You can read all the info and requirements in the CIC website:

Good day everyone. Im just new here, my girlfriend and I are planning to get married this July. I have some concerns prior to completing our application. I am planning to send the application this September.

1. Her passport will expire on May 2016, ano po ang mas magandang gawin, i renew na yung passport before application or isend na yung application and then update the CIC regarding passport renewal?

2. If we are going to renew her passport, the earliest appointment we could get is Aug 2016 pa. Ang concern ko ay: pag kinasal kami ng july, (months ang hihintayin for nso marriage cert which is requirement to change name & status) pag nirenew namin yung passport nya, which is august, single and maiden name nya pa din yung nakalagay sa passport nya dahil wala pa kaming copy ng nso marriage certificate. May kaso po ba yung maiden name at status sa passport, kasi baka makita ng CIC na we got married on july but nung nagrenew ng passport ay di binago yung surname at status nya?

I am staying in the Philiipines for just one month so we aim to finish everything on that timespan. Then as soon as I get back here in Canada isesend ko na yung application namin. Salamat po sa makakasagot ng mga tanong ko. God bless us all sa ating application.

Hi everyone,

Newbie here. I submitted my application on Sept. 2015... here's my timeline

Sept.17,2015 - Received application (sponsor & permanent residence) ; Medical result of my husband was received during this time also.
Nov. 05, 2015 - Started processing (sponsor)
Nov.27,2015 - application approved (sponsor)
Dec.08,2015 - They started my husbands application in Manila

And up to this time, I haven't heard anything from immigration... Does anybody here have the same situation as I have? your response will be much appreciated. thank you very much...

I just got married so baka makatulong ang mga experience ko for your case.

1. Renew the passport now. Ang tagal ng pagpapaschedule ng renewal ng passport sa Manila area. Like what you said, August 2016 na ang earliest schedule na nakuha nyo.

2. Hindi required na baguhin agad ang surname after marriage...unless gusto nyo. I applied for my husband's sponsorship using my maiden name. Wala naman problema if maiden name nya ang gamitin nyo sa application.


Additional tips:

1. If you're willing, you can renew NOW her passport without appointment. Yun nga lang, my husband went all the way to DFA Legazpi. Doon kase ang sure kami na walang appointment. Umalis husband ko around 9pm in Manila, dumating sya Legazpi early morning, then umuwi ng 6pm same day. Ang passport pwedeng ipa-LBC pagtapos na so you don't have to go back there.

2. Just continue checking and refreshing the DFA appointment site. I experience na may nagiging available na mas earlier sched.

3. FOR NSO Marriage certificate, hindi kailangan maghintay ng months. How? Pumunta ka kung saang city hall under kayo kinasal, humingi ka ng PROOF OF ENDORSEMENT. Maliit na papel lang yan with the details kung kelan nila pinadala sa NSO ang marriage certificate nyo. Pag meron ka na nyan, pumunta kasa sa NSO MAIN. Hindi dun sa mahabang pila dun sa back office nila. Yung sa amin narelease in two weeks.

4. Kung gusto nyo makapag-apply ng sponsorship ASAP (after your wedding), use her maiden name.

Goodluck!

--- hi there... Should I be receiving it? My representative didn't say anything to me if there was an acknowledgement of my husbands application... Was just relaying on my Online status... We followed up last April, but we didn't heard back from them... My hubby's medical will expire on July, that's why im getting more anxious... :'(

It took me 2months to complete our application. Tapos na sana kami ng mid April kaya lang nagpalit new version ang form IMM 0008 so I need to re-do it and resend again to Philippines for my husband's signature. Ang sinubmit ko lang ay Option C Printout 2015 kase first time ko lang mag file ng tax this year for 2015. I just arrived here last year.

Ang makakapagpalit lang ng date sa form ay ang CIC. Pag nagrelease sila ng new version (new version = new date). Ang date sa form ay based sa version at hindi sa kung kelan ka nag-fill up.
