Hi..kasi umuwi husband ko preparation namin for Church wedding namin last Jan 8, 2011 ( Church wedding namin) After we submitted our documents 2x nagrequest ang embassy ng additional requirements.. 1st merona ko hindi napirmahan so pinadala ko pa sa asawa ko sa Canada and sa part nya may hinigi din..napasa agad naman yun... 2nd request di naminnakuha agad letter kasi nasa phils sya ulit...paguwi nya sa Canada after our wedding nun lang namin na comply..then ayun tuloy tuloy na Feb lahat ang process...jan 27 nila natanggap 2nd request nila na add requirements sa part ng asawa ko...

Feb 21, tumawag sa akin Manila Embassy informing na pindalhan ako ng letter dated feb 17 daw requesting for passport and list of countrie and dates i visited...kahit daw di ko pa narereceive pwede ko na ihulog passport ko sa address sa RCBC...so Feb 22 dinala ko ang passport thru drp box...Feb 23 umaga natanggap ko na request letter nila..May appendix A pa pala at Personal History so what i did hinulog ko sa DHL same day..kaya magkahiwala na araw ko nasubmit...so hoping soon na po...

Oh ok...I hope you don't mind me asking. You'll be next na makakatangap ng visa :) Cheers :)

Yup...January batch ako. Just sent the PP last march 10 so hopefully kung lucky enough maDM na kagad. Toronto bound ako. OO nga nakakatuwa pag may mga updates lalo na pag may naDDM. Nagbabasa din ako ng ibang threads nasusubaybayan ko din mga timelines nila from submitting hangang makarating na sila sa Canada. Naiimagine ko ako yun...hihihi!!!

True enough...When you have faith you are assured of what you hoped for will come to pass. Kaya kailangan ng patience kasi no idea kung kelan. Patience keeps you to persevere till you get what you're hoping for. Kaya always think positive! ;) :D La lang just words of wisdom :)

CFO's guidance and counseling session

Hello;

This is a question for anyone that has already landed in Toronto from Manila on a spousal visa …

The question is, would it be wise to complete the guidance counseling before receiving your visa, I mean will this save time? I understand that the following is required:

As Filipinos going abroad as fiancé(e)s, spouses or other partners of foreign nationals, you are required to attend the CFO's guidance and counseling session in order to secure the Guidance and Counseling Certificate (GCC) and the CFO sticker.

My wife lives in one of the provinces far from Cebu or Manila, should would have to make a special trip to get to the course, but on the other hand the courses are only offered on certain days and times, and as soon as she has her visa I would like to return to get her and then leave again for Canada.

Any thoughts on this, is it a long process? or could we get it done together in Manila the day before we depart to Toronto ?

Thank you and God bless.

I haven't landed yet but I think I can answer your question.

It would be wise to have the Guidance and Counselling while waiting for the visa if your wife lives close to any of these CFO branches: Manila, Cebu and Davao. Unfortunately you said she lives far from the the first two. How about Davao? Still far?

If so, then just have the Counselling a day or two prior to departure. That would save time and money. There are 2 separate places here in Metro Manila where she can attend: CFO-Taft Avenue in front of De Lassalle University and walking distance from LRT Vito Cruz station; and the other is PRISM-Quezon City.

I'm more familiar with CFO-Taft since I had done mine there and I live close to that place. Your wife can just go there any day (Monday to Friday)8am to 2:30pm. I went there at 10:40am, had the forms filled out and submitted my requirements(photocopy of the following:marriage certificate, birth certificate, Government issued I'd). But was asked to go back at 1pm since I was late at the 10:30am batch.If you want to have it early, then tell her to go at 8am.

PRISM-Quezon City is the one who has the every Tuesday and Friday only schedule.

So I think, it would be more flexible and convenient to go at CFO Taft. Aside from that, it's only 20minutes from the airport.

Every time I buy dollar, I go to BPI Main office along Ayala Avenue. They sell Canadian dollar there. Other banks wouldn't sell Canadian. But BPI is the one I'm very sure of. And another one is PNB, they have good rates and sells cheaper than BPI but I think not all PNB branches have Canadian dollar. Btw, congrats!
