Kelan ka umuwi ng Pinas? Before or AFTER mo mag-file ng application? Saan ka legally residente nung nagfile ka ng application mo?
Kung nung panahon ng pag-file mo is legally residente ka ng SA, then ang hahawak ng processing mo is the VO responsible sa area kung saan ka legal na residente KAHIT PA inilagay mo CEM. CIO-S reserves the right to determine saan ipapasa ang application mo based below:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/visa/intake/place.asp
Permanent resident applicants – Family and economic (federal skilled workers, Quebec skilled workers, provincial nominees and business classes):
R11(1) requires that all applicants for permanent residence (other than applicants who come under Part 8 of the Regulations – Convention Refugees Abroad and Humanitarian Protected Persons Abroad) must submit their applications to the visa office responsible for:
the country where the applicant is residing, if the applicant has been lawfully admitted to that country for at least one year; or
the applicant's country of nationality, or if the applicant is stateless, their country of habitual residence other than a country where they are residing without having been lawfully admitted.
It does not mean na kahit requested mo ang CEM ang processing office mo, dun ipapasa ng CIO - kaya nga sa lumang forms ang question was "Visa Office Requested for Processing the Application" (requested). Final determination still is with CIO. Tinangal na itong question na ito sa latest forms from CIC.
SA handles applications for the following:
