Hi, i just want to know how long it usually takes from the time they request for your passport and the time they send it back? I sent my passport to the canadian embassy in makati on July 30, 2010. They asked for additional family information and i sent that on the 6th of august, 2010. The embassy has not returned the passport yet  Sad

June 6  sent application
July 21 approved sponsorship
July 28 manila start processing our application
july 30 sent my passport to canadian embassy in makati
aug 5  received letter from embassy asking for additional family information (strange because i submitted that same form back in june 6)
Aug 6 sent additional family information to canadian embassy in makati

I'm just worried as to why they have not returned my passport yet when it has been 1month and 1week now?

Anyone who can help?

Is there a number we can call to contact canadian embassy in makati to do a follow up?

hope all goes well for you chocomilky! they asked for my passport a month ago and asked for my family information 3 weeks ago as additional document requirement. my app is still in process but hopefully i will get the "decision made" soon. My friends who sponsored their spouse usually get their passport back after a month, hope we get that same luck as well  Smiley

Hello glad to be here ...
I am also applying for permanent residency under Family or spouse Visa.
Ask ko lang im just wondering why do we need PDOS?
Is it necessary for spouse visa?
Kasi alam ko PDOS is for only overseas worker? (unsure)
Before i was attended some seminar  CFO Guidance and Counseling at St.Mary Euphrasia Foundation at QC.
That seminar is about person migrating to other country or may say married to a foreigner.
Is it same with PDOS? Anybody can explain pls?

Hi MLVill,

Regarding your question, no I don't think we need to attend the PDOS. Instead we should attend the Guidance and Counseling Program (GCP)

I quoted some of the items listed on this site: http://www.cfo.gov.ph/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=383&Itemid=60 to answer your question:

1.) I'm a spouse of a foreigner, can I make a reservation for the PDOS?
      - No. Spouses/partners of foreigners are supposed to attend the Guidance and Counseling Program (GCP) instead of PDOS.

2.) My Husband/wife is a former Filipino, do I need to attend the PDOS?
      - Although your spouse used to be a Filipino, he/she is already considered a foreigner when he acquired foreign citizenship. Thus, you are    required to undergo the Guidance and Counseling Program (GCP) instead of PDOS.


Hope this one helped! :-)
