SPOUSE / FAMILY CLASS timeline MANILA Visa Office PHILIPPINES

[agentorange]

May 2014 applicant here.

April 13 - CEM called requesting to go to CEM on April 16 for visa stamping. Told me to bring my passport (since I didnt get any PPR thru mail/email).
April 16 - Brought my passport to CEM then got it back by the end of the day with visa attached. (Visa valid til May 29, 2015; same time as meds expiry.)
April 18 - ECAS changed to DM. ;D ;D

Question;
Which seminar do I need to attend? Is there anything else I need to do? Thank you.

Hindi cla nag bebase sa medical kasi if nag be-base sila eh di sana matagal pa nila ibibigay yung visa ko. Last January lang ako nagpasa ng medical kasi na hold yun dahil buntis ako nung nag file kami ng application. Depende ata yun sa agents na nag hahandle ng papers natin.

Hi question,
i have submitted my husband's application and I noticed that I answered one question incorrectly.
Question was have you resided in other countries other than Canada,and I incorrectly answered no,should have been yes. They have already received my application and could no longer rectify the mistake. Will it result to refusal?

Hi. We'll submit our application next week. Ask ko lang po alin ang document checklist na dapat sundin?

Yung IMM 5443 po ba? Or yung 3905E na specific for Philippines? Nalilito po kami.

Tsaka ilan din po ang pinadala niyong photos ng principal applicant? Tama po ba 9 pictures lang? Kasi yung 3905E sabi 9pcs of pictures ang kailangan isubmit, pero dun sa IMM5443 sabi 2 pcs of pictures lang.

Hi,
Your wife can certAinly apply for medical exam even before sponsorship application... Upfront medical is allowed and encouraged for spouse applications. However, I suggest you complete all other requirements first prior to medical exam since the latter can be the most expensive. NBI clearance has to be put last too since you have to submit it 3 months after the date of issue.

First of all, you have to have an nso copy of your marriage cert, which will still take months after your wedding to be released. The rest of the "other" requirements are listed in the cic website so make sure you complete them first

Hello
Did you submitted your sponsorship application for your wife? I just got married last March and I'm going to sponsor my husband. How long did you wait before you can request an NSO marriage certificate?

Thanks much

Hello guys
Just wanna ask some info pertaining to spousal sponsorship. I just got married last March 2015, and I'm going to sponsor my husband in the Philippines. Need your ideas to this following questions:

1.) Do I have to inform any government agency here in Canada like CIC for my PR card to change my last name to married name/my husbands last name?

2.) Notice of Assesment is one of the requirement for a sponsor to submit. How much is the income bracket of a sponsor for me to qualify to sponsor my husband?

thank you for sharing your ideas.

If that is true,have you ever seen someone after got dm and waited 7 months before getting visa? Plus mentioning it,is like our medical and some documents won't expire before oct comes? That makes no sense at all.

Hi there As I know once you were DM on your ECAS, you wait for 2 weeks visa delivery by DHL or LBC and sometimes the CEM phone the applicant if they would like to pick up their passport with visa at the embassy! ;D

Normally it will be scanned automatically after 5-6 months by the NSO and you can get a copy from them after that delay. If you wanted to have it done in less time (3 weeks to a month) you had to request (maybe still possible) an advanced endorsement from the City Hall or office that managed your license. It costs a few pesos (500 if I remember well).

In my case, I went to NSO after a month and it was in the system. I asked for copies and it took 3 open days to get them.

Hi! Got married last feb. I'm still waiting for my option c to be avilable. Called CRA several times but they haven't received my docs yet since my accountant filed it thru mail. Back to your question, you need not to call cic to change your last name.. I still use my maiden name in my application. I believe it's your choice as to when to change your last name or if you would want to use it. I will do that when my husband is already here. hehe what you may want to do is to update your cra my account from single to married so you will have bigger tax return next yr. hehe
2nd question No, there is no income req for you to sponsor your spouse. as long as you have a job then that would be fine.

Hi Sis Dalawa ang Checklist, isa sa Sponsor at isa sa Applicant. Sa Photos sa applicant 9 photos yun. Ang checklist nang Sponsor ko ay IMM 5491 Document Checklist Sponsor, pero yung Document Checklist na tinutukoy mo ay IMM 5443 Checklist Spouse/Common law in Canada, ang pagkaka alam ko is pareho kayong nasa Canada na mag apply. Ako as applicant andito sa pinas, sponsor ko nasa Canada kaya checklist Sponsor IMM5491 or outside Canada. Sana nakatulong ako kahit pano!
