We are pleased to announce that the Philippine Embassy in Ottawa will conduct a consular outreach in Quebec City on the following date:
Date: Saturday, 27 September 2025, 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. (Venue TBC)
The consular team will provide passport services, legalization, reports of birth, marriage and death, and NBI clearance.
The Migrant Workers Office-Toronto (formerly Philippine Overseas Labor Office) will join the outreach mission. For MWO-related inquiries and their list of services, please contact mwo_toronto@dmw.gov.ph
We urge applicants not to bring with them people who have no consular business to conduct as the crowd will be tightly managed at the venue. Travel companions may wait outside the venue. Appearance is strictly by appointment only.
Please note that an approved appointment does not guarantee that your transaction will be completed on the appointed date without the presentation of sufficient documentary requirements. Please make sure to bring your complete documentary requirements, their photocopies, and cash or debit card for payment.
We look forward to serving you.
