Going to Canada while under petition

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

 I got a call from Canadian Embassy
yesterday afternoon to double check if i had the right email address.
They said they will send an email for additional requirements. Before
we hung up, (just to make sure) I asked the girl about my going to
Canada next week for my CRNBC test which is due this year. At first she
explained how slim the chances are if I were to apply for a Tourist Visa.
I said I already have one. Her advise is for me to attach a letter
stating the reason, my address and contact number for correspondence.
When i opened my email, there were 3 requirements: NBI clearance
w/fingerprint and dry seal, ORIG marriage certificate (I really think it has to come
from the NSO even if I wasn't married in the Phils. I called DFA MAnila,
and they said they haven't gotten a response from the consular office
in Chicago where they/we filed it..maybe in 2 weeks daw), and my
passport. My question is, how am i going to give them my passport? I
asked from the forum and one person said: 

If u dont have the visa yet n u are going to apply the chances are very slim but  remember every case is different...

Also it will not affect the sponsorship application....

Yes u can stay till April and if u get a passport request, all u can do is a Flag Pole at the nearset boarder crossing.....

 I might be wrong but this is what i know for now, maybe some one
with more exp with throw more on this  or offer the right direction

 I already left an authorization letter
for them to claim the marriage certificate just in case I would've left
by then. Plan is, someone will mail the other 2
requirements for me (NBI and Marriage cert), while I bring my passport to
Canada (of course), and send it from there? Applicants fr other
countires get their visas no more than 30 days upon giving their
passports (as they say that
s the law). In the Philippines, I noticed that once they get it, the embassy can keep your passport for as long as 3 months...
