Is it okay to bring to Canada fake branded bags? Personal use lang ang quantity.
hi sunshine888

To be safe, huwag mo ng dalin kahit for personal use lang ang quantity. Baka iyon pa ang dahilan ng "denied entry" mo e magsisi ka pa. Kapag nagwowork ka na sa Canada, pwede ka na bumili ng original dahil mas malaki na sweldo mo. :D

meldz -- ano bang date na nakalagay sa letter mo? ako june 2 so next week wed or friday try na namin pumunta.. sa baguio naman kami ni hubby. Sa medical exam i think blood tests (wala ata creatinine eh..pag may nakita sila na stones saka sila magcrea.. correct me if im wrong friends ha), the Xray, physical check-up.. un lang sabi nila. pareho tau worried.. parang lalo nga ako magkakasakit eh. haha. meron ako UTI and i really think d parin xa cured so this weekend pa-check ko.

friends, what if may UTI sa exam, papabalikin pa ba after 7 days of treatment? kasi 1st or 2nd week of july im sure meron ako period... july 29 ata ako mag 60 days,, and isa pa, diba ung RFRP after medical? or puwede mauna un? thanks
@ meldz.. As far as i can remember, walang creatinine test.. common blood exams lang like CBC and for HIV. Urinalysis, visual exam, xray and physical exam. Basically, kung ano yung nakalagay lang sa med request, yun lang talaga ang gagawin sayo except kung irerequire/irerefer ka na nila for additional tests pag may nakita pa sayong ibang condition. Don't worry too much.. Sige ka.. Nakakastress yan ;)

@ imbubbles.. Mas maganda na magpacheck up ka na muna for your UTI before you undergo the medical.. Pero under treatment ka naman db? Probably, it will all depend on the result of your recent urinalysis.. Kung cleared ka naman na, i think there wouldn't be a problem at all. Or pwede mo naman tawagan yung DMP na pupuntahan mo to ask about your case.. Tapos po, regarding sa period.. I can relate, kasi dyan ako pinabalik ng Nationwide, gusto kasi nila 7 or 10 days ata after your last day, dun ka lang pa-urinalysis. Tapos pagdating ko dun, 2nd wiwi ko pa ang gusto nila (2nd wiwi means twice ka magwiwi pagdating mismo sa nationwide, yun ang kukunin nila ha).. Eh nagwiwi na ko before I left the house. Kaya wala akong ginawa kundi uminom ng tubig dun para lang clear na clear.. At sa sobrang dami ko na talagang nainom na tubig, halos transparent na talaga yung wiwi ko.. Hehehe. Anyway.. Mas maganda kasi minsan na tawagan mo muna sila to ask about your case kasi ang hirap ng pabalik balik sa DMP.. Kung cleared ka na sa UTI mo this weekend, tuloy mo na yung medicals next week para hindi ka umabot sa period mo ng 1st/2nd week of july db ;) Yun lang naman talaga advise ko.. Napakwento lang ako.. Sabi sayo nakakarelate ako eh. Hehehe ;D

that's so great of you isysy...

i made an affidavit myself...
but i also want you to comment on it...

THE AFFIDAVIT FROM THAT AGENCY (LATER KO NALANG IMEMENTION)... IS TYPED HERE IN THE FORUM WORD FOR WORD...
NOT EDITED... AND FOR PETE'S SAKE!!! IT'S ONLY NOW I NOTICED MALI MALI PA PALA YUNG NAME NA NILAGAY NILA NG EMPLOYER KO...
SO IT'S ALL PIG'S WORK!!! HAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY... (deep breath... :eek:)

i'll PM you my email add...
ll send you all documents i scanned here, so you can have a basis...
pls do help

wait ko please email mo sakin so i'll now where to send.
thank you! sssssssooooooooooooooo much!!!
kyle, here's the review:

note: i-tago natin as alias "MXXXXal" yung hospital mo para di ma google, okay?

Q: what is your contractual date with the MXXXXal city? dates of employment to be specific
Q: does it overlap your work as a private duty nurse?

I now understand that it is the practice of the MXXXXal City to recommend staff nurses as a private nurse to their patients.

Q: do you have an employment contact with the MXXXXal city explicitly indicating that you CAN do private work on their patients? OR if your employee contract did NOT specify anything in this nature (non declaration of this in your contract means that this is not restricted) or is this practice, from a word of mouth lang talaga, from your patient/friend/supervisor na "okay lang yan - ako bahala" ?

Check with MXXXXal city's best person at their HR (for nurses) and inquire if they do have any regulation whatsoever duly written in the employment contract that you've signed when you signed up with MXXXXal city that FORBIDS you to do private duty work for their patients?
Q: did you submit the employment contract to the embassy ba?

If there is... then we have to strengthen your affidavit... if I am a VO, this for me is why it is considered "fraudulent" ...

Here's my theory:

everyone knows that a reputable institution SHOULD protect their rights and forbid employees from engaging into business with their partners/competition/constituent/patients... a.k.a the "non-compete agreement". right guys??? the fraudulent part is that you (at the eyes of the VO) made a breach of contract with the MXXXXal City - with the assumption that they have a non-compete agreement.

Q: Do you remember ever signing this kind of agreement or contract? (call your friends at the MXXXXal city after you read this post)

I don't think this is due to the use of the letter head. I think partially, overlapping of work (if you did) and most importantly "WHY" did you work as private nurse while you were still a staff nurse of the same hospital at the same time. that's not logically legal for them, not even for me... but I am not within any reach of the medical industry, so I don't know about this practice. But so as FES...

Im just being honest with my opinion here coz I am really looking at all the possible angles as to why they've considered this fraudulent - and here is a big possibility. when I first read your post, my reaction talaga was "really??? pwede pala yun? mag sideline ka sa loob pa ng hospital?"

(personal opinion ko to ha) if a job is considered "full-time" wala nang pwedeng "part-time". pwede kang part-time dito and part-time doon, but not full-time+part-time. "FULL" na nga eh, diba?

If you can get hold of the best person in the HR (staff nurse dept) of the MXXXXal City soon and ask them something .... if that manager in your HR was already at that position while you working at the MXXXXal City and with your private duty sideline - baka (sana lang) it would help a lot if you can get a "back-dated" (sorry guys!) :) letter of recommendation from the MXXXXal City to the daughter of your patient indicating that you are recommended to do business with that person for an indefinite period as a private nurse while working at the hospital and that you will be connected to that patient as a private duty nurse and the hospital is not affiliated with that engagement and is free from the responsibilities with the compensation and benefits resulting to that recommended work. If you work as the private duty nurse after the being a staff nurse sa hospital, pwede din... mas straight-forward na recommendation letter.

palabas natin that it is THE HOSPITAL that made you a private nurse for your patient... parang naging 'special case' and approved by a duly authorized person with a recommendation.

actually the hard part here is how to convience the VO that you just have access to this letter. in your affidavit, let's add that you have retrieved this (2yr looking quite dated) letter of recommendation after speaking with the patient who gave it to you just recently. Of course with this tactic... you have to deal with the HR of MXXXXal City and the patient that if ever the VO calls them, they know what to talk about... This is still being truthful, I believe, but the letter of recommendation was just wayyy to late.

Q: let's try that kaya... guys, what do you think?

check mo last paragraph of page#1 from the CIC letter, it does not mention any name of your patient or daughter of the patient it only mentions about the hospital. naging "fraud" yung work mo as a private nurse. When there is a breach of contract, then that activity that you did to breach the contact is considered as "fraud".

quote:

"we have verified that part of your submitted documentation in support of your work experience as private duty nurse is fraudulent, specifically, your contract of employment and employment certifications from the MXXXXal City hospital"

Q: hmmmm... baka talaga may non-compete section doon... check mo kaya?

anyways,let us enhance your affidavit first. then make another version that includes this possibility even if you can't get a letter of recommendation from the MXXXXal City.

if it would help, try calling the major couriers that covers your area, and ask for the number of their delivery office of your locality... there are only a few naman diba?

DHL, Air21 (which covers FedEx), LBC, etc.. im sure kahit na 10 couriers yung tatawagan mo, na hanap mo din yan in an hour or so. use the yellow pages if you have to, or google mo numbers nila.

won't hurt to ask each courier. pa as if lang that the embassy told you that it will be sent via them because you've asked the embassy to.

Noong nagpagawa ako sa Los Angeles Philippine embassy ng NBI clearance, nilagay ko lang for Canadian Immigration Purposes. After two days, nakuha ko na. Malamang sa Philippine embassy sa Canada ay ganoon din kabilis makuha.
