Hi to all,

May question po ako sa mga nakakaalam about sa travel and tours site na cheapoair.com,
kailangan po ba talaga na US Visa holder ka para makapagpabook ng flight bound to Canada?

My husband and I had a huge argument  about this site,kasi he planned to come here and pick me up then i suggest this cheapoair.com site to him to try to book our flight going back to canada together but he said hindi daw pwede kame magpabook ng flight sa site na yun (chepoair.com) kasi lahat daw ng flights dumadaan sa US,kaya hindi ako pwede dahil hindi naman daw ako US Visa holder. So,sabi niya what it make sense to pick me  up kung magkahiwalay naman daw kami ng airplane na sasakyan.kaya i really wanna know how true his statement was , so I could accept his decision and prove that he was really right.. 


PLS I NEED SOME GOOD OPINION ABOUT THIS.

Your response will be highly appreciated..


Thank you so much and God bless us!!!!
 

Canadian citizens (blue passport holders) lang ang pwede magtravel sa US. Kasi visa exempt ang status ng Canada sa US Immigration. Pero kung permanent resident kang papasok ng Canada, ang citizenship mo ay Filipino pa rin at Philippine passport holder ka. Ang rule ng US immigration sa Philippine passport holders ay kelangan ng entry visa kahit pa magcoconnecting flight ka lang sa US going to Canada. So para di ka magkaproblema sa US airport at pabalikin ng Pilipinas, kumuha ka ng connecting flight na hindi nagrerequire ng entry visa sa mga connecting flights (like Hongkong, Japan, China)...

Nakakainip na talaga ang mag antay. Mga forum mates may updates ba? tagal mag approved ng October batch.

im so angry right now, my wife gets the CFO stamp this week but she tells me she not want to come here until June because she wants to celebrate Fiesta in her home province with her family as she sees it will be a few years before she can go back for fiesta but what angers me is that she asked me to make her xmas, new years and her birthday special with her family to spend time together but now she also wants Fiesta in May to be last celebrate with them when we have waited for 3 years for her to be able to come and she wants to wait till June now OMG i don't know what to do, i ask for advice from my fellow forum mates here

hi editsniper. i understand how you feel. waiting for 3 years is not a joke. but on her side, i hope you understand her too. i know she's eager to have that visa and go there to be with you as well. There's this weird feeling we have, as im also the sponsored one, that we are so excited to go there to be with you guys finally after all the waiting but on the back of our minds, we feel sad leaving our families behind knowing that it will be a long time for us to be able to see them again. I suggest you talk to her, tell her that there are things that need to be prioritize. Needs to be done in canada for you to be able to start a family. i guess she will understand. hope this helps.

actually, you can book your flight thru that site kasi may flights naman sila na hinde dadaan ng US, i've done it a few times...may options ka naman at ikaw ang pipili ng segments ng flight mo so just make sure na ang flight na kukunin mo is either manila-hongkong-vancouver, or manila-narita japan-vancouver at may mga iba pa...

hi October batch,

Sorry to hear of those who are still waiting. I know how dragging the wait is. Im just lucky I didnt wait that long. But one thing that gave me a positive sign was when my address didnt appear on Ecas. Maybe you could check ur ecas and find out if there is an address. If wala na, malapit na din yan.

never nagkaroon ng address sa ecas ng asawa ko. so it's hard to tell.
