Cool! 2-1/2 hrs away if tulad kong mabagal mag-drive lols!!! ;D ;D ;)
;D hanggang 100 kph lang sa hi-way eh, malamang nga 2-1/2 hours away. May dating akong kasamahan sa work na nasa Saskatoon, works at CNH and another one na classmate ko from Kindergarten to Highschool hehe, sa AMEC naman work.

Mas madami bang job opportunities dyan? How about houses, we're looking to buy na kasi kaso napakamahal ng houses dito sa Regina. Dyan ba do you have any idea if mas affordable?

no problem, am gald I could help. I guess malamig dyan talaga sa inyo dahil mas nasa north sya compared to where I am. We're experiencing 30C temperatures here sa Saskatchewan, last Sunday there was hail...grabe ang yelo kasing laki ng chicken nuggets ng McDo LOL ;D

alam mo masasanay ka din sa weather, ako nga nakakapagshorts na sa 18C temperature haha :) anyway, ok ang dating nyo kasi summer, at least may time for the kids na mamasyal and masisimulan talaga nila ang bagong school year.

anyway, regards and update mo kami with anything you want to share :) like jobhunting and such... good luck and God bless!

Same lang prices ng houses,sa good areas ng Stoon mga $300K+. Ang 1 BR condo dito sa malapit sa amin is 130k+.Di ko talaga magustuhan ang Regina,ewan ko ba..feeling ko mabagal ang buhay jan hehehe....siguro nga mas marami job opportunities dito kasi mas malaki ang Stoon compared sa Regina,populationwise. Yeah my husband works there in Regina sa Upgrader. So sa AMEC work ang friend mo....baka kilala nya hubby ko hehehehe. Sa Potash mine rin ba siya work? My husband is a sandblaster. My husband's company gets work in Colonsay,Belle Plaine and Rocanville.

hello!!! to those who already landed,is it ok if i bring cash and bankdraft in US currency ?meron din bang US dollar account ang nova scotia bank na inooffer,since in US dollar ang dala kong bankdraft and cash.or r they going to convert it into canadian dollar kung wala sila dollar acct upon clearing ng bankdraft?


regarding s skul records ng mga kids,latest report card lng b ang requirement for enrolment or klanagn trancript pa?in my case tapos lng ng 2nd yr HS daughter ko.

how about d immunization record,ok lng b certification from pedia or klanagn ung original record pa ang dadalhin?kasi ung pedia ng anak ko wala na, at close n ang clinic.ung baby book nman naanod na nung ondoy :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

thanks!!!1 :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
HI Kate!!

Oo me US dollar accounts ang mga banko dito...(Nove) Scotia bank, TD bank, CIBC,RBC.....you just have to tell them before you open one.

Saan ba balak nyo manirahan? Before my son got here...one of the requirements before immigrating was his immunization records. He was 10 when he got here....they require all school aged kids immunization records,very paranoid sila about health. Ako nga nung bagong dating ako,kahit clear and healthy ang medical ko...pinag-TB test ako. Kasi rampant daw ang TB sa pinas :mad: :(. Btw, ang ginawa ng local health center namin eh,ginawan siya ng updated immunization records from the original. Just ask your doctor about your child's immunization records,I'm sure they can always make you a copy,just make sure it's signed and all doctor's infos are there just in case CIC wants to follow-up. :D :D

In regards sa school records.....sa son ko,di na nila hinanapan ng school report card,bale birth certificate lang ask nila....then ask lang siya what grade siya last sa atin. Disappointed nga ako kasi dala niya lahat ng school papers niya. And suggest ko lang na sa Catholic school mo siya i-enroll....discipline-wise,maganda ang patience ng Catholic school districts dito hehehe. My son is going to be in grade 7 this September 2011-2012 school year,pero me mga pinays akong nakaka-usap na nasa high schools dito na bagong dating....me isa akong kilalal na 1st year college na sa atin pero pinabalik siya sa 3rd year high school (it has been said na 2nd year college/university sa atin is equivalent to high school grad dito). They also said that public high schools got better electives.

Good luck!! hope these helped! :D :D :D
