Pre-Departure Registration

Filipino emigrants or those leaving the country to settle permanently abroad are required to register with the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO). Part of its registration requirements is attendance in the Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar (PDOS) to prepare them for settlement overseas. Those who are 12 years old and below are exempt from attending the PDOS. They must, however, be registered, even if by proxy. Children of emigrants, aged 13 to 19, are required to attend the Peer Counseling Program to help facilitate their adjustment to a new environment.

The registration of Filipino emigrants started in 1981, or a year after the CFO was created. The registration process generates an information resource on Filipino emigrants, which provides reference for policy formulation and program development.

CFO, in my understanding is needed only if u exit from ph to US. like in my case,if i decide to fly from uae (current place) then i will leave as is. No CFO. but shld i go home to ph even if my visa process have been done outside ph, the CFO becomes mandatory. Like you, shld you stay in canada and exit from there to US, where do u take the CFO? at the ph consulate? hardly. i hope am correct with my analization.

Anyway, like someone mentioned before me, make sure u have proof of residence in canada to qualify to process your visa there. i dont know if holding tourist visa alone will grant one to file /process visa application to US. i know if u visit USE canada -the requirements are clearly stated there. goodluck and hope u come around ur dilemma soon.
