hi halord!..sa pagkakaalam ko lng din sa mga post nila MP means Members of Parliament. Ang bawat lugar sa canada ay may naka assign na MP. Since nasa family class application tayo, they will contact the CEM to verify kung ano na ang progress ng application natin..kung sa palagay nating matagal nang nakasalang ang papers natin and parang walang progress pero ok nman ang papel na sinumete natin pwede tayong humingi ng tulong sa kanila para maasikaso ang application at mapadali ang pag grant ng visa.

NOTES:

* passport that has maiden name on it can still be used as long as its not soon to expire and make sure it matches the information on  
   your application.
* The DMP will give you (original) copy 2  of the medical report that you need to include with your application. copy 1 will be sent by the
   DMP to the appropriate medical office for processing.


REMINDERS: (DO'S AND DONT'S)

* inquiring about the status of your application before the standard processing time has elapsed will slow down the processing of your
   application.
* for those who needs fingerprinting for fbi police certificate, better go to crame (investigation and crime laboratories) because they are
   the one that's expert in finger printing and send atleast 2-3 copies of your fingerprint forms to avoid re-finger printing if it's not clear.   * make sure you have your AOM ready incase CEM asked for it.
* make sure you pay all the fess to avoid delay on processing.
* make sure to have your medical result on or before submitting your application.
* 9 recent photos submitted must be properly labeled at the back with the applicant's name, DOB and signature.
* make sure to print out the registration form and fill it out before going for CFO seminar to save time in line.


NORMAL TIMELINES:  processing times in months is 9 months but based on the previous applicants timelines this is how it goes.

* assessment of sponsor/sponsor get DM: within 42 days
* PP request/addt'l documents request: after a month from the date the sponsor got DM
* 2-4 months waiting time from the date of the pp sent before ecas changes
* ecas changes to in process and then DM after the said waiting time
* medical result received and DM usually comes few days after in process; but some will have in process for 2-4 months and gets DM;
   some gets visa first before getting DM from in process status.


ECAS:

* Medical result received status will appear on ecas once or twice. If you   submitted your medical result prior to your application, it will
   appear on   your ecas first before application received or during the first month of your application and then in just a few days it will be
   removed on your   ecas. if it again appeared on your ecas 2-4 months after your pp submission then you'll probably get DM within that
   month or not later than the next month, if everything goes well.


ABOUT THE CFO SEMINAR:

* As Filipinos going abroad as fiancé(e)s, spouses or other partners of foreign nationals, you are required to attend the CFO's guidance  
   and counseling session in order to secure the Guidance and Counseling Certificate (GCC) and the CFO sticker.
* You also need this certificate to renew or apply for a new passport at the Department of Foreign Affairs
