Hi guys! I dont wanna be such a pessimist...but, have you encountered anyone who had a PPR and then got rejected at the end? Is PPR not an assuarance for visa? Oh well...paranoid lang! Hehehe!
Here is the email that we got from CEM when i emailed them using hubby's email address. It was on his junk mail and i recently found it.

Hello sorry still confuse, in my case filipino husband ko pero canadian citizen na sya need ko pa ba guidance and counseling or PDOS nalang po? And pag PDOS need pa ba nung mga sticker and cert? Sorry po better na alam ko na now para pag dating ng Visa may idea na po ako. Hehe excited lang! Thank you very much.
Guidance Counselling ang attendan mo dahil naturalized canadian citizen ang filipino husband mo. Ang PDOS kasi ay para s mga asawa ng permanent residents pa lang (yung mga kakamigrate pa lang and di pa nakaka attain ng citizen status).


And yes, kelangan nung CFO sticker at CFO certificate dahil hahapanin sau yun sa immigration sa airport.Kahit pa may ticket, passport and visa ka pa...if wala ka nyang mga yan di ka nila palalabasin ng Pilipinas.

Both ang GC at PDOS ay ng iissue ng certificate pag nakattend ka na...at lalagyan ka nila ng stickerkapag may visa ka na on hand.

Wag ka mag-alala...pagpunta nyo doon, tatanungin naman kau if ang asawa nyo ay citizen or PR tapos issegregate kau ng pila dahil magkaibang room and floors yun. 3rd floor ang para sa guidance counselling, 5th floor ata yung sa PDOS.
