hi eeyore and uripot: this is what i understand po: ;D ;D
1.diretso PDOS (Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar) na sa CFO office ang spouses of non-Canadian citizens; CFO registration and then received the CFO sticker.
2. spouses of Canadian citizens need to attend the Guidance and Counselling to any of the CFO service providers first; then registration at CFO office; then CFO sticker (Yung Guidance and Counseling Seminar na ang parang pinaka PDOS dito)
3. 13-19 years old need to attend the Peer counseling at CFO office; registration and CFO sticker.

For Number 2: As Filipinos going abroad (spouses or other partners of
foreign nationals), you are required to attend the CFO's guidance and counseling session in order to secure the Guidance and Counseling Certificate (GCC). Foreign national here is "an individual who is a citizen of any country other than the Philippines so in our case Canadian citizen na sya". ;D
The seminar is conducted in Manila and Cebu (not sure of other provinces). In Manila, you may proceed to either two of
CFO's service providers: the St. Mary Euphrasia Foundation-Center for Overseas Workers (SMEF-COW) in Quezon City or the People's Reform Initiative for Social Mobilization, Inc. (PRISM) in Taft Ave.
After you finish the counseling session, you will be given the Certificate of Attendance by SMEF-COW or PRISM which you will have to bring along with other pertinent documents, to the CFO or the Commision on Filipino Overseas for registration which you will be issued a CFO Sticker.
Sa Manila ang alam kong CFO Office is located at 1345 Pres. Quirino Avenue corner Osmeña Highway (South Superhighway) Manila 1007.
