Congrats sa nag dm, dalawa lang ata naka sunod sakin.  baka next week kayo na :p

May questions ako sa settlement funds, baka kasi hindi na ako maka attend ng COA.
pag show ba ng settlement funds eh yung nakalagay sa immigration for example sa single 11,000 dollars
or yung nilagay mo na funds na dadalhin mo sa application?

Tapos ok lang ba talaga mag dala ng over 10K na dollars?
Pwede kaya manager's check or bank draft's? Kasi nakaka praning mag dala ng cash.

Thanks a lot.

ok lang magdala ng over 10k basta make sure you declare it...

ang settlement funds ang alam ko basta kung ano yung minimum amount required for your family... basta mag lipstick ka pag baba ng plane para masindak na ang visa officer hahaha! pwede ang manager's check, bank drafts, traveler's check etc. etc.... by the way, 2$ coins daw ang need mo para sa mga carts sa airport so handa ka na din non...

goodluck! tamang tama, summer don ngayon, sarap pa...

hi bonsai,u need 2 bring the amount specified by immigration depending on the  size of ur family.nasa guidelines un.
ok lng n mgdala ng over 10k provided u declare it.
mas mganda mgdala ng bankdraft.may tie up BPI at NOVA scotia.if u purchase ur bankdraft from BPI.10days lng clearing.u may call BPI for the details.here's the nos.8169121/8455679/8131706
accdg to sir qorax,one of the seniors here in the forum ang rule daw is 20-80 rule.20%cash-80%bankdraft


sana kami next week visa n rin !!!!

[sigfrid101]

just a question lang, especially those sa mga nasa canada na..

after we land in canada, how soon can we work? let's say meron na employer prior to going there? kasi may nabasa ako non na parang need pa ng SIN (not sure)..

thanks!

You can easily get your SIN. just bring your COPR & passports. you can get it in 5 mins. kung maaga kang pupunta sa service centers.

Be sure to declare your cash whenever it is greater than 10k USD. General rule of thumb is 30/35/35 for cash, bank draft and traveller's check. This is also discussed on this post regarding settlement funds.
