    DM on Ecas but GCKey says 8 month wait

    I am getting the passport back with COPR likely tomorrow according to the tracking and GCKEY still says 8 months, so you are just fine. Don't stress it, the gckey estimate means nothing.

    Why do all Filipinos need to join PDOS?

    I did not went. Kids don't need to do the seminar, but they need a stamp too apparently. We need to return with the COPR when we get it. Flying through another country to go to Canada does work. We know people who did it for work permit in Malaysia. POEA force OFWs to pay one month of...

    So GCP is done. Aparently, it's more like some kind of interview. They are looking to block human trafficking, mail order bride, that kind of thing. They ask question and proof of relationship, and people that had trouble answering basic stuff like birthday of spouse were told to leave.

    Why do all Filipinos need to join PDOS?

    My wife also thought it was PDOS, because she had friend in Canada who needed it, but the sponsor was a Canadian permanent resident in their case, NOT a Canadian citizen.

    *NEW* MANILA VISA OFFICE Philippines SPOUSE/FAMILY TIMELINE

    Hey StephanH Would have sent this direct message, but I figured other people might be interested. I tried to build spreadsheets with timelines of people in similar situation a bit ahead and a bit behind to try to figure out when we would get PPR and if we start to slip behind the pack. It's a...
