Hi,

Magandang araw, may mga dapat pa bang gawin bago umalis ng bansa? Naghihintay na lang ako ng passport pabalik from VAC?

Thanks!
 
Update: Heard back from the Embassy and they approved the request for extension to submit expiring passport. They also mentioned the validity of the visa that will be issued (which is 60 days from the expiry date of the expiring passport that was originally submitted with the PR application). :)

Pack your bags, you are going to Canada soon!!
 
We got COPR today! The passport and photos ended up going to the Hong Kong visa office but we finally got the update in GCKey today.

Good luck to everybody still waiting. Hang in there!
Hi, I sent my passport already. Do you know how to track it on vfs website?

This one's for my friend's son's application, just helping them get as much info as I can as this forum helped me a lot when I processed my PR application back in 2014! :) But thank you for your well wishes!

Nov 2019 applicant for sponsoring child.
Got DM on ECAS but no date, no details when opened.

No update on GcKey.

Last thing on GCKey was a medical update and then an email was sent to disregard.

Got pre-arrival last February but obviously nothing since.

Anyone else similar status?
 
when did your status change to DM on Ecas?

We got the passport request last night.

I read that the vfs was closed, but we’ve been instructed to send the paperwork there.

They’ve only given 5 days to get the paperwork in, and only until early February to land in Canada so everything is very rushed now.

Does anyone know what is required for an unaccompanied minor to get out of the Philippines? The minor is 16 so not too young.
 
DSWD will be your best source of info, will probably require authorization from them. Also check with the airline to see their requirements.

Thank you. We’re in Ottawa so were able to make an appointment at the embassy to do all the SPA and affidavits required.

I thought we would have the typical year to land but I guess not.
 
So finally, after long months of waiting we got an update. IRCC still need more infor from us and here it is:

> Military Records: As per information provided on your IMM5669 - Schedule A Background/Declaration form, you indicated you are an active member of the Philippines military. Please provide additional information on the end date of your service. If possible, please provide a copy of your Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty. Note that you must have an end date of service and documentation to support this from your employer. This must be received at this office by:

Does anyone know what document we can provide as my husband is still actively serving the military?

Thanks
