Thanks ulit ragluf. 90 working days. so parang at least 4 months (including Sats, Suns, and Holidays). Medyo matagal din pala. Am starting kasi to assess our options just in case makatanggap na kami ng PPR whether or not stay in a foreign land without a passport or if its better to just go home and wait for the passports to be returned there. but then again, if we decide to go home, we'd have to inform CEM of the change in address, employers, and such (which i guess would be cause for another delay). haaay, any advice?
Thanks ulit
Well - me ramifications nga if you choose to move back to the PH and wait for your PPR. You are asked in the PPR to where or what address will the PPs be sent back to. Yet still, you need to inform CEM of that change in your address should you do so mid-application. That is why the hardest part in this process is the waiting - and that wala kang magawang paraan to speed it up - madalas mid-application wala na sa kamay mo yan.
Think of the positive right now in your current situation - you have work, living in a foreign country away from home, and with your family (tama ba?) while still processing your application - think of the other applicants out there - they are not in the same position as you are. If you had to show adaptability and resilience in settling in a foreign country - well you have that experience.
. Plus for your evaluation.
Too often - in scanning other forums and threads - I see stories of impatience and losing hope sa tagal ng process. IMHO - it is putting ALL your hopes and plans in one basket (the Canadian dream) that drives desperation. Once desperation sets in - well you can't really see the big picture - other options may exist aside from the Canadian dream.
My advice: you have time - allow the process and things to settle down and into their proper places in the coming weeks. Sometimes, opportunities come while we least expect it - malay mo - hindi sa Canada ang swerte mo
. Keep your eyes open while the application is running its due course. Use that time in-between wisely.
Keep the faith - di ka nag-iisa, madami tayong ganito ang sentimyento.
/hope this helps....
