Goodluck to your pdos and update unya dire. Going to shop for pasalubong for my sons. Shirts for my 14 year old and naruto for my 7 year old. Hehehe

hahaha rene! mga inahan jud ta! pasalubong jud dayon sa mga chikiting ang priority. pero dili jud kabayran ilang kalipay inig dawat na sa ilang pasalubong noh?

sooooo, share ko about PDOS ha. naka lugar man ko ron dukdok sa keyboard kay wala man mi magdala mga chikiting sa cebu, walay mangilog ug dukdok. :P :P :P 2moro p mi uli puhon sa bohol. ;) ;) ;)

ug padung gani mo mag PDOS, mas maau sayo mo adto sa CFO office (8am), that's if you want to have it here in cebu. ilang office naa ra tapad sa DFA. unya para dili na mo malangan ug fill-up sa forms, pag fill-up daan, good for each member of the family nga molarga as emigrants. you can download d forms frm their website. prepare ug 1 picture passport size or 2x2 for each family member den paste it sa form.

although the orientation will start at 10am, dungan tanan, but d advantage kung una mo maka submit sa forms, una sad mo hatagan sa inyo passport after the PDOS. medyo gutom na baya inig human kay humanon man jud nila by noon time ang orientation. ganina, past 12 na man mi human, pero naka una mi lakaw kay ika-3 man mi nga nag submit sa amo forms.

if ever naa mo questions about sa form on how to fill it up, pls ask me lng kay i'll try 2 answer. nalingaw gani ko nako kay wala man ko ka-ask ug asa dapit sa visa ang visa number kay pagtan-aw nako dghan man number uy hahaha :P :P :P unya diay to, kana diay naa sa right side nga under sa document number ang visa number. pastilan ang ako g-suwat kay kana man intawng number sa pinaka kilid jud, dili man diay na mao hahahaha!!!!!

I'm a newbie here, medyo ignoy pa ayo sa forum. 2005 pako nag apply....waited soooo long to received correspondence from the embassy, until last year. Updates, Medical are all done, passport requested and sent last Oct. 22, 2010....until now la pa gyapon naabot among passport.....hopefully gyud maka dawat nami next week...hibong lang ko y dugay pud ni balik amo pp, saw some earlier post, ilaha after a month after submitting ni balik naman sa ila ang ilang pp? tungod ba ni kay ni belong ko sa old system? mao ni dugay pud pag uli sa among pp? planning to go to canada end of july, since our visa will expire on mid-August of 2011 ( as stated on the emailed letter CEM sent to me). BTW, can somebody help me kung unsaon pag post sa akong timeline sa left side of the screen? thanks :)

why not send an e-mail to the embassy and follow-up... also, you can try to call DHL basin naa ra diay didto.

i don't think that is a problem...ang ila lang gina disapprove ay kadto lang maka disable and contagious and incurable nga sakit...anyway, taga asa man ka? i suggest kung mag medical namo pohon, adto mo sa cebu doc ky dili daghan kuti ug dali pa kaau mo send sa result sa embassy, kasagaran nga didto sa ila 2 weeks after naa na dayon ppr..

by the way, welcome to the group ;D

Hi isysy, ako na ghimo ang 2 ka suggestion nimo, nag email nako sa ila 2 days ago, wa reply, then I also called up DHL, wla pud pending pouch from CEM lately.....guess I have to be more patient and continue praying :)
 
jazz,

welcome to the group :)

dili ko expert about sa imo case...but ask lang ko nimo, unsa d i imo NOC? nahaapil ba ghapon na sa 29 karon? if so, wala pa ba ma close ang cap ana? kung na close na, wait pa ka unyang july 1st ds year to apply but wala pod ta kabalo ug mag change napod cla sa ila list of prof n skills..

sa akong huna2, kung in process nka ds time, mas maau na lang nga imo na lang jud ng hulaton ky kung mo withdraw ka pwede man pero mas daghan kag hunahunaon, like new english exam result, then wala na kay refund ( not so sure about this, ky dili kaau specific ang cic ani) ingon man gud nga once na process na, wala nay refund, so addl financial burden, then back to zero napod imo application instead nga medical request na lang imo hulaton though, dugay jud sa karaan nga rule...pero 4 years na nimong hinulat so, cguro padayoni na lang jud...better safe than sorry :(

kung mo withdraw ka, wala ta kabalo unsa pod kadali na nga process? basin ug equal pod ug 1 year, which i believe mao na lang kulang sa imo waiting time, d ba? i guess, sa inyo 2nd AOR, nakasulat nga your waiting period is 5 years? am i right?

BUT imo ghapon ang desisyon :)

hi jeanypunk! :D pila ang airfare rate sa imo napa book? asa ka plano mo-land? :D

we've been planning to land in toronto by june but just today we finally decided to leave on May 21. twist of events hehehe... anyways, nagpa quote mi for toronto, cathay pacific, tag $850 ang adult den $820 ang sa mga chikiting. nagkuha na sad mi certificate of reduced travel tax sa mga chikiting from the Phil. Tourism Authority which gave us a 50% off.

i'll throw this question to everybody.... naa moy nahibaw-an nga travel agency which can give a lesser airfare rate? ::) ::) ::) thanks.... ;) ;) ;)

Hi peanuts, nagpa book ko sa Grand Holidays dri sa cebu... cebu-hkg-vancouver mga USD665 (all-in) per person for 2nd week of july na flight, plan unta namo kay sa month end pa, but the rate mu differ na ug USD100 per person, sayang pud. then peak season napud daw ang july. U can try calling them peanuts, look for christine, maybe she can give u good rate kay dli mana peak ang May :). Everything is not finalize yet, kay kinanglan nila ako pp and visa ....
