CFO Commission on Filipino Overseas is a filipino government agency, required to all filipino people to have a certificate and sticker stamped to every filipino passport to pass at international airport here in the Philippines. They have 2 types of seminar for spousal visa: a sponsor who is a permanent residence and canadian citizen. Permanent resident have their seminar (PDOS) at the main cfo office while canadian cit. (counselling) are at 2 different ngo's: PRISM and SMEF-COW. PRISM at taft in front dela salle univ, while SMEF-COW at katipunan, quezon city. You need to pay 250 pesos at cashier and 150 pesos, total is 400 pesos in my counseling, don't know how much in PDOS. AND IT IS MANDATORY, remember if petition person dont have this, she/he will be hold by Bureau of Immigration at the airport.


IOM International Organization for Migration which organize a COA Canadian Orientation Abroad, a world wide and official pre depature orientation project funded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and as I've said to my previous post it cost NOTHING and it is very helpful seminar to all newcomers. Don't worry about this, you will receive the flyer it will attach to your wife's COPR Certificate of Permanent Resident together with passport and visa.

And kindly understand my grammar and spelling because i dont have any time to look and read all over again to my post, i'm in a bad shape today, sleepy and tired and pack my things again for my flight tomorrow to Canada, all i want is to share my experience because this forum helps me lot from the very beginning. Hope this helps...

Your spelling and grammar is very good.
Thanks for your detailed response.
Which city will you be going to live in?

thanks sis jing and crisetphil.

to iambjohn and ajw and all here, dont worry guys....it will come soon, i been in your situation before (depressed and stress) and scared at the same time, dont compare your timeline it will cause you more and more down and sad, put allowance, thats what i did before, you never know one of you can break the GUINESS BOOK OF RECORDS who's the shortest timeline this year batch.... Let your spouse enjoy their remaining time with their families in Philippines because it will make them break their heart and feel homesick. Because I feel that too and i don't want to let my husband know that i feel sad to leave my mom behind, i'm feel guilty both of them and I love them.

@Floydannie
It's ok to let your husband know you will miss parents that's normal.

BTW Filipinos were ranked as #1 immigrants to Canada to adapt and contribute to economy.

You will find its cold here so dress in layers and wear hat and gloves.
Wear some good quality socks even indoors so your feet are kept warm, Marks Work has good quality socks.

Try to do some activities outside even when it's cold, if you stay inside too much during winter you will start to hate winter.

We still have not received anything from CEM so looks like I will play hockey at MOA instead of Ottawa this December.
It's hard not to compare timeline when people who applied in August already have PPR.

Have a safe flight and thanks for all the info.
