hey Kalie, malapit na yan! Actually mga 7 months from when my ECAS status changed to "In Process" bago ako nag PPR, ang tagal! And there were other July/August applicants who had theirs before mine lol nag-email ako once and they just replied with a generic email that said my application was still within processing time but I did request for GCMS notes twice kaya mejo confident ako dun sa application namin since nakalagay dun sa eligibility namin is "recommend passed". sobrang tagal lang talaga nun waiting time haha

Nabalitaan ko rin un bagong tool na yan, parang mas okay na intayin mo na lang, ilang days lang naman. Sa narinig ko para sya GCMS notes combined with ECAS. And yep, GCMS notes take about 30 days so malamang may ppr ka na before dumating sa yo haha

We'll be submitting our application na finally this week, but I wanted to ask a few questions from people here especially yung mga PPR na or landed na. Ito background: ako yung sponsor. We have a daughter who's a Canadian citizen. Dito na siya pinanganak. Nagvisit kami ng daughter ko nung December til February. Her daddy and I got married in January. Madami naman kaming proof of relationship and all, I just have a few clarifications. Some of these questions have been asked before but I didn't find any answers. Here goes:

1. Kailangan pa ba ng MMR vaccine? Nung time na ako ang sinisponsor required yun, pero dependent ako sa family class and we didn't do the medicals upfront. My husband did his upfront but he was told to wait for more requirements. Gusto ko sana lahat isubmit na para walang delays, so kung pwede na magpa vaccine, I will ask him to go back to get it done na.

2. Do I need to submit my daughter's original birth certificate? All dependents daw kasi, pero si baby namin naman di na kailangan isponsor now or ever so medyo unclear to sakin.

3. Natanong ko na to a few times pero tatanong ko ulit since nafill out ko na ang forms completely this time. Kailangan ba talaga lagyan ng N/A lahat ng questions that don't apply to us? Some forms kasi don't let us do this from the computer. So should we write N/A sa fields after printing na lang?

4. Is it necessary to write a cover letter? O straightforward application lang with the checklist and forms and required documents?

5. Yung checklist, should we provide lang yung may check na o bukod dun magpapasa pa ng isa pa na blank? Sa dulo kasi nakalagay na magsubmit ng copy nung checklist. I may be overthinking pero I wanna be sure bago magsubmit para no delays hehe.

I'm gonna pay na rin today and print the receipt. I'm gonna include everything na that my husband sent me (signed forms, proof of medical, 9 photos) to avoid any delays. And then I can finally post my timeline. Mga 1 year din ako nagbabasa dito and this forum has been really helpful. Thank you sa magbabasa ang makakasagot ng questions ko! God bless everyone and good luck sa applications nating lahat

I'm on my phone but I'll try to answer your questions as best as I can (I will just clarify when I get home later on my computer)

1. Not sure about MMR vaccine, it was not required for me. The doctor who did your medical should tell you everything you need. I'm not sure if they check your blood titers for vaccines on the test since I never saw my results

2. I'll have to look this up again but I don't think you need to since the 'dependents' they are referring to are children/spouses that need to be sponsored and since your daughter is already a Canadian citizen, it doesn't apply to her. Again I'm not sure about this, best to call the CIC call centre to ask them.

3. I suggest writing N/A on all the questions that are not applicable to you so CIC will know for sure that you read all the questions and you didnt just forget/overlook some items. I just wrote it with a pen after I printed it.

4. I didn't write a cover letter but we each wrote a personal statement as part of the 'proof of ongoing relationship'. There were some who didn't write anything and they were still approved. In my case, it made me feel at ease having the personal statement, it provided a more personal touch to your application and gives you a chance to explain anything that you think the application questions didnt cover. Doesn't have to be novel length, ours was just one page.

5. As far as I know, you only need 2 checklists - the one for the sponsor documents and the one for the principal applicant. Both of them have to be checked for all the requirements or written N/A if it doesn't apply to you. Don't send a blank one!

Good luck on your application! I have a feeling applicants these year will go through faster than last year's with all the changes CIC is doing

Hi there,

Im new on this forum.
I just got married last month sa GF ko na PR sa Canada.

Im currently working in Dubai, UAE.

Saan po kaya mas mainam n magprocess ng spousal sponsorship dito na sa Dubai/Abu Dhabi or sa Manila Visa Office?
San po ba mas mabilis? Kasi ang lumalabas sa CIC website same 12months ang processing time.

Thanks in Advance

 

[jenganda37]

Hi Aldrinisko

You can't choose which visa office to process your application, it's up to CIC to decide where to send it after processing it in Missisauga, but I think the trend is they send it to the country where you're originally from.

Tinitignan ko yung timeline mo Sis, Magkasunod ng araw kayo ng flight nila misis at daughter ko. Wala pa VOH pero ibook ko na sila ng ticket kasi habang palapit ng palapit ang July eh ang mahal ng ticket. Hoping na VOH na sila next week or this coming week
