Thanks for the answer! I was s little bit paranoid that we might not be allowed to leave from Phils because the place where the visas were issued is different. Yes, i have heard about PDOS and have registered for it as well but thanks a lot for mentioning that too! :) you eased my worries! Thank...

Hello! We recently got our immigrant visas to Canada, the place of issue was Abu Dhabi. We are returning to our home country (Philippines) for a short while and from there, we will travel to Canada. My question is, will it not be an issue if we are travelling from a country other than the...

Thank you and see you around!

Thanks Znarfier! I guess we don't have any choice but to land in Canada before June 22. I don't want to take the risk and waste time in requesting for visa extension as I have read on the paper that came together with the visas that "the visas were given maximum validity and could not be...

Thank you! I have noticed that on the COPR for me and my husband the validity is until Feb 2017 however for all the 4 visas, the expiry is june 22, 2016 so I guess we'll just have to make it work:)

Oh my! now you mentioned I remembered the kids did their medicals upfront in June 2015! so that must be the reason! in any case, still happy visas are on hand now, even though we will need to speed things up!

Well none of the family members passport is expiring but it clearly say on the visa and the COPR that expiry is June 22, 2016! Is this an error or something? Does anyone have similar experience? to those that recently got the visa, please share how many months was the validity of the visa you...

dear friends, I am very happy to say that we got back our passports today with visas from VFS! it took exactly 15 working days from the time we submitted the passports to VFS (not counting the Easter Holiday when the Embassy and VFS were closed). I am extremely happy! ;D I wish everyone success...

Congratulations! That's such happy news! :) For us, it took about 4 months and 19 days to receive the medical request, however I have seen others who got theirs after only 1-2 months, so hopefully you receive it soon:)

Yeah, we are almost there although this waiting is killing me :( I can't help but wonder, if they requested for the ppts, they will surely issue the visas right? I mean is there any case that passports were requested and got refused? :o i know, im getting crazy right? lol Did your ECAS change...

So, we submitted our passports via VFS 13th March and no news yet :( kept tracking everyday but in only says still under process by the embassy in AUH... I wonder when we will receive the notification to collect the passports (growing impatient by the day lol!) @Uaepinay, which way have you...

According to VFS it is a minimum of 15 days but could take up to a month (or more - let's hope not! yay!). We went with VFS as it was stated on the PPR that it is the embassy's "preferred" method and because with them you at least have a means of tracking the status of your passports. Also, I...

Hi Znarfier, We sent our passports through VFS. With VFS there is a fee of 161 AED per passport + 5 AED each for the SMS notification, so for the 4 of us we paid a total of 664 AED. We opted to pick up the passports from VFS once they are ready for collection. If you want to send it by courier...

Thank you! I'm sure your applications will move fast too ^_^ Can anyone advise please if it is better to submit the passports thu VFS or directly to the embassy? In the PPR, it was mentioned that you can either submit in person to VFS or by courier or courier directly to the embassy. With VFS...

Thank you! the time of the mail indicated on mine was 4:30 AM :) anyway, we have both received the PPR much sooner than anticipated so I am extremely happy! hopefully they send us back the stamped passports quickly too:) If i may ask, which city in Manitoba are u headed? maybe we will meet each...

Congrats Uaepinay! We received our PPR today too!!!! Thank you Lord!!!

Hi paolo - We got the RPRF from ADVO the same day that we received the medical request. We paid on the same day too (online).

Hi saskapr2015 Sorry for the late reply, did not check the forum in a few days. This is the email address where we received the medical request from: Client-update-mise-a-jour@cic.gc.c
