that when you reached beyond the 17 months, you call them and ask for the status.. I heard from my friends, who just got their spouses that they waited for a total of 8 months before they received the visa.

hi guys. may tanong lang po ako sa mga nag common law sponsorship

I have my student visa and valid siya until 2017, yung partner ko is willing to sponsor me sa common law partner. nakuha niya PR niya nung 2014 lang . wala pa kaming one year magkasama sa iisang bahay pero yung student visa ung magiging tulay para makatira ako sa apartment nila and at the same time maayos namin papers namin like bank, insurance etc.


pag land ko po ba sa Canada idedeclare po ba ng partner ko na ako yung common law partner niya? kasi ayon sa mga nababasa ko parang need daw po ideclare sa goverment kung may common law partner?

Good morning po
Does anyone know how long it usually takes for the Visas to be issued after a decision has been made?
Not knowing is so hard for my wife, children and me.

base sa mga nabasa ko sa mga forums, mag-no-notify din ang cem pag DM ka na or if need pa ipa-renew passport mo bago sila mag-issue ng visa.

Hi po sa lahat.... Im on the process of completing our forms. Ask ko lnag po kung neccesary po bang iattach ang medical at nbi clearance agad sa application?
Another question po, ang husband(applicant) presently nagwowork sa Dubai. Is it possible to process in Manila office instead Abu Dhabi Visa office since sabi po nila matagal daw po ang pagprocess sa ADVO.

MARAMI PONG SALAMAT..
