It's not required daw, pero baka useful. So, kung may oras ka pwede. Kung tight sa time di kailangan.

But yung sa CFO, required, di ko lang sure kung alin sa dalawa ang kailangan puntahan. I asked na rin sa forum mates, wala pang reply.

PDOS is required. They can hold your departure if you haven't done your PDOS.

Hello! I attended the COA free seminar today,very useful sya and magaling ang facilitator kaya hindi ka aantukin or maiinip,free lunch and snacks din. Madami din freebies. :)

I suggest if you still have free time, attend k.

yes, from what I know everyone who are bound to Canada should attend PDOS because they will going to put a sticker on your passport that is required in the immigration once you land in airport in Canada.
This is incorrect the CFO passport sticker is a Filipino requirement in order to leave the Philippines.
We might be bypassing that one as my wife is heading back to Thailand very soon. She will likely be departing for Canada right from there.

Hi Chris congrats to you and your wife! :)
By the way, is she going to pick up her passport at the Embassy?
Cheers
Thank you! its been a lot of what ifs, and what is happening, and what can we do, before CEM called us after I emailed and made them aware of the coming situation.

Yes she is, We managed to get an in person appointment as it is impossible for her to send in her passport. She is leaving the Philippines before the end of this month to go back to Thailand to close her Thai permits and she needs her passport to be able to do that.

Chris.

(If I sent everything right away I wouldnt be in the Philippines right now... Still waiting)

Passport sent: August 25th
Passport received: August 27th
Congratulations!!. I know its late now to know....You received your PPR while you were here in Canada for a visit correct? Arrangements could have been made to send it to Ottawa as that is an option on the PPR.

Saw Someone posted from Facebook forum, they got PPR with visa Validity of MARCH 2016, he did his remedical march of this 2015. I thought That for those PPR with visa validity are for those who have their medicals near expiry.


my dilemma is we have the same timeline. Mine according to the email I received from my MP is that its being back on hold, because of my Follow up emails. and it will be opened again this may 3, 2015.

This is just really getting so weird/

So they finalized your application and approved you but them told you that you would be on hold until May 3 ? That's crazy , why finalize the application then ?

Yeah the frustrating part is you get DM and email stating visa package will be shipped shortly so you think this long process is over , but then more time passes and nothing shows up..... I guess being in business in Canada I'm
Use to getting things done quickly in Canada and most paper work flows on somewhat of a scedule... Oh well we will all get visa when we get it... It could be worse ... Some take well over a year . I hope at some point they actually develop a system that can be followed and ecas updates actually appear so they don't always have to recieve so many emails .good luck to all and to
Those who just started the process I hope the process speeds up for you , as we all know how difficult it is to live away from your spouse
