the good thing about expedia.ca is you pay in CAD dollars,,,,,with one travel you pay in us dollars and pay a exchange rate and sometimes a fee with your plastic,,,,,,but expedia doesn't give you the total at the start like one travel,,,,,,theres always the 15-20% tax and fees you get to see on the next page,,,,,,,,i would say that 25 days out of the month cone travel has the best prices,,,,,other sites might have 1 or 2 day sales to boost occupancy of the flights, that will be lower than cone,,,,but its hard to get them,,,,by the time you type everything in the price goes up,,,,THEN AGAIN PEOPLE IM ALWAYS LOOKING UP PRICES ONLY FOR MANILA TO MONCTON,,,,,,,,,OTHER SITES MIGHT BE BETTER FOR DIFFERENT CITIES,,,,THE COSTLIEST PART OF MY FLIGHT IS TOR-MONCTON OR MONTREAL-MONCTON,,,,OR SHOULD I SAY GETTING TO AND FROM MONCTON IF I TRAVEL THROUGH THE STATES OR CANADA

Yes, you absolutely confirm with them your current/correct address when you land. Just be aware there was one forum member here who ran into difficulty when her husbands I.D. didn't show the same address as her. Hopefully this is rare, but the officer at that point didn't believe they were living together. Just sayin' ...

BTW, I told my wife to call DHL Davao to check if her PP, Visa and COPR has arrived. Unfortunately its still not there, but the folks at DHL did say that CEM just recently sent a visa to Digos, but at that time, it was still in the Davao Office. Any spouses from Digos around here?

Mind you, we cant really tell if its a spousal visa or something else.
