hi step.. thanks for response. Hoping we will hear from them this month We are anxious because my husband works in Riyadh but he is in Manila right now for a month holiday and he is schedule to go back to Riyadh on January 24th. We are debating if he stay for good in Manila and wait for his approval or go back to Saudi Arabia.
Its really hard to wait but everyone did i think it will be worthwhile

By reading other posts, don't think will happen that fast unfortunately.
We are looking at a few more months wait time.
True, will be worth the wait in the end.posted processing time are 13 months, I'm afraid it will take close to that long.But some are processed faster.

Good Luck, Step

Update

Ok so ive been waiting since november 25th 2013 for my wifes passport to be returned. I sent Bogota an email 2weeks ago stressing my concern on to why its taking this long and if they even have her passport there. I got an email back saying that its on Que to be looked at but they cant tell me when, but that as soon as its done i would be informed.

Today i get an email from The Visa office saying that they cant go ahead with the application(passport) because i haven't paid the RTPRF of 490.00. I paid this over 2months ago. The case processing centre in Mississauga screwed up and didnt update the VO when my payment was made. I called CIC today and they said that i didn pay but it isnt showing up in Mississauga. They sent a email saying to update my file for the VO. Im so pissed. :'( . Hopefully they inform Bogota ASAP.

Welcome to the world of infuriating bureaucratic incompetence. I hope that you had some choice words for them when you wrote them back. I have.

Did you pay it with credit card? if so, then you can just send them the receipt as the proof of payment

Ok, so everything good now. Had trouble with passport photos too, photos from certain countries have different regulations. I know Philippines applicant must print name, date, then sign.
