Canada Family Class Visa: Timelines and Stories

[Shadow Angel]

^nasa pinas pa ako sis kung pwede nga lang sana sa pinas na lang kami sabi nya saka na lang kapag retirement age na.

[sarsingkit]

Personally for me, mas maganda mag raise ng family here in Canada. Saan sa Canada si hubby mo?

[Shadow Angel]

Sa Quebec

[sarsingkit]

oooh Parle Francais! Masaya yan, matuto ka ng ibang language. I've never been to Quebec but I heard Montreal is really beautiful.

[Shadow Angel]

Thanks sis sana nga may makilala ako na taga gt doon. Sabi kasi nya kokonti raw pinoy sa Quebec.

Hello mga sisses anyone here na canadian ang asawa? Mas madali ba ang processing ng spousal sponsorship. Lalo na kung sa Pinas kinasal? Sana may makasagot. Parang konti lang kasi na taga gt na foreigner ang asawa. Anyway TIA.

Hello! Yung malayong cousin ng husband ko nakapangasawa ng Canadian (puti) rin. Pero at first na-deny sila sa spousal sponsorship. Parang na-question yata na sandali pa lang silang naging magkarelasyon. So "pinatagal" muna. After two years pa yata saka na-approve. Pero I am not sure kung iyon lang ang factor ha, di ko kasi alam ang buong istorya.

[Shadow Angel]

^grabe ang tagal ayaw nya maghintay ng ganun katagal. Saan sila kinasal? May plan sya na magvacation ako dun for two weeks siguro ok lang naman diba while on process ang sponsorship.

I would also assume na konti nga pinoy kasi nga kailangan marunong mag French. Although may HS batchmate lives there pero he moved after HS namin. So puro French na mga status nya sa FB. He is married to a French Canadian din, cute ng mga babies nila.

When was that sis mrsB? 2 years ago kasi, naglabas na ng rule na dapat once makarating ng Canada ang spouse, dapat tumagal pa sila ng 2 years otherwise iququestion sila. Similar sa US na bawal magdivorce for 2 years. With that ruling, I assume na hindi na factor yung length ng relationship.

Basta sis ang mahalaga is yung strength and consistency. Tipong may emails kayo everyday, kilala ng family, wedding pictures, honeymoon. Mga birthday card, Christmas card, etc.

[Shadow Angel]

Sana nga hindi nafactor ang length ng relationship.

Sis Shadow Angel -- they were married in Baguio

Sis Sarsingkit -- 2014 lang siya nakarating sa Canada eh. Not sure kung kelan exactly pero nauna ako sa kanya ng a few months (Nov 2013 ako) so very recent lang din. I asked my husband, parang they got married in 2011, applied for spousal sponsorhip, then got denied. Ang reason nga raw ay masyado pang "bago" yung relationship kaya "patagalin" muna. They reapplied again in 2012 tapos naapprove na in 2013. Na-under the 2-year rule din sila so kailangan nilang magsama sa Canada in 2 years or else the woman will lose her permanent resident status. Pero yun nga, it happened before October 2012 (the start of the imposition of 2-year rule) so baka nga iba na ngayon. 

[Shadow Angel]

Sana nga hindi na ganyan kasi gusto na rin namin magkasama na. May plan sya na magbakasyon ako doon kahit 2 weeks. Ok lang naman diba kahit on process ang spousal application.

[mrsB]

^I applied for a tourist visa four months after our wedding, pero hindi pa naka-apply ang spousal sponsorship namin noon. Very strict sila, kailangan talagang i-prove mo ang strong ties mo sa country mo or else made-deny. Kasi may stronger ties ka sa Canada kung nandoon ang asawa mo eh, baka hindi ka na talaga umalis kapag nakarating ka na.

I was even called to the embassy for an interview (non-appearance lang naman kasi ang tourist visa application sa Pinas). Luckily, I was given a multiple entry visa. But I heard (and read from several fora) na maraming nade-deny.

Mga sis may question ako  kasi yung bf ko will go there as immigrant this july whole family sila. And he will get me daw via spousal visa so uuwi siya papakasal kami. My question is pwede kaya ako magprocess ng papers sa uk? My tito kasi pinapapunta ako sa hospital nila sa uk to work dahil mdaming nagreretire na nurses and problem ko kung aaccept ko yung offer ng tito ko, baka kapag nandun na ako sa uk hindi pwedeng magprocess dun? Kaya si bf ayaw niya ako payagan maguk wait ko na lang daw siya na kunin ako. Ako naman gusto ko kasi for experience and the salary offer is good.

[Shadow Angel]

@sis mrsB so need na may ticket na diba before applying visa? Pwede ba proof ang work ko dito at mga credit cards lets say need ko bayaran. Saka diba if on process ang spousal visa bakit naman ako o tayo na ikakasira ng sponsorship diba?

[sarsingkit]

^sis Shadow Angel, not that I am discouraging you pero I know a handful (mostly in forums din) na na-deny ng tourist visa while their spousal visa in in process. Usually kasi ang reason is bakit hindi mo na lang hintayin ma-approve yung spouse visa diba. Maybe like what sis mrsB here, apply ka muna ng tourist before submitting your application for the spouse visa. Work is a strong tie sa Pinas but credit card debt isn't. And of course, return ticket. If you are called for an interview, pray for a nice immigration officer.

^^Personally, I'll accept the UK job, kung magiging registered nurse ka doon, accept it. Sayang ang experience. It is UK after all, may strong ties ang monarch sa Canada. Hurdle ang pag-asikaso ng spouse visa pero mas hurdle ang makapagtatag ng career here in Canada.

^my husband to be wants me to be there on Christmas vacation. So need ko ng letter from my work na i asked for vacation going to canada and vacation leave form. Need ko ba i submit yun?

[sarsingkit]

^basta sis, submit all documents/evidences supporting na babalik ka pa din sa Pinas.

[Shadow Angel]

^thanks sis... Sana maging ok lahat

Hello everyone,

im happy to see this forum. sobrang kinakabahan na po kasi ako baka lang you can share your experience. i received my PPR email on Apr 30 and passport was received by the embassy on May 4. My ecas status was changed to Decision Made last week, pero wala pa din po akong narereceive na passport. May kakilala pa po ba kayo sa dHL na [textspeak!] magcheck ng passport ko ko? may flight na po kasi kami sa june 9 so kinakabahan po talaga ako. thank u po sa lahat ng help.

[sarsingkit]

^You can try to call DHL. Alam na nila yan usually. It should not take long from Decision Made to receiving of Passport. Sakin mga 4-7 days siguro. Pero given na malapit na pala flight mo, baka mabitin kayo. Wag naman sana.
