My wife will be coming to Canada shortly via multiple airline stops from the Philippines. Manila to Hong Kong then a four day visit with family followed by Hong Kong to China to Calgary. The concern I have is she does not have a credit card and I worry about potential fees with baggage weight...

Congratulations!!

Iloilo city but originally Calinog. We had a little mixup with VFS. They contacted us saying our pictures were deficient turns out they were the wrong size because we sent them passport sized pictures and also not recent enough (they were 1 year old and they needed 6 months or less) It was an...

Average time to get passport back from Manila after PPR? We mailed from Iloilo to Manila VFS on Friday and its arrived in Manila although its still the weekend.

5 minutes after showing her the decision made on ecas...my wife refreshed her email. PASSPORT REQUEST!!! 14 months and we are done!! now to figure out how to send the passport to manila from iloilo.

ECAS just switched to DECISION MADE! MyCiC still reflects same information. The decision made wasn't there 4 hours ago!!! :) yayyyyy 14 months is drawing to an end i think.

Yeah it feels like older applications are not getting any prioritization. Our GCMS notes stated major steps had been completed but nobody would look to do the next step for months at a time. Sounds like a very inefficient system. I was under the assumption it took long to determine certain facts...

I googled the Member of Parliament for my area. That told me their email and phone number. I simply wrote an email explaining our situation and questions I wanted the MP to ask on my behalf. Then included my wifes UCI number and information to identify her and off they went. I have been in...

Our member of parliament just got this response from the CiC. CIC advised: - March 13 medicals approved - File now at 14 months processing - delays related to furtherance of medical testing - File is complete awaiting final approval - March 15 was the noted 'Bring Forward Date' - No notes on...

GCMS officer notes say Eligability is passed, Criminality is passed, and security is passed. (for the last 6 months these have been passed in GCMS notes we were only waiting for medical) CiC website says only Medical is passed. (2 weeks ago it changed online from review in progress to PASSED...

thank you so much! thats perfect information! I only sent a general Case specific inquiry which i don't even think touches manila.

It is that expensive...and sometimes u have to fly or travel long distances. Or if the medical expires after 1 year do it again >.< We flew 400km (over water) to get to ours and it also expired 1 year later heh.

How would you send an inquiry directly to manila immigration? To my understanding it just gets sent to the generic place in Canada...

I have contacted our member of parliament. They have contacted CiC multiple times over our medical issues. Currently they want us to do X-rays every 3 months for 9 months. We just did our last x-ray and the MP is only willing to do diary updates once a month. Which is the equivalent of GCMS...

We are a February 03, 2016 applicant from the Philippines. We are now at March 7, 2017 past the 12 months processing time. How do we go about contacting CiC for more indepth information? Case specific inquiries have failed us as well as GCMS notes do not give us any pertinent information. Is...

Thank you for the suggestions we are trying as many angles as possible to come to a resolution. We messaged the MP already with an accurate timeline of testing. They replied that they will try to contact someone that can give us some assistance. I am revising the same letter i sent to the MP to...

To our understanding the 3 month sputum culture test is the highest accuracy test that can be done for TB. This is NOT the sputum test that can be determined within hours but in fact takes 3 months. This is also a test that gives multiple samples of the sputum over a period of time. That in...

Oddly enough the panel physician we talked to called this additional testing unnecessary. They don't know why a 3 month period of waiting for an additional x-ray will be beneficial in any way. I think it was their intentions to get extra money from the sputum test although previous TB tests were...

Our MP has all our details regarding medicals for the last year and a half. The excessive amounts of testing information as well as file details. We order GCMS notes monthy and in none of the notes do they request additional medical testing or have any concerns about the potential for...
