Mother @ #$%! stupid Bastar$#!!!!! I am so fed up with the Bull**** from CEM! I know now why people do bad things in fits of rage!

+3, what happened??

+3, what happened??

I think I'm on the same rage mode as auditt. I just saw in CEM's website that if you drop off your documents, it will take longer. And coincidentally, that's what we did.

- Delayed transfer from CPC-M to CEM
- No GCMS notes after 6 weeks and counting
- MP's ignoring me
- Sent documents to dropbox = longer wait times

I need a drink. Tagum, need company? :-\

 

[Dan_from_Surrey]

Well, for what it is worth, it took CPC M 3 months to get our papers to CEM. Even though that was longer than other people, it was still less than the 4 months it took the consulate (Phil's) in Vancouver to move papers from one side of the office to the other.

With that one I got fed up finally and staged a one man sit in I the reception area, and said "I will wait for the guy who is responsible to come back, and talk to him" (keep in mind I had a 9 am appointment with him, and was there at 9 am) about 11:30 he came out of the back end, and magically my papers where finally to be on their way that week.

So I feel your pain, I think we all do to some degree.

Where does it say that?

If you mean this...

Drop-Box*

*Please note that applications that are submitted through the drop-box will take longer to process. If your request is urgent we recommend that you apply online or submit your application through the VAC.

The Drop-Box for the Visa and Immigration Section of the Canadian Embassy in Manila (accessible at all hours) is located at:

Basement 4
RCBC Plaza
6819 Ayala Avenue
Makati City
Philippines

That is referring to new applications (notice they mention the VAC, that isn't us). My wife told me there are 4 different boxes there each for different types of documents. The one you want is the family class one. The others are for tourist visas, OFW, etc.

I am seeking advice too on how and on what kind of visa can my son who is 23 y/o apply for while our application is on process because he can't come with us due to his age and his non continuing education in college...

thanks in advance to all of you for your help...
