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 :mad: 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!!!!


Hi. Yup. Tama ang hubby mo. Permanent Resident ang status mo pagdating sa Canada, hindi citizen. Kaya hindi ka pwedeng magdaan ng US kasi kahit connecting flight lang ang daan mo dun, hihingan ka ng entry visa for US. So dapat sa ibang country ang connecting flight mo. Kung citizen ang hubby mo, pwede sya dumaan ng US, pero ikaw, hindi. Citizens of Canada (blue passport holders) do not require an entry visa to enter US, but Permanent Residents of Canada do (kasi your citizenship is still Filipino at ang rules ng US sa Philippines or Filipino citizens is non-visa exempt), so you need an entry visa to enter US.

i think she will be able to go thru US kasi connecting flights naman. as long as u dont go out of the immigration pwede wala US visa. o kahit lumabas ka ng immigration nila they will just stamp you with a transit visa for that day alone as long na papakita mo ticket mo na final destination mo canada.
u can verify that by calling some agents.

Sobrang higpit ng US Immigration ngayon. Even nga magcross lang ng border from Canada to US basta hindi citizen ng Canada ang dame mong pagdadaanan. Yep may option na mag-transit visa sya pero ang tanong, handa ba sya sa hassle na maaari nyang harapin sa US? Kelangan pang mag-apply ng transit visa ngayon. Kahit pa connecting lang yan. May hihingin pa sayong mga docs. Lalo na at hindi kabilang ang Pilipinas sa VWP (visa waiver program) ng US. So para mas safe at mas siguradong makakarating sya ng Canada ng walang problema, eh wag na syang pumili ng connecting flight sa US. :)

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

Till now wala pa ding update sa ecas application received pa din :'( :'( :'( :'( I sent my passport nung December 27 pa and they only asked yung personal history ko. Yun lang akala ko since wala ng masyadong hiningi sa akin kasi super complete naman ng app namin and we paid in full upon submission ng app. Eh magiging mabilis at smooth lahat. Madami ng nauna sa akin nagkavisa some are from october and november pa. Sobrang frustrated and depressed na ako... :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

thanks...hope to know you more...
