Yung sakin bank draft rin. It took 30 working days bago ko naencash yung cheque. Vinerify pa kc nila sa pinas yung cheque. Pwede ka magdala ng cash but its up to you which one would you prefer as long as you wont forget to declare your funds.

hello, may bank charges? Saan bank ka nag pa bank draft?

I just received my PPR today, almost 120 days since my eCas went into In-Process status and nearly 5 months from the Medical exam date. I'm sure you'll received it very soon. Good luck po.
Congrats Firefox!
 
I really hate to be bringing this news to those waiting but this matters to you folks - the work stoppage has escalated: :(:(:(. Read the full text of the new release here:

20 June 2013 - Canada’s Foreign Service Officers announce additional pickets in Ottawa and escalated service withdrawals

Better to keep focus on the end of the journey, and to where your application is now relative to where you were when you started this process. It is another bump on the road, another hurdle, but it will come to pass too.

I do hope that now that with this ever widening impact, there will be intervention coming soon to end this impasse.

/all the best....

Make sure you have proof of submission and receipt of your application (via courier tracking etc.) to CIO-NS before the nomination letter expiry date. This shows you have submitted and CIO has received the application well before the nomination expiry date and expiry of the nomination letter should not affect your application.

As to the AOR from CIO-NS - If you did not use a representative, and all correspondence is sent to your email address, then check first your email folders. If you are sure no message is sent to your spam folders from CIO in your email, then proceed to contact CIO-NS. Have proof of receipt (i.e. courier tracking information, person who signed for it etc.) to identify the parcel/package sent to CIO-NS.

Do a search on cic.gc.ca first to find out information on what you can do. Information on how to get case-specific information from the CIO-NS is in the website. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/canada/sydney.asp

How to Contact the Centralized Intake Office
If you are a federal skilled worker, federal investor, Quebec-selected skilled worker, Canadian Experience Class or provincial nominee applicant and you have a request for case information, you may contact the Client Service Unit of the Centralized Intake Office.

You will not receive a reply to your email if:

•you have not already applied under one of the above categories
•you are not authorized to receive personal information
•you applied within the last six weeks
•your enquiry concerns any other topic.
Please do not send the same enquiry more than once. You can reach the CSU at CIO-Sydney-Search-Enquiry @ cic.gc.ca

Use the email address highlighted to email them directly and ask about receipt of your application in CIO-NS and if an AOR has been sent out. Present the proof of receipt and any other information that can be used to identify your submission. Be mindful of the conditions listed above to get a reply...

/hope this helps...

thank you ragluf, i will wait till nextweek for AOR, thank you for replying, god bless.

Congrats Firefox, halos kasunod lang yung timeline ng sa amin, Feb kasi meds done namin, sana nga sunod sunod na. lapit ka na mag graduate, konti nalang visa na :)
 
I called IOM a minute ago re my medical. They informed me that they have sent my medical result to CEM last June 19. Now the waiting game starts. Goodluck to all of us! Keep the faith :)
 
it has been 4 months of waiting and waiting since my application turned in process.. and now entering the 5th month.. hope to get that elusive ppr soon..

as for the FSO strike, I hope CEM should be professional enough to at least inform us applicants of the situation and how they are dealing the situation.

im a regular pnp applicant. im not sure though if this is only me but as i can see things have been a little bit slow with Manila VO if we compare the processing before the strike news broke. and someone here previously mentioned that manila VO is not on strike but i haven't seen significant progress in terms of issuing MR and PPR lately. im sure everyone is dying to know what's really happening

same with you ihave also the same problem,.,as days goes by, it added burdens in my mind,.it was like we are waiting for nothing,.,but since i have the faith and the encouragement i got from this forum, it relieves my worrying,.,Hoping for that strike to finish,.,and that our PPR will come soon.

Yes may bank charges pero maliit lang naman. Dun ako sa pnb nagpagawa. I heard some other bank doesnt have bank chrges as lon as you have active account in that certain bank.
 
Praise God...sa wakas nabago na ang ECAS ko..."Medical result has been recieved - June 20, 2013" nadagdag pala doon sa "Application has been recieved on December 12, 2012...second line is Medical result has been recieved" from the time na submit ng IOM last April 15, 2013. Hopefully tuloy tuloy na ito Lord ganon din sa mga ibang katulad ko na naghihintay. In God's time and a perfect situation darating din ang pinaka hihintay nating lahat....
 
Thank you ragluf for reminding me to inform the CEM regarding my medical and payment of RPRF. At last napalitan na din ang ECAS ko. Thank you also lord for putting in my mind that I have to include the red sticker in my email ang postal letter. I think this give the VO that my application is included in Pilot reduction program with priority processing...Hope the red sticker help.

Happy for you! Hopefully matapos na ang STRIKE nila para bumilis na usad ng applications nyo! Sobrang hirap talaga pag naghihintay, konting tiis at pasensya na lang.
At least sigurado na kayo na OK ang medicals nyo!
God Bless!!! :D
