    Manila V.O. - Waiting for the Passport with the Visa

    If you want convenience, less stress and hassle (both on the ground at the airport/Terminal 2 -- 'cause Terminal 2 is better than Terminal 1 in almost all aspects -- and on air, as long as hindi sya late lol), and no unnecessary layovers, PAL po even if it might cost more. =) Choose lang...

    Manila V.O. - Waiting for the Passport with the Visa

    Hi, As far as I can remember, if I wrote anything at the back of it, it would be my name, mobile num, application category, and birthdate (using a pen). I then put it in a regular envelope and wrote my name and immigration file number at its upper left hand corner. Tapos, ni drop-box ko lang...

    Hi, If your visa will expire in the next 3-4 months, I think pa-book/reserve na po kayo. For peace of mind. Daming uma-alis pala going to Canada. And pag mas maaga kasi nag-reserve relative to departure date selected, mas mura yung fare. Tama si mommyquinz, you don't need to pay outright...

    Meron na rin sila air cargo acdg to their website. Pero if via ship, standard number of days I think. Yung around 1 month or so. I guess pwede na lalo na if door to door and they take care of customs clearance and other paperwork. hehe. badtzmaru/HelloKitty_Catnip

    @rslcanada Lol! Nice tip re the greenhills coats! =) Thanks rin sa reply re tying the bbox. Yup, cargo forwarder po gamitin ko (mas mabilis lang i-type "mover" kasi.. haha). I checked yung ni-post dito sa thread about Big C cargo. Sya pa lang nache-check ko. According to information from...

    Thanks rslcanada! Yan din po naisip kong dilemma ko when I started packing some of my clothing. Lol! Ginawin kasi ako so I really need to bring pa rin a few at least of those lighter warm clothing you mentioned. So I'll just bring light coat/sweater/s na muna on check in and for whatever...

    Thanks Rene_8000! Nafi-feel ko na yung ginaw/lamig! Argh! lol. Am arriving in September (Vancouver). Would be rainy and cold I guess. Hopefully I won't be dehydrated on landing. I always get dehydrated after a long flight na parang may trangkaso, and feel sluggish. Not just jet lag...

    Hello, Question lang po re packing a balikbayan box for freight forwarding... Did you have to do some tying of the box after you've sealed it with tape? Or will the movers do that themselves? Would appreciate helpful responses. TIA. badtzmaru/HelloKitty_Catnip

    @faithfully_hopeful "Reservation waitlisted" sounds like puno na reservations sa airline you chose and it's only when a booking is freed up (meaning the one who reserved it hasn't paid for it in time/cancelled the booking) before they will reserve a seat/ticket for you. I agree with gade23...

    Thanks for the info on bringing and capping our cash declaration at less than 10k to avoid additional paperwork Rene_8000. Cash lang pala would be enough to declare, no need na pala to tell them about the non-cash instruments (unless I'm prompted, just to fulfill the settlement fund req't)...
