Last updated: October 2026
How government fees and MabuhayConnect service fees are treated when a request is cancelled, delayed or refused, and how to ask us for a refund.
Independent Service Provider Notice
MabuhayConnect is operated by Mabuhay Connect Inc.. We are an independent third-party document assistance service and are not NBI, PSA, DFA, PRC, LTO, IRCC, or RCMP. Government agencies retain sole authority over approval, issuance, rejection and processing time.
1. Nature of Fees
We have two types of fees:
- Government / issuing agency fees set by government (NBI, PSA, DFA and others).
- MabuhayConnect service fees for assistance, review, preparation, submission, coordination and shipping.
2. Government Fees Non-Refundable
Government fees are non-refundable once submitted to the government agency, even if the application is rejected, delayed, or requires re-filing. This is government policy, not MabuhayConnect policy.
3. Service Fees Refund Policy
- Before processing starts: Full service fee refundable, minus payment processing charges (e-Transfer fees).
- After processing starts (application reviewed, prepared, submitted, fingerprint card prepared): Service fee non-refundable, because the work has been performed.
- If we cannot perform the service due to our error: Full service fee refund.
- If government rejects the application due to the client providing false or incomplete information: Service fee non-refundable.
4. Fingerprinting Services
If fingerprinting is performed by an accredited third-party provider, that provider's fee follows their own policy and is generally non-refundable once the appointment is completed.
5. Shipping Fees
Shipping and courier fees are non-refundable once the shipping label is created or the document has been shipped.
6. Cancellation
You may cancel by emailing info@mabuhayconnect.ca before processing starts. After processing starts, cancellation is not possible.
7. Processing Time Disclaimer
We do not guarantee government processing times. Delays by NBI Manila, PSA, DFA, or a courier are not grounds for a refund.
