SPOUSE / FAMILY CLASS timeline MANILA Visa Office PHILIPPINES

[TigerLilly]

hi tigerlily ano daw po ang cause ng pagka deny dun sa kakilala mo? katakot may ganun pla, i thought pag DM ka eh 100% sure na, yun pala may ntuturn down din...

Sorry Jovy,di na niya sinabi sa akin. Di ko na rin inusisa kasi she was so down na.
Rest assured na very very slim ang chance of being denied. So far dito sa thread na ito eh 100% ng mga naDM eh visa na sumunod. Waiting period/processing time lang ang nagkakaiba.

here sis affable....i opted for air canada website for carry on luggage 

http://www.aircanada.com/en/travelinfo/airport/baggage/carry-on.html


usually ang items sa hand carry bag/luggage are....a change of clothing (pants/skirt/dress/shirt,undies,socks and a light jacket/ sweater...malamig sa eroplano )....personal grooming stuff (comb,make-ups,toiletries etc),a little snack (crackers/biscuits..no drinks) and documents that you will need going thru airports and CIC ( if you're not planning to bring a purse). Yung ibang do's and don'ts sa carry on is on that website  na.....have a safe trip!!!! God bless you on your journey!

Let me sort this one by one... Do you mean to say, your Aunt submitted an sponsorship application having  you as the sponsored person? and you are claimed to be an orphaned in the application that she submitted? 

In my opinion,  only the immediate family can be sponsored meaning your Aunt's husband and their children. In your case, you're her niece... 
to validate the sponsorship application she declared you as an orphaned in the application.   IF this is the case, then she should have a supporting papers that will prove you are an orphaned and she legally adopted you as her child.

eligible po ba ko because she has not sponsored anyone yet? Eh how about po yung fact na canadian citizen po yung kids at hubby nya?
Hindi po ako sponsored as an orphan.

Any other person with whom you have family relationship IF you do not have a spouse, son, daughter, mother, father, brother, sister, grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, niece or nephew who is a Canadian citizen, registered Indian or permanent resident or whom you may sponsor.

Kahit ako lang po alone can be sponsored under immigrant's visa? without my mom and di na ko mag dedependent visa?
18 years old na po ako turning 19 sa march. magmamatter din po ba ang age?
Salamat po talaga

   @    PARANOID ...it's seems you really paranoid of this concerns...I agree to sis MLVill...under FC pwede i-sponsor ang niece, nephew, & other family relatives...I remember my sisters' bestfriend had the same case after she was graduated College her Aunt sponsor her also in Canada and right now she's having her own family...so, no problem if you are orphan or what...I have question, hope you dont mind...what things makes you bothered?

About traveling alone, it doesn't matter...for sure by the time they approve your application you qualified enough in terms of age...you're not minor anymore...so no need the DSWD certificate to travel...
