And the fun continues....

Just got an email from them that they need a Lebanon Security Certificate from us. The same one we already sent in, with an English translation bought and paid for. Took us 3 months to get it. :(
I emailed them back, I hope they can find it......not very confident right now. They did find our medical after we emailed them a 2nd time so hopefully that's a sign of things to come.

I really need some advice.

Got an email from manila stating they do not believe i have convinced them i will return to canada once sponsor approval is made. Since then i have managed to secure a job offer and i am planning to book one way airline tickets to canada. Do you think this is enough?

I was also hoping to book the tickets for december 15th so that i can be home for christmas. Given the stage of the application process i am at, is it reasonable to assume the visa would be issued by then if they are satisfied i am returning to canada? My ppr was 2 weeks ago and now they came back with that email a few days ago.

Help!

I am on a temporary student visa but will stop once approval goes through.

Thanks for our advice
cant make any judgements with that little information,,,,don't know if your a pr man woman gay,,,,,no timeline gone to where ever,,,if your married commonlaw conjugal,,,,,,,,,,,dec 15 date would be suspicious of course for Christmas vacation but with a letter of employment to go to for jan 1 would be acceptable

Hello Irisgirl! I just read your post, can't help but to share my experience. I went here in Canada with my 2 years old girl, that was 2012 under spousal application also. CEM sent me a form for vaccination record for my lil girl. I ended up going to her pediatrician in UST Manila to fill up the form and sign on it. I thought they will check my toddler's vaccine record at the port of entry but they didn't. They said that's for school purpose and daycare. I went to clsc to update my girl's record and they gave me a canadian vaccine book. Until now, her vaccine continues. Hope that helps a bit. ^_^

Yup, cem sent me the form together with the passport and copr. Nagtaka pa nga ako kung bakit may vaccination form. I have no idea kung pede mo irequest sa cem, maybe you can email them about it. Wala kase ako scanner dito, pede ko send sayo yung form. May blank page pako kase pinaphotocopy ko ng madami.
