Mga kabayan i need answers of some of the confusing things how to send passport in embassy.

1.) i am currently in canada and i sent my passport to my mom so she can include my son passport in the mail before we send it to the embassy.
-question: can my mom personally send it directly to the embassy of canada in manila?
-they have this mail that i need to use courier collect and i am confused. The returning address is my address here in canada. so maybe when they are ready to send back my passport is that when they will contact me and pay the courier before they send my documents?

If anybody has experience about this please share i am just confused.
Hi. parang pareho yung situation naten. When my Dad sponsored us, he told us to mail all our passports to him. He was the one to send it to the Visa Office in Manila. The return address is my dad's address here. So when we got our visa, Manila Visa Office mailed the passports to him here in Canada. He sent it through Fedex and the Visa Office send it back through Fedex as well. Then he came home a week after with all our passports with our visas. Sinundo nya kame sa Pilipinas.

I suggest check mo na sa local PO nyo. Minsan kasi talagang delay daw magdeliver ng mails. Since sobrang importante yan, icheck nyo na sa PO. :)

AOM is Advisory on Marriages from NSO, its the opposite of CENOMAR. When you ask for CENOMAR from NSO, and they find in their records that u r married, they will give you an AOM. It is in the checklist (country specific guide). Another thing they ask for is Appendix A , i think it is for info on dependents or family members (i think.. im not sure coz i have no PPR yet) yes, these info are given in the IMM forms already but they ask for this still during PPR. and this is different from the appendix a-checklist we have in the country specific forms.

Also I have read cases that they ask for additional proof such as photos BEFORE (old photos) and AFTER wedding coz some send in wedding photos only (and maybe little of other forms of evidences) They also ask for baptismal and school records if they see that the applicant has late registration of birth. hope this answers your q, dadaem =)
