BECAUSE IM MARRIED TO A FILIPINA MY CHILDREN ARE SRUTINIZED, THE RCMP HAVE CHECKED OUT MY WIFE TO MAKE SURE MY CHILDREN ARE NOT AFILIATED WITH TERORISTS. IM GLAD SHE DOESNT LIVE IN ZAMBOANGA, THEY WOULD PROBABLY GIVE MY KIDS PAID ABSENCE FROM WORK
That probably adds to the time then. The security portion of your file might be what is holding things up as they are doing all these additional checks. At least it is nicer to think they are holding your app up for the security of the country rather than using it as a footstool to reach the top shelf.

EVERY ONE IN THE PHILS ARE FIRST VIEWED AS A TERROIST, IT DOESNT MATTER IF YOUR SPONSOR HAS CHILDREN IN THE RCMP

Opo pero kung Personal History lang po ang need nyo gawa nalang po kayo ng format sa MS Excel gayahin nyo nlang po yung nasa form ng Schedule A na Personal History ganun din po kasi ang ginawa ko sa mga continuation ko at sa pinadala sa akin ng CEM before Personal History lang sya na format yun lang ginaya ko pero make sure na ilagay ang name sa taas (left side) file number (right side) mga ganun po meron po akong post sa kabilang thread about sa query nyo . Congrats po :

Note: make sure ang Personal History ay NO GAPS sa mga dates at month usually yan ang reason kung bakit 2-3 times ako pinaulit ng CEM at gusto nila malaman ang MOST RECENT na nangyari sa akin . So start sa MOST RECENT 2013 pababa sa 2011 ganun ang ginawa ko at tinuro sa akin ng good friend of mine . Salamat sa kanya ....
Ano po addressee at ibang details na isusulat sa envelope?
