Hello everyone... It's been really a while since nag-update or nag-reply ako dito sa forum thread. Ang dami kasi circumstances na nangyari sa akin, both good and bad. But sumisilip naman ako once in a while dito to look at updates. CONGRATULATIONS po sa lahat ng nabigyan ng visa.
Your journey for a better future for you and your family is now starting.
Now, I feel that I have the responsibility to get you all updated kung ano nangyari sa application since I was the one who started this thread (backread).
I'm a Feb. applicant, NOC 6212 (food service supervisor) bound suppose-to-be for Fort Saskatchewan, AB. My timeline is at

Sa tagal ng pag-aantay, it ended on a very sad note. My papers came back last November 12, DENIED... :'(
Reasons:
You have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada by the end of the period authorized for your stay. In reaching this decision, I considered several factors, including:
1. family ties
2. length of proposed stay
3. purpose of visit
4. current employment situation
I really don't understand where they got these reasons. isa-isahin ko:
1. family ties: Di ko kasama ang husband and kids ko sa application. My parents are PR in AB, Canada, my husband's maternal aunt (and her family) and brother are citizens. Minus factor ba ito?
2. length of proposed stay: syempre kung ano lang validity ng job offer sa akin. max of 24 mos. it will depend later on (if ever) if my employer will extend my contract or not.
3. purpose of visit: syempre to work. what else?
4. current employment situation: i just finished my contract as a resto manager when i filed my application last Feb. Ang current ko is self -employed. May trading business kami ng husband ko and we have 3 employees. So more or less, management parin.
3 kami na ini-sponsor ng employer: 1 cook, 1 FCA and 1 supervisor. We filed our application separately kasi di naman kami magkaka-kilala. I just learned from my employer this information recently. Sad news is, lahat kami denied. My employer said that she is studying the situation and might file for a petition...
Again, the best that I can do here is to take this challenge positively. God answered my prayers, His answer is "No" or maybe "Not yet." We have to keep in mind though that God's gift to us is always good. He has better plans for me and my family for sure... So sa lahat ng na-deny, let's not despair.
Best of luck sa lahat ng waiting. :-*
