Hi guys! To assist the others, I am sharing my experience on how I submitted my passport via courier:
1. Print a copy of the PDF file that the Embassy sent you. Read and understand the instructions therein.
2. Verify instructions and charges with VFS via their website.
3. Enclosed your passport, and your dependent's (if any/make sure that passports are signed. For new ones you have to sign at page 3 of your passport) in a brown envelope, together with the letter from embassy, your photos (which must be the correct size), and manager's cheque as payment for the charges in transferring your docs from VFS to embassy. I advised you to not avail of their exorbitant sms notification coz you will nevertheless be notified via your email.
4. Go to your trusted courier. VFS address is provided also in their website.

Based on my experience, VFS processed my docs after 3 days from receipt and was sent back by the embassy to VFS within 3 working days. For security purposes, I opted to pick it up personally which is very much advisable so that right then and there you can check your docs for proper spelling, omitted details or omitted docs etc. But this barely happens. And of course you wouldnt want to miss the undeniable excitement when you opened your parcel and see those golden stamps right then and there. :)

VFS follows strict rules for pick up. They will only accommodate you from 3pm-4pm Mon to Fri. They dont allow you to take your bags and other things inside except docs, and your valuables, so you will have to avail of their locker services of you have a bag or other things with you. Fee is at 75.00.

Hope this helps. Good luck all!
I saw alot of people have bags with them when they submitted their passports... so i dunno how they let them in but anyways better just bring a big envelop w/ur doc. Just to be safe ;)

good day guys.. need your help.

we received an email last week requesting us to send our passport to VAC. i called makati branch VAC to ask for help and one thing what confused me was the cust. rep told me to send "all 6 pages of appendix B" when there's only one page for Appendix B. also the appendix B form is not a downloadable attachment, its included with in the email itself sent by Canadian embassy. can i have confirmation from you guys if your appendix b form has one or 6 pages also?
same , no PDF attached ! The only attachment they included was the Canada logo lol I think they made a mistake /they attached the wrong file.

writing.
then you need to put your name/address/signature/date, the last page is optional it's about giving consent to another person to process the submission and pick up of your visa, it's just like an authorization letter, i didn't fill up the last page but still printed and submit it with my other docs., since i will be the one who will process everything.

I didn't include fees on my package :( sabi ni kuya from (DHL) na collectible daw at magbabayad once na idedeliver sayo yung passport mo so I only paid the courier fee which is 122php lang kaya kanina hindi din ako panatag . ugh :( How much did you pay in total ?
Ibabalik po nila yun and you will need to pay for the courier fee again. Visit mo po VFS website, the instructions are all there. Passport transfer is at 570/each yata, I forgot the exact amount.

I didnt print any VFS form and Im VOH. Just sharing my actual experience. Coz the way I understand it they are de facto agent of Canada Embassy, hence can collect passports for stamping. But you always include it if you want. :)
