You should also bring the following:

• Work permit in Canada or Permanent Resident Card
• Certificate of dual citizenship
• Updated tourist visa
• Status verification issued by the CIC

It is important to renew the passport six months before its expiration because the passport has been produced in the Philippines and the Consulate has no control over it. The expected duration for the issuance of the renewed passport is 8 to 10 weeks.

In case of any delay, the Consulate is not liable for it. Thus, Filipinos should renew their passports earlier to allow more time for the renewal of visas, work permits, permanent resident cards or to update the immigration status.

The passport renewal fee is $81.00 and you can pay either in cash or through bank draft or money order payable to the Philippine Consulate General.
