Since the normal processing time has passed, you can email the Canadian Embassy in Makati's visa section. You can find the email address on the embassy website. When you email them, clearly state why this visa is urgent.

Good luck.

I think hindi possible yun. since sa port of entry nya malamang tatanungin sya how long yung stay, six months lang sasabihin nya dahil yun lang din ung nasa invitation letter nya, then we'll try to apply for an extension of stay dito na sa Canada.

@Lyn28
My mom got her visa yesterday it was issued Aug 9, 2013 and last til Feb 6, 2013.
Andito na ba mother mo? San ka ng nakakuha ng ticket? Destination ng mother ko is Edmonton. Kayo san kayo rito sa Canada. Im planning to get her a tucket right away. Just trying to look for a cheaper one. Let me know where did you guys buy your Moms plane ticket.

Thanks

So if you are requested to pick up your passport then would that mean you have been declined?

Not necessarily. A request to pick-up the passport may indicate presentation of the applicant before a VO prior to issuance of the visa. Not very often this happens. If not, then their courier services may not deliver to the address of the applicant for reasons unknown :(.

Manila VO/CEM - visit visa applicants typically are sent back their passports via courier whether declined or approved. May be different now with PIASI services, but courier services are still available.

Thanks.

They do not inform the applicant that they were either approved or denied? Or at least in this case they didn't.

A workmate's sister invited a childhood friend to visit from the Philippines and all she received from the embassy was an email/letter informing her to pick up her passport. She is from Baliol. About an 8 hour drive to Manila.
