Hi everyone,

I have a few concerns that i would like some of your opinions. We had our medicals complete with vaccine last April 7, 2015 (3rd line April 23, 2015). We plan to fly after a month of Visa issuance. We are ready to depart anytime. We are now waiting for PPR. My concern is the enrollment of my daughter for Grade 2. We are planning not to enroll her anymore as we are concerned with the delay in refund and only around 90% refund only, do you guys think this is a good move? Please let me know your thoughts.
If I were you I will just enroll first my child. It doesn't matter wether your visa arrives in thestart or middle of school year. It will help the child continue his learning. Mahirap mabakaante the suddenly ipapasok mo agad sa school sa Canada. If the tuition that you will loose is not much, I think ok lng to continue, 90% refund is still high. ako kahit 50% refund ok na. This is only may opinion.

Hi kimchilover! Salamat sa masipag na pagsagot sa mga tanong ko. Iba-iba din trend sa SGVO, may mga matatagal din ang processing. Unpredictable nga daw ang VO na yun. But hopefully, eh mabilis nga yung sa amin. Thanks ulit! ;D

kimchilover said:
Yes, AOR. SGVO will process your application. Mas mabilis ata sila compared sa MVO. Baka mas mauna ka pa sakin matapos.

Dear All,

I got a call from the embassy asking for my husband's unemployment reasons and changes in employment.
She told me to wait for the next 2 weeks for the embassy's correspondence regarding MR and forms to fill out to reflect the changes in employment. Got so Ecstatic hearing this!

Anyone of you who had the same experience -- filling out the new form for changes in employment? What are the documents that you presented to support unemployment claim?

Thanks

Hello Guys kamusta na kayo?

Hope there are positive updates sa mga applications ninyo :)

Anyway I just want to share that I booked our flight today.
Thank you sa nagrefer ng St. Raphael Travel & Tours. Laking help po yun sobra ;D
I got our tickets for Toronto at about 30k each lang mga 60500 php for the both of us.
Sabi naman nila all-in fee na yun at bayad na yung hassle na terminal fee at travel tax :)
May discount daw kasi ang first time immigrant :)

Best of luck to all of us :)
Have a great day!

Hello Dragonphoenix,

I think depende sa araw na mgpapamedical ka. may nabasa ako na madami daw tao pag mon and fri. In my case, tues ako ngpunta and before 7am andun na ako. ok nman ang medicals, very smooth and organize yong process. around 1030am tapos na ako. need bumalik ng 2pm for the results ng medical exam. kung ok results diretso mmr ka na. halos mag 4pm nung matapos lahat. konti lang tao nung ngpunta ako. In terms of service, oks naman, satisfied naman ako.
Hi toinks,

Salamat sa pag-share. Hoping that everything will turn out good and smooth for my MR.

gandang hapon mga ka-forum! sa ST Raphael din po ako, pero cathay pacific and nakuha ko. July kasi namin gusto magland para abutan namin ang summer.. $835/head na nakuha namin.

mas mura nga sana ang Eva Air kaso ung july 22 na binigay samin 11hrs lay-over sa Taipe..

it's nice to know na madami tayo st. raphael, mas napanatag loob namin.

See u all in Canada! BTW, edmonton bound kami...sana meron din kami makikilala na kaforum bound to edmonton
