Waiting period after medical-PHILIPPINES!!!

[Royangel14]

Docrz... Ah ok, so hanggang ngaun pala di kpa nagmedical nkkafrustrate namn andami din palang sablay sa embassy... May mga nabalitaan kna bang nkatanggap ng visa na same month nag-apply sau? April din kc ako nagsubmit eh...

 

[DocRZ]

Royalangel si POTPOT (ung nagstart nung isang thread ONLINE APPLICATION - Philippines). April 9 un nag-apply kaya lang mukhang hindi na siya active dito sa forum. Online application din yun kaya lang hindi ko na rin alam what happened sa application nya. Si sweetjelly din hindi na rin active so hindi ko na rin alam ano na status nya. I called St. Luke's to inquire. Ang sabi average handling time ni for medicals is 4 weeks. Sa IOM Makati Clinic na lang ako magpapamedical kasi 7-14 days lang ang handling time. Baka pwede pa pakiusapan...

 

[Royangel14]

Docrz... Ganon ba, ako mag-2months na mula nagpamedical ako ilang beses nako nagfollowup pero wala parin di ko na alam kung anong nangyare sa appli ko...

 

[DocRZ]

Royangel pala... I keep on writing RoyALangel... Paper based application ka ba? Mas mabilis daw kasi dun. Mabagal sa online application. Look at what happened to me and msladybug. Ako April 20; siya naman sometime 2nd week ng May. Both of us still waiting for our medical requests. Swerte nga ni hopefulangel kasi naprocess agad application nya kahit online application. Sana talaga within today nakatanggap na ako ng request for medical para umusad na ung file ko... So, lampas ka na rin b ng average handling time na 13 weeks?

 

[Royangel14]

Yup docrz... Paper appli ko hndi online, ung officemate ko nauna lang ng 1month sakin pareho lang kmi ng ginawang process nagapply xa march then kuha nya visa nya agad by May... Sana nga mkatanggap na tau ng goodnews...

@DocRZ, Royangel14, Carolhynes: I believe CEM is getting more active nowadays; I'm praying and hoping that everyone here will hear from CEM soon. Basta follow up lang nang follow up siguro. I called SLEC on July 19th and I was informed na sinend nila results ko that day. I'm certain that I had abnormalities on my physical assessment - additional tests were required. Still hoping that I'll be granted visa though. Fingers crossed. Good luck saten

Hello guys. I have received an email this morning from CEM stating that my visa has been approved. My passport has to return home yet. Just want to thanks everyone here for helping and providing useful responses. I hope everyone will hear from CIC soon. Fingers crossed you get your visas on time.

 

[DocRZ]

Congratulations! Passport request is almost good as visa issuance...

Yep, you were right Doc. Thanks! I just didn't want to assume things, hehe. Hmm, btw, when are you having your med exams? VACs have opened nga pla here in the Phils on July 3; We have in Makati City and Cebu City. They help with visa application, but not limited to that. Just sharing, they might help

 

[Royangel14]

Congrats hopeful angel... =) Good to hear...Based sa processing time gano katagal ung delay ng approval mo?

 

[DocRZ]

@HopefulAngel I still need that medical request from the embassy. I still have not received a reply from my previous email to the embassy stating that they will not receive my medical results since hindi ako makapagpamedical dahil wala pa akong request. Sunday ko pa naisend kaya lang until now walang reply.

 

[HopefulAngel]

@Royangel14: Thanks! Hmm. Di ko alam handling time ng online app eh. Here's my timeline:

Date Applied: June 04, 2013 (via online)
Meds Requested: June 11, 2013
Meds Done: June 19, 2013 (St. Luke's)
Meds Forwarded to CEM: July 19, 2013
Passport Requested: July 20, 2013
Passport forwarded: July 22, 2013 (via LBC to VFS Makati)

LOI received today. Still waiting for my passport to be returned.

@DocRZ: Sana magreply na sila para makapagpamedical exam ka na.

 

[DocRZ]

It's 1630 and still no reply. Another precious day gone...

HopefulAngel kelan alis mo paCanada? Ano sasakyan mong airline? Magkano?

 

[HopefulAngel]

Hi DocRZ,

Meron pa bang ibang means besides email to follow up like calling or going there? Sana magreply na sila para makapunta kana din. As for flights, baka Manila-Vancouver thru Cathay Pacific or PAL then Vancouver to Edmonton via Air Canada kaya lang mukhang West Jet ang meron. Baka between August 11 and August 16. Mas maganda daw maaga sabi nung friend ko para makapg-adjust daw before classes start. Kaya lang di ako makaalis earlier than that, inaasikaso ko pa mga nirerequire ng school. Super dami -_- hehe May suggestion ka ba dun sa flights? Yung mura sana? Salamat.
