Clients Application

It was October 2008 when Mr.Francisco Bartolome decided to file his Federal Skilled Worker immigrant visa application by signing a consultancy agreement with Canadian Immigration Consultancy. He decided to file his application despite the fact that he was told that the process may take about 3-5 years. He bought the idea that if you want to have a better quality of life for your family 5 years from now, you have to start your plan NOW and not five years after. His application was filed under the Simplified Application Process in November, 2008.

A couple of weeks after filing his application, the Ministerial Instructions identifying the list of 38 High Demand Occupations was released. Mr. Bartolome is a Licensed Physiotherapist) and his occupation is included in the list. Imagine his surprise when he receive a letter from Canadian Visa Office - Manila, requiring him to submit updated application forms and supporting documents on January 2009. We told him that such notice is expected 3-5 years after filing his application.

It took him about four months to comply with the requirements including the IELTS Exam Results. We submitted his application forms and supporting documents May 2009.

The 6-12 months processing under the new regulations starts at the time of submission of supporting documents to Canadian Visa Office. In his case, it only took a couple of months to receive the result. On July 2009, he received another letter requiring him to pay the Right of Permanent Resident Fee and to undergo medical examination.

It is now easier and faster to immigrate to Canada. It is happening and we have the proof!

Do you want to live and work in Canada, you can if you qualify.


If like you are also thinking of a better future for your family like Mr. Bartolome you have to start somewhere. Decide now and make a commitment to that decision. Immigrating to Canada is an OPTION. If you have the education and the experience required, consider yourself VERY lucky.
