    Mississauga Citizenship Applicants

    My file changed from IP to decision made on Nov. 28, the day after my test. Emailed oath invite came on the November 30 for December 13, 2018. I was selected for PPQ-QAE sometime in early March 2018 and was able to send all the required additional documents before the set deadline. I felt really...

    NON-ROUTINE APPLICANTS

    Got oath invite 3 days after taking the test. Just want to share my timeline again to people who are still waiting. I believe my case is non-routine? I was asked for A LOT of additional docs earlier this year. Documents like travel records to my home country (which was really difficult to get. I...

    November 2017 - Citizenship Applicants

    I took the test at the Mississauga office earlier today. Passed it with 20/20 and the interview was quite standard (took about 10 minutes). The officer said she has no concerns and told me to expect the oath invite 1-2 months from now. Status of ECAS still IP. It was a long wait from IP to test...

    Federal Skilled Workers - To apply or not to?

    I overhear a lot of anti-Chinese/ Asian overt racist comments directed at the Chinese during my stay in Vancouver. Mostly on the skytrain, bus (specially when full), at bus stops, etc. My Japanese friend told me he encountered somebody on the street who told him "F*cking Chinese." (Odd. He's...

    i'm a RN in Philippines, can I apply to write RPN under CNO?

    I hope we would try (?) to compose our messages in English. The forum in general is in English. It would be more considerate of others since we have different nationalities here who might be interested in your response. It doesn't have to be too exclusive. :) Anyway, one of Canada's official...

    PINOY FSW Post July 2011, MANILA Visa Office Applicants Here

    Hi! Share ko lang idea ko about this. Baka rumor lang? Kasi paano naman yung nakapag pass ng passport. Hindi naman pwede patagalin ng CEM na nasa kanila yung passports ng applicants. Nakaka abala kapag ganun. At least ma-stampan/return na nila yung mga PPs na nai-submit kung ipuput on hold nila...

    DO NOT COME TO CANADA (Part II)

    With that kind of attitude and views I doubt you'll find a place suitable for you. I read in your earlier post you referred to your home country as a "hell hole". You didn't like it there, you don't like Canada. Where do you want to go? Where do you suppose you will meet success? If you were...

    Foreign Educated Nurses

    Hi! Are there internationally educated nurses here who have successfully obtained a license to practice in any of these provinces; BC, Alberta or Ontario without undergoing SEC or further studies (re-entry or bridging whatever you call it)? I'm referring to taking the CRNE straight without...

    Saka yun pala. Share ko na din. I find it amusing that weed is on the semi-legal side here in Vancouver. I don't know if it applies to the whole of BC. You can find medicinal marijuana dispensaries here. A doctor can provide you a prescription legally. Kulit no? Saka madaming movies at TV shows...

    MANILA V.O. ~~ done with MEDICALS and waiting for PPR (passport request)

    Hi, dentista! Share ko lang, medyo similar tayo ng plans although I'm not a dentist (an RN). Kung irerequire pa ako ng regulatory body ng nurses sa BC na mag extra schooling I might consider relegating to LPN muna. Kasi kung mag-aaral lang din shorter ang duration ng LPN plus I get a diploma...

    MANILA V.O. ~~ done with MEDICALS and waiting for PPR (passport request)

    Hello, sanrio girl. Thanks! As to the currency, we'll have to bring in CAD since the POF for the application is in Canadian. I am not certain if US currency will be accepted at the port of entry and I suppose you'll have to bring in a larger amount since hindi sila equal ng value? The speaker...
