Lord, naku, walang katapusang paghihintay. Talagang clueless na clueless ang 2011 batch. Give us a sign Lord. Maawa ka naman Lord. The waiting is really testing all the patience left in us.

Hi ludovick i sure do feel and understand the frustrations your going through. This was one of the hardest processes i have ever had to go through and it sure changed my views of immigration and the sacrifices people must do just to come to canada. I really wish the process was more open for us to see what stage of our application they are working on and updated weekly with real updates, not leaving us guessing and waiting for months.

I sooooo hate the feeling of someone else being in control of my families future and it was very hard for me to be able to swallow my pride and let some government worker (that our taxes pay their wages), tell me if my wife and partner of 4 years could live with me. The government is supposed to be working for us, its citizens not making all these delays and problems and heartaches. I love Canada and its a wonderful country that i will always be proud of, but there sure is some improvement to be made with this immigration system we have.

I understand we need strict immigration but when all we really have to prove for a spousal visa is genuine relationship, no medical problems and no criminal history than there is absolutely no way it should take this long.

What kept me going was reading how the manila office has a 93% approval rating, and knowing my wife was the most important part of my life and i would do anything or wait any amount of time for us to be together.

I am sure you and most others feel the same of your own spouses and my hat goes off to everyone having to go through this process for their loved ones. I truly wish you and all others a fast quick processing time to be reunited with your families.
Thank you for your inspiring post! I surely wish that the visas for our spouses get released soon so we can get started with our lives here in Canada. Congratulations and best of luck on your future together!

Good evening po. I have one major concern po I hope somebody could help me. April applicant po ako and as of now wala pa kaming natatanggap na approval (sponsor). Gusto ko po sana verify if pwede bang lumipat ng work yun husband ko (which is my sponsor) from his regular job of 40 hrs to a different company kahit na yun certificate of employment na ipinasa namin ay sa company na kung saan ay may balak sya mag resign. Maapektuhan po ba ang background assessment nya if ever he decides to transfer workplace? TY po sa makakatulong... :'(

Don't worry, it won't affect his sponsorship. As long as he doesn't file for welfare, ok lang. You don't even need to update CIC about it. :)

PLS HELP!

I got my PPR today. CEM is asking for NSO marriage certificate and Advisory on Marriage as additional docs.
I didn't get married in the Philippines but in Toronto last November. I had a previous marriage but annulled in 2009. When i requested for advisory on marriage early this year, it turned out that my annotation on marriage is still in process so it reflected the same AOM. What docs will I submit to CEM if it's still in process with NSO?
I plan to submit my previous NSO marriage certificate with my current Canadian Marriage certificate authenticated by Philippine Embassy in Toronto. Would that be all right? As for my AOM, would it suffice if I
re-submit an affidavit stating that annotation of my previous marriage is still in process with NSO?

PLEASE HELP! Thanks!
sis, ask ka ng advice sa lawyer dito sa Philippines , kasi it looks like you haven`t finished the other requisites para maannotate ang marriage contract of your previous marriage. ~the mere fact of filing the petition, or the grant thereof without complying with all the requisites, is not a reason for contracting a subsequent marriage~huwag naman sana.

I hope you`re done with the registration of your Court Decree of Annulment since 2009 pa pala nafinalize ang annulment. Ask your Local Civil Registrar (the place where your marriage certificate was registered) sila ang magbibigay nong certified true copy of your marriage contract with annotation and then they will endorse this to NSO by mail baka kasi di na endorse. If they did endorse it to NSO and the annotated marriage certificate is already converted and loaded in the Civil Registry System (CRS) database, the resulting AOM will have the appropriate remark depending on the court decision as follows:
• With Annulment of Marriage
• With Declaration of Absolute Nullity of Marriage
• With Legal Separation
• With Foreign Decree of Divorce
• With Declaration of Presumptive Death

By the way sis ito ang requirements of NSO:
Court Decree of Annulment of Marriage:
(1) Certified True Copy of the Court Decree of Annulment
(2) Certified True Copy of the Certificate of Finality (certification issued by the court that gave the decision)
(3) Certified True Copy of the Certificate of Registration of the Court Decree (issued by the local civil registrar of the place where the court decree of annulment was registered)
(4) Certified True Copy of the Annotated Marriage Certificate (issued by the Local civil registrar of the place where your marriage certificate was registered)
