Based on previous posts by other members, just request from PSA (formerly NSO) a CENOMAR.. If your MC is already on their system, PSA will instead give you the Advisory on Marriage. If I may ask, when did you get married? Thanks
Does every applicant through MVO have to supply an AOM? We did not, and have received a request for additional documents already, but AOM was not listed. Just wondering if we are to expect a second request for documents in the future?

Does Manila VO send out physical mail AOR2? Or email? My wife has a hard time checking her snail mail...wish it was all emails.
If you supplied an email address all communication should occur electronically.

Was that request for additional documents through an email specifically asking for them or was it part of the AOR2 email? We also didn't provide AOM because we were married abroad.

We received an email that was both AOR2 and requesting for proof of Canadian citizenship for our daughter who was born here in the Philippines.

We were married here in the Philippines, so maybe we'll need to provide one yet? :mad:

Did the request for proof of Canadian citizenship come as an attachment in the email? I'm trying to understand what a specific document request looks like since the AOR2 email covers many documents and looks general.

Oh sure, let me pull up the e-mail we received:

The e-mail description

F000xxxxx - my wife's name - AOR
The e-mail body:

Dear my wife's name:

This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada. Please see attached letter for details.

The file number noted above must be included on all correspondence with this office.

www.philippines.gc.ca
Then there was an attachement:

our address

Date: April 18, 2016

UCI: UCI # and File #

Dear wife's name

This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada which was received at the Embassy of Canada in Manila on 02 February 2016.

A file has been created with the application number noted above. Please ensure that you quote this application number in any future correspondence with our office.

Please note that the documentation requested in this letter is required even if you receive a subsequent letter from our office asking for additional documentation.

Due to limited resources dedicated to processing the thousands of applications currently in process, we are unable to respond to requests for status updates on your file if they fall within the average processing times.


The e-mail then goes on and on listing generic information applicable to everyone, and then right at the end lists what we need to supply.


IMPORTANT:

Additional Document/Information Requirements at This Time

In order to continue processing your application, we require the following information and/or documents:

 Proof of application of your child’s Canadian Citizenship (i.e. copy of receipt and information about the date of application and service requested)

To ensure the timely processing of your application, the document(s) and information we have requested must be provided to us within THIRTY (30) days of the date of this letter.

Unless we have specified otherwise, please send only original documents.

PLEASE RETURN A COPY OF THIS LETTER WITH THE REQUESTED DOCUMENTS.

Sincerely,

Family Class Section

Hope this helps :)

Hi! My dad just finished his interview yesterday and now he's a PR. If we have already received the passport request and mailed all the requirements to the visa office in Manila, approximately how long would it take for us to get the passports with visa stamped on it? Thanks! Oh and ECAS changed to DM before the interview. :)

Dont you worry. They will send you email regarding this matter. When you request for CENOMAR and if you are married they will give you the Advisory on Marriage. it is the counterpart of cenomar, but issued on married people only.
