Hi teannajoan!i dont actually have d same case as yours..but in terms of waiting a response from d embassy after my medical, i actually waited almost 8 months before they gave me a visa..but i am not saying that its gonna be d same case as yours, because my application before is a provincial nominee..what im trying to say is you'll just need to wait until any notice from d embassy..just keep praying..

hello monoko, thank you for sharing your views for my case. and you are right i should just lift it all up to HIM now. Salamat for helping out. hope this gets to you as am not too savy as to the use of applications here hahaha. hirap nga ako maghanap for my post earlier..hahahah. God bless

hi,

I am a filipina now married to a canadian. My PR application has been in processed since September 24, 2009. I was still single then till we got married September 3, 2010 of which the embassy was fully informed of the change in status. After a year and 4 mos since they started processing my application, am still waiting for my visa! Sad

After the wedding, embassy requested for our NSO marriage contract and Advisory of marriage of which we sent out promptly. We heard from embassy once more informing us of date of interview. At the conclusion of my interview at the manila canadian embassy last november 22,2010, the officer indicated that me and my son were to be approved for our Permanent Residence Visa as soon as the 're-medical' forms were recieved by their office as our first medical had exceeded the one year validity. They sent me the remedical forms last Dec 9, 2010 i had my remedical dec 13 and 14. The clinic of the designated medical doctor who did my remedical informed me that they sent out the remedical report forms via dhl on Dec 20, 2010 and was received by the mr lubos/nestor tuballa of the visa section. Thus my remedical was submitted promptly as requested by the interview officer. Our remedicals generated same results as to our first medical exams, the dmd told me everything was fine. As of today, we have not recieved notice or instruction as to the Permanent Residence Visa.

What could be the problem? during the interview the officer already returned all documents submitted except our passports and nso marriage certificates, infact she herself said she will change my status to married on their database as we got married along the process of my application. I even raised a concern regarding my passport still being in my maiden name... she informed me i didnt need an updated one with my married name as it will only cause more wait. She said if i opt not to change my passport they can issue my visa and that of my son soon as my remedical is done. its close to a month now since my remedical was submitted and we havent heard from them.

If there is anyone who can relate to my case, please share your experience and your views here. thank you very much and happy new year!

hi teannajoan

I assumed you are applying as provincial nominee right? and marry canadian citizen? it seems everything was fine they returned all your documents coz they are done with the processing. they didnt give you the passport back coz they have to wait for your medical results to issue the visa. yah you have to do re-medical because its already expired. about the NSO marriage contract they gonna keep it and put it in their file. the immigration was right no need to change your passport it will add more time you can still use your maiden name and change your status as married. just be patient they only have it last dec20 and it took a month from them to response so maybe in a week or by the end of the month you'll have your visa back :) did you already fill-up appendix A form when you submitted your passport? just pray and wait to mr. DHL hehe... like mr.vip, lee,monoko and my husband even me we are patiently waiting for mr. postman to knock the door hehe..

Plz advice me what's best thing to do kasi nareceive ko khapon yung aor at ppr ko and they're also requesting me to submit additional documents of my kids like nso birth certificate and appendix a. My eldest son whos 20 yrs old is required also to submit nbi clearance,cenomar.appendix a and family background history.My problem is the letter was dated Dec 14,2010 and they're just giving me 45days but i just got it yesterday Jan14,2011 so i'm not sure if i can complete those documents since i only have 2wks left. Btw my kids are'nt accompanying me.

hi foreverlove,

just write a letter explain to them that you only got the letter jan.14 and you'll be going to send as soon as you have them and for sure they gonna call you if they still not received any response from you. We have the same case i only have 1 week to send the requirements and i wrote them a letter that mine was still in process and ill send to them as soon as i have it. then after a week immigration called me and ask me if I received the letter dated nov29 and told them that i just received a week a go. dont worry they still find ways to contact you so make sure your fone is always with you :)

btw you can get nso birthcertificate in an hour go to the nearest NSO office, same with NBI except cenomar it takes 3 working days i think. send them first then the other is to follow.

If you really respect this forum, respect its people too. If people aren't comfortable expressing themselves in English, leave them alone. The purpose of this is to help those who need comfort while waiting to be with their loved ones and not to get reprimanded for not speaking the universal language.

My advice, before you post something next time about 'speaking in english'.. check your spelling first. It would "benEfit" you a lot. (yup, it's actually an E not I)

hahaha ya right! he's using english but with a wrong spelling and grammar... lol...
good statement here frappii.... congrats and keep up the good work... God bless

im sorry guys... i find this forum so helpful but sometimes others are funny....

what? 10k? holy thats too much.. ok atleast you have the original right? so all u have to do is go to the municipal office and sabihin mo kung pwede nila i-rush within 2weeks kamo bigyan mo nalang atleast 500. kailangan kasi ng request from them.

yes filipina... i laughed while reading that statement though hahaha...
plus... he/she mentioned about respect...
how could he/she use that word since he/she is complaining about english and tagalog?
frappii is write... he/she must leave those people alone who are comfortable in using tagalog.... then (respect will be there by that way) lol.

And besides, I find out that his/her English grammar wasn't right hahahaha...
So, he/she's the one who needs more practice... lol

Anyway, let's not stick into that... That's kindof nonsense.. let's just go on and help each other here or to anyone who needs help in any aspects...

God bless
