Hi sis maplecanada,

Kumusta Sis? Tama ka pagka march 10, ppr din ako gaya mo. Hindi ko ini expect and very wonderful present to us with my husband as our anniversary gift while we are in vacation sa Palawan.
Yong sa akin passport at appendix a lang ang hiningi sa CIC. So about 4 months only til i received my ppr since we sent our application to Mississauga on October 31st, 2014.
Sana sana tuloy tuloy na to sa ating lahat.
Hello sis,

We are on the same timeline. Pls update me as well if theres any progress. Na mail ko na rin ang passport ko and the appendix a. Thanks.

hello po veryhappywife! tanong lang ako kung nag upfront medical ka rin ba? Kasi ang nasa ecas ko ngayon ay katulad lang nung #1 (app received) at #3 (med results received). kelan kaya ako magkakaroon ng katulad ng entry mo sa no. 2? Mas nauna rin ba nag appear yung medical mo? (Kung nag upfront ka)...Hehe thank you!

We used agency to handle our papers.Direct lang yung medical ko,pagkatapos ibinigay ng agency namin ang option c for medical. actually , we don't get any changes of our status online until we got an email from them and saw at ecas that it was decision made,medical received and was reviewed march 20..before,we just got current and email address,aside from that nothing.and was really great it was done and we will be together soon with my husband ..I love it a lot,I miss very very much! I know everyone miss each other too to their husbands/ wives ,but wishing all things great for everybody..goodluck !and may all you have visas soon. ;) everyone should be strong and be positive .

Thank you so much.
Hey just wanted to let you know that some people get processed in 3 months and some people take more than two years. I thought my husband's case would be a straight forward easy case but we have already been waiting more than 20 months and just finally have gone to "in process" this month. If you filed a complete application without the need for any additional documentation then chances will probably be good that they can process you faster but if you missed something be prepared to have your file put in a queue for a long long time. My husband didn't have a criminal record check from one of the countries that he lived in and so he was delayed even though we sent the document right away after they requested it. Applicants who have applied a year after him are already getting their visas and he still hasn't got his. Also, applicants who are not from the Philippines seem to generally take longer. You have a long wait ahead, don't expect to hear anything for about 7-9 months. If you hear something faster then consider yourself lucky!
