Thanks Deeaar. We're planning to leave by April next year. We want to let the winter pass since we have kids, the abrupt change may be hard for them to adjust. Second, we want to be prepared as much as possible. We're researching all we can do here in the phils before we leave like...

Thanks noman, Gico and zsashimi!

Got our visa today! :D

Thanks guys. Hi zsashimi, My wife and I both took the IELTS last June since it was one of the documents required to be updated. Although she's the principal applicant, I took it also since I'll be needing it for professional certifications. We're both engineers, and were planning to apply for...

Not yet, maybe within the next 2 months since the invite from her sister will state that she will attend her niece's graduation(which is also true). She visited Canada before and left without any problem/records. We have also prepared the necessary funds to support her, so we believe it wouldn't...

Hi Qorax, I just started reading this thread after we got our passport request and was impressed by the information. You are a blessing in this forum. Anyways, I have a curious question. Is bringing along my mother-in-law(my wife is the principal applicant) as tourist have any problem on our...

Guys, Got our passport request today through email. ;D

Congratulations albert_alo! ;D

Congratulations to cielo and albert_alo! You're keeping our(old applicants) hopes up. ;)

Thanks Is Police Clearance and FBI clearance the same? By the way we have already applied. My wife applied last 2004 when we were not yet married. We updated our documents to include me and our daughters this year. Now the Visa office is asking for my FBI clearance. Regards

I have a question regarding FBI clearance. I visited the United States sometime in 2003, got an FBI clearance around 2004. I haven't been to the US after that. Is my 2004 FBI clearance still valid today?

Yup, for additional points. On our initial application we just submitted a document stating that we have studied, worked and travelled in an english speaking environment/country for x number of years. But apparently this is not enough, they only awarded 8pts. In their letter they required us to...

Congratulations albert_alo! Keep us posted for updates. :)

Hi piolo, We were short of points because we skipped IELTS. They will only award 8pts for language if you did not submit IELTS results. We took the exam last June.

Calgary, Alberta. You?

Hi zsashimi, We received a letter last May that said we are short of points. We didn't took IELTS and there were no documents of continuing presence of our relatives in Canada. The Visa office told us to send the updates within 2 months together with the updated info of our settlement funds. We...

Thanks guys. We applied on our own, without the aid of a consultant. I’m not that familiar with some terms (like AOR, NOC, etc..). I previously thought the application date is the date that appears on the CIC website when you check the application status. From my research, AOR is the date we...

Finally got our medical request! :) I've been following this forum for sometime and almost everyone's advice is "be patient", and I agree to that a million times.

Hi albert_alo, We almost have the same case. We also applied here in Manila. Hopefully, and I'm praying, that we can get the medical request soon (yours is just around a month after you sent the documents update). God bless.

Hi rosellyalung, We did receive the letter that gave us the option to withdraw our application. That was, I think, way back late '09. It was only last May '10 that we received another letter (docs update; IELTS, financials, etc..). I'm starting to get frustrated in the long stretches between...
