hi sir ragluf, i have question, i sent my RPRF via courier LBC my concern is, i did not declare that there is a check inside, i told to the lbc cashier, that its just an ordinary letter for CEM, and they make me signed, to guarrantee that there is no check inside, is that ok? thanks in advance

Should not be a problem - as Ritz also mentioned. As long as it is a reputable courier and you have tracking information.

Did you send the RPRF by itself or was it accompanied by other documents requested of you?

For those who will submit their documents to CIO it would be better if you include the history and address from 18 yrs. old to the present to avoid delays in your application even the form stated that "since the age of 18 or the past 10 years, whichever is most recent". Dito pa lang maiwasan na ang delay ng process...Good luck guys...

Yes - actually na discuss namin nun pa yan (circa 2012) - madami confused dyan sa statement sa application ("whichever is more recent").

Our conclusion was - kailangan ng VO ng enough personal history to see your activities. We used the 10 years as the range in which personal activities should be listed as a gauge for a sufficient enough personal history - these are our personal opinions nung nag-discuss kami.

1. If you are less than 18 years old (dependent) - you start personal history from Your Age - 10 years (i.e. 17 years old - 10 years = start personal history from age 7 ) - "past 10 years" applies

Example:
Applicants age (17) -----<10 years?>----> 18
- Hindi pa nagaganap ang edad na 18, pero 10 years naganap na - so mas "recent" yung naganap na 10 years personal history

2. If you are more than 18 years old but not more than 28 years old - you start personal history from Your Age - 10 years (i.e 27 years - 10 years = start personal history from age 17) - assume "past 10 years" applies in this case. See explanation below:

Example:
Applicants age (24) <-----<10 years?>---- 18
- Naganap na ang edad na 18, pero wala pang 10 years mula nung naganap na edad 18 - so mas "recent" naganap yung "since age of 18"
- Kung susundin mo yung "since age of 18" - personal history file mo will be 6 years only, paano pa kung 19 lang yung applicant? A 1 year personal history may not be sufficient, safer to assume and for consistency, list 10 year personal history in this case to satisfy BOTH conditions.

3. If you are 28 years old or more, start personal history from age 18. - "since age of 18" applies

Example:
Applicants age (35) <--------- 18
- No need to explain - just start from when you were 18 years old - you will have more than enough personal history :)

Covered mo lahat ng bases. And personal history should be enough to satisfy any of the conditions.

Hi the cheque was attahed with the email that we received, requesting for rprf and medical.:)
 
Ritz said:
You just need to send documents they asked for me see below.

*Personal and address history from _______to _______

*Original NBI certificate

*Original/updated police certificate (country of residence)


(see below part of the email).

FOREIGN POLICE CERTIFICATES

We require the original police certificate from all countries where you and any family member age 18 and over have resided for 6 months or more. (Please visit this link for country-specific instructions: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/index.asp).

If the police certificate is not in English or French, you must include a translated copy.

Note: If you require police certificates from Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, or Brunei, e-mail us at manil.immigration @ international.gc.ca in order to obtain the additional letter required for the police clearance.

Hi ritz, question, if CEM is requesting police clearance in every different country u resided, pano ka makakapag comply ng requirements, if di kana babalik sa country na tinirham mo o pinagworkan mo? Like my husband, seaman(cruise ship) every 8months contract nya, ibat ibang counntry pinupuntahan nya, and to think di cia landbased everyday ibat ibang lugar ng isang bansa kada araw pinupuntahan nila? Just asking, incase CEM will require us to get police clearance again.

I think sa case mo you don't need a police clearance kc di nman sya nagstay dun ng more than 6 mos. at nasa cruise ship sya so alam nila kung nasaan sya sa time na yun.

Good morning guys, my family and i had medical last monday JULY 9, and based on lbc tracking online, my RPRF payment was delivered and received by CEM yesterday. My question is, Do i need to email CEM to notify them, that we're than on the requirements that they requested to us. God bless you all. And happy friday.:)

There is certainly no harm in informing them you have completed what is requested of you. To paraphase my advise in my reply a while back:

... this is why I advise to send notification to CEM once you have completed each of the required steps
- if you have completed medical - send notification to CEM you have completed IME via email or mail, include the copy of the medical receipt
- if you have submitted/courier/drop-box passports, notify CEM of this via email, or registered mail, and include passport details
- if you have paid RPRF/sent additional docs - notify CEM via email, and show copy of check, bank draft, list of docs sent


We applicants should be actively participating in the process, and not merely placing our trust in the process being used. Especially with the distractions caused by the strike - you need to make it known to CEM nothing is pending on your side as requested, thus it is on to them if there are delays.

Keep watch on the DMP/PP clinic - and follow-up when they have transmitted results to CEM.

Good day Sir ragluf, you've mention in your reply to this message that "there is no harm in informing them that we have completed what is requesting of us and we should be actively participating in the process." Is it also Ok or acceptable if we are going to inform them also that our application reach 4-5 months from the submittion of our Medical exam and no updates on ECAS or letter of request for PPR coming from CEM? If ever we can do so, what would be the best letter contain that we can put which will not cause for delay on our application? Thank you very much Sir Ragluf for helping us again.

It seems that the ongoing strike really affect our application. For the whole week there is no PPR received and no other good news for all the applicants. Lets pray again that everything will be ok in the next days and pray for the peaceful reconciliation between both parties for the good of all, specially for Canada and their Citizenry.

There is nothing to be gained by doing this. Informing CEM about your application status as you track it is NOT a significant update to your application and as it has no bearing to your application, so expect no response, much less any action resulting from that message on the part of CEM/VO.

Those that I described in my post are significant updates to an application and it is about informing CEM or the VO of actions completed by the applicant that are requested as part of the application process. The upside to this is again, you set the stage for a paper trail that can be used in complaints should your processing go past published processing times. The applicant informs them of compliance to information or documents or steps requested by the VO as required for continuation of processing the application.

Thank you Sir ragluf...so nothing to do on our part...just wait and add more patience. And of course pray. Salamat ragluf
