Hi CC79,

Congrats :) Just want to know how long before you got your passport back from the visa office? Thanks
Hi Skye,

My wife submitted her passport on March 21st and got it back April 11th.

They said they will email or SMS once it's ready but we didn't get it. Not an issue for us though. We just kept checking VFS tracking everyday . Once we got the update that it was forwarded to the courier. We used the same tracking number on the 2go tracking.

Guys, makakaapekto ba at pwedeng maging dahilan kaya matagalan ang processing dahil maraming napuntahan na lugar abroad as a tourist? Mga travels na less than 6 months. Please any idea! Thank you!

That may be a possibility as the case managers investigate your history. It may take longer but it should not hinder from getting the visa issued. Unless there is something in your history that may be a red flag.

Hi CC79,

Thanks for your reply. I have read some posts that it took 5mos for VFS to return their passport with the visa.
I am in Canada right now visiting, and will be delivering our first baby in July, do you know if I can wait for my PR here and if I can send my passport from Canada? I am December applicant and expecting to get a good news from CIC sometime around July and August :)

Thanks again

Anyone here who undergo PSYCHOLOGICAL check up?

Yung husband ko kase may scar ng previous na paglalaslas from his teenage days. Ngayon nakita yun at pina-pa-meet sya sa psychologist (which is additional bayad).

Hi Skye,

This is weird. I'm actually unsure how you can work around that. I don't think VFS will take that long. So far the average I've seen is 2 and a half weeks from submission of passport to VOH. Based on my prior conversations with some consultants and embassy employees you have to receive your visa from your originating country and fly in after as there is also an immigration process you need to undergo upon arrival. It was originally me and my wife's plan to fly in together and wait for the application to be completed while she's here in Canada with e but found it impractical as since there is no accurate timetable she will have to fly in and out and not have a job.

Guys,

Ask ko lang if meron po ba dito naka experience na pagkuha ng police clearance sa kuwait? Kasi nag work ako before sa kuwait for almost 5 years meron ako police clearance but expired na. meron kasi ako nabasa sa website ng CIC but i want
an actual experience kasi for sure that is 100% sure.

Salamat po.
