Helo guys, baka cguro nataggalan yong mga visa natin may nabasa ako news na marami daw mga foreign service officer sa canada immigration nga nag walkout mga 12 embassies yata yong nag walkout including LOndon, PAris TOkyo,HOngkong at kasama na doon yong malaking visa processing center sa BEijing at NEw DeLhi. Di kaya yon din ang isa sa dahilan kng bakit matagal nga yon processing..?

At may na basa din akoa sa ibang thread na 3months na application nya, hanggang ngayon wala pa rin cya narecieve na medical request..sana bumilis na yong processing time and a have positive result para makasama na natin yong mga mahal natin In JEsus name.AMen!

Hi!

Just new here. I was trying to google for an answer whether I'll be needing to get OEC and PDOS, and I landed in this forum. I am a silent member of P2C, i rarely participate because most of the topics are for caregivers. Dito pala ako makakatagpo ng katulad kong nag-aapply ng spousal owp.

Last I checked, OWP (Worker/W1) visa holders do not need to get OEC and PDOS, and only have to submit copies of the spouse's LMO, OEC, and PDOS, tama po ba? But the post was dated 2011 pa, are there any updates po ba, or the same applies now? Please help po so I can do something about it while there's still time. We are scheduled to depart on the 25th.

Btw, just to share my experience po, I applied online and here is my timeline as per mycic:

Copy E-application sent to call centre/submission confirmation - Feb 20, 2013
Medical Request (for me) - Feb 21, 2013
Medical Request (for my son) - Feb 26, 2013
Medical done - 1st to 2nd week of March (had some minor problems)
Request for additional documents (NBI, Spouse's Employment Letter, and T4 for 2012) - April 22, 2013
* I had problems uploading these additional documents via mycic. I inquired from 2 different cic email support about this but received no reply. I tried submitting the docs via webform, even if there was an instruction not to submit it anywhere else than mycic.
Original Passport Request - May 29, 2013
Scheduled for PP pickup via PIASI - May 31, 2013
Air 21 PP pickup - June 4, 2013
Received POE Introduction Letter - June 7, 2013
Received PP with visa stamp - June 8, 2013
*hoping to land before end of june 2013, july airfare starts to go high!

Hoping for your help! thanks all!

@ kyle dun ko i upload lahat sa letter of explanation yung work permit, lmo, contract, proof of funds etc? Maliban dun sa naka specified alisin ko na like yung passport? Habang wait mo pala passport mo pwede ka na din upload kase nakalagay dito maybtime frame at pwede save yung mga ginagawa mo, ask ko din study permit ka sa anak mo? Kase may hinihingi na letter of acceptance e hindi naman ata need pag open study permit like us? Senxia na ha salamat ulit :)

Hi! I agree with Kyle, you have to attach other important documents with the letter of explanation. If I may suggest, include mo na rin ang NBI cert mo, employment letter ng asawa mo with his 2012 T4. Kasi nagkaproblema ako sa pag-upload sa mycic when they asked for additional docs. Doon nga siguro nagtagal ang application ko, nakaka-tense kaya.

I forgot what I put in my letter of explanation, pero dun ko inattach ang lmo, contract, 2011 T4, 3-month payslips ng asawa ko. And yes there is a timeframe to complete the requirements, kaya isipin mo na rin ang time frame mo as to when you want to land in canada :)

Good luck, and God bless!

Did you also apply online? I also did not expect the processing to be that fast. Thank God talaga that we received the ppr before my son enrols this sem, sayang din yung tuition. Sabi nga swertehan daw sa immigration officer, pero as for me, swerte ko at maraming tumutulong sa amin ng dasal :)

Kwento ko lang....
My husband initially filed the application in an agency in canada and paid CA$1600 (hindi pa kasama pang-medical), they forwarded it thru their counterpart agency here in the phils. May binigay na ako sa asawa ko na mga docs na he was required to submit with the application. After that, meron pa another set of docs na i had to submit here, so handa-handa muna. Then tinawagan na ako ng agency dito, pag punta ko, kulang pa rin daw docs ko, so they returned everything to me. When i went back with the complete docs, aba, nun lang daw nila nakita na mageexpire na ang visa ng asawa ko ng nov 2013. Too risky na daw, it is our decision daw if we still want to proceed. I recorded our conversation and sent it to my husband who was totally disappointed and demanded them to return everything to him including the payment. Fortunately, he was able to get back almost 100% of it.

So we decided, ganun na lang din pala, risky pa rin even thru the agency, who was suppose to guide us with our application, might as well apply online. At least hindi ganun kasakit sa bulsa kung maging negative man. We only paid US$275 for the online application, plus medical exam(5T/adult), and courier (350/pax - pickup and delivery na). Again, thanks for all the prayers sent for us, eto na.

So what I am saying is, pagtapos ng lahat ng sama ng loob sa agency, everything turned out to be for the better. Una na ang laki ng natipid namin. You have submitted your application na, all you really have to do is wait. While waiting....pray pray pray. Ako yung taong sobra sobra mag-worry, lahat na lang talaga! Now that we have our visa, i look back and think, sayang yung mga pinangkulay ko ng puting buhok kaka-worry! In every step of the process, i whisper a prayer, then forget about it, bahala na si God. Sabi ko nga iiyak ako pag negative, but i will accept it as God's will. Pero ngayon, umiiyak din ako kasi hirap iwan ng nanay ko at aso namin :(

So again, just remain calm. Because God is great! He knows what we need. He knows what's in our hearts and minds. He knows what's best. :). For all you know, He's just making sure na nandun ka sa right time na may magandang work opportunity for you. Kasi for us, di naman kalakihan ang sweldo ng asawa ko, mabigat at mahihirapan kami kung sya lang ang may trabaho, kasi mas malaki syempre ang bayad kung rent lang sya ng room for himself only, than for three.

Good luck to all of us!
