What is the status of your wife in canada is she permanent or citizen?

Hi mmg777,

Thank you for your reply, I do appreciate it.

She is holding an open permit right now and on Feb. 2009 she applied for a PR for both of us. Last Oct. 05, 2010 the application package have already forward to Manila. Would this have affect the processing time since we both applied for the PR at the same time?

Our CSQ – Québec Selection Certificate also is already approved as a requirement if you are moving to Quebec.

Thanks again.

Regards,
Albert

When CEM sent the letter requesting for medicals, the section A form was included together with the old pictures pasted on the form. I was sent a scanned copy of the letter and the forms. I called different DMPs and 2 out 3 said that they need the original since it is being processeed by CEM. If it will be processed abroad then they will accept a scanned copy of the letter and section A form.

I was just asked to re-take the medicals and no mention of getting new NBI clearance considering that my first medicals was done september 2009 and thats when i got my NBI clearance as well.

I just received today the re-medical request from CEM... Medical Report Section A form with my photo paste on it... They gave me 60 days to comply.

Requirement on Re-medical
1. Valid ID
2. Eye glasses (only if you wear them)
3. Any previous medical report/history.
4. Seven (7) recent passport size photos showing frontal view of head and shoulders for each person requiring medical exam.
5. Original copy of the request letter from CEM

Question.. Do i have to submit another set (7 pcs) of passport size photos as indicated in the request letter? I already submitted photos on the first medical test.

Hi to everyone,

I am a new guy here, google happened to show this forum in my searching for an answer to our doubts. My wife is Canada and I am here in the Philippines, below is our timeline..it's almost 2 "tyears" of waiting now :'(

Feb. 2010 Application Submitted
Oct 2010 Application Package received @ Manila stated 15 months of processing time
Apr 2011 Wife Interview @ Canada
Jun 2011 Received CSQ
Jan 2012 Waiting for further instructions
Jan. 30, 2012 - E-Cas mailing address disappear
Feb. 2012 - ????

It's already 15 months have passed from the time they have received my application but up to now, I haven't got any updates. Last Jan. 2012(1st week), I went to the embassy(makati) personally and fill up an enquiry form and they did reply to my email saying that due to significant inventory of application for review they haven't seen my application yet and they told me that it is still in the normal processing time. Well I presume, when you say 15 months, isn't that everything are already done, the medical and others?

But we are still hoping for a good things to happened, if I may ask, what would be the next step to out timeline/status?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Albert

@ beertoo

hi!! i just want to share my opinion...

based on your story your wife is still holding an open permit.. i think thats the reason why your application is still in process...
because from what i know you can only sponsor your family/wife/husband if your a permanent resident or citizen here in canada.. ;D

@raniloc
i'll have my re-med tomorrow at nationwide. i called them yesterday regarding requirements. they're asking for the original passport. i told them that the embassy has it. so they're asking me to bring: 3 photocopy of passport if possible or 3 photocopy of valid ID with bithdate, 5 passport pix and others you mentioned. BTW, i submitted my new NBI clearance kanina kasi expired na din.

Hi,

Has anybody ever gone down to CEM to find out why it takes so long?
My med will expire in Feb. and I'm concerned that if we pass that date it will add another month to waiting time.
She is due to give birth in April and soon it will be too late to Fly.
Then you have to wait another 2 months after birth to get a Canadian passport for new baby.


I would love to know why some people get Visa 2 weeks from PPR and some people are 3 months?

So stressed...

I just received today the re-medical request from CEM... Medical Report Section A form with my photo paste on it... They gave me 60 days to comply.

Requirement on Re-medical
1. Valid ID
2. Eye glasses (only if you wear them)
3. Any previous medical report/history.
4. Seven (7) recent passport size photos showing frontal view of head and shoulders for each person requiring medical exam.
5. Original copy of the request letter from CEM

Question.. Do i have to submit another set (7 pcs) of passport size photos as indicated in the request letter? I already submitted photos on the first medical test.

hi! Yes you need to submit updated passport size photos. since the original photos submitted were taken over a year ago and they require photos not more than 6 months old at the time of medicals. also the clinic will ask for a photocopy of a valid id...if you have copies of your passport that would be best. 3 copies for each individual. same pa din ang rates...

Php3000 medicals and additional Php1000 for HIV testing. I had mine at Dra Timbol's clinic Dec 28. due to the holidays they were able to send the results to CEM Jan 16. usually takes 7-10 days before they get to transmit.

The request letter only mentioned re-medical... I think my NBI clearance is closed to expiration...Im not sure if they will ask to renew it.. :

 

[raniloc]

Out of curiosity... If they ask for re-medical.... is it safe to say Visa is approve???
