Strike and yolanda. Yung kapatid ng wife ko yung husband niya nung apply for spousal sponsorship nung 2010 inabot lang ng 6 months from pagpasa ng papers hanggang sa makaalis siya and paper application lang date walang email.
Kung mabilis ang trabaho nila babalik sa normal. Pero hindi din naman natin sila masisi, at ginagawa naman nila siguro ang trabaho nila ng maayos. We just have to keep on waiting. Enjoyin ang pagsstay dito sa Pilipinas.
Thank u :) At least i know now what to tell to my husband and to my in-laws if they will ask me about it. Your definitely right, patience is a virtue and i know this is worth waiting for to be with those people we love.

Maybe because of the strike, and they proritize the Yolanda victims last year.
In addition to Yolanda and the Strike....the Canadian Government chopped the VO in Seoul and Tokyo...funneling everything through Manila... :eek:(

I have no idea how many extra staff they employee now in Manila but for sure they have more work than they did last year..it wasnt too long after the other Asian VO offices closed that they extended the time line to 14 months...

Dapat mo i declare at ipa undergo ng medical ang anak mo kahit di mo cya isama, kc pag di mo ginawa yun never mo na cya maiisponsoran in d future..wala nmang prob khit hindi cya ang father,basta dapat consistent mga sagot niyo sa forms at questionaire..
Icheck mo ang mga requirements sa country specific guide n nasa website ng canadian immigration.
Regarding nman sa common law niya baka may iba makasagot sau.

He can also get a notarized letter from a lawyer stating that he was in a common law relationship from what date to what date and the lawyer can say that the relationship ended at a certain date. If he was already separated by 2012 and his income tax will reflect that the lawyer can add that to the statement as well and then he can attach his Income Tax papers with the notarized letter. That way makikita ng titingin ng papers nyo na you are not trying to hide anything and you are disclosing all information. I should also add that the lawyer can also include the date that you guys started your relationship and when you guys got married as well.

I hope this helps. Let me know you if you need more information about this.

And I agree with DsWifey, you should declare your son/daughter, kasi if not, you won't be able to sponsor him/her in the future.

Hi Sis

Yes sa lawyer sa Canada sya magpapa notarize. Yung lawyer din ang mag prepare nung statement for him. So bigay nyo lang yung facts sa lawyer and he/she will just write them down and notarize the paperwork after. It is smart to attach his income tax papers that says that he has been separated from the common law as well.

I think for sure kailangang mag pa medical din ang anak mo kahit hindi mo sya kasama papunta dito. Other than that I am not really sure. Make sure to read this: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3905e.pdf

Nandyan lahat ang requirements na kailangan mong malaman.

Processing time, it's really hard to say kasi unpredictable ang CEM, it depends sa VO.

But normal processing time is online:

Step 1: Sponsor Assessment. 35 days, they are currently working on Applications received on December 18, 2013.
Step 2: By Visa Office. CEM - 14 months

Status is IN PROCESS 6/24/14
Hi good day to all. Im here in Philippines and I need your advice on something. My husband sponsored me, a Canadian citizen, and has received approval of his sponsorship. Now we are waiting from Canada Embassy in Manila any update on our application for my visa. The mailing address and contact informations used is that my husband's in Canada where we will hopefully soon receive letters and updates from the Canada Embassy in Manila. My question is, will it be a good idea to change the mailing address and contact informations that the Embassy will send updates and all from my huband's to my addresss here in Philippines instead so I'll know and received them straight from CEM? My husband and I have second thoughts about this move we are planning but then I've more time to check on the visa matter than my husband who is busy working everyday. I hope someone here will help enlighten me on this concern we have. Thank you in advance. God bless us all.
