SPOUSE / FAMILY CLASS timeline MANILA Visa Office PHILIPPINES

[nester]

Hi everyone!!! I've been in this forum for quite sometime already. Everyday I've been reading different stories and advices. Can anyone patiently explain in a very simple way the process of this spousal sponsorship? We hired a representative from Canada just to make sure that we wont miss anything and everything will go smoothly. It seems that some people with similar timeline as mine, got their PPR already..even those who had their spousal sponsorship approved later than mine...

As you can see in my timeline, we filed our application last week of September and was received by CIC on October 3rd. Our spousal sponsorship was approved last December 12th. Next should be PPR....I'm waiting.

My questions are the these:

1. Lately, whats the average time will the CEM sends PPR from the day our spousal sponsorship was approved?

2. Where will the PPR be send? Directly to me, here the Philippines because I'm here or in Canada because our representative is there?

3. What way will the PPR be send?  Through my email? my representatives' email? Snail mail to me or Snail mail to our representative in Canada?

4. When I get my PPR? What do they request me to send them??? Just my passport alone?

5. After I send to them my Passport, whats the average time to wait until they make their decision?

6. Once they decide on the matter, how long will they send our visa?

Thanks so much... really appreciate it if someone can clarify everything in a simple manner... I tried reading all the messages in the forum but it seems like fixing the puzzle to get an idea. hehehe.

The appointed representative of the sponsor does not automatically make him a representative of the sponsored person. So if you did not appoint one, CEM will  communicate with you directly. You and your sponsor are separate applicants... your sponsor for the sponsorship application, and you for permanent residence application.

After approval of the sponsorship, transaction will shift between you and CEM for the PPR and other documents they may require. Beforehand, it was between CIC and your sponsor. The e-cas of the sponsor will show "decision made".

It is really hard to tell where the bottleneck is unless you are sure that CEM has already received the advice from CIC. What is sure is that they have a timetable of some 10 months (pls chk this from website) although in many cases last year, much much sooner than that.

The additional documents such as Appendix A and additional information are very simple, you don't have to worry about that. Most of the info will be copied from those previously submitted. it is very important though, that you have copies of what your sponsor submitted so that you do not run into conflicting statements.

Hello,

Puwede po bang mag tanong sa inyong lahat ...

Pano po kayo ini-inform ng embassy pag DM na kayo? sa ecas ba? or thru email lang?

Or thru DHL para i-pick-up ang passport?

Thank you po sa advice.

In my case sa Ecas. Then after 5 days dumating na ang Visa. Parang wala pa akong nakitang ininform ang applicant na DM via Email. Dhl ang talaga ang official courier may mga cases na pick kapag malapit ka lang sa branch office nila pero pag malayo talagang ihahatid nila yun sayo.

Good day po sa lahat, ask ko lng po dito po ako sa alberta gusto ko po sanang isponsor ang asawa ko ano po kailangan kung mga requirement para makasama ko sya dto, PR Holder po ako... tnx po.

Hi. punta ka sa website cic.gc.ca then find family sponsorship then sa spouse. Makikita mo na ang lahat ng instructions and guides to answer all your questions.  Best of luck and God bless.

punta ka sa website ng CSMLS..reqmts nila dpat i-mail ng university mo directly sa kanila ang transcripts mo and pati ung internship certificates. hnd pwede ung ikaw ang  magsubmit sa knila..sa WES ako ngpa-assess ng credentials ko, kasama din un sa reqmts.

it's a long process kaya better start now, then pag nacomplete mo na lhat, ssbhan ka ng CSMLS what additional courses are required then after mo macomplete un pwde ka na mag certification exam.

tip pala sa exam is to focus on laboratory safety, dun ako bumagsak nung 1st try ko..wla naman kc non masyado sa pinas.hehe

good luck!

Bale ung courses, oo it took me a yr kase mahal naman ang bayad per course and they (CSMLS) give you 2 yrs naman para matapos mo lahat ng courses na need mo ma-complete.so nagipon pa ako.hehe

Kapa-pass ko lng ng exam last oct 2011 and just got my certificate 2 weeks ago, so right now job hunting..

just here if you have more questions.

good luck

September ako ng file ng app. October ka di ba? But meron ngang ngkavisa na ng October at sa September wala pa. Sige lang wait ka lang. Kailan ba naapprove sponsor? or if u want check ka sa post office nyo taga saan ka ba malapit lang kasi ako nakatira sa CEM

[rizannedy023]

Dadating na rin yun sayo..1 week apart lang ang difference natin..continue praying and keep up positive..sa min i actually wrote email inquiry pero wala naman akong nakuhang response kundi automated email reply lang ng CEM saying they would not respond to give updates on application that is within the average processing period..
