Hello Simplytin;

I read your timeline on your signature. I believe ours is almost the same.

- We submitted our application to Missasauga on Dec 22nd
- It was approved and sent to Manila on Jan 18th
- It was received on Jan 31st
- We received a letter dated Feb 11th for our Passport and additional docs
- We couriered our Passport and docs on Feb 25th
- We received a 2nd request for docs dated Feb 16th
- We couriered the 2nd set of documents on Mar 3rd

and now we wait ...

It would be so nice if the would confirm receipt of our documents. They were sent by courier, but still, we just do not know if they have them or not ?

Also, all the corespondence so far has been through regular mail, from the embassy. We submitted our email addresses. I wish they would have emailed us, it would have saved at least 3 weeks on their requests.


Now we wait. My wife often tells me, His time not ours. I know she is right (she is very wise) but truth is, the waiting game is very difficult.

I hope we both receive good news (our visas) soon.

God bless


oh yeah we do have the same processing time as of now....we are sure that we had comply with everything they need, our application is complete before my hubby sent it CPC-M....but then except for those additional docs they requested on me....we alsmost have the same dated letter in additional docs...and i do agree with you, hope they will at least notify as if they already received what we had mailed them, but then kinda devastating they dont...

when did your wife received the second letter that was dated feb. 16, what else did they ask in the 2nd letter you had received?

i sent my PP last feb 28 and as of now, didn't receive any letter yet either news regarding our application, even in their site, no update yet...
but we are hoping for my visa to come one of this days since we complied with their request and hopefully no 2nd request letter to come, it kinda suck and will prolong the process....i miss my hubby very much..i'll update you soon when my visa came...

yeah she's right God knows everything and i know it worth all the waiting soon....our time will come soon...:) God bless!

hello :)

2 kase un yung una para sa process ng papers ung isa landing fee kung binayran mo yan both 1040 eh wala kang problem pero kung ang binyaran mo ung pag process lang matatagalan ka ng 2 months :)

and yes they will still process your paper kase ung 2nd payment eh LANDING FEE (RESIDENT FEE) na un pag nagrequest sila nun meaning approved n ung application mo :) pero pag hindi sila nagrequest edi refused.

anyway asa kit naman un :)

abt sa passport mo kung kelan mo makkuha eh depende talaga un case to case ika nga :) kung wala naman problem and feeling mo napass mo n lahat eh makkuha mo un agad at least 1month after mo ipass ung PP pero it depend sa mood ng officer or depende sa case :) wala naman talaga pwede magsabi gaano katagal makukha after mapass un PP eh asa officer talaga ung sagot and kung sa case :)
ah ganun ba..good to know that my hubby said he paid it the right amount 1040...so hoping dumating nalang visa one of this days....i miss him very much to the extreme...hehehehe...

yeah tama ka...no one knows when will it come, but then i know it will in due time and in God's time!

thanks mrs.vip... ahm i just have one more thing to ask. coz the visa office here in manila have asked for my passport last oct 2010 and its been 5 months. then they've sent my wife in canada my rprf to be paid. so would it still going to be approximately 2 months of waiting? and here is my time line.

july 26/10 - application received in mississauga
oct 14/10 - application approved
oct 10/10 - CEM AOR/Passport & AOM request
nov 4/10 - evidenced of relationship request
feb 7/11 - documents returned
march 4/11 - RPRF received and paid
DM - still waiting
VISA - still waiting
yes you still have to wait for 2 months :) binayara niyo sya ng march so may or june baka may update na kayo :)
don't worry visa na din naman yan kase nag request na sila ng landing fee natagalan lang kase hind niyo siya nabayaran agad.

HI guys,

Just thought about asking this, I know it could have been posted here somewhere but can't find it...

What are the additional documents that were requested by the CEM? We are preparing our documents and I kinda wanna have it completed with no room for another docs request.

Please advice. thanks
Hi. usually yung additional doc eh ung Appendix A and Passport yan ung hinihingi pag complete mo lahat hindi mawawala yung appendix A bibigyan ka nila ng copy nun pagdating ng AOR sa manila. pero depende pa din sa CEM kase minsan hihingi sila ulit ng NBI or AOM or BC or MC so depende talaga :)

eto madalas nakakalimutan ng iba make sure na ung personal history complete simula 18-present :)

hi filipina! yup..you already answered my question months ago..I just want to know more of about this through other person's ideas..

Im just worried that the process would take long time..

thanks so much!:)
Hello :)

did some back reading.. same naman lahat ng sagot nila and if magtatanong ka ulit yan din ang isasagot sayo..

- land first in Canada
- wait for your PR CARD (depende kung saan location ka matagal sa ontario 3 months aantayin sa winnipeg alam ko weeks lang)
- go back to the Philippines
- marry your gf
- back in Canada
- find a job (optional, mas better lang kase bago ka lang sa canada eh para maprove mo na kaya mo siya sponsoran..pero wala naman amount pag spousal eh)
- start sponsoring your wife

thats it ganun lang naman kasimple un eh :)
ang gawin mo na lang ngayon eh ipunin mo na lang lahat ng evidence na meron kayo
photos, email, cards, etc etc..

and about naman sa timeline eh depende sa visa officer un :)
kung complete and wala naman problem 3 months meron na
but pag may additional doc or nagkaproblem sa application 4-6 months
pero best answer eh DEPENDE SA VISA OFFICER :)

and last wag na wag mo papaedit ung picture kase ayaw nila ng edited.

Confirmation of Additional Documents Received ?

Confirmation of Additional Documents Received ?

Has anyone emailed or written a letter to the embassy to confirm that they have received the additional documents they had requested ?

We have Proof of Delivery from the courier, but this does not actually tell us that someone working on our case received the documents.

It has now been nearly 45 days since the initial request was sent to us, and we have not seen any updates on our case. We are concerned that the 45 day period may expire and they do not have the information they requested.

Thoughts ??

Hi,

I am a new PR in Manitoba, and I am planning to sponsor my husband ASAP since im pregnant right now.I dont have a job yet and I am afraid that I will give birth alone. Can I sponsor my husband immediately even if im just here in 2 weeks? Also on my application, I declared him on all of the documents and I just put not accompnying yet. But we already sent pictures, schedule 1 forms and additional family info as well as he has undergone medical examination already and he also passed. The only thing that he didnt do is to ay the processing fee as well as the Right to Permanent Residence Fee since he is not accompanying yet during my application.But since I am here now, I want to sponsor him right away. Do you think I will qualify as a sponsor?Please help me on this, based on your exerience.Thanks
