Hi po. We are an MI1 applicant. Yung mga kasabayan namin na nagpamedical ng before september last year and december, january, they got their pprs na early feb. Some of them have visas na rin.  Based on my observation this year, mvo started giving pprs sa mga pre MI1. Then MI3 and Mi2 and MI1 halos sabay na.  Kaming mga nag medical ng september to november, naiwanan nal walang pprs.   napansin naman natin na in groups talaga sila magbigay. May theory ako na kaya sila tumigil sa pagbigay ng ppr  and feeling ko until march pa ito because they already used up their quota for the first quarter. Even their release of visas medyo hininto na nila this week. Ang palagay ko, theymight give out again sa april ang pprs tapos delay nila ng konti ang visa. Otherwise, sasagarin nila by may ang ppr then issue agad agad ang visas.  Parang ganyan nangyari last year eh. May early round of pprs and visas ng mga feb-mar then may-june meron din.may second wave of visas yan na usually will cover mga tapos na medical kasi by june or july, my new MI na naman.  Tapos paisa-isa na ang ppr and visas.

Its a good sign na they are working na for family sponsored ones.  Tapos balik na naman yan sa mga MI.  I think they are caught din with the requirement to issue the visas within the one year period from medical eh.  The latest na nabasa ko, na-issue ang visa on the 9th month from initial medical.

On my part, mag6th month na ang medical namin sa march 19. Pero since di pa siguro sila ready to hand out pprs kasi di pa turn ng group ko, baka hindi sila sumunod sa 6 months na sinabi nila to issue a ppr.  Pero basta I am holding on to the experience f many of the 'EXPERTS' sa forums na ito na 1 year from medical. 

Btw, sa MI1, may mga naiwan sa aming wlang medical pa and now pa lang nag 'in process' status nila sa ecas. Give it 3 months for the investigation of their credentials, tapos medical na rin sila. But i think the mvo will stretch them to at least a number na kaya nilang mabigyan ng visa within this year.  Sabi sa coa, 30,000 daw ang visas for philippines this year eh.

I think the MI3 Applicants will have priority talaga. Kaso baka hindi rin sya ganong karami kaya it appears na nsasabayan na rin ng MI1 and MI2. 

As to Ciip, naku, very helpful. Attend na kayo.  libre naman sya eh. 

hello smile, thanks for the reply..maganda nga pag isipan ang mga reasons why theres no ppr issuance since Feb 2..anyways, tanong ko lang ilan ba ang quota ng mvo pag 1st quarter?(Jan-March)..filled up na ba yun?so tama nga yun hinala ng iba na walang ppr this march kundi april na..sana april na..yep konti lang naman ang mi3 ng mvo kaya siguro ganun..kasi kung tutuusin puro mga indians ang nakakuha ng cap sa mi3..sa tingin ko mga 1000+ lang ang nakuhang cap ng mga pinoys sa MI3..sana kahit july-sept,2012 they will work out parin in giving visas kasi submission palang naman ng mi4 niyan sa nova scotia..


anyways, sa mi3 po nakasulat sa medical notice namin na..wait at least 45days to 90 days from medical letter date to passport request..so I think magkaiba yun timeline talaga ng mga mi..

mi2 is 3-6mos,mi1 is 8-12mos (accoring to what I read somewhere)..but I am not sure, nevertheless , baka isabay sabay na nila this April since konti lang naman ang cap ng mi3 sa mvo..30k ba ang quota ng mvo the entire 2012? thanks po for the idea..at least, this is to prepare us from any frustration this march..

May nabasa ako na mga quotas. Hindi naman sya per quarter nakasulat don yearly. 19000 plus plus ang alloted sa manila. Double ang sa london and bufalo pero kasi sila they cater to many countries. Pero sabi sa naattendan namin na seminar, mga 30000 daw ang nakakaalis sa philippines.

Naisip ko lang na puno na ang 1st quarter kasi they want din sana na medyo spread out ang pagbibigay. Pero, as i have said, meron silang due date na 1 year from medical.  Kasi kung tutuusin, kung lahat bibigyan na nila ng early eh baka half pa lang ng year, ubos na quota nila.  ;-)  last year 2011, they kept working pa rin naman sa mga pre cut off or before the new MI kasi nga syempre new applicants document assessment and submission pa. Pero matumal pa yon. Para bang pinupuno na lang ang quota.  What happened kasi yun 2010 apps before june, 95k ang nagapply worldwide. Super dami namin MI1 kaya naoverwhelmed sila. Nagcut off sila ng 20K noong june 2010. Tapos july 2011, 10k na lang kayo kasi gusto na rin nila matapos ang MI1. So now, ang dating halos sabay sabay na ang MIs pero in reality, mabilis talaga MI3 kasi less than 1 year pa lang application nyo samantalang 2 years na kami and ung iba pa sa amin, baka abutin ng 3 years.

Yung case namin,  medical request kami sept and sabi wait for 3-6 months. Kayo, 45 days to 3 months from january medical ata. Normal yun kasi yung mga nakachat namin na MI3 and MI2 last year, they started na 45 days din. Eh konti lang sila kaya nagkasabay na sila with the other MIs.  Sayo ko pa lang narinig yung 8-12 months from medical request. Mvo yon? Parang unfair ata na paabutin ng 12 months pa kasi papaso na medical eh di mag remedical ka na. Dagdag gastos na naman yon. 

Madami pa yang lalaabas hanggang second quarter. Hahaha. Malamang april to may yang ppr. Kung april, baka waiting time for visa eh 1 month. Kung may, baka 2 weeks lang ang visa. Naremember ko last year, hanggang july umuulan ng visa eh. Pero comfort thinking na lang na ang pinakalate na nakita ko sa regular admission, 9 months from medical lumabas ang visa nya. Dadating dinyan. Super nakakainip and nakakainis diba. Parang dapatakasama kami sa cutoff churva. Oh well, unpredictable din kasi mvoeh. Minsan dami dami tapos biglang stop. Kaloka! Hahahaha.  Basta darating din yan. Hehehe.

Btw, may thread na manila vo after medicak request and waiing for ppr. May table dun sa mga waiting talaga for ppr. Baka pwede pls sulat kayo don. Halo halo naman yon eh. At least makikita natin ang trend. Salamat.

It seems yung file number mo dati applicable pa din dun sa 2012 app mo? Ask ko lang if it's ok, why did you re-apply? May AOR ka na naman na doon sa previous. Hindi kaya kinancel nila yung 2012 application then proceeded to complete the 2007 one? Not sure, though.  

[pinay_4200]

hello po sa lahat... i have been reading a lot of good topics in this forum super helpful mga inputs, congrats to all nag ka mr!

No actually, i decided to re-apply again kasi pwede naman daw simultaneous i-process yung application ko. saka baka abutin kasi ng 6-8years ang waiting time ko pag hinintay ko yung 2007 application ko. saka mas mabilis kasi yung MI-3 diba. sana nga good news pa din. til now wla pa po ako PER or NER man lang. hayyy buhay... sana may same case ako jan... pls share naman ,mga kababayan

[ichoseus]

Warm greetings to all!  I posted my application last March 6,2012 thru DHL express courier & was received by MIKE yesterday March 12,2012. We earnestly pray for PER soon & may the Lord grant our heart's desire.


Special thanks to Kazu & hunhun for suggestions & advise. God bless you richly!

[kazuhirowatanabe_30]

rey,

congrats! i hope OK na lahat bago mo na-send.
all the best!

[ichoseus]

Thanks Kazu!  ni-review kong mabuti checklists & instruction guide bago ko i-send so i just hope na wala nako na miss out. By d way, hindi ko na pal sinama sa application package ko ung mga hindi applicable saken gaya ng •Use of a Representative (IMM 5476), if applicable. (PDF, 55 KB),•   Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union (IMM 5409) (PDF, 19 KB) & •Separation Declaration for Minors Traveling to Canada (IMM 5604) (PDF, 21 KB). Tama ba ito?

thanks!

Pinay, Yung address nag de disappear yan, normal lang...mine and others also.  Ano ba status ng ECAS mo? Inside ng "In Process" it shows, we received your application on.....? Sabi mo yung ecas mo nasa....WE STARTED PROCESSING YOUR APPLICATION KANA....but now has been disappeared. Nasa stage kana that VO verifying all your docs, if no problem sa docs what reason e refuse ka nila. Ang alam ko pag ni refuse ng VO applicant binabago nila ang status ng ECAS, enstead, "In Process" naging Decission Made ang ECAS ka agad.


Nag ask din sa akin ang VO consent letter Feb. 5 via email, ka agad binigay ko thru my consultant, Feb. 6 na received ng VO, after 1 week nag verify sila sa school ko, February 26 nag email ang school ko sa VO. Then, additional line sa ecas ko, We started processing your application on March 5. Sana naka help. God bless sa lahat.
