Manila Passport Request at START of processing?

thanx for the idea canadianjeep guy...i agree with u....it's not the applicants fault that they can not make decisions before the expiration of the medicals....and the applicant will pay twice for their shortcomings...btw, my relative as well went to the office of the local MP and they called up CEM to follow up...CEM told them they will give their decision on sept yet as one of my dependent is a special child.
 
hello po sa enyu conjugal applicant ako F and M.. talga po ba ang medical ang nauna sa application??thnx for the reply

at the time the embassy received the documents you are lucky if less than 2 months you will get the approved with a visa.

In my case, I sponsored my 2 kids 16 and 19 y/o at the time. They received their application for permanent residence on February 2012. Decision made on May 2012 about the application. Completed all the requirements even the medical. Passport request on July 2012 and sent the passport August 2012 until Last week of JANUARY 2013 I DIDN'T hear anything what is the status. so, I made an Inquiry 4th week of January 2013. I check my eCAS and found,

We started processing application on February 21, 2013.

2nd week of March 2013 I received an email regarding additional requirements (update family information) to get another NBI and to do the MEDICAL again and done on the 25 March 2013 and the guard on duty received the additional requirements on the same day.

So far, my children are waiting. I even sacrifice not to enroll my youngest for the trimester (summer) because I assume they will receive their passport last april. THEY TOOK THEIR PASSPORT 08 AUGUST 2012. about to 9 months hold the passport.

finally got the visas for my kids.
Take note of this: DM when i checked on July 1 on eCAS but in the passport it was on 25 June. I wait until after 12 July 2013 no passport/visas yet then i emailed CEM,and replied me on monday 15 July (Phil Time) that they sent on 02 July thru WWWExpress in Isabela and they gave me the TRACKING NUMBER. The PASSPORT/VISAS had been sitting in WWWEXPRESS SANTIAGO CITY, ISABELA SINCE 03 JULY (1 HOUR DRIVE TO MY CHILDREN). SO I CALLED (FROM CANADA) THE HEAD OFFICE IN MANILA. ACCORDING TO THE WOMAN I SPOKE, THAT'S THEIR AGREEMENT. NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT. BUT WHY THEY DON'T BOTHER TO CALL YOU OR LET US KNOW THAT THE PASSPORT/VISAS ARE IN THEIR POSSESSION. email addresses, phone numbers are all in the application i'm pretty sure the embassy gave that info.
anyways, be aware just incase you are already DM in your application in permanent residence in eCAS. they used the courier in returning all the docs. after 3 days not yet arrive email the CEM right away.


Visa validity: June 28, 2014 - maybe its because my son still in 2nd year college but he stop this semester because of this waiting game.

Does your company have the right to hold your passport?

Yes, you have to do your medicals first before you submit your sponsorship application. A receipt from your medicals will be given to you and you have to include that when you send your application.

It depends ... the usual timeline I read from other threads in this forum is 7 to 14 weeks. Some are luckier to get their visa a month after their passport was requested.
 
PLEASE HELP :(

My mom had already finished her interview earlier. And CIC told her to wait for about 6 to 8 weeks for PR card.
She really needs to go back here due to personal reasons. In what aspects does CIC consider the urgent processing of PR? How long will it take? Thanks!

Has your mom landed in Canada already? If she still has her COPR she may be able to use that in lieu of not having her PR card yet.

If its not valid for travel then she will have to wait until her card arrives.

Is there anyone who could forward it to her in the Philippines once it arrives to her address here?

A CoPR is not a travel nor an entry document and cannot be used alone by itself to travel in and out of Canada.

If she has already landed, she can apply for a travel document to re-enter Canada. See here for more information:
