Thank you for your well wishes. No need to be jealous. All applications have their own timeline. The information came from CEM as a response to an email sent from our MP asking why passport was being held for so long.

Yes, I received a call from my MP and he told me that they have sent the file for background check
and that was the situation...
But he advise me that if the file was approaching the expiration date to the medical examinations, then
I go back and he would see what he can do to help...
So, if nothing change from now to the end of December, then I think that I will be going back ...

But at this stage I can see that everybody is in the same situation,
just a few files seem to be moving, plenty of files from 2013 still waiting,
So, we are just watching how everything develops... and waiting, like everybody else.

Going back to your mp? Ah ok becuz we have the same timeline my medical will expire on January to. So I see they just send your papers for background check.

[size=12pt]Demonstration in Ajax, Ontario November 13th
[/size]
All of you who have been waiting to be united with your loved ones!

All of you who are fed up with endless, ever increasing processing times!

Come and join a demonstration in Ajax at the Honorable Chris Alexander's constituency office on November 13th at 2:00 PM
For those of you who don't know, Chris Alexander is the Minister of Immigration and Citizenship. He is also the MP of Ajax / Pickering. He's been closing visa processing centres, not caring how will that affect families that are kept apart.

If we get 15 people to demonstrate... we'll make it into the newspapers. If we get 150 people... we'll make it into the evening news on TV. That is the only time CIC will pay attention, so let us do it!

Please join our FB group https://www.facebook.com/groups/769729313073859/

and mark your calendars! You owe it to yourself to do this!

Maybe you don't have to do remed. The visa officer might just extend your medical, cuz it's been 3 months already when your medical expired.

Well, your original statement was a little confusing, as it implied that everyone, including Canadians, Koreans and Japanese, should speak Tagalog if they want their application processed faster.

As for Phillippino-Canadian couples speaking Tagalog, I suppose that can help. But probably if the sponsored person has a good level of English, that would probably be just as good, if not better.
Ok I really don't understand this. The whole PR application is in English, not a word of Tagalog in there. What does language have to do with it? CEM may never physically talk to either of us unless they ask my Filipino wife for an interview. She can speak both Tagalog and English.

Surely everyone that works at CEM on processing at PR applications for Canada has a firm grasp of the English language.
