Just want to throw a question to anyone who can answer. =)

Nakareceive na kasi ako ng PPR email to submit my passport. Nalilito lang ako dahil mukhang iba yung requirements na sinabi dun sa email tapos dun naman sa checklist ng VFS Global, mas madami pang requirements ang nakalista.

Sa PPR email, eto lang yung hiningi:

1. One copy of this letter.
2. Passport(s) OR photocopy(ies) of passport(s), as explained in Step 2.
3. Two (2) photos of yourself and of each accompanying family member respecting precise specifications that can be found at: www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf
4. Completed and signed Appendix B form (enclosed).

Tapos dun naman sa VFS Global website, marami pa hinihingi:
FORMS LIST
o Generic Application Form to Canada (IMM 0008)
o Schedule A: Background Declaration (IMM 5669)
o Additional Dependants /Declaration (IMM 0008DEP)
o Supplementary Information – Your Travels (IMM5662)
o Schedule 3: Economic Classes – Federal Skilled Workers (IMM 0008 – Schedule 3)
o Additional Family Information (IMM5406)
o Use of Representative (IMM5406)
DOCUMENTS LIST
o Travel documents and passports
o Proof of Admission (if applicable)
o Proof of Language Proficiency
o Letter of Attestation OR Official Transcripts (only for applicants applying for the PhD stream)
o Arranged Employment o Work Experience - Additional supporting documents may include: - copies of work contracts, and - copies of pay stubs.
o Copies of Canadian Educational Credential or Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) Report
o Proof of Education
o Proof of relationship and status in Canada (if applicable)
o Settlement Funds
o Identity and Civil Status Documents
o Children’s information(if applicable) such as: - Birth certificates (which name their parents) - Adoption papers issued by recognized national authorities showing the legal, approved adoption of adopted dependent children, - Proof of full custody for children under the age of 18 and proof that the children may be removed from the jurisdiction of the court.
o Police Certificates and Clearances
o Proof of Fee payment
o Other Documents


Alin po dito ang susundin ko? Sabi kasi dun sa PPR email, yun lamang ang dapat isubmit.

Any advice po? And san ko po ba mahahanap yung forms under FORMS LIST?

Thanks po in advance!
This is old, pero replying for others' info na rin. Follow the list of items from the PPR letter.

Note rin na bags and earphones are not allowed in the VFS Manila premises. Leave them with your companion outside if you have, or you'll have to rent a storage space for P100.

Madali lang po mag process sa Scotiabank, online lang po "Start Right" program nila for new migrants. Fill out lang ng forms online then mag sesend sila ng link para sa secure email service. Dun nila isesend yung wire transfer instructions then ask kayo sa banks n'yo kung nagpaprocess sila ng wire transfers sa Scotiabank.

Hope this helps!

Di naman, gap yung period na literally nag skip ka ng dates or wala ka nilagay. If you're not working or studying during that time, good to still put something sa profile like rest or vacation.

Salamat po, na confuse lang kami kasi minsan nakakalito yung pag fill up ng form. (Hindi po kami nag agency kasi ang mahal po talaga.)
As long as hindi naman gap yung ganun, sana po ok na po kami to upload and submit our documents. Chineck po namin, wala po kaming gap, lahat po nilagay namin :)

Yes, no need for an agency or lawyer, they designed it that way. I also filed the application myself. Extra careful lang pag-intindi ng instructions and be 100% truthful. Good luck! :)

I agree with @arthurmr , with express entry, you do not need to have a consultant or immigration lawyer. Use the money you will save for your POF and future settlement. Ako din, I applied for me and my spouse and we were able to do it without paying a lawyer. Although I advocate doing the process without a representative, I do not recommend it for anyone. I have met a few people who need help every single step of the way, and those people, I recommended that they get a consultant's services.

You will need to make time for everything you need to do though. If you do everything right and if you do it immediately, mabilis lang ang process. Delays in my processing were mostly my fault, not IRCC.
