SuperVisa from Manila - Applicants/Future Applicants

[foreveryoung1116]

Hi Gary, i just have few questions, my mom was done medical yesterday July 29 from IOM, they said it would take less than a month for the result, looking at the previous timelines here, im sure it will take another month or so to get her visa, that if there's no problem with the medical result. My question is, can i take the money out now from her bank since we only use it for her to show that she have money on her account? Please advise. Thanks so much in advance.

I am not a legal expert but to be on the safe side I would wait until she actually has her visa approved. If there are no problems the Visa can be approved fairly quickly, I have had clients that experienced delays due to additional testing requirements. This is due to things like epidemics in certain regions and the need to safeguard Canadian citizens. This is one of the responsibilities of Citizenship and Immigration Canada to protect the health and welfare of Canadians, just so you know our tax dollars are not going to waste.

Keep in mind when Citizenship and Immigration grants a super visa it is based on the documents submitted at time of application, I would not do anything at this type that could cause problems with her Visa.

I will share one of the major problems with Super Visa Travel Insurance I have experienced, people buy Insurance get the Visa approved then cancel the policy and try to enter Canada with a cancelled insurance certificate or don't bother renewing insurance while in Canada for an additional year.

First this is immigration fraud and more importantly it is a complete disregard for the welfare of ones parents and/or grandparents.

Hey guys

I have some questions here maybe you can help me regarding on my mother TRV application. To start with i am a TFW and have a wife who is PR and a son which is a year old canadian citizen. My mother applied last July 5th as a VISIT VISA then at July 26 the Canada Embassy in Manila send her a letter that she needs to undergo Medical Examination. Do you have any idea why she will undergo medical examination? Since she only applied for regular VISIT VISA? We wanted her to be in our son's first birthday today but im afraid it will never happen since she was instructed to undergo medical examination. What our the possibilities that she can be approve once her medical is done without any problem on it? Is this means that she can get a long period of VISIT with us like a Super Visa since she will undergo ME? Can you please share your experiences regarding to this matter. Thanks for your help in advance... Cheers

If they require medical testing than all you can do is wait. Manila can be lengthy for medial testing I had a client wait a year to get their Super Visa approved. I am also finding that regardless of the type of visa one is applying for they ask for medical insurance. One of my friends from Nigeria just applied for a Visitors Visa for their Mom and Dad to come to visit for their daughters wedding in Vancouver and the embassy requested proof of medical insurance.

I found this a bit strange the embassy requested medical insurance for six month even though they only applied for a two week visit for the wedding. The client purchased insurance for the actual duration of the visit two weeks not six month so far I have not heard back with any problems with the Visa.

I suspect Citizenship and Immigration Canada are reading commentary on this site and are requesting medial insurance for a regular visitors visa not just a super visa. Personally I think this is a step in the right direction many countries already have this requirement and it makes sense to make medical insurance mandatory of all visits. Our provincial health system is already stretched to the limits and we simply cannot afford to provide free health care to everyone who visits Canada.

hi rmnavarro, nung pumunta parents mo dito sa canada, ano-ano daw tinanong ng immigration sa pinas at dito sa canada? para sana magka idea mom ko sa itatanong sa kanya.. thanks!

 

[samlee]

sabi nya hindi naman hinanap sa immigration sa pinas ang return ticket.

so ang ginawa ko nakabili ako ng one way ticket para sa father ko online.. kaso sabi ng PAL nung nag-inquire ako, hindi nila masisigurado kung papasukan sya sa check-in.. hay.. para wala ng sakit ng ulo bumili nalang ako ng seperate return ticket nya sa pinakamurang airlines (china yung nahanap ko) at marerefund ko yung kalahati.. natatakot kasi talaga ko na baka paunsyami pa yung lipad ng father ko..

wait lang yung timeline, kuhanin ko sakanila

hi nanaykopo, ano-ano daw tinanong sa immigration sa pinas at sa canada sa parents mo?

Hi! Sa Cebu Doctor's ang mama ko nagpamedical kasi doon din ako nagmedical noon. Sabi nila maghintay daw kami nang 10-15 days kung ang immigration magrequest nang second medical. July 11 yong mother ko nagpamedical tapos noong pauwi na sila tinawagan siya nang secretary nang doctor na bumalik kasi di daw lear yong nakuha nila X-ray nya, ayaw daw nila magpass nang result sa embassy kung di clear, para daw di madelayed yong pasyente, so bumalik nanay ko sa July 15 na kasi nandoon na sya sa barko noong tumawag sila. Mga P4500-P6000 ang bayad, basta walang repeat testing. So ngayong over 10 days na, wala namang additional medical request, cguro ok na yon. Hintay nalang namin ang result nang application.

Hi everyone, my mom's medical was done last Monday, June 29, but they asked her do an ECG and Eye doctor exam, is this really required. I would appreciate if you can share your own experience on this matter. Thanks!
