                  Continuation of B: To renew or apply for passport at Department of Foreign Affairs
                                             (DFA) certificate from Seminar B is required

**To avoid delay of visa processing, make sure all fees were paid, and all documents were submited.

**Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF). If this fee is not paid with the application,  Canadian Embassy Manila will first contact you to send you a letter to tell you to pay. The letter goes to the person being sponsored but the fees have to be paid by the sponsor themselves. You then pay your fees online or at a bank and have to send the proof to CPC-Missassauga. Then CPC-M sends notice to the CEM that it was paid.
                                     It takes time to get back to you to tell that the fees are paid. So it does slow down the process quite a bit. Failure to pay the fee at the time of submission of the application will result in a minimum additional two-month delay in the finalization of the application according to http://www.cnn1.net/pdf_forms/3900E.pdf

Additional documents usually requested by the embassy:
                              1. AOM (Advisory on Marriage) from NSO- different from Marriage Certificate; should be submitted at CPC-Missassauga together with other required documents at Country Specific Instructions-Philippines http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3905e.pdf
                                 2. Divorce Petition- different from Divorce Certificate; usually requested from Filipino sponsors who are divorced based on experiences of posters in this forum. (For natural-born Canadian sponsors who are divorced,  seems that they don't ask from you, but pls confirm at CEM)
                                 3. Appendix A- or Additional Family Information; though submitted previously, they will still ask a copy; the letter usually comes with the AOR/PPR
                                 4. Detailed statement of relationship with the EX (notarized)- for sponsored person with a child from their ex. Sometimes you are required to submit:  Ex's I.D, a notarized letter stating the ex allows the child to be sponsored, or other document asked by the visa officer.
              
To check application status (eCAS), download forms, guidelines  and know more about Citizenship and Immigration Canada: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/e-services/index.asp

Inquiries at Canadian Embassy Manila is strictly from 8AM-10AM Monday to Thursday.

 Hello, I'm new and avid follower of this thread. Marami po akong natutunan sa forum na to. And Thank you very much for sharing this helpful topic to me. In my case, my husband and I seek help/advice from a consultant agency in Canada. Do you think that we do the right thing? I send all my papers except my original passport to the CIC Agency last June 10 this year, sa tingin nyo po ba mapadali ang papers namin?
Thank you po.....

Hi floydannie

Majority sa amin dito ay nagfile ng application independently dahil simple at understandable naman ang processo ng spousal & dependent children sponsorship. Kung hinde naman complicated at wala namang technicalities ang relationship status ng couple everything will be fine.

Mayroon mga consultant agency claiming that prioritize ang processing ng application daw pero ang totoo with or without agency, pare-pareho lang ang takbo ng application aside from one thing, MONEY MATTERS. ok ang may consultant agency na law firm kung may complications at technicalities ang relationship kase for sure makakatulong sila kung paano ipresent ng tama ang application at substancial proof.

Good luck!

Hello everybody!

Hi just want to clarify that April 2011 was my husband's interview, and also the time that the VO said that its approved. But this doesn't mean that it's DM. Although the VO already returned the documents that we submitted, according to him evaluation of genuine relationship is done, our status on ECAS is still in process. I think our papers will undergo its final review.

my situation is very complicated.
My husband ex-wife is filipina and city Council in one of the city of ontario , he move out from their house because his ex-wife cheat on him and 2 days later he filed for divorce last summer of 2008, do you know what's his reason for the divorce? stress lng kasi ayaw nya mapahiya ang pamilya nla. I met him last oct 2009 as a friend thru online and we got develop into boyfriend/girlfriend stuff last summer of 2010 here in Philippines. He plan to marry me, and ask some advice of his lawyer, he found out d pala natapos yun separation ng ex-wife nya. So he finalize their divorce last Nov. 2010, at ayaw pa ng lawyer nya na mag asawa cya ulit baka daw na ground yan ng kanyang ex-wife na di nya makuha nong kalahati share nya sa bahay nla dahil ibigay nya ang share nya sa youngest daughter nla for college, ayaw kc suportahan ng kanyang ex-wife ang youngest  nla for school. We got married last feb. 14, 2011. He wants me to be with him, so he sponsor me as spouse family class. Because of this complication and until now di pa nla na settle yung case nla kc pina delayed ng ex-wife nya ang settlement case. He hire a CIC lawyer from toronto at the same time para daw di madisturbo ang work nya. Do you think maapprove yung visa ko kahit d pa natapos ang case ng asawa ko at sa ex-wife nya? Kasalan ko ba kung bakit nagka komplikado?

I need your friendly and enlighten advice kc parang na guilty ako, parang i feel i'm one of the nakigulo. I love my husband, at nahihirapan ako pag nakikita ko syang malungkot. Please help me......

hi po! reading about your situation, medyo mahirap nga po ang case mo, you really need the help of a good lawyer.. hmmm sa nababasa ko sa ibang threads, mahirap yung ganyan kasi hihingan ka ng mga proof na settled na yung divorce ng asawa mo sa ex-wife nya para maging legal yung pagiging mag-asawa nyo at yung pagpunta mo sa canada.. so baka maging hindrance yun para mabigyan ka ng visa.. sorry.. yun lang po yung alam ko, pero baka may iba pang forumers na may alam na ibang solution sa problem mo.. goodluck!

my situation is very complicated.
My husband ex-wife is filipina and city Council in one of the city of ontario , he move out from their house because his ex-wife cheat on him and 2 days later he filed for divorce last summer of 2008, do you know what's his reason for the divorce? stress lng kasi ayaw nya mapahiya ang pamilya nla. I met him last oct 2009 as a friend thru online and we got develop into boyfriend/girlfriend stuff last summer of 2010 here in Philippines. He plan to marry me, and ask some advice of his lawyer, he found out d pala natapos yun separation ng ex-wife nya. So he finalize their divorce last Nov. 2010, at ayaw pa ng lawyer nya na mag asawa cya ulit baka daw na ground yan ng kanyang ex-wife na di nya makuha nong kalahati share nya sa bahay nla dahil ibigay nya ang share nya sa youngest daughter nla for college, ayaw kc suportahan ng kanyang ex-wife ang youngest  nla for school. We got married last feb. 14, 2011. He wants me to be with him, so he sponsor me as spouse family class. Because of this complication and until now di pa nla na settle yung case nla kc pina delayed ng ex-wife nya ang settlement case. He hire a CIC lawyer from toronto at the same time para daw di madisturbo ang work nya. Do you think maapprove yung visa ko kahit d pa natapos ang case ng asawa ko at sa ex-wife nya? Kasalan ko ba kung bakit nagka komplikado?

I need your friendly and enlighten advice kc parang na guilty ako, parang i feel i'm one of the nakigulo. I love my husband, at nahihirapan ako pag nakikita ko syang malungkot. Please help me......
