Continuation of B: To renew or apply for passport at Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) certificate from Seminar B is required

To avoid delay of visa processing, make sure all fees were paid, and all documents were submited.

Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF). If this fee is not paid with the application, Canadian Embassy Manila will first contact you to send you a letter to tell you to pay. The letter goes to the person being sponsored but the fees have to be paid by the sponsor themselves. You then pay your fees online or at a bank and have to send the proof to CPC-Missassauga. Then CPC-M sends notice to the CEM that it was paid.
It takes time to get back to you to tell that the fees are paid. So it does slow down the process quite a bit. Failure to pay the fee at the time of submission of the application will result in a minimum additional two-month delay in the finalization of the application according to http://www.cnn1.net/pdf_forms/3900E.pdf

Additional documents usually requested by the embassy:
1. AOM (Advisory on Marriage) from NSO- different from Marriage Certificate; should be submitted at CPC-Missassauga together with other required documents at Country Specific Instructions-Philippines http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3905e.pdf
2. Divorce Petition- different from Divorce Certificate; usually requested from Filipino sponsors who are divorced based on experiences of posters in this forum. (For natural-born Canadian sponsors who are divorced, seems that they don't ask from you, but pls confirm at CEM)
3. Appendix A- or Additional Family Information; though submitted previously, they will still ask a copy; the letter usually comes with the AOR/PPR
4. Detailed statement of relationship with the EX (notarized)- for sponsored person with a child from their ex. Sometimes you are required to submit: Ex's I.D, a notarized letter stating the ex allows the child to be sponsored, or other document asked by the visa officer.

To check application status (eCAS), download forms, guidelines and know more about Citizenship and Immigration Canada: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/e-services/index.asp

Hi to everyone,

A decision has been made on my application. Received already my passport with visa back in manila. I am currently here in UAE, my question is do I need to go back to manila & fly from there or I can go directly from here (UAE) because there is this pamplet that came with my passport & docs, the canadian orientation abroad (COA) and stating that I need to register & attend seminar (PDOS) before I can go to canada. Do I need to do this even though I am already outside of the Philippines? Please enlighten me. Thank you

 

[dwade]

Thank you po sa mga nag-reply regarding my question...


@ dwade

sir,

di ko kabisado kung kelan na-submit ni wifey appication ko pero ito natatandaan ko...yung later part lng ang medyo alam ko... =)

aug 2010 - filled up application (habang nakabantay wife ko.tagal na kasi nya hinihingi early 2010 pa,inabutan na lang ako ng bakasyon nya..hehe)
sep 2010 - application submitted to cic-missssauga
oct 2010 - medical done.
dec 2010 - approve wife ko to sponsor me. application forwarded to manila
jan 05, 2011 - application received by manila embassy
jan 13, 2011 - request for passport, NSO advisory of marriage & appendix A. (Can't submit because I accepted an offer in UAE & my flight is Jan30th)
feb 1, 2011 - arrived in UAE. Planned to send my passport back to manila for embassy requirement but my employer needs it for my application for resience visa here in UAE.(delay again, the 45days due is counting)
feb 9, 2011 - ecas status : started processing your application (although di ko pa submit everything na hinihingi nila maybe waiting dun sa passport ko)
mar 2011 - received my passport with residence status here in UAE. but still can't send it to manila, still waiting for my emirates ID & labor card.
apr 2, 2011 - finally send my passport to manila after more than 45days due.hopefully they still accept it.
apr 11, 2011 - received an email for FINAL REQUEST. same letter I receive last january.Another 45days.Sakto,buti napadala ko na sa manila april 6 nadeliver sa embassy via LBC.
apr 30 - one month after I send my passport.don't know if immigration received my passport kasi wala naman sila acknowledgement. ecas status "In process".
may 1-15, 2011 - every week checking on ecas. still in process...worried already with my passport.
may 20, 2011 - ecas status: a decision has made on your application. the office will contact you concerning this decision.
may 21, 2011 - passport received with visa & all the docs I submitted.
may 29, 2011 - waiting for my passport arrival here in UAE next week. hopefully...

medyo detailed timeline but I hope I gave you an idea with regards to my application. Goodluck to all! =) Thank you

ngpass po ba kayo in advance nung other requirements like NSO advisory before yung passport nyo or sabay-sabay?

thanks sir!
