Arianne keep praying...in times you feel down and upset hold your rosary and keep praying gagaan pakiramdam mo...that is what I did when I feel down and upset...there are also many sleepless nights na wala ako iniisip kundi application ko...in the middle of the night magigising ako and never fell sleep and stay up till morning...ang ginagawa ko lang is to keep praying..praying at tawagin sya...leave everything to HIM...just stay and keep on HIS words. God Bless po and Good Night!

Just wanna share this:

Nature is the best cure. Whenever you are stressed or worried or uneasy, take a nice long walk in the nature, touch the ground with your feet, touch the trees with your hands, and the Divine nature of life will flow into you to ease your pain.

[dorisiana]

nakakaexcite noh... hehe

@miga: yes girl tuwang tuwa nga ako at least may nagbago sa ecas ko, 1 month ko na kasi chinecheck yun eh idle sya.. excatly a month after they receive my PP ayan may update na kahit papano... ;D

@redtag: ako rin girl, faith lang talaga pinanghahawakan ko eh.. sana nga lahat tayo lalo na sina NT maDM agad..

 

[aginaya]

Medical Result received is better than In-process pala,..kasi next nun is DM then Visa

@ sideangel85

yun sakin sis, i got medical results have been received first, before application received on. and then in process and DM! it depends i guess if you submitted your med result earlier than your application!

 

[dorisiana]

Hi dorisiana...Pag walang problem sa apps saka complete lahat ang requirements at walang problem sa medical and security check usually 2 to 3 months lang after you submitted the PPR. May checklist kasi sila pag nandun lahat ng requirements sa checklist nila madali lang ang processing. Kung may dependent child ka may separate file din sila for assessment. Tyaga lang talaga maghintay kasi di pare pareho ang mga cases ng applicants. And actually wala din sa VO yan nasa pag present din natin ng application may guidelines kasi silang sinusunod in assessing the apps. Siguro minimal factor lang yung negligence saka mood ng VO.

ok thanks cynch! sana naman dun ako sa 2 months... tanggap ko na di ako aabot sa anniv namin sa june22.. hehe parang kung magkakavisa ako kasi nun feeling ko unfair dun sa ibang matagal na naghihintay ng visa.. dapat sila muna..

Continuation of B: To renew or apply for passport at Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) certificate from Seminar B is required

To avoid delay of visa processing, make sure all fees were paid, and all documents were submited.

Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF). If this fee is not paid with the application, Canadian Embassy Manila will first contact you to send you a letter to tell you to pay. The letter goes to the person being sponsored but the fees have to be paid by the sponsor themselves. You then pay your fees online or at a bank and have to send the proof to CPC-Missassauga. Then CPC-M sends notice to the CEM that it was paid.
It takes time to get back to you to tell that the fees are paid. So it does slow down the process quite a bit. Failure to pay the fee at the time of submission of the application will result in a minimum additional two-month delay in the finalization of the application according to http://www.cnn1.net/pdf_forms/3900E.pdf

Additional documents usually requested by the embassy:
1. AOM (Advisory on Marriage) from NSO- different from Marriage Certificate; should be submitted at CPC-Missassauga together with other required documents at Country Specific Instructions-Philippines http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3905e.pdf
2. Divorce Petition- different from Divorce Certificate; usually requested from Filipino sponsors who are divorced based on experiences of posters in this forum. (For natural-born Canadian sponsors who are divorced, seems that they don't ask from you, but pls confirm at CEM)
3. Appendix A- or Additional Family Information; though submitted previously, they will still ask a copy; the letter usually comes with the AOR/PPR
4. Detailed statement of relationship with the EX (notarized)- for sponsored person with a child from their ex. Sometimes you are required to submit: Ex's I.D, a notarized letter stating the ex allows the child to be sponsored, or other document asked by the visa officer.
