Canada Family Class Visa: Timelines and Stories

[sarsingkit]

^ako din sis. Validity of my Visa is based on the validity of the medical which is 1 year nung time ko (2012).  So December 2011 medical and then December 2012 and expiry ng Visa.

Sis vans and sis sarsingkit, thanks good to know...kasi around end of april 2017 ko pa talaga target magresign from work and based din sa usapan namin ni bf mga that time ok na daw ako magresign

[whitebeagle]

salamat sis saringkit
 sis yung mga documents as a proof like receipts, boarding pass, snail mail, plane tix pwede ba kahit photocopy na lang? or original na lang para mas maganda kasi ibabalik naman ni cic yun? thank you

[sarsingkit]

^original sis dapat yung mga yun as in gagawa ka ng parang scrap book. Hehe. Ibabalik din naman ng CIC yun.

[whitebeagle]

thanks sis saringkit... haaay matinding pagaasikaso 'to ) tatlong taong fb, ym, viber, madugong pag copy ng chat logs nd fb wall screenshots.. etc.. salamat sis ng marami laking tulong.

[sarsingkit]

Yes, sis. Mostly emails kasi kami ni hubby so I tried printing mga 2 emails per month. Tapos yung mga YM pa nga. As in ang kapal nung envelope. You kinda have to be detailed about your relationship kasi nagbreak kami ni hubby tapos mga 3 years before kami nagbalikan. So pati yun, ini-state ko sa forms. Buti nga nahanap ko pa mga pictures namin way way back. Buti na lang hindi ko tinapon sa asar ko noon. But I think nagsubmit ako ng picture na punit tapos ni-tape ko na lang ulit. Hehe.

Hi everyone! Does anyone here have experience in sponsoring their parents or grandparents here in Canada? I'm thinking of sponsoring my dad kasi mag-isa nalang sya sa Philippines. Kawawa naman kasi walang nagaalaga sa kanya dun 

I was thinking of submitting a family visa application tapos pag pasok na yun, we'll try to get a super visa for him. Mahirap lang sa super visa, kailangan ko sya bilhin ng private health and dental insurance. Does anyone have experience in this matter? Thanks!

After Passport Request what next na? Gaano katagal ang proceesing nito? Weeks lang ba? Im in between kasi if kailan dapat ako magresign sa work.

[sarsingkit]

^^I don't have experience but I am also looking into this. I want to get my dad and stepmom.

^saglit na lang yan. Maybe 1 month but I'd say not to resign until you get your visa. You have 1 year from the date of medical records to fly anyway.

[Shadow Angel]

^thanks sabagay tama ka mas maganda nga if may visa na ako before ako mag resign...

Ano po next procedure kapag nakareceive kami na letter stating that we have met the requirements as sponsor. They will forward the application to visa office in Manila?

[sarsingkit]

^Yes, they will.

[Lexi]

Meaning po ba approved na yun?

[bellalestrange90]

hi mga sis. pinepetition kami ng ate ko pos nagmedical na kami. sumabit nga lang yung papa ko kasi may tb sya kaya ginagamot pa. by september pa tapos nung gamutan nya. nasa embassy na din ang passport namin. after ba nung gamutan nya mga ilang months bago lumabas yung visa? kasi ngayon tambay lang ako, 1 year na kasi kelangan daw dependent ako. enrolled ako pero hindi ako nag-a-aral. 21 na ko. gusto ko talaga sana magwork kasi sobrang nakakainip talaga e.

[sarsingkit]

^^approval pa lang ng sponsor yun sis. Once your documents are received sa Manila office, they will now asses yung mga proof na sinubmit nyo. Timelines are posted sa CIC website so you have a ballpark.

[Lexi]

Ah ok. Akala ko for visa na yun. hehe
For assessment pa pala nung mga proof. Anyway, Thanks sis sa info.

[sarsingkit]

^Have they requested for your passport already?

[Lexi]

Not yet sis. Clueless lang ako sa next step nila. Wala kasi updates dun sa timeline sa website.
