I had an appointment on Wednesday at CFO Cebu for a Guidance Counselling Program session, July 6, 2016. Unfortunately, my flight time is 7:15 to 8am, it's the only earliest flight from Airlines and it was stated in the appointment form to be there at EXACTLY 8am. I have to travel from airport, surely I will arrive later than 30 minutes or so. My question is, are they going to void my appointment if I arrive late? To those who had experience in CFO Cebu, need your advice. P.S The Counseling was scheduled from 2 to 5pm. Thank you

Guys, thank you for your replies. I have received an answer to my queries. What I did, I contacted their Facebook page CFO Manila, because the CFO Cebu FB page is not working and not updated. This is for everyone who in the future might need this idea. Wednesday, July 6, 2016 is declared as nonworking holiday by the Malacañang, unfortunately it wasn't declared yet when I booked on the said date. So I got confused whether they'll be open on Wednesday. I searched any means to contact them and asked for the month matter. I'm blessed I've found their fb page and sent them a message, including my problem that I will be late on the said date (lesson: Always read all instructions though sometimes are confusing esp. for the first timer like me! Lol) So, their FB page answers promptly all your queries. And they also helped me contact CFO Cebu and asked if it's okay to be a little late due to circumstances. Oh yeah! And tomorrow is my flight there. :P I hope there'll be no storm coming. Otherwise it'll delay my flight more. ? God bless

By the way, I'm applying for Canada.

By the way, applying for Canada's spouse visa.
