I sent a follow up email to Manila VO they said that my husband’s application is currently queued for review of a migration officer. He received his pre-arrival letter on Feb9, we’re just waiting for BGC, DM and PPR. I hope this month we’ll receive an update.. We’re September applicant here.

Is it possible to have a vacation in our home country while waiting for my husband’s PR because I am having difficulty taking care of our 7-month twins. I have sisters here but they are also busy with her family they just help me if they have time..
I am his sponsor, not sure if it will affect our application.

Hello, is there any update on your application, i am the principal applicant, (September) background checking already started. How bout’ your? Btw manila visa office too.. thanks

Hi what I did 4 years ago, I listed all the stuffs per baggage, I made 3 columns (1st - item description, 2nd- Used or New, 3rd - amount in cad) most of my stuff are used and old items and the value are already depreciated so I put 1cad, for the new items I just converted to Canadian dollar..
When I was interviewed by the immigration officer in Vancouver, they told me how much money do I have/bring; where am I planning to live? he also asked me if it is in the south or north since i have no idea, i said i haven’t been there i don’t know if it is in the south or in north I just know the address of my brother and sister..
Regarding the list of goods he checked and asked like cellphone accessories, i told him that it includes charger, usb cable and etc..
After 10mins, we’re done.
That was 4 years ago, I am not sure now.. let’s wait for the reply from other members...

hey my wife is in vietnam too. she just got the pre-arrival email on may 4th, 2018.

we submitted the sponsorship on september 20th, 2017.

i think you will get your pre-arrival email soon. but even after that, it might be a few months before getting ppr.
Thank you for sharing, I'm very frustrated. It's still no news for me now. Congrats you! Hope you will reunion soon!

You should not be worried. Why are you? I am sure you know that an outland application could take up 12 month for DM if not longer!
There is no rule that says you can compare the applications together. Some applications take less then 6 month some 8 month and some more, we don't know what will happen to the application once it has been submitted. Some VOs are very very busy with PR applications hence the long wait! Some VOs are not busy like Ankara(Turkey) and really quiet and with so many officers, so they process the PR applications faster than any other VOs.

I know that London VO is unimaginably busy, as the receive applications not only from UK and Ireland, but also from so many other countries such as Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, etc..., so this will explain the long wait.

My Med was submitted in early November 2017 and I am still waiting! I don't think that you should be worried. I have learned that applicants can't do anything but to wait.

September applicants must be very patient as it seems like the process is really slow for them.

You may wanna share your timeline from ECAS.

God speed.
Thank you for encourage. It's almost 3 months more after Med and no news for me. I'm so much anxious if I will have an interview that is why my application take more time than the other. And also because the other people of Oct and even December application get their news so I'm very frustrated. Anyway, there is nothing I can do except waiting. I hope you will get good news soon too! Good luck to both of us!

We are still waiting too.

I ordered GCMS notes and sent another email asking for information.

I’m not sure why our application was delayed. I thought it was pretty strong as I was in contact with my wife for more than two years and travelled to meet her a couple timed before marrying in Vietnam.

Only issue I could see is that I don’t have any proof of sharing housing costs or financially supporting her as she is fine on her own.

When we submitted the application then I also filled out the paperwork to make me her representative.

Will they still mail her letters or call her? I’m starting to worry that we missed an important call or letter.

I think that pre arrival email is a good sign that they approve for your application already. And they are just checking your background. You will get next news soon. Don't worry. And they usually not call after sending the pre arrival letter. I think just wait one more month you will get the next instruction. I'm waiting for GCMS note too.

We are same, my husband not have any proof of his possession. We only have Western Union receipts that he sent money for me every month. And he visited me 3 times within 2 years we know each other. The only issue I think for us is the age gap. He is older than me.

I recently designated my husband is my representative because when we order the GCMS note they ask us have to indicate the representative who will get my information. So we did it.

I don't think they send your wife any email or coresspondence. Because all coresspondence will go into representative's address. And only GCMS note can tell us what happen with our application.

I'm worry if I missed any correspondence from Singapore VO too since I change address ( I notified them) and designated for my husband is my representative. I used to email to ask them but no reply. Tell me if you get their answer.
