Continuation of B: To renew or apply for passport at Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) certificate from Seminar B is required

To avoid delay of visa processing, make sure all fees were paid, and all documents were submited.

Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF). If this fee is not paid with the application, Canadian Embassy Manila will first contact you to send you a letter to tell you to pay. The letter goes to the person being sponsored but the fees have to be paid by the sponsor themselves. You then pay your fees online or at a bank and have to send the proof to CPC-Missassauga. Then CPC-M sends notice to the CEM that it was paid.
It takes time to get back to you to tell that the fees are paid. So it does slow down the process quite a bit. Failure to pay the fee at the time of submission of the application will result in a minimum additional two-month delay in the finalization of the application according to http://www.cnn1.net/pdf_forms/3900E.pdf

Additional documents usually requested by the embassy:
1. AOM (Advisory on Marriage) from NSO- different from Marriage Certificate; should be submitted at CPC-Missassauga together with other required documents at Country Specific Instructions-Philippines http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3905e.pdf
2. Divorce Petition- different from Divorce Certificate; usually requested from Filipino sponsors who are divorced based on experiences of posters in this forum. (For natural-born Canadian sponsors who are divorced, seems that they don't ask from you, but pls confirm at CEM)
3. Appendix A- or Additional Family Information; though submitted previously, they will still ask a copy; the letter usually comes with the AOR/PPR
4. Detailed statement of relationship with the EX (notarized)- for sponsored person with a child from their ex. Sometimes you are required to submit: Ex's I.D, a notarized letter stating the ex allows the child to be sponsored, or other document asked by the visa officer.

To check application status (eCAS), download forms, guidelines and know more about Citizenship and Immigration Canada: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/e-services/index.asp

Magkaiba po ang Marriage certificate sa Advisory of Marriage...Yung marriage cert yun yung contract ng marriage nyo...Yung AOM record of marriages sa NSO kung ilang beses kayo kinasal at kung kanino.

Tama po

While reading this thread regarding PC 25's case, I have the following theories:

1. The husband of PC25 came through Canada via as a dependent of his parents application. By the computing the his age as described in PC25's story, he must have been over 22 years old (the cutoff of dependent children). Because he was declared as a FULLTIME student he was admitted as a dependent.

2. Now when the husband sponsored PC25 as spouse, they must have shown proof of relationship crossing the dates of PC25's husband's landing. Opening up an investigation/query on his admission. The assumption of having a common-law relatioship (spouse) emancipates the dependent - thus disqualifying him on his parent's application.

3. Because the husband's entry is now final and complete, the VO could not touch his case, thus, the sanctions to their spousal application. (it is sad to speculate that, the parents of the husband might have been flagged already because of this mistake).

Just a thought.

It would be nice if PC25 could update update us with the outcome, so that it could help others when dealing with the same case.

are they live-in together before he arrives to canada? they should remain bf/gf's until he arrives canada, being common-law or married during their application (as a dependent) was a misrepresentation. They have to appeal but the chances are very low and the husband might get deported.

Im so happy!!!.. ;D ;D ;D ;D I just received via postal mail from CPC-M a letter requesting for the PAYMENT for RIGHT of PERMANENT RESIDENCE FEE (RPRF). They are requesting to pay the fees within 30 days and include the RPRF Fees document (bottom portion of the letter to be detached).

Question lang po....Does this RPRF request by CPC-M implies that a DECISION HAS BEEN MADE and they are about to ISSUE the VISA pending payment of the permanent residence fee?

May naka experience po na ng the same situation na ganito??? Appreciate your feedback.. thanks!!

hi Raniloc, as far as I know it is most likely na ganun na nga, visa na yan.. kaya lang wala parin exact number ng days kun kelan dadating visa.. ;D ask ko lang po magkano binayarn mo or nung sponsor mo sa CIC? bakit nahuli yung RPRF? may kasama kang dependent sa application?
