    PINOY's pasok!

    Ganyan din ang nakita ko sa ecas nun. Standard message yata nila yan. Makakatanggap ka ng tawag or sulat galing sa immigrations tungkols sa Decision nila. Usually positive yan. Kasi pag may kulang ka, isasauli nila yung application mo sayo. In my case, 2 weeks after ko makita sa ecas yung...

    PINOY's pasok!

    Ok lang yan. Importante nagbayad ka na. Titignan lang naman nila dyan ang receipt number mo eh. Regarding ecas, pwede mo gamitin yung receipt number mo habang wala pa yung file number nyo. Di ko lang sure, pero di mo pa yata makikita yan sa ecas hanggat di pa nila nareceive yang application nyo.

    should i renew my passport so i can use my new surname?

    If your passport will not expire soon, I suggest not to renew it yet. In my case, I submitted my application last Dec 2009 and my passport was to expire Feb 2010 so I renewed my passport before submitting my application. However all of my records and travel documentation referred to my old...

    Destiny or coincidence... you decide: Nine years ago, I told a friend of mine that the next girl I'm gonna be in a relationship with will be my wife.

    Why such a big difference??????

    For inland application, it takes longer for the application to be processed but you get to spend your waiting time with your family. For outland application, the application is done faster but you have to endure time away from your family. I guess we can't really have it all. But for me, I'd...

    I can't believe it!!!!!!!!

    The application for permanent resident is the longer process. This is when they do the background checks, interview, etc. If you have submitted everything completely then it will be fast. If you lack some documents, then your papers will be returned to you for completion.

    PAYMENT QUESTION?????

    The right of permanent residency is different. You need to pay another $490. The total payment needed would be $1040.00. In our case we paid all of the fees before submitting the application. I believe your application would be processed faster if you it this way, because they do not need to...

    Canadian wife sponsoring South African husband and open work permit questions

    Hmmm... I know that there is no income requirement for spouse sponsorship, but I'm not sure about having your wife outside of Canada during the time of application. But I think I remember reading something about your case in the website. Try browsing the spouse sponsorship section in the website.

    Why such a big difference??????

    Here's an excerpt from the website: "Certain categories of applications are processed more quickly than others in order to meet public policy goals such as that of family reunification." Inland people are already united with their family, so they prioritize outland applications.
