    Canadian citizen in Manila, trying to get Filipina partner and our son home

    . We will apply online, thank you. I don't think I can convince her to write the travel letter for my son, I tried again last night after showing her the email from the Canadian Embassy. Leaving without my son is not an option. We are relatively comfortable here and have a safe/secure home...

    Trapped in the Phillipines, anyway to get my girlfriend to Canada ?

    Sorry to hijack the thread but I am in a very similar situation and have a few questions: Is your son also a Canadian citizen? Would Philippines immigration have let him go with you alone? Did you apply for the PR docs before all this mess started? What is the process like? Thanks
