**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

[lovelex]

hey guys

good news. last June 20 ngpadala na po ng letter yung visa office ng Philippines sa wife ko. confirming yung application they just asked for a few things:

*Fully completed Appendix A (attached) for you and each of your family members, whether accompanying you to Canada or not. Passport details are not required for any family member who is not accompanying you to Canada. (Each person should complete his/her own form)

*Original Passport(s)for you and each family member who will be accompanying you to Canada.

*Original NSO advisory on marriage

*Original NSO marriage certificate.


yun po.. sorry kung di ako ng research dito sa forum as i dont really have a lot of time (nagiipon na po pang ticket ). so tanong ko lang if ano exactly yung Appendix A na kelangang i complete?

also.. yung wife ko po kasi is planning on going to Hongkong since may relative sya na isasama sya dun as a birthday gift to her. yun nga lang yung date nila dun is 3rd week of July. and mga 3 days sila dun.. pero po since ni rrequest yung passport nya ayaw po sana namin na ma compromise yung application kung ma late kami ng pag comply sa request.. nkalagay sa letter is within 45 days daw dapat mka respond na kami. so... hindi na po ba advisable na antayin na muna namin makauwi sila from Hongkong or just finish this request right away?

last thing po is the marriage advisory. nung medyo nag research ako i read na iba sya from CENOMAR. pro nung ng punta yung wife ko sa NSO and specifically ask for marriage advisory. ang binigay sa kanya is a form requesting for CENOMAR.. nag double check sya by asking the people there and ang sabi sa kanya is CENOMAR din daw po yun. tama po ba yun?

salamat po sa pag help ^___^ God bless us all!
