Hi people,

has somebody on this thread recently received approval or rejection from the Manila CIC? They are not responding to emails and my application isn't moving forward. I am wondering if anybody else is also waiting?

Hello guys! Me and my partner applied online just last night 20:50 philippine time. We already had a medical request as indicated on my account. Just wondering kasi according to their guidelines, supposedly wala dapat akong medical exam because we just came back here in phils less than a month ago june 22 this year from the UK and also my course is hospitality management not health related. Anyway we'll be going to cebu this monday for our medical exam. Hopefully we'll pass. I find it very convenient online the fact that we already have a medical request (which is again not needed according to the guidelines). I'll keep you posted guys. Good luck to us all!

Applied online: july 17,2014
Medical request: july 18, 2014
Medical result: pending
Visa issued: pending
Landed: pending

Destination: Vancouver, Canada

Hello! Medicals done nko yesterday.. July 17. Anyway, may naging problem nga lang dun sa letter na sinend skn ng embassy, invalid IME number daw sabi ng st lukes sakin yesterday, then tinawagan nla embassy sabi daw nagkaglitches system nila nung time na linodge ko application ko last week (july 11) via paperbased thru my agency.. Pinag upfront nlang nila ako then binigyan ako new UMI number tapos binigyan ako nung parang Emedical form na proof na nkapagmedical nga ako that day.. ang sabi skn ibigay ko daw yun sa agency ko plus yung isang copy ng letter skn ng embassy. Medyo confusing lng, ano ba gagawin pag parang upfront ka? May cases po ba na ganito? Tinatawagan namin SLEC Ermita pero parang walang sumasagot pls help!

Hello frustrated! Thanks for the info. I have called cic last night they said i can write a letter back to the VO through their online message facility, however, it is not available on my account, so they emailed me an alternative way to contact them about my concern. Anyway we decided to have our medicals done n lng kasi we don't have much time, sept intake kasi ako baka ma delay pa because of this. My college is called Canadian college in vancouver. Under sa DLI yong college ko buti n lng hehehek kasi when i was still in london plano ko before june ako mag apply baka kasi wala sa list yong college but they assured me that there is nothing to worry about the new rules and when i check on the first of june nandun sila sa list. Are you in ca na frustrated if you don't mind me asking?

@khoykhoy: Based on what CIC said, you will not need a medical exam IF you lived in the UK for at least 6 consecutive months one year prior to your entry in Canada. That's how I understood it :/ haha

But your application is super fast!

Hello humdrum. You're right. Because i lived there for the past three years, and i'll be taking up hospitality mgt not health related, which makes me exempted with the meds exam. Anyway, my partner will have to get a medical exam in canada because his line of work is health related. We decided to get a meds n lng. You think its quick? Sana nga ma okay application namin. Where you based in canada humdrum?

I took my medical exam a year ago with St. Luke's Global, based on my experience naman, mabilis yung pagbigay nila ng results to CIC (as you can see on my timeline). I mentioned to the nurse lang na urgent kasi may hinahabol ako na deadline. Wala ring policy about immunization then but I completed my shots a couple years before anyway :)

I'm based in (Greater Vancouver area) BC, but nasa Pilipinas ako right now for the summer hehe

What we did for my application, the loan was deposited to my mom's personal bank account. So basically, the loan was added to the money (savings) that was kept in the bank for four months (we submitted four months bank statement). The loan was only added to the account few days before we lodged my application, provided with a loan letter from the bank.

I am applying from UAE, so application process is a bit different from Philippines. I am not sure with educational loan because mine was personal loan. If you can, try to at least make arrangements with the local bank or talk to any representative/bank manager regarding their educational loan services because some banks require proof of acceptance from a Canadian university and some just lend you the money and pay it afterwards.

Aside from getting opinions here, I suggest you make a separate thread here in the international students forum so other applicants with the same dilemma as you can contribute as well.

Hope this helps!
Thanks so very much!
I think the parents account part makes total sense. However, I followed your advice and created a new thread as well.

Oh thats cool! Our destination to be is vancouver as well. Grrr i hate that immunization part, i hope there is no need for us to do that (fingers cross). I'll keep that in mind to tell the doctor that my application is urgent, my intake is on september. Your processing time was quick, just over a month? Wow, that's great. When we applied to UK though, it only took 3 weeks but things there is getting tough. Anyway, hope you're enjoying the fun weather here in our country even with the typhoons. Hehehek... Thanks for the time xx
