Timeline for Filipinos submitted pnp-pr applctions at CIO

[ragluf]

hello, bago po ako d2. from red deer, alberta.

nakuha ko po AINP nomination ko last week of Nov. 2012, kapapadala ko lng po application for PR today Feb, 12, 2012 sa CIO Nova Scotia. Nomination expires on May 18, 2013.. Hindi po kaya maabutan ng expiry yung AINP nomination?

thank you..

Hi, welcome to the thread. Congratulations on sending in your PR application to CIO-Sydney.

As mentioned by RAK - the expiry of nomination (in your letter) will not matter as long as you file your PR application before the expiry/validity date specified on the nomination letter. May is still 3months off - you should be getting an AOR before the expiry of your nomination letter (granted everything in your application is complete and in order).

Good day everyone,

For those who submitted their docs na, just want to inquire, ilang months ba per experience nyo after submission/docs received to CIC Scotia ang reply, like MR or other addtl docs? Thanks in advance...

You can take a look at the timelines at the left side of those who have posted on the thread - they will provide an indication of when the AOR, MR was received and gauge the time. It is different for each applicant; in my case i applied Jan 2012, and got a message from CIO around 2 weeks later that my application was deemed complete and will be sent to a VO for further processing. Got an AOR from CEM a month after that, MR came 2 1/2 months after. Total processing time for me was close to 9+ months.

Current processing times can be seen at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/provincial.asp

Hi everyone!

I'm new on this thread. i just want to ask if anyone here were asked to pay the RPRF first before the passport request? I just received an email asking us to pay the Right to Permanent Residence Fee and to fill up a form for my husbands activities from 2006-2008 and the addresses where he lived from 2003 to present. But there was no request to send our passports. Based on the timelines i see here after the medical most have passport request already. Does this mean anything? Hoping for your reply. Thank you!

The processing varies from applicant to applicant - in some cases the request for RPRF, additional travel history, police certificates, etc. - come with the MR; sometimes MR comes alone, and the additional request comes a few weeks/months later. There have been posters who had experienced getting a PPR along with the RPRF and added docs request; in most cases, MR comes first, then RPRF/Additional Docs request then PPR.

Gist is - this shows your application is progressing. Passports are typically requested when the visa is ready to be issued; RPRF is maybe requested much earlier. It is an advantage to have your passport with you and handy and send it to CEM/VO only when needed - you will never know when you need to travel or use it or have it renewed, rather than CEM having it and holding it for a few months while processing your application.

Thank you so much!! On the other hand i need an advice on whether i should renew my passport now or just wait until they issue the visa. My passport will expire on October 2013 and my dilemma is if i renew it now they might ask us to send our passports anytime after paying the RPRF. And it takes DFA La Union 10-15 working days before they can issue the passport. Any thoughts on this? Again, thanks and god bless!

Given your passport will expire in approx. 8 months, better renew it now.
1. Typically you may not be allowed to travel or in some countries, not allowed to enter if your passport validity is less than 6 months. Also in the PPR, it is stated that passports must be valid for at least 6 months from validity date of visa (usually a year from when medicals were performed as observed by posters).
2. Please post your timeline, historically there is a range approx 1-3mos between MR/RPRF and PPR. We can estimate it better if we see your timeline. The current timelines for the whole process still hold at 11months all in all from the time CIO determines your application is complete.
3. If you renew your passport, notify CEM of the change in passport, and include scanned copies of your new passport identity pages so they can make a change in their records. Always reference your file number/application number when you communicate with CEM.

/best regards...

Again, thank you. I'll renew my passport by Monday. Just want to make sure, as soon as i have my new passport i have to email CEM a scanned copy of it? Or should i just mail them a copy together with the additional docs they are asking and RPRF. They gave us until March 15 to pay and submit.

Interview........: Asked to Pay RPRF: 15-02-2012

Is that 15-02-2012 or 15-02-2013?

You can do either - send payment of RPRF and include the new PP details or you can send the payment first, and send the details of the new passport when you have them. Whatever you do just make sure when you submit anything you reference your application/file number or Client ID. I see you are nearly there - so yes next step for you would be PPR, unless additional documents are requested of you after payment of RPRF.

The VO should be notified of anything that would directly affect your application - as the PP is the identity document, then CEM should be informed of any change. The PP number is included in the CoPR (listed as the Travel Doc. No.), so if you renew, the sooner you inform CEM about the change in passport details, the sooner this will be reflected in your file, and utimately in your CoPR.

Hi All,

I've been reading this thread & i'm happy
to note that most applicants under CEM are having a good
progress with their PR applications.

In my case, since my 1st AOR from CIO has been issued
last Nov22,2012 i have not receive any update
since then. I'm quite worried with my progress
since most applicants whose files were received at CIO last
Oct, Nov & some in Dec 2012 already issued with MR.

Is there anyone from this group who has a similar
case as mine.

Here's my details:
AOR from CIO- Nov 22,2012
Category: FSW backlog under MPNP with 3 dependents
Visa Office: CEM

Appreciate much your inputs/advice.

Thanks,
Milsrome
