@Darlspyke

Yup they will ask for Advisory on Marriage. Usually dumarating yan together with the AOR and PPR, o kaya pag di sabay sabay, mareceive mo sya 2 or more days as Additional Request after PPR. Iba iba kasi experience natin dito sa forum. Yung appendix A din, humihingi ulit sila kahit nagpass kana, siguro dahil sa ibang applicants my mga kailangang idagdag na info.

Usually late ang pag update ng eCAS, my mga nakareceive ng visa pero wala paring nagbago sa eCAS. at my hindi ring makapag open nito. Sabi ng iba, di daw siya reliable.

Bantayan mo ang email mo baka my isend sayo ang embassy or kaya thru snail mail or call. Iba' ibang paraan nakareceive ang mga kaforum natin ng AOR,PPR at additional docs request.

Pakitignan nalang sa Table na na-post ko ang Timeline ng kabatch mong April. More likely magkaka-idea ka kung kelan my aor and ppr sila. At kung kelan may in process, dm and visa received tignan mo yung mga past batch.

God bless. And goodluck.

hi welcome here....tingnan mo yung table ni mrsh page 568or567 para ma compare mo ibat ibang case tayong lahat at least my hint ka ......good luck sa papers mo,prepare yourself if your lucky enough mabigyan ka kaagad nang visa mayroon naman matagal but pray is always the key....sa ecas mo wait kang kaunti ma open din yan.

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
