Sorry to hear that you have been waiting over 12 months now to get a decision made for the sponsorship you filed, You should still be able to contact your MP even if you have a representative. You should also request notes but use a Canadian contact number and address when you do so.

If you don't mind sharing your timeline, please?

Thanks
Thanks! Time is really tough right now going through this.

We sent you correspondence on September 30, 2016. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible.

There were further rounds of correspondence and another round of medical exam which was not updated on here for some reason. Maybe because I have an agent, not everything round of conversations are reflected here? Is this even normal?

Sorry but you mentioned I could till contact the MP, what is an MP? Is there a number that I can dial to talk to anyone or is everything done by email. Do you guys know what the email is?

Hi, I'm not really sure right now who you should call since your application was already transferred in Manila visa office. But you can still try to call Mississauga from Hongkong using hangout app. Download it from your phone, you need a gmail account and US or Canadian number to call for free. Dial +1 613 944 4000 and press 1, it will automatically connect you to CIC hotline number. And then you can personally asks them about your situation. I hope it helps you somehow

Thanks. This is the Mississauga number. Do you think they will entertain our calls that our application is in Manila? Anyone has a Philippines number that we might call?

Many did especially those whose application is already over 12 months. Your MP will be able to find out if everything is done yet or any concerns that may still being noted about the application. But if you have already provided everything that was asked then you should be fine :)

Btw, no biggie about the questions​. Continue to ask away. We are all here to help and lighten up each other :)

Ay sister nakakaloka ka. Hehe. Nung nag-PM ka tinanong kita kung late registered ang BC mo. Hehe. Kung saan-saan pa tayo napunta. Hehe. Late lang pala. Okay lang yan. Don't worry.
Hi prvc,ung birth cert din ni hubby eh late registered pero nag provide kami ng copy ng old passport niya. Pero may mga lists ng documents for proof of identity dun sa country specific requirements, kailangan ba isend lahat ng nasa list nila? Or ung copy ng old passport eh enough na?

Hi tonyk, we have almost the same timeline. And yes contacting your MP is a big help to your app. Before, we don't have any idea whats happening to my app. Our last update in my ecas was nov 23,2016 and after that no more. Till my husband contacted his MP and he explained everything about my app (thru email) and by that time my app is almost a year and the MP told him the processing time in philippines is 12 months. But he asked my birthdate to get more info about my app.. They have access inside, and yes we got a good news from MP that everythings done and just wait for the decision. after 2 weeks got my PPR and now VOH and im leaving on April 18th.give it a try,1st find your MP and send him/her an email or call. At least you'll know whats happening.. Goodluck, i hope this will help..

Haha. Luuuuhhh. Ganern talagern. Charot! Pinaka-importanete ang Baptismal Cert. :) Good luck! :)
Eto ung nasa country specific requirements:

If a birth is registered late, or if there is no record of registration of birth with the Philippine Statistics Authority, then additional proof of identity must be submitted, such as copies of documents from this list (originals may be requested for verification):
Baptismal certificate,
Hospital/medical birth record,
Permanent elementary and high school records,
Old passports,
Birth certificate issued by the Local Civil Registrar.

Baptismal certificate kakakuha lang namin para dun requirements nung wedding, kaso wala kaming copy na naiwan aaawww tapos ung form 137 ni hubby nung elem
And highschool nasa bicol pa waaaaaahh dapat asikasuhin na pala. Paano po ang gusto nila pag submit pag nirequest na nila yan?
