 @ halord

minsan meron talaga ecas na di nagbabago kahit natanggap na nila visa...kaya minsan mahirap din magrely sa ecas..basta na lang dadating visa

it would change once they'll process your application na.... others don't change into in process.... other would change from application received to DM na kaagad... ung iba narereceive nalang ung visa nila without any changes sa ecas nila..... case to case basis lang talaga!

[January]

goodmorning everyone!!! any good news? raining DM later! lol..

hi girl! pagod na dw ung asawa ko sa kakatingin ng "application received" everytime magchecheck siya ng ecase ko... now alam na nya ung feeling ko dati nong ako pa  ung nagchecheck... hahahah!

[aginaya]

wow im happy for you aginaya.. sa akin ganun parin.... sana wal naming interview

@  bdo32

thanks girl! diba ganun din ang nakalagay sa ecas mo? or application received pa rin yun sayo? post mo nga ulit girl yun ecas mo..thanks!

[aginaya]

 @  halord

@  halord

yup, thats right! yan ang isang reason for depression ng mga nagaantay dito, kasi hindi mo alam ang nangyayari sa application mo, kasi nga hindi sila agad nagbibigay ng updates. madalas nangugulat na lang sila. bigla na lang magchachange yan ecas mo. ako nga nagchange bigla eh pero binitin pa rin nila ako..haha..patience lang..basta hindi pa naman umaabot ng 6 months application mo nasa normal pa ang takbo nya.

[aginaya]

hi girl! pagod na dw ung asawa ko sa kakatingin ng "application received" everytime magchecheck siya ng ecase ko... now alam na nya ung feeling ko dati nong ako pa  ung nagchecheck... hahahah!

@  January

haha, ganyan din asawa ko. sya na kasi nagchecheck palagi ngayon mula nung hindi ko na ma-take! haha. sabi ko ikaw na nga lang magcheck baka mas swerte ka. tapos ganun na nga ang nangyari, nagchange din nun sya na ang nagcheck. sana yun next na check nya DM naman na..parang lalo akong hindi makatulog ngayon. hindi ko alam kung magsasaya na ba ako kasi naging in process na or wag muna kasi hindi pa naman DM. haist! konting tiis pa. maDDM din yan, magsasawa din yan ecas..hahaha.. wait mo lang konti pa..lalabas din yan.

[ischie]

hi po,

matulungan nyo po sana ako sa pagprepare ng mga needed documents for our application. magsusubmit pa lng po kami ngaung july. Ano po mga need ng sponsor? Saka po may nagsabi sa akin na dapat nasa pilipinas ung asawa ko once naprocess ung application nya. pwede ba na dito muna sya sa SG ngwowork hanggat dumating ung time na may hingin sa kanya requirements or ung passport nya saka sya uuwi asap?

maraming salamat!

  @    ischie

hi ischie! yes i think ok lang kahit nasa singapore asawa mo while processing. pero kung ano address na nilagay mo sa application dun nila isesend passport/visa mo. so kaya nila nirerequest na dapat nasa country ka where your application is being processed. saka pag kinuha na nila passport mo. i am not just sure kung pwede ipasend yun sa ibang country. meron mga iba dito sa forum nasa canada sila pero dito sa pilipinas nila pinaprocess ang application kasi mas mabilis dito compared sa other countries. like kung dyan sa singapore that would take approximately 20 months. dito 9 months lang, but normally in 6 months time meron na visa.

this is the link on how to apply:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/spouse-apply-how.asp#step2

this is the link where you can get all the forms that you'll be needing for sponsorship or you can also ask a complete package of guidelines and forms from cic. just like what my husband did.

hope this helps.. goodluck!

[aginaya]

guys i just want to share what i have read, one factor that can slow down processing:

inquiring about the status of your application before the standard processing time has elapsed. so it's true! yay! maybe that is the reason bakit nagtagal ang processing ng application ko kasi i have emailed them 2 months ago.. but i just asked about the additional document and not my status..that's sad..but anyways, the waiting is almost over!

so guys, don't call or email them..yeah it's hard that you dont know what's happening but i guess its sadder to know that the reason why your application was delayed is because of your own action..

[sideangel85]

Good evening guys!..may na DM na ba since kahapon?...hi aginaya!..i received your pm sa ym  ... and i got micah added on my fb din!..ALL is WELL!

[aginaya]
