You still have a little time. Patience yours is probably on its way also. Surprised that Mistletoes and Adventurer got visa so soon after DM or even before DM. Wow maybe my wife will get visa today also :) :) :)

Don't be frustrated, no need, have great hope and patience, yours is probably next. :)

Mr. DHL delivered my passport yesterday along with the 2 kgs of our proof of relationship hehe. The day before yesterday my ecas ( Pr applicant) updated with my sponsor's address this time, no DM or anything like thAt,but with the help of some friends they say it is 100% visa soon because VO will not write the sponsor's address on mine if it is still in process..that gave me hope to hang on tight ( i learned to be hopeful in this forum!) then came the next day after that address on my ecas appeared i got my visa at exactly 2pm, adventurer got hers few hours ahead of me.. Just so happy all the waiting is over. I am grateful of this forum..thanks for the help guys! And to those who are still losing patience and faith on their applications, hang on tight. I remember my husband and i use to have little fights over this application...frustrations due to the thought u dont know what is going on will they reject our application or would take ages too... I thank the BIG GUY up there..


In God's perfect time you will get what we all have been praying for in his forum, meantime keep the avenue of communication open with you spouse abroad, it hurts to be apart..but remember this is just a meantime of your lifetime togetherness soon.

God bless everyone

Hi! My husband just sent his PPR and other docs via courier using this address:
Family Class Section
Immigration Section
Canadian Embassy, Manila
Level 6, Tower 2, RCBC Plaza
6819 Ayala Avenue
Makati City 1200
Philippines

You can inquire with either LBC or DHL, and the cost is really cheap. Someone also mentioned in one of the threads that it would be a good idea to write down your name and UCI/Application Number on the envelope. Just so they can file your envelope accordingly, and faster.

In terms of how long they issue a visa after the passport and other documents have been received, I guess it varies from case to case. Others have received theirs fast - 1-3 months and others longer. Let's just pray we'll get ours faster right? ;)

You can pm for any more info. We might get our visas at the same time!

HI!

THanks for the reply on here. Well I already sent my PPR to CEM and I just used the email address which I found on the CIC website. I think its fine to use that either. I hope we can get a reply anytime soon. Lets all hope and pray that the good Lord will smile upon us.

When did u sent you PPR?? DId you got your Visa already?
Thinking about that makes me and my husband so much stress and nervous. I hope everythings gonna be ok.

Lets share for the updates on here guys! GOOD LUCK TO US!! ;D
