My partner dropped her passport at vfs manila today. Hoping she gets it back as fast as you guys. Is there any seminar you have to do before u get the passport back ?[/QUOTE
If they texted that the passport if for pick-up already, and I didn’t come to the date they mentioned. Can I still come on another date without any emails to them or appointments?

GCP is the Guidance and Counselling Program is for spouses who marry a foreign citizen.

https://cfo.gov.ph/gcp.html

PDOS is Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar is for spouses who are married to a Filipino spouse.

https://cfo.gov.ph/rnr-pdos.html

It is Mandatory and you will receive a sticker in your passport that you have completed it. If you do not have it then you can not fly, they will stop you at Immigration in the Philippines.
You forgot common-law also for GCP.... my partner did hers 3 months ago, she just needs to bring her COPR to cfo and get her passport stamped,

When did you send ours? We submitted in Cebu VFS on Thursday, ad text it arrived at the embassy on Friday and was dispatched back on Monday and now waiting for it to arrive. We are ready to book our ticket the minute we get it in hand. Flight are cheap to Winnipeg for a few more days.

EVA/Air Canada is the best right now at $625 one way. They start creeping up after the 14th but I think they will jump when the black Friday seat sales end.
