[rosycheekzz]

Thats true. It is also called the Legal capacity to Marry for the canadian citizen thats the counterpart for the certificate of no marriage for filipina partner.

However getting the NSO certified marriage certificate will might take up to 6 months to process but there is an exception where in you can expedite the process into a month by asking the civil registry office for the advance endorsement of the marriage contract to the NSO.

correct.. You just have to inform the local civil registrar that you want a fast endorsement. You will pay 100 pesos for the fast endorsement and 140 pesos for the NSO authenticated marriage certificate.
