Newbie here....GREETS to all!

My wife and I have been quietly reading and soaking up information here...and assembling docs,supporting evidence, etc to prepare for a Spousal Visa for my wife...we were married in January of this year.

I THINK we're organized enough and she has finally shipped to me from the PH on Friday...documents are sitting in a FedEx can somewhere between here and Incheon and hopefully will arrive early this coming week and I can make the final organization and submit all to Mississauga :eek:)

I think we've been pretty thorough and I've managed to have our documents reviewed by a Visa processing business man. I think we're in pretty good shape!

Ive reviewed the latest info for sponsor approval times and what Im wondering.....can anybody give me feedback maybe on what current processing times are in Manila...I KNOW how the bureaucracy operates ANYWHERE and I've experienced it in the PH too...

Im hoping that because she was here with a Temp Visa for a month long visit in the Fall of 2012 it MIGHT be more smoother? Meds have been done and submitted...IM HOPEFUL it'll go quickly?

Would anybody have any feedback on any recent experiences relating to process times?

Thanks everybody in advance!!! :) ;D

The official posted processing time on CIC's website is 14 months for the Manila office.

You can get a pretty good idea of processing times by looking at this spreadsheet:

h t t p s ://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtCLbbZupkY_dHJRT2R1alhXS2xaUzFTcHZsTUhVbHc#gid=0

Right now PPRs are being sent for applications from Aug/Sept/Oct

Thanks...Ive been reading more here and have found the spreadsheets...and getting more of an idea what the timeline could be..Im thinking that the closure of Seoul and Tokyo VO is going to impact newer processing times...hence the change in the "stated" time line....it'll be interesting to see just how much impact this has on Manila.

processing times change every now and then. when we applied (my husband is canadian) his sponsorship was approved after a month. below is my timeline

sept. 17, 2012- sent/received CPC-M
oct. 19, 2012- sponsorship approved
oct. 23, 2012- my papers/application was received by Manila Visa office
may 9, 2013- passport request sent via email
may 13, 2013- passport sent to embassy(manila office) via AIR21
may 16, 2013- embassy received my passport
june 11, 2013- status online changed to "in process"


goodluck to your application. keep praying and be patient because Embassy do not give as much feedback within processing time. :(

Hi mekare1990, di ikaw mag se-send ng med result kundi yung physician mo. Pwede mo itanong sa clinic kung kelan nila i-send yung results sa Embassy. Normally, mache-check mo sa ecas mo sa CIC website kung na-received na nila yung med results mo.

Submitted my application : 25 March 2013
Medical Notice Issued : 07 May 2013
Undergoing Medical : 14 May 2013
forwarded Medical Results in Canadian Embassy: 27 June 2013
Still waiting for my Temporary Working Visa...

It caused some delay bcoz of PAFSO Strike...
But effective 26 Sept 2013
PAFSO has ordered an "IMMEDIATE SUSPENSION" of strike and work-to-rule measures by its member...

Hi..

received my LMO October 2012
sent my documents: January 2013
Medical Exam(not finish and will be going back): March 2013
Medical Exam(complete and finsih): April 1, 2013
St.Lukes clinic sent my Medical Results: May 4,2013 (i don't know why it took them a month :mad:)
October 2013: still waiting for updates/notifications and whatsoever
Emailed Them to follow up on but got an auto-reply saying that I should get a reply within 3 working days but it's been more than 7 working days since I sent the email..

Is there someone who can assist us with my inquiry. I'm losing hope and getting frustrated
Ang dami ko na pong na sacrifice dahil dito. Alot of opportunities that I turned down. The most that I turned down is when my friend offered me to lend me money to start my car buy and sell business. Turned them down since i'm thinking that I might be approve sooner or later.

Hi Guys.. i just want to share my bad news :(

well hindi pa naman talaga ako sure but i think denied ung visa application ko. :( i got a text from air21 saying that I am going to receive a letter/package. Well, wala nman akong ini-expect na dadating bukod sa canada embassy at yun din ang gamit ko nung sinend ko rquirements ko. I just know na denied ako ksi i didn't received any emails stating that I'm approved at sa mga pagbabasa ko dito, lahat ng hindi nkakatanggap ng email and mail lng ang natanggap is denied nga.. Pero verify ko pa yan mmaya pag dating sa bahay, andto po kasi ako sa office ngyon pero i'm not hoping na.. goodluck po sa inyo guys!

salamat sa mga tumulong sakin dito.

i will wish and pray all the best for you and hopefully i'm the last one who will be denied.


sa mga kapwa ko na deny, inom nalng po tayo, bday ko sa oct.25 pero ambagan po, hindo ko po libre. i'm from marikina. text nyo po ako if ever gusto nyo ko damayan. hehe!
here's my number, 09272961903
masarap ang alak sa mga panahon na to at ang sarap ng bday gift ko. hehe!
