Hi there,

Im new on this forum.
I just got married last month sa GF ko na PR sa Canada.

Im currently working in Dubai, UAE.

Saan po kaya mas mainam n magprocess ng spousal sponsorship dito na sa Dubai/Abu Dhabi or sa Manila Visa Office?
San po ba mas mabilis? Kasi ang lumalabas sa CIC website same 12months ang processing time.

Thanks in Advance

Hi Aldrinisko

You can't choose which visa office to process your application, it's up to CIC to decide where to send it after processing it in Missisauga, but I think the trend is they send it to the country where you're originally from.

Basta keep the faith! I hope the ECAS change on the 26th will have more info for you. I'll be going to Ontario

Tinitignan ko yung timeline mo Sis, Magkasunod ng araw kayo ng flight nila misis at daughter ko. Wala pa VOH pero ibook ko na sila ng ticket kasi habang palapit ng palapit ang July eh ang mahal ng ticket. Hoping na VOH na sila next week or this coming week

I'm on my phone but I'll try to answer your questions as best as I can (I will just clarify when I get home later on my computer)

1. Not sure about MMR vaccine, it was not required for me. The doctor who did your medical should tell you everything you need. I'm not sure if they check your blood titers for vaccines on the test since I never saw my results

2. I'll have to look this up again but I don't think you need to since the 'dependents' they are referring to are children/spouses that need to be sponsored and since your daughter is already a Canadian citizen, it doesn't apply to her. Again I'm not sure about this, best to call the CIC call centre to ask them.

3. I suggest writing N/A on all the questions that are not applicable to you so CIC will know for sure that you read all the questions and you didnt just forget/overlook some items. I just wrote it with a pen after I printed it.

4. I didn't write a cover letter but we each wrote a personal statement as part of the 'proof of ongoing relationship'. There were some who didn't write anything and they were still approved. In my case, it made me feel at ease having the personal statement, it provided a more personal touch to your application and gives you a chance to explain anything that you think the application questions didnt cover. Doesn't have to be novel length, ours was just one page.

5. As far as I know, you only need 2 checklists - the one for the sponsor documents and the one for the principal applicant. Both of them have to be checked for all the requirements or written N/A if it doesn't apply to you. Don't send a blank one!

Good luck on your application! I have a feeling applicants these year will go through faster than last year's with all the changes CIC is doing

Thank you so much! Your answers make a lot of sense, especially re: #5 haha it's so hard not to overthink when your future depends on something. I'll phone the call centre to confirm if I need to submit my daughter's birth certificate. And I hope you're right about the changes that the CIC is doing. Thanks again!

Thanks xabibella

How many times they call for appearance in their office? (Normal process;Approx)

You're welcome! and naku I totally understand what you mean, the day after I sent our application I had a mini-panic attack because on the checklist, it said to put an 'x' on the boxes and I forgot if I put an 'x' or a checkmark hahahaha after ilang minutes narealize ko parang naloloka na ata ako Ano bang pakialam nun visa officer kung x or check, basta filled up un check list haha

Yup! You'll only be required to appear in person if you get called for an interview (very rare, only for complicated cases). Although towards the end of the application, you will be asked to send in your passport, so you can choose to send it via mail, go in person to hand it to them personally or do what I did- send it to an authorized representative (a relative) so they can bring it to the office in person. I'm also from the Philippines but I'm not residing there (I'm in the US). My application took about 10 months from submission to getting my CoPR. I was not asked for interview and all correspondence to/from CIC were through email.

Hi,

Anak namin canadian citizen na rin dahil dun sya pinanganak. There is a specific instruction about that if the dependent child is a citizen. Sa akin, sinama ko ang copy ng passport at birth certificate ng anak namin.

Try to read again some instruction in the guide of application depending on what country.
