Hubby received a call from CEM today. He's asked to go to cem on thurs for his visa. They also asked if he can leave before May 29 (expiration of meds and validity of visa). Ecas still says in process. No email/ mail for ppr. they said to go in the morning so he can have his visa attached to his passport by the end of the day. Anyone had this before?

congrats agentorange
# just few realization I learned today, CEM prioritized those with medicals near to expire, and they doesnt matter if your application was received or processed first.
# medicals validity is equal or the same of visa validity
# the early the medicals u had, the more priority

Not sure if visa depends on visa validity , that's would make sense though which makes me think that's not how they do things for sure then. Not much makes sense in any part of the process , seems to more depend on the officer who handles file. Another day and no visa shows up for us ... For those who are starting to get DM's good luck and wish you a speedy visa

I received the same call from CEM today but of course it was very early in the morning here, They wanted to know how to get in touch with my wife since she is visiting her family in the Philippines. Gave the VO her number and my wife txt me after. She has an appointment this Thursday for CEM to have her Visa package issued.

hello, i need help.

lately, i have been paranoid when it comes to sending documents to the embassy.
can anyone verify this name, Ric Berena? is he the one who receives the documents at the Canadian Embassy?
thank you in advance

Hello friends, hope you could help me verify this information. My husband will be sponsoring me for a spousal visa to Canada. We do not have any child yet. In the application package, it is stated that I include 9 recent photos of each of my family members (accompanying and non accompanying). Are they pertaining to my parents and siblings even though they are not being sponsored? I am estranged from one of my sisters so I am quite worried that this requirement will be difficult to produce for me. Anyone who could shed some light to this issue?

Salamat!

They are pertaining to just yourself and any children you may have in your case if any.

^ thanks for the speedy reply, Chris!

Your welcome but can you do us a favor from now on? When your posting a question can you please only post the one question in one place. It confuses some of us lol, plus the answers you are seeking may not be as detailed if the answers are in different threads.

Chris.

I apologize. Suddenly had a major panic attack when I read that requirement haha!

Hi Nexus20!

Congratulations on your wedding! Do you plan to apply as an Outland or Inland? If you don't have any idea yet.. you can check the link below:
canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/spousal-sponsorship-t46995.0.htm

And then to answer your questions, Yes providing all the possible documents that the embassy may require in the future can make the processing more shorter. The link below will help you on preparing all your documents:
canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/how-i-organized-our-applcation-and-a-summary-of-all-helpful-tips-i-have-learned-t92449.0.htm

As long as the hospital is under the accredited panel physician.. you can take your medical their. Yes, one of it is St. Lukes!
cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.as

You'll only provide a copy of your passport on the initial application then once it has begun processing that's the only time they'll require you to send the passport itself. They will only request for the applicant's passport and not the sponsor's pp.

Hope that helps!

Wow... that's heart breaking.... feeling that you are almost there and getting that answer....
in the bright side, you can lower your expectations now.... your file probably will go through
the summer... and as they said... your file may be completed by October...
But they are mean when they suggest that you are good to March 24 2016...
In any case, I don't expect your file to go that far... most likely that by the end of the summer.

It looks like every visa office calculate the waiting period in different way,
but it should be since CIC receives your application
How are processing times calculated?

"Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) calculates processing times from the day CIC receives an application to the day it makes a decision on the application."

i am devastated. I feel that evrything in our applications has its delays. Imagine that I even had my upfront medical June of 2013. but we failed to submit it. by the way when you say summer are you pertaining on end of summer in CANADA of here in the PH? and oh, yeah . you always responds on almost evry inquires i have, you responds with sense and informative ways. thanks a lot. you also inspire people out here. CHEERS..

Hello! We just submitted my husbands passport. Does anyone know or have any ideas on how long it will take for us to receive the visa? Will it come with COPR? Will they return our application package back through DHL after everything's been finalized? Hope someone can help. Thank you.
