16 December 2020, Calgary – Following the partnership they forged on 30 October 2020, the Philippine Consulate General (PCG) in Calgary and the Calgary Catholic Immigrant Society (CCIS) jointly held a webinar about the PCG’s consular services.

During the webinar held on 14 December 2020, Consul General Zaldy Patron explained in details to the Filipino temporary foreign worker (TFW) clients of CCIS, the biggest non-profit organization in Southern Alberta, the various consular services of the PCG. 

One of the CCIS’ programs is the Community Support Services (CSS), previously known as the TFW Program, which counts the Filipino TFWs as among its major beneficiaries.

Consul General Patron discussed the features of the PCG’s new passport online appointment system, which the PCG began using for passport bookings from 23 November 2020 onward. He also explained the PCG’s other consular services, such as the retention and re-acquisition of Philippine citizenship, civil registration, notarials and legalization of documents, and NBI verification.
