My husband also went to St.Luke's for medical. Nirequire sya ng psych test and meet the psychiatrist/psychologist. Kaloka! Additional bayad and another punta ulit. Nung bumalik sya for the test, wala pang 5mins ang procedure at ok na daw sya! What the heck.

Nakakadismaya lang na reputable hospital naman ang St.Luke's pero kailangan pa nilang mang "raket".
Ay grabe. This really bad. We have to post also don sa manila visa forum para aware din yun iba applicants.
This is sad. Tataas kita IOM. hehe di ako stock holder nang IOM to advertise them.IOM is doing a decent way of living and dont cheat sa mga applicants, blessings will overflow.

Hi guys,

Meron ba dito PR sa Canada tapos umuwi ng pinas for marriage? Yun kasi ang balak namin ng fiance ko early next year. Uuwi ako, papakasal kami then pasa na ng application right after marriage. Alam nio po ba kung may need pa akong documents na dalhin pauwi? Baka kasi may ma-miss ako sayang yung time. May nabasa ako yung Legal Capacity to Marry Certificate kaya lang di ko alam saan ba sya kukunin, Ph embassy ba dito or sa Manila. Salamat po sa sasagot :) God bless sa lahat ng applications nyo
Asawa ko umuwi kami 3 weeks before wedding date. Your marriage license requirements. If of age na kayo(24 above ata), no need na for seminar sa city hall.You have to file for marriage license before the actual date of marriage. :)

Sabi lang po nung doctor, si hubby din daw ganoon ginawa po. Sabi nung doctor, requirement na dapat mavaccinate ka na before magland, and upon landing dala yung certificate.

Actually sabi ko nga meron na akong MMR na pwedeng wag na lang, kasi ang mahal din, wala lang akong baby book na dala. So mandatory raw lalo na kung wala namang proof. Opo, ippresent daw sabi ni doc and nung nurse, I asked kasi when ba yun ipapakita. :)

Paano po ba experience ninyo?
I'm really disappointed with St Luke's. That's where we plan to have our med exam done but they are now a no-no for us. Imagine how many countries they are being accredited of, so ang laki ng kita nila or ng doctors just for that add-ons na hindi naman mandatory. I asked yung isang buddy-member dito, kakaalis lang nila earlier this month and wanted to confirm kung hinanapan ba talaga sila ng MMR vaccine cert upon landing and she said NO, nothing at all about medical results, except need nya lang yung medical records ng kids nya para sa schooling.

I reviewed nga yung response nila sa tanong ko before if MMR vaccine is really required for adults and how come hindi sya kasama sa list of procedure as posted on their website. They came back saying as of 2014, Canadian embassy daw is "encouraging" applicants to provide proof of this MMR thingy upon entry to Canada. Re-reading that response and now the posts shared here about this mess, it is obvious na hindi sya mandatory and they have no right no withhold the med result due to applicants if applicant will resist taking such. Tama yung isang member (di ko na ma-recall kung sino sa dami ng na-missed kong posts :) ) dito na pag nandun na sa Canada pwede gawin yung mga ganung vaccines and kung kailangan lang talaga.

Kaloka si St Luke's or yung mga doctors nila assigned to conduct exam sa mga immigrant applicants.

Nagpamedical ung husband ko sa IOM Makati. He wasn't asked to do that MMR. He is already passed sa medical eligibility sa MyCiC.

And I never heard that thing na kailangan ipresent yun upon landing kasi if it is really mandatory sana nung nagpamedical si hubby nirequire sya.
Sana marami pang mag-share ng experience nila dun sa mga nagpa-med sa IOM, esp yung mga recent lang or within the year.

queenAce is right, for Canadian citizen lang ang Legal Capacity. Would suggest paasikaso mo na sa future hubby mo yung mga requirements na kailangan to apply for marriage license, ie, CENOMAR para pagdating mo available na and need nyo mag provide din ng 1x1 photo for the application. 10 days bago ma-release ang license once filed. If civil ang plan nyo, dapat meron na din kayo preferred place and location ng wedding/reception venue. Saka dapat me lineup na kayo ng mga guests nyo. If need nyo ng Solemnizing Officer, pm mo ko, pwede ko irecommend sayo yung nag officiate sa min :) If ever lang na civil nga kayo, dapat nag-i-scout na kayo ng SO kasi baka karamihan ng mapagtanungan nyo eh mga booked na. Make sure din na updated ang license nung SO. Nweis, just sharing based on our experience.

Hello po meron po ba naka experience sa inyo na hindi kayo nakakatanggap ng email? Sobrang delayed ang updates samin ng hubby ko. Nagpasa kami ng application namin early December 2015 tapos we waited for aor pero wala kaya nag call si hubby and we found out na merong nadoblend paper sa pinasa namin na may signature kaya for return. Binalik samin after a month, and then pinasa ulit namin early March 2016. Nagpadala sila once ng mail kay hubby acknowledging him as the sponsor and that qualified siya to sponsor me. Tapos po, wala na kami ulit narinig until tumawag sila kay hubby early September 2016 telling us na in process na daw and it will take at most 6 months. Wala kasi kaming nakukuhang kahit isang email from them and nag wworry ako. May ganung cases din po ba dito? Puro mail (post) lang at call? Sa mga nababasa ko po kasi lahat may email na natatanggap. Salamat po.

Hello there,

My app has been filed last April 25 as on what's stated on my timeline here. I and my partner decided not to include my payment on RPRF upon submitting of our app and opt to wait until we are required to do so. Last July 29, I received an email from manilimmigration (AOR2) asking us to pay the fee of $490.00. Hence, I’ve had sent them the same right away. Fortunately, I received a prompt reply from them asserting that they’ve had allocated our payment. From that day on, I never receive any emails until now. The silence is literally killing me. My queries are the following if you don’t mind:

(1) Is it possible to still get refused after you were asked to pay the RPRF?

(2) No emails, No updates. Is this good or bad?

Apologies, if I sounded like frustrated on the processing of my app. I know that -same with all the applicants here, who are still on queue for their visa approval and who are like waiting more than 6 months even years or so, I have no right to complain. Nonetheless, I can’t help myself not to check mycic account every single day here at the office, only to find that there’s no any further update on the status of my BG. It feels like I’m on the end of my rope but patience is truly a virtue and essential these days.

Thank you in advance and Godbless! :) :D

Kayo talaga tinawagan? Nag hire ba kayo ng consultant or direct applicant? Request kayo ng GCMS notes just like what others are doing after few months they submitted the'r app. Mas detailed kasi ang info dun.

I don't think its a ground for refusal. My VO is like yours.. after AOR1 and SA wala na.So we ordered gcms notes and june we saw our record was recommended pass na sa elligibility after that nag email na si LVP for PPR noon oct 4. Then neto Oct 21, naman pre arrival services to canada.

So no news means good news. Sometimes during those waiting and moments of silence,that's when God is working on your behalf. Pray lang :) PUSH= Pray Until Something Happens :)
