There are certain consular assistance tasks that the Embassy can manage for you. These tend be for for those who are getting married in the Philippines and those who lost their passport. There are also those who need a public notary and those who need to register their child who was born in the Philippines.

There is a process for each of these that you will need to understand and follow. See below what can be done under consular assistance. Be pleased to note that the Canadian Embassy in Manila has full passport services available.

If you have lost your passport while in the Philippines you will need to report this to the police. They will give you a case number and proof that you reported the lost or stolen passport. You will then need to contact the Canadian Embassy in Manila or the Canadian Consulate in Cebu for an appointment to apply for a new passport.

When you complete the application forms you will need to add the case number to the application form. They will process the passport application and will issue you with a temporary travel document or a passport.
