yup... i will go exit this april 5.. and i will just wait the result of my application in the philippines..

Are you sure? I've read some post in this thread that if your point of entry is Philippines, you must pass by POLO, POEA, etc. THis will be another waiting game for you. Your employer must comply with what this agency is asking so that the POEA could issue you an OEC. Goodluck!

I cant find the update/message in mycic account. This is so frustrating! Haha nakakaloka pala uung ganito!

-anyone? What to do? How can i view/find that update? :D
hi! do you have an email address of cic in riyadh? if you cannot view the status of your application then you try to send an email to riyadh.visa@international.gc.ca (on my case i applied thru vac in jeddah, i passed my documents last november 11 and i received an email last january 26 and they sent by courier the additional form for LCP, police cert. request form and employer additional information form. I was on vacation in philippines at that time and luckily i was able to get a green nbi clearance from there. They also need income tax notice of assessment, ITR of employer and other notarized declaration from the employer. They don't need the nbi clearance i took from phil. embassy jeddah and also the police cert was expired already because i took it last october. What they wanted was, we should wait for their request before processing the police cert. As of present, my additional documents are under process in visa section embassy of canada riyadh. I had finished my medical last march 4. Good luck to all f us!

-i passed my application onlinr.. after i paid the processing fee the cic send me an email confirming that they have recieved my application. It happened on the same day i submitted my application. Then the day after i received an email again stating that my application has been updated and i must log in to mycic and check my status and messages but then after i logged in there's no update or message in mycic... up until now nothing is new. I also tried to logged in using a computer to check but its still the same...

-i want to know whats the update...

-i already passed the income tax/notice of assessment of my employer in my application.. i included it under the dilocument LCP-financial means of the employer...

-do you think they will answer if i'll send an email to that address?

hi pinkulotz...14/3 2014 you started your application so inshallah if 2-3 months processing time then by june you will be in canada? :)fingers crossed.. anyway do you plan to fly from here in saudi to canada? because for me im thinking that case also..but i dont know hows that possible. i would love to keep in touch with you for the reason that same LCP and 2014 applicant..youre way advance than me coz you got positive LMO already... thanks again... ;)

-my employer wants me to be there by May :D im really praying hard for that. :D and yeah im planning to go straight to canada from here. It is possible as long as you are cleared from the immigration and dont have any liabilities here in the kingdom and you have your exit visa plus your visa to canada. Most of the applicants done this already. From Saudi to Canada... coz if tou will go back to phil.there are some additional process that you have to complter before you can fly to Canada.
 
efazilian said:

Oct 2014. I've been sending mails to our embassy but then they are advising me to apply for an extension instead of waiting for the new passport if I am in a hurry. Extension of the validity of the passport is only good for another year. SO maybe its a better choice to just wait for the arrival of my new passport.

-ayt. Im thinking kasi if you can send your application even if your passort is about to expired since it is still valid until oct.2014... maybe you can include a note saying that your passport is currently on renewal process.. though im not sure if it is possible coz i havent read anything that its not allowed to submit your application if your passport is about to expire. Renewal is a month process lang naman so definitely you have your already have your new passport by the time they will request for your passport... :D

-end contract is August 2014? I think you dont need to resign if your contract will end this year... if your visa got approved earlier, you can just go early exit... no need to resign... the time for your application until the expiration of your contract is already enough... it will be easier if we'll not go back to pinas.. no need for POLO, OWWA and POEA.. haha
