Thanks IKON...she calls it NARNYA..Her one visit to Canada was in the Fall of 2012.. and she was cold..She'll understand it more down the road!!
Your wife will land at a better time now. NARNYA will be gone, springtime.
Congrats, have a safe flight and enjoy the feeling of relief this nightmare is over.

Congrats! And welcome to Narnia to your wife! Now you will have to bring her by for Tea :) $$$$
She will have to land by her medical expiration date.. a year from the last medical although sometimes they don't have that exactly correct in their files, some were a few weeks later.

Hello Wella, I see that you applied on June 7 and received pp request on November 25, so your application was processed in 5 months. Any idea why the visa office in Makati processed your application so fast? Do you live in Typhoon affected area?
