clarification please:


My current application is "in Process" and I understand that the average processing time is indicated in the website depending on the visa office. I know that the processing time is 14 months in our case. My question is the reckoning date for the 14 months. Is it from the time when the CIC says it received the application (which is Nov 2012), or the time the Manila visa office receives the application from CIC Mississauga (which is March 2013)?

Also, if the reckoning date is Nov. 2012, do we add the 28 days sponsorship approval for myself to the 14 months (i.e. 28 days + 14 months), or is this included in the 14 months?

you should received an email that they have received your docs. and thats the start of the "14 months" period within that 14 month period they will ask for nbi clearance (visa canada) after background check..next is medical exam...some cases are...they received it within 8 months but some took long...but if it exceeded within 14 month period you have to call the embassy right away to update them...still it depends on the visa officer who handles the case...

have you receive a medical exam req.?

Denny303, you are ahead of the game. They have started looking over your application.

Good Luck, Step
