Hi, beauty. I lifted this from http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/philippines/visas/NewPassportNouveau2009.aspx "To ensure timely processing and facilitate your travel, we strongly recommend that you submit the new red-colored passports currently being issued by the Philippines authorities as...

Thanks, Harry_Tang. It took us 4 months to get the visa from the date of the medicals. Good luck!

Hi, Harry_Tang. We're still in the Philippines. We're leaving for Winnipeg on March 20. How about you?

Hi, Anabelle. If you're commuting to the COA seminar venue, you might want to try riding the MRT from Pasay. Get off at Ayala station and take a taxi from there to the Citibank Tower on Paseo de Roxas. It'll take a maximum of 10 minutes from Ayala station to the venue by taxi. See you there! ;D

Hi, santos_1024. Original documents, including certificates, do not have to be notarized. Only photocopies are notarized. Good luck!

Hi, Harry_Tang. The ticket costs USD801 + PHP 1,650 per adult. Children 11 years old and below get a 20% discount.

hi, santos_1024. Maybe, what you can do is to have "late registration" for your mother and your aunt. You can do this by taking your Mom and/or your aunt to the Office of the Civil Registrar of the town where they were born. The Registrar will be looking for two witnesses older than your...

Hi, tsarie. Yes, our ECAS status changed from In Process to Decision Made 14 days after we sent our passports to the embassy. The following day after the status was changed, we received our passports. Good luck to you and your family. ;)

Hi, Anabelle. My husband and I are going to attend the COA seminar on March 10. I don't think it's required but we might as well attend it. It's free, anyway. I'm not sure about the PDOS. That one costs P400 per person. Some say it's required. Tickets are more expensive after March 21, that's...

Anabelle, congratulations! I knew it. See you in Winnipeg. We've booked tickets for March 20. See you there. :D farima, you're welcome. Good luck to you and your family. sammy09, that request will be there before you know it. Hang in there. ;)

Hi, sammy_09. Your newborn could be required to undergo routine exams such as urinalysis and simple physical exam. Children below 12 years of age aren't required to give blood samples and those who are 10 years old and younger aren't required to undergo xray.

Hi, robin_1811. I think it's a good idea for you to go to the embassy and inquire about your case. By the way, what was the date indicated on the Acknowledgment of Receipt you received from the embassy? If that date is over, I think you may go to the embassy and ask what went wrong. Good luck!

Happy birthday, Anabelle! All the best on your birthday. I hope your passport has arrived. You're expecting it to come today, weren't you? Keep us updated. ;)

Hi, Anabelle. Have you received your stickers yet? ;D

Yes, Anabelle. Your visa may come within the week. Or early next week. Anyway, it's still cold in Manitoba by the end of February. You may want to let the winter pass as well. :-*

Thanks, tsarie. Good luck to us all! See you in Canada.

Hi, tsarie. I'm a university professor but was nominated based on my experience as a writer/editor. Good luck to all of us ;). I hope your PPR comes soon.

sammy09, the docs package from the embassy includes the passports stamped with visa, COPRs for the 4 of us, immunization record forms (for my two kids aged 12 and 9) to be filled in by my kids' pedia, instructions on seminars (pdos and the canadian government-sponsored seminar), and some of the...
