Hello!!! :) Ask ko lang kase nag work din ako sa Taiwan but before I came back to pinas, kumuha nako ng Police Certificate Taiwan sa Miaoli, year 2008 at 2011 ako nag Taiwan 2x... Ngayon si cic ba gusto nya yung pinaka recent like this year 2013 or hindi naman basta may police certificate ka na pinasa from Taiwan?
I am not sure. Check the list of requirements. I think PCs are valid for one year from the date they're issued. So kung 2008 and 2011 pa PC mo, I would assume that they're not valid anymore. You could call CIC-M to confirm.

Mam, kung kasama nyo po ba sponsor nyo sa pag travel dalawa po ba kayong papasok sa immigration or ikaw lang po ang mag-isang tatanungin nila?
Di ko lang po sure kasi mag isa lang po ako nun na nagtravel ask na po nyo sa loob mismo ng CBSA office pagpasok may officer na nagbibigay ng number pakitanong nalang po, or baka sa mga ka forum natin may naka experience na wait nalang po sa comment ng iba, saka Vancouver Airport kita yung loob ng CBSA office sa labas harap ng baggage claim area kaya makikita ka ng kasama mo sa loob kung sa Vancouver ang Port of entry mo. Dito sa T. Pearson di ko lang po alam.

hello po..bago lang po kc me dito..tanong ko lang..kaylangan po ba magpalit ng status?..kasi po yung pasport ko, single pa nakalagay pero bago langpo kasi yun and sabi po ng husband ko(Canadian)..thanks po...

Kahit di na po kayo magpalit ng status sa Passport nyo pwede pa rin po nyong gamitin pero pagdating nyo po dito sa Canada medyo matagal ang pagpapalit ng status a friend of mine had the same case . Ginamit nya yung single status nya na Passport pero pagdating nya dito at pinalitan din nya to married name sa Passport inabot po siya ng 5-6 months bago napalitan ang status nya bale mag 10 months na sya dito sa Canada. Sabi nya kung alam lang daw niya sa ganun katagal sa Pinas nalang daw nya ginawa.

Pero choice pa rin po nyo kung gagamitin nyo po ang single status or papalitan . Sinishare ko lang po ang kaparehong case at naging experience ng friend ko .

sorry po.....
sis ano yung "gcms notes"?..kaylangan ba yun pag spousal sponsorship?..

thanks... :)
Opo kailangan pong umattend ng Seminar sa CFO para magkaron ng sticker ang Passport . Kasi isa po na tinitignan ng Immigration Officer sa Airport sa Pinas kahit may visa na at plane ticket kung wala pong CFO sticker na nakadikit sa Passport di makakaalis ng Pinas . Naalala ko po nung paalis ako dyan at nakapila sa Immigration sa NAIA yung kasunod ko na babae na hold sya at naquestion kasi may Visa sya papunta dito pero wala syang CFO sticker kaya di sya nakaalis nung araw na yun . Sayang yung time at ticket nya ...

Actually ikaw na mismo ang tatanungin ng guard kung PR or canadian citizen ang spouse mo. A day before pumunta sa CFO mag print na ng application form nila from their website at fill-up na sa bahay para verification na lang pag dating sa CFO.

Yes, tues & fri only for partners/spouse/change status of foreign national. Wala po makakapag sabi kung everyday mahaba ang pila sa CFO since as far as i know 1x or 2x lang naman tayo nakapunta dun para sa seminar. So make sure na maaga ka lalo na at konti lang ang slots ng partners/spouse/change status ng foreign national.

Check mo po mabuti requirements sa website nila at lagi naman sila updated according from their staff na natanong ko. Cheers! :)

Ok lang po yun , opo yun lang po ang araw para sa mga Canada bound. Pwede mo na rin pong iprint yung Form sa website ng CFO scroll down lang po naka PDF sya para pagdating dun madali lang ganun ginawa ko nun . Pagpasok dun glass door parang pinaka Lobby area dun mo sabihin mo na GCS ang seminar na aatenand mo tatanungin po iyon kung ano status ng sponsor mo ganun din po sa akin Canadian Citizen po ang sponsor ko. Sa City Gold po sticker lang po kinuha ko dun pero nung Seminar sa Quezon City ako umattend pero walana sya sobrang dami ng tao dun. Sa City Gold Quirino Ave. im not sure pero punta po kayo ng maaga kasi first come first serve basis wala appoinment may limited din 15 slot per session. Kaya be there early kunggusto mo pong matapos ng maaga. Then yung mga ipapaphoto copy gawin mo na sa inyo . Although meron dun sa gilid sa right side nung pumunta kasi ako nun sa City Gold sticker lang kinuha ko so dun lang ako mismo sa baba. Dala ko na yung Passport ko at tapos yung COPR ko dun ko pinaprint sa right side ng Building dumating kami dun i think around 3:00 PM na medyo matagal din ang paghihintay para lang sa sticker kokonti lang kami 6 persons lang kasama na ko dun inabot ng isang oras grabe talaga . Tawanan lang sila ng tawanan chikahan ng chikahan mga empleyado sarap ng buhay ... :D :D :D

Hello kababayans,

I've read your tips for sponsorship and I must say it helped a lot. I am planning to sponsor my husband. All papers are signed and I'm about to pass it when I realized that my permanent resident card is expired already. I immediately mailed all the necessary documents to immigration for PR renewal. But I'm just wondering if it's possible to include the photocopy of my old PR card in the sponsor application while I'm waiting for my new PR card. The processing time for PR card is 100 days and I don't want to wait that long to pass my sponsorship application :( I've tried calling the immigration but the call agents say different things. One advised me that my old PR card is okay provided that I write an explanation. The other two said that I can't because it's not valid anymore. :( now I don't know what to do..

Thank you so much in advance!
