Ask lang po if kailangan po ba sundin talaga yung 10 days marriage banns posting before you could get married? Kasi my boyfriend (Filipino) is a permanent resident in Canada and we are planning to get married (civil lang) when he comes home this December. He'll arrive Dec 19. Alis na sya uli ng January 4 balik Canada. He'll be staying here sa PH for 16 days lang. His stay here is limited kasi he has work there.

Problem namin ang daming holidays this december. So working days here are limited.

I would just like to ask kung meron na ba dito couple na hindi sumunod sa 10 days posting? Kasi dba you have to wait for 10 days para ma-release ang marriage license nyo then saka lang kayo pwde magpakasal. I've read na pwde ma-rush ito with the help of fixers. Pero ayoko kasi magpatulong sa fixers as much as possible.

Let's say, if we wont follow the 10 days posting rule, will this be traced by the Canadian Embassy pag nag apply na kami for sponsorship? Baka kasi ma-apektohan ang sponsorship application namin if they trace any irregularities in our civil wedding. I know they'll look at my boyfriend's passport to know kung tugma ang point of entry sa dates ng pagprocess ng marriage license, etc.

And yung 10 days posting, included ba sa bilang ang weekends? Or should it be 10 WORKING days (mon-fri)?

Hope you guys can help me. As much as possible gusto ko talaga dumaan sa tamang proseso.

I've researched na pero iba-iba ang nakikita kong sagot. Baka meron nang couples dito sa forum who've had a similar situation as ours.
 
The posting of the banns is a religious thing, not a legal one. CIC won't give a hoot about that. Your problem lies potentially in getting your marriage license in 10 days. It varies at each municipal. We were promised 1 week in our advance research but with a change in who was in charge, that changed on us last minute to 2 weeks. We had to pay under the table to get it in 1 week, but we did.

We were able to get married 15 days after I arrived in Philippines from Canada. I can't remember how many days we ended up having to spare, if any.

For how many days did you wait for your marriage license to be released?
 
10 working dAys. Make sure that ypu have the requirements. Nso borth cert. cenomar.
 
We also had to wait 10 working days in Quezon city, back in 2013.
 
Since we quoted previous information that they were aware of, a few pesos under the table and we got it in one week, 5 working days. That was their previous commitment to us.

How were you able to get married in 15 days? Can you please help me on how you proceeded with that? I am planning to get married with my girlfriend and we want to get married ASAP as well. Hope you can reply. Thanks po!

Hi, If you know someone working in this kind of office that would be a big help. There are some municipalities that are lenient
