Hello everyone.. Help naman po.. Tatanong ko lang kung hindi ba talaga ako pwede umalis ng Canada habang nakaprocess yung application ng asawa ko? Gusto ko po sana umuwi sa pinas eh.


Thank you!
@ anndc89

nasa CEM na ba application nyo??

well based on our own experience, nung nasa CEM na application ko, umuwi ang husband ko and stayed for 3 months sa pilipinas.. wala naman negative effect na nangyari sa application namin.. nakatulong pa nga kasi i was then emailed by the embassy na may interview, so kasama ko sya sa embassy di naman nila tinanong y sya nagbakasyon while the application is in process...

;D ;D

Hi I know how you feel right now but try to understand more your wife and don't be mad. You need to realize that she's gonna be there for a while
after all and her life will not be the same again. I am in the same boat as your wife, i received my visa and my son's last Feb. 29 but I asked my husband if I can still be here until May 23 for I still want to be here on my Mom's birthday and brother's house blessing and so far all is good my husband will pick me up on May and will even have a time with my family. He supports me all the way with my decision. Though he's a Canadian but he respects the family ties of the Filipino culture and it's something good. Try to talk to her and understand each other for it's not going to be easy to embrace a new life after all.

All the best!
