Hi.. may tanong lang ako.. kasi yung tungkol sa CFO seminar ng asawa ko medyo confused lang ako. I checked www.cfo.gov.ph and alin ba yung dapat nya puntahan, Filipinos Leaving the Country with Immigrant Visa or Filipino Spouses and Partners of Foreign National? And same lang ba yun ng PDOS?

Dalawa pong klase ng seminar ginagawa ng CFO.. Una.. PDOS - Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar. Para po ito sa mga spouse na PR holder pa lang ang sponsor... 2nd is yung GCS or Guidance Counselling Seminar.. Para sa mga spouse ito na Canadian citizen na sponsor..either born Canadian citizen (foreigner) or Naturalized ( by law). Hope this helps...

Oh yah sorry I checked the CFO website kasi nung una eh now alam ko na binasa ko yung sa website ng SMEF-COW.
Yup I'll tell my hubby na agahan ang pagpunta since malapit lang naman house namin sa pinas sa quezon city.
Salamat sa tulong mo..

so halos magkasabay lang pala tayo? ay hopefully makatanggap tayo ng good news this week :'( pry lang

Ok.. Eto munang gawin mo.. contact DHL baka naka list yung name mo sa kanila for Visa.. pero since walang DHL dyan di nila ma deliver..
Kung wala name mo sa DHL, better contact the Canadian Embassy and tell them na DM ka na since March 22 pa at di mo na natatanggap Visa mo..
Kung di mo ma-contact ang Canadian Embassy... Puntahan mo na lang.. you have a very valid reason para pa-akyatin ka nila sa 6th floor ng Canadian Embassy... Good luck!!

haizz,,, ala talaga po,,, ncontact ko n lhat ng courier,,, cguro need ko nlng cla puntahan mas sure cguro pag gnon,,,

Yes, better puntahan nyo na lang... dont forget to print-out a hard copy of the ECAS status saying na DM na kayo..
You need to show this sa security/information sa RCBC Plaza para papasukin kayo sa 6th floor ng CEM... Clearly explain to them na DM na kayo since March 22 at wala pa kayong natatanggap na visa.
