Good day, Mr. Andrew Miller,

I have been here in the Philippines, since i was a infant together
with my family under foreign investor visa. I grew up in the
philippines, have my education and receive status for PR in the
philippines dated 1996. Though I still retain my birth of origin which
is HK, and my passport indicate that my nationality is British
National (Overseas).

Would it affect my immigration application if I sent the Canadian
Embassy of Manila, a copy of my permanent residence in the
Philippines, for the reason that they might not process my application
because I'm not a citizen of the Philippines and is out of their
jurisdiction if proof of residence is not provided. Fearing that I
might only add to the presently backlog of application
the Canadian Embassy Manila is experiencing due to the closure last
Nov. 28, 2001. My application together with my friend were received on
Dec. 20, 2001 by the Canadian Embassy Manila. Then we received our AOR
on Jan. 21, 2001 and Jan. 17, 2001 respectively. Although my friend
had already received a second letter from them dated May 16, 2001
indicating that a interview is required.Currently, I'm still waiting
for selection decision from the Canadian Embassy Manila.

Moreover, My passport is exipring this coming March, 2004 and I'm
really concerned that I might not have my visa completed by then,
adding the fact that the Canadian Embassy in Manila has a backlog of
application.
Would it be wise to submit a copy of a renewed passport to accompany
the expiring passport and what type of envelop must I used and
information written outside envelop.

Appreciate the advice to be provided by Mr. Andrew Miller.

Thanks
Alvin

You still have more than a year until expiration of your passport - calm
down and wait.
