hello, what's "MP" guys?

may tanong lang din ako diba kadalasan Vancouver ang port of entry? meron kasi Air Canada flight from Tokyo to Calgary na. (btw, Calgary yung magiging residence ng hubby ko pagdating nya). Okay ba yung deretso na sa Calgary? kasi ako pag umuuwi ng Phil and balik ng Canada, dumadaan ako lagi ng Vancouver eh. May nakaexperience na ba na deretso na Calgary? may magiging problem ba dun especially 1st time sa Canada? Thanks po :)

Hi! Question lang po, they are requiring med. request frm the embassy before they can schedule you for medical right? They don't do upfront? I just filed our application last march, and we are lacking my husband's medical bec. of that. :(
upfront medical samin. nasa checklist naman yun sa application to do your meds upfront.

Yes, OK na diretso sa Calgary. All Canadian port of entries equipped mag intake ng bagong immigrants. Baka nga mas bilis and processing kasi Calgary hindi busy entry point.

Hey all... Just an inquiry here: I got my automated reply from the CIC On april 3, 2015. They received my application on 2/12/2015. I have a UCI and App. No from the email.

Is this thing seriously going to take 17 MONTHS for them to process it on stage 2 manila side? I fear for my marriage, how are we suppose to wait that long? December 2016 if I calculate correctly? and this assuming the package is all correct too?

Wasn't this only 2-4 months a couple years ago??
Hi. I would answer that as Yes. Some had their papers processed less than 17 months, some took more than the processing time given. I think it all depends if your package (documents) are complete and also varies with the Visa officer who handles your papers. But to set your expectations, think of it as 17 months processing time. The faster the better.
To give you an idea on what I'm saying, I'm a November 2013 applicant, at that time processing time was only 14 months, up to now no visa yet, running 15 months in the process, no additional documents required by VO, they just requested to do re-medical since I did it upfront, and re-submit my NBI clearance (like police clearance) since it already expired. ;D stay patient, its all worth the wait.

oh i see. naisip lang namin kung nakalagay na sa checklist, bakit hindi pa gawin lol. and baka mas mabilis? hindi na sila magiintay pa dumating yung medical mo. but i guess not always, kasi yung iba nagrere-med pa. anyways, about sa appendix A, nirequest nila yun sa hubby ko pati passport nya. so nisend namin parehas. may nakasulat ba sa letter na pati passport? kasi kung wala naman baket isesend. im not sure though

Hi friends,
Question lang,can i forward additional documents(proof) to cic even though it wasn't requested?
I have included the stamps on our passports as proof of our travels outside the country but the front page of the passport i included was my husband's new passport so the pages with stamps and the front page doesn't match.
Has anyone here tried sending documents proactively?
Thanks po sa sasagot.
