Congrats for those who got their Visa.

I am too much worried right now. Got my DM last July 1 too. But until now i have not received my Visa yet. I am worried if i can still get it this week. Can you update please specially from those who had DM last July 1 if lahat kayo nareceive na ang Visa nyo. Worried ako na baka ako na lang ang walang narereceive. I am planning to go in the Embassy to personally ask tomorrow morning.

@obinlaine, when do you plan to leave and where you from? I will travel alone too maybe we could have the same flight but hopefully my visa will arrive this week cause i am planning to leave any day this week too.

congratz!!! i'm also a nurse but i decided to take the english exam in Canada they call it CELBAN ( Canadian English Language Benchmark Assessment for Nurses). anyway good luck sa IELTS mo. :) I'll be leaving alone also and I intend to do so on August 15, I still don't have tickets though and I haven't got my visa yet :( I also got DM July 5th i'm not sure bout the date actually... hopefully i get to receive it this week, in God's time and will :) and if you want we can also attend the seminars together like PDOS :) GOD BLESS US ALL hope to hear from you colleague. hehe :)

@ jhoan004, i plan to leave on the 8th of august that is if i could get a ticket for that day and complete all the seminars i have to attend before the said date.. Dont panick you will probably receive your visa this week. Try calling dhl first before going to the embassy for the embassy does not give details unless you have already exceeded your timeline.. Are you under spousal sponshorship? where are u from? I am from cavite, which is only 2 hours away from manila so it did not take too long for my visa to arrive unlike those who are in remote provinces

you're not alone... well i'm not really sure kung kelan ako na DM but i checked my status July 5 so i assumed it's also July 1st since almost all of the peeps here got their DM July 1st. ;D is it possible to talk to them personally? tomorrow morning? ako din kaya? i'm so worried na din talaga :(

@ obinlaine, i called the DHL but they don't give me information about the package. They said they can only track it by tracking numbers blah blah. I have no choice but to personally ask but yeah i do think they will not give me details if i do so. And yes i am under spousal sponsorship. I am from Marikina City part of Metro Manila that is why i am worrried :( May i ask where in Canada are you going? My husband live in Ontario.

@ijn-jale, i am taking the risk to ask them, kasi ang tagal na nating naghihintay. Baka sakali ready for pick up na or something, i dunno i just want to be on top of this.

sa Winnipeg ako... pwede mo ba bigay sakin number ng DHL na tinawagan mo? thanks.. pareho lang siguro sila ng IELTS but i think mas madali un hindi ko din sure. pero kasi hindi ako nakareview dito kaya dun na lang ako magtake. alam ko requirement din nila NBI so plan ko kumuha ng bago before leaving. alam ko kailangan din mag exam for LPN and kailangan pa magaral talaga. bawal pala magpost ng links.

What are you planning to do? Nakakalokang maghintay, Hopefully this week dumating na. My husband asked me if the last name of applicants affects it. Like in my case daw dahil P ang initial ng surname ko kaya daw matagal. What is your surname initial if you don't mind?

It is possible to contact them if u have already exceeded the given timeline, if you are under spouse/partner/child sponshorship the given timeline is 6mos after manila-canadian embassy recieves and processes your documents. Lets say for my case, Manila-canadian embassy started to process it March 30, so i can follow up after 6mos which is september.You can follow up by fax,email or,personal mail given the follow-up application form.

There is no one from the visa section that will respond and talk to if you are still within the processing time and still decided to drop-by, email or call the office. Thus, giving it a waste of time and effort

Dadating na din yan :)
