I have a question. Im a filipino citizen currently on my F1 visa. I still have until august 2016 to finish my study. Then i can go to OPT for 1 year. Me and my fiancee is planning to get married this december and file a outland sponsorship. My main concern is should i apply in Philippines Or america los angeles? what if i apply in the US the decision is not yet release and i need to go back to my home country(philippines)? what would happen? what will happen if i apply in the philippines and they need my passport and interview me while in america?Thankyou.

Bakit ganon? Sa eCAS under Permanent Resident nakalagay IP na ako but I noticed na most of you got PPR bago mag-IP eCAS niyo. Bakit kaya? :/ Wala pa PPR ko. Hmmmn

When you apply for outland, you will send your application to a central area which is the Case Processing Center in Mississauga. You dont apply directly to CEM ( canadian embassy manila) or other visa offices. After they approve you as sponsor, CIC will choose what Visa Office will process your application further. CiC wil choose VO according to the applicant's country of birth or residency. If you spouse is Filipino living in the Philippines OR Filipino but working abroad, then CIC will send it to CEM. The current trend is they send it according to the applicants birth country.

Sa experience ko, nauuna DM. Di na ako inemail na ipapadala na nila ung Visa at COPR ko. Basta after nkita ko DM, inantay ko.na visa ko. Dumating after 4 days na nag DM

though dati may nabasa ako.dto.na may email pa sila na pinadala na Visa package. Iba iba ang proseso nila. Note for the latest trend na lng dito sa forum sa.mga nakatanggap recently ng visa nila.

I think mas bago pa ung sau. Ngppray nga kami sana dumating na this Sept ang visa ko kasi Feb 25 applicant pa kami e. Wala pang update ecas ko. Ngfollow up na nga kami sa embassy. So pano ka pala nakipagcommunicate sa magdedeliver?

4 days after i got DM, i called wwwexpress call center. Tinanong ko if asa kanila na ung package ko from CEM. They wil search their system using your full name. Yong sakin, available.na that day at out for delivery na sia. I then called their local branch na malapit sa amin to arrange for the delivery since i will be working that day so i arranged that they deliver it at my work. Paid 95 pesos plus tip for the delivery guy. Hehe
