Hi, I think, correct me seniors pag mali, sa case ng mga pinoys... ang middle name ay ang maternal name. We have to be consistent with our passport's info since it's the primary ID na ginagamit ng mga embassy for identification. SInce nakalagay dun sa middle name sa passport ay ang aplido ng ating mga mudra, we have to be consistent with that. Kahirap kasi iexplain sa ibang lahi na iba ang middle name s atin... na ang middle name sa kanila ay second given name sa atin. ahihi
napatingin tuloy ako sa passport ko at baka mali pag fill -out ko sa form. sa passport ko ito ang required fields:

surname
given name
middle name

the IMM0008_3e schedule 3 background declaration form asks for the family name (which we know is the surname, di ba ;D) and given name only.

that is why i no longer gave my middle name. sabi nga ng IELTS reviewer ko: give to the monkey that which the monkey asks, no more no less ;)

so kahit pa nakalagay na dapat yng name natin as appearing in the passport, kng yung 2 lng hinihingi nila, yun lng din bigay natin, di ba?

as what leigh_anne, said, she also left the 2nd box blank, she's waiting for passport request, if im not mistaken, so tapos na ng VO review ng dox nya. i think di sya nagkaproblema don, so it might also work with our case.

Hi imbubbles. Di ko kasi chinecheck ecas ko. I'm not sure when exactly nagchange ang status ko into "in process". Basta ang sure ko lang, yung nakalagay dun, nagstart iprocess nung july 17 daw. May 19 ang date ng AOR ko, pero nareceive ng lawyer ko May 27. Ilang days ba yun bale?

dun sa timeline mo, yung in process mo yun ba yung date na nagchange yung status mo o yun yung nakalagay kung kelan nila start pinrocess papers mo?
hi drabebs,

in my case, my ecas changed to in status on july 20, 2010 pm (coz when i checked in the am, received by vo pa), and it stated there that they started processing july 13th. on july 22nd, i received my med request which was dated july 14th. Pa follow up mo sa lawyer mo dun sa post office.:) but for sure, you'll receive your MR soon.

sabagay. tama ka mimi.

If wala middle name sa mga forms, dapat, sa lahat, wala na din middle names? like sa additional information na form. kasi dun, nakalagay lang, "name". at tsaka sa picture, diba susulat name sa likod, wala na din middle name dapat ilagay dun?

Hayyy buti pa kayo.. visa na. ako yung federal ko "In Process" pa din since May 2008. Hayyy
i read your case.... yung work experience mo ba nasa NOC for FSW pa din until now? if yes, if i were you, this is not an advice, opinion ko lang, i would withdraw my applications (FSW 2008 & quebec)... then file another application under the new rules etc... baka abutin ka ng apat hanggang anim na taon.... wag ka na rin kumuha ng agency, dito ka na lang sa forum... ako hindi ako nag agency, yung nagyaya sakin na mag apply anjan pa hanggang ngayun.... anyway, opinion lang you can ask nars... he's an expert...

hi mks, sa kin photocopy din lang ng PR card ng sis ko pinasa namin. di ko naman kase mapapa certify na true copy yon kase kelangan makita yung original. anyway, may number naman yon eh, so makikita na nila yon sa system nila kung totoo o hindi yung pinasa ko. so far wala naman ako naging problema :)
hi nz2ca,

Thanks a lot! how about yung copy of passport and copies of employment contracts? ok lang na photocopies lang?

also, dun sa work experience requirement, nakalagay dun na include a business card of the signatory. what if kung walang business card yung pumirma o kaya hindi naman updated yung business card nya, ok lang kaya na di na ako magsubmit nun?

kung close mo iyong tao na nasa business card, i would recommend na magpaalam ka sa kanya at magpagawa ka na lang galing sa sarili mong pitaka ng updated business card niya. isa kasi ito sa mga requirement ng Canadian immigration e. kapag kumpleto lahat ng paper works mo, mas malamang na bumilis ang papeles mo.

Just to add dun sa question ko in regards sa name.

If wala middle name, hindi na din isasama lahat ang middle name sa ibang forms?

like para sa Additional Family Information na form: para sa father, mother, brothers and sisters. no middle name?

please advice po...
blueray,

in my case, i included my middle name because it was specifically stated "as shown in your passport or travel document". In item #1 (page 1) of the Application for PR form, I wrote my first names and middle name side by side on the space for "Given name(s)". In page 2, "details of family members", I also did the same for my husband and son.

In Schedule 1, item#1, I placed my middle name on the "blank" field below the "Given name(s)". In items #7 and #8, I also placed the middle names of my parents on the blank fields below the "Given name(s)".

I also did the same on Schedule #3.

BUT on the Additional Family Information forms, I wrote the names (mine, spouse, dependent child, parents, and siblings) with the MIDDLE INITIAL ONLY, starting with the first names and ending on the last names.

I hope this helps you, Blueray.

mks0308,

i included clear colored photocopies of my passport, as well as those of my family members. I had it notarized, though. As for the employment contracts, i only submitted a notarized explanation letter with supporting documents because we don't have contracts in my previous employers.

With regard to the business card, since my current employment is a family-owned corporation, the one who signed my reference letter is my sister who actually works as a clerk in our business. I just printed a business card for her with her contact details. I guess, the VO requires this in case they want to verify from your employers, so they have it handy and ready when they decide to call. So i think it's really a must that you include the business card.

i hope this helps. :)
