SPOUSE / FAMILY CLASS timeline MANILA Visa Office PHILIPPINES

[msg]

Hi guys, I am new here. I never thought there was a forum for applicants in the Philippines. My wife and I got married last Feb 2011 and she submitted my papers last month. I think it was June 10 or so when the documents were received by the office in Mississauga.

I hope my papers gets processed right away  

I will be going to Winnipeg btw. One year na wife ko nandun.

[mrsh]

Congrats to all DM. Happy for you guys! And to those who are still waiting, God knows your desire and he will never fai you. God bless po.

Miga - thanks! Yeah wait lang ng wait, nagpapaka busy nalang ako sa mga activities ko dito sa Pinas with family and friends. Sana wala ng aberya, na mimiss ko na misis ko 

Yun officemate namin same scenario sa amin, it took him 9 mos yata bago siya naka alis pero 7 mos lang dapat pero he chose to stay muna ng two months pa dito before finally flying to Canada.

Mag babasa basa na lang muna ako in the meantime para ma familiarize ko sarili ko sa mga dapat gawin and expect.

compilation yan ng mga tinatanong dito na sinagot ng mga seniors at tapos na sa waiting game.
Baka yung friend mo ay dependent ng asawa niya sa PR application nito kaya sabay application nila.

                  Continuation of B: To renew or apply for passport at Department of Foreign Affairs
                                             (DFA) certificate from Seminar B is required

**To avoid delay of visa processing, make sure all fees were paid, and all documents were submited.

**Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF). If this fee is not paid with the application,  Canadian Embassy Manila will first contact you to send you a letter to tell you to pay. The letter goes to the person being sponsored but the fees have to be paid by the sponsor themselves. You then pay your fees online or at a bank and have to send the proof to CPC-Missassauga. Then CPC-M sends notice to the CEM that it was paid.
                                     It takes time to get back to you to tell that the fees are paid. So it does slow down the process quite a bit. Failure to pay the fee at the time of submission of the application will result in a minimum additional two-month delay in the finalization of the application according to http://www.cnn1.net/pdf_forms/3900E.pdf

Additional documents usually requested by the embassy:
                              1. AOM (Advisory on Marriage) from NSO- different from Marriage Certificate; should be submitted at CPC-Missassauga together with other required documents at Country Specific Instructions-Philippines http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3905e.pdf
                                 2. Divorce Petition- different from Divorce Certificate; usually requested from Filipino sponsors who are divorced based on experiences of posters in this forum. (For natural-born Canadian sponsors who are divorced,  seems that they don't ask from you, but pls confirm at CEM)
                                 3. Appendix A- or Additional Family Information; though submitted previously, they will still ask a copy; the letter usually comes with the AOR/PPR
                                 4. Detailed statement of relationship with the EX (notarized)- for sponsored person with a child from their ex. Sometimes you are required to submit:  Ex's I.D, a notarized letter stating the ex allows the child to be sponsored, or other document asked by the visa officer.
