 @   karen,

wow congrats!!! you're already in canada na rin pala...ok lang ba yun mga exit sa US border? do you have US visa ?

Thanks. Sana sunod narin ung syo .Yes pwedeng mag exit through the border, and I don't need a US visa coz im not gonna enter the city nman,just a U-Turn at the border. and those who are accompanying me, na wla nman tlga purpose sa Border, cla ang dpat my US visa.especially kung hnd cla canadian citizen.

[karendeyan]

Whoa.. 43 days din po pala ang waiting period mo. By far the longest wait na narinig ko. 

Oks lang siguro yan. As long as wag lalampas sa pre-set na 90 days. or even the visa validity. 

Oo nga pickednotes, nasira ko ang trend na 35 day maximum, ewan ko ba bsta sa delays, ako lagi nangunguna. pero ok narin at least hndi na masydong stressed sa paghhintay, mag-eexit na lang ako and hubby can come over na. He will enter canada on April 5,2012. At least hindi narin masydong malamig at masnow dto sa Fort McMurray,dto kc kmi magsettle,and mas matagal ang winter dto kaya hanggang nagyon,my snow parin

hey BM!

Ayos pala...medyo challenging yan kasi may "little one" kayo sa travel. take it from me....hirap byahe ng may maliit.  and your case, im assuming vancouver ang point of entry nyo and may connecting flight kayo to calgary. be prepared for long wait. make sure there is enough time from landing to your next flight. siguro mga 6 hours .... when we landed kasi inabot kami ng 4 hours waiting for immigration to process us. so talagang hirap antay. baon ka food. siguro nagkataon din na madami kami kasabay na migrants sa flight namin...pulu-pulotong kami. puro mga families na may connecting flight din. buti kami final destination na Vancouver.

anyways....just make sure you dress up for the season. make sure to check temperature / forecast the day before kayo dumating. bundle up mo si baby... maganda layered na clothing para madali alisin pag nasa loob kayo at may heater.

maganda nga vancouver pag fall...madaming dahon sa kalye pero start na lumamig. dumating kami nun Sept kaya start na autumn.

tama ka....prepare for the travel. tapos babalik pa pala kayo? kung 2 weeks lang plan nyo stay dito apply na kayo ng visa agad pag balik nyo. kasi by that time di nyo pa natatanggap ang PR nyo. kelangan nyo kasi yun pagbalik nyo Canada. make arrangements and inquire agad kung ano gagawin. pero malamang advise nila kayo na antayin muna PR para less hassle.

Sige good luck and musta sa lahat

Rich!! Eto sometime april or may alis namin. But we're just going to land then go back to finish our contract sa work. Musta buhay buhay dyan? We'll be landing in calgary which i think during those months eh may lamig pa rin although fall na. We'll stay there for more than 2 weeks and see how the environment sa calgary. I heard vancouver is lovely at during fall.

i'll keep in touch too just too busy with preparations & work at the same time hehe. dami din need to pack, research etc para sulit naman pagpunta namin doon hehe.

Hope to see you guys in person when we permanently settle there.

[pickednotes]

Oo nga pickednotes, nasira ko ang trend na 35 day maximum, ewan ko ba bsta sa delays, ako lagi nangunguna. pero ok narin at least hndi na masydong stressed sa paghhintay, mag-eexit na lang ako and hubby can come over na.

Looks like mag mind set na lang ako sa 90 days para di ako mainip.. Hehe.. God bless on your road to success sa Canada ma'm.  Wishing you all the best!

guyz need help my visa na po kami.. pano po pag mali spelling ng birth of place sa passport? now ko lang notice... ung I naging E sa Passport.. ikinompare ko kc details ng passport ko sa COPR tama ung spelling sa COPR pero mali ung sa Pasport ko nde ko nakita before ko ipass ung passport sa embassy panu kaya ung guys? any idea kung ano pde ko gawin? thank you

[rojamon27]

hi guys! Sa mga nakatanggap na ng visa, nung binalik ba yung documents niyo kasama yung diploma? kasi yung samin wala eh.(pero meron yung mga TOR, cert., etc.) Just curious if that should be left with the embassy 

hi,yung sa akin birthcert,proof pics at excess pictures lang sinoli,yung credentials ko na sa akin ang original kasi di ko naman ipinasa sa CEM yung originals yung mga certified true copies at notarized lang ang ipinasa ko. Di mo dapat ipinasa ang mga originals mo,otherwise kuha ka ulit ng diploma from school mo.

For everybody's information, In Process pa rin yung status ng ECAS ko & ever since there was no update that my medicals was received.. the last sentence of my ecas was still "your application was reviewed & we started processing on...", until such time I finally received my visa today, it's not 100% guarantee na kahit In Process ka pa din doesn't mean CEM are not working on our papers.. they are working on it pala..

Godbless us all 

[jabba_83]
