hi Raniloc, Bullet85,

Just a short query.

Based on your experience, did the mailing address appears in both the sponsor's UCI ECAS status and on the Principal applicant's UCI status?

Thanks.

In my case Yes. Sponsor and applicant (me) show the same address in ECAS.

[fireflyers]

Thanks Raniloc.

I am just curious and wondering because my UCI page as the applicant does not have the mailing address. I hope it is a good sign..hehe

Thanks.

[livelife]

hi fireflyers,

ah ganun pala yan...nag double check ako sa status ko, meron din naman yung address ko.

itanong kaya natin sa ibang forum mates if the same ba ang experience nila or normal lang kaya yan?

Yes, your wife will be required to attend GCS (Guidance Counseling Seminar) since you're a Canadian citizen. She will be given a yellow certificate. This certificate serves as a proof that your wife attended the seminar.

After the seminar, your wife needs to go to the CFO office for the sticker. Your wife needs to provide the following before they stamp a CFO sticker in your wife's passport.

1. Photocopy of the GCS certificate
2. Photocopy of the photo page of her passport
3. Photocopy of the Visa
4. Photocopy of the COPR
5. Pay the fee 400pesos.

If she's still waiting for the her visa, she can STILL Attend the GCS training in advance...She will on be given a yellow certificate after the seminar.. The CFO sticker to follow once she already have her visa.  

Please CLick the FAQ link below.. if you have any further questions.

hello sa lahat,

Bago lang ako dito. Finally, nakita ko ang forum na ito. And dami kong nabasa sa forum, mahaba haba na pala.

Medyo iba yung case ko. Bale, conjugal application yung ginawa ng partner ko kasi married pa ako dito sa Pinas. Nakakalungkot at masaya din kasi buntis ako. Yung ama ay yung Canadian partner ko. He is worried baka my husband will file a case of adultery for me. So, we tried to be much in a hurry for our application.

Na send yung application namin:

October 13 - sent to CIC Mis
Sponsorship approved - December 27 something
PPR - January 16, 2012
sent - January 17, 2012

Until now, it is Application Received pa ang status.

May the same case po ba sa akin?

Salamat.

Hi were on the same boat but I'm not pregnant. Ako din I sent my pp last dec 27 and till now application received pa din I think since we are on the conjugal route we tend to have a longer process. Just hang on and have faith.

Matagal na kasi akong kumuha ng GCS... yellow yung color ng certificate na binigay. Sa Manila ako kumuha along Taft Avenue sa taas ng BDO building in front of La Salle.   It seems the certificate color varies kung san ka nag take ng GCS..

Yes, may sticker sa passport ng CFO na naka dryseal.   

[raniloc]

Thanks Raniloc.

Thanks.

It happens... nawawala yung address sa ecas ng applicant... some say ginagalaw yung papers.. others naman system glitch lang or updating ng system... But I noticed based from my experience... system updating lang ang ginagawa kung almost lahat ng may account sa ECAS eh nawala... but dun sa iba... after nawala yung address then nung bumalik DM na sila...  Case to case basis lang naman... hindi lahat applicable sa atin since iba-iba ang situation ng application nyo..  

[thyreece]

ahhhh, ok hayy salamat, tama ung nilagay ko, may nagpost kc na hnd daw dapat ilagay, kaya eto ako tanong ng tanong, how's ur application thyreece?

ok naman pero wala pang notofication ang CIC na nareceive na nla application namin..

congratz, yung sinend nila na letter sa march 14, cguro yan na yung PPR para sa husband mo.. anyways Goodluck po sa ating lahat and God bless us all.

[silverfox]

ay ganun ba? akala ko sponsor approval letter pa lang yun. pero ok na rin kung ppr na kaagad. thanks so much!

isang beses lng kasi ako naka tanggap nang letter mula sa canadian embassy, yung PPR lang. kaya cguro yun na yun. kaso matatagalan yan kasi snail mail yan nila isesend (post office).

Hello po, hingin ko po sana opinion nyo regarding sa application ko.

PPR na po ako nung December 17 (Sept 1 submitted). Nakakuha ako ng TRV para magvacation sa misis ko sa Alberta during the Christmas break so nasa Canada na ko nung dumating yung PPR ko sa bahay. In addition, nagrequest sakin ng FBI clearance kasabay nung PPR. Umuwi ako sa Pinas ng January 6, within the week sinubmit ko yung PPR and addtl documents except the FBI clearance, which is nasubmit ko nung March 9 lang.

In process na po ako sa eCAS since December 28, tapos po last week ng Monday, nagkaroon po ng 'medical have been received'. Sa estimate nyo po, granting na wala na kong kulang na requirements sa kanila, how many more weeks typically before I receive my visa, or at least a DM sa eCAS?

Pregnant na po kasi si misis (15 weeks) and gusto nya makaalis na ko within the week na dumating ang visa ko. Ang problem is kelangan ko ng 30 day notice sa work for resignation. So naiisipan namin magpass na ko ng resignation today or this week (so effective April 19 or 20 yung resignation ko). Yun ang tanung, based sa mga typical timelines, safe po ba for me to assume that my visa would be in my hands around the 3rd or 4th week of April? 

Thanks po in advance, sorry sa long post.

IF CEM did not ask for anything more other than your passport then... your processing time would be shorter...  But then again.. We dont really know what is happening during visa processing.  Something might cause delay along the way...  In my case, I resigned after I receive the Visa.
