hi everyone magtatanong lang ako i sponsor ko yung husband ko pero nasa saudi sya possible ba na sa manila embassy i process yung papers nya? thank you

Hi,

It's okay bec. you will choose which embassy you want your sponsorship to be process. I sponsored my wife and put Canadian Embassy in Manila to process the papers while she's still working in Saudi Arabia and she just went home when the CEM requested her passport. Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Kulilit ;D ;D ;D

Hi sa inyo lahat, matagal na akong member dito kaso nagbabasa lang ako at ngayon di ko mapigilan ang ma i share din sa inyo experience ng asawa ko jan sa CFO na yan, meron di nasagot na isang question asawa ko w/c is kelan ako naging canadian citizen, so ang nasabi ng asawa ko month and year lang, ang sabi sa kanya anu yung exact date as in yung day..di nasagot ng wife ko at umiiling daw yung nag iinterview na tumatawa ng pang asar at sarcastic talaga, sa bwiset ng wife ko sinabihan nya yung nag interview ng "bakit ka pailing iling jan eh sa hindi ko alam kung kelan ang exact date na naging canadian ang asawa ko anu magagawa mo" w/c is right naman talaga kasi di ko talaga matandaan ang exact date, kahit sa form wala din day ang sagot ko at nilagyan ko na lng ng explanation kung bakit,mabuti naman at di binalik ang application namin at approved ako as sponsor...kaya ayun daw di naka kibo yung nag iinterview, sabi ng ng wife ko nainis daw cya talaga. sabi ko na lng sana di na nya pinatulan at naiinggit lang yun..hehe!

i think they're right. madami ka pa naman kasing oras if ever eh. san ba destination mo sa canada?

yup nabasa ko nga din yung benefits ni baby:

1. Universal Child Care Benefit - The UCCB is for children under the age of 6 years and is paid in instalments of $100 per month per child.

2. Canada Child Tax Benefit - The Canada Child Tax Benefit is a tax-free monthly payment made to eligible families to help them with the cost of raising children under age 18.

For these 2 benefits, kelangan kasama nyo si baby sa Canada, else di nyo makukuha yan benefit na yan. Besides, mas madami sya other privileges pag dun mo na sya pinanganak at Canadian citizen na sya.

And yes pwede naman sya iuwi dito after ilang months nya dun, kung kaya nyo ng mawalay sakanya. For as long as may Canadian PP na sya.
