hi samjean and pixidust!

kumusta??

It's worth all the wait, heto kasama ko na asawa ko and everything went good on my way here....
when you get your visa, magpabook ka nalang sa asawa mo online about your flight, kasi halos ganon din ung presyo pagbumili ka jan.... ganon ginawa ng asawa ko sa expedia.com search nyo nalang, wala ka nang proproblemahin ipaemail mo nalang itinerary mo at print pero make sure pangalan mo at email mo nakalagay.

When i got sa NAIA Terminal II, i went to the information baka kasi my babayaran pang tax so inquire
muna, i paid tax for philippines ng 1,620 pesos then tanong niyo what lane ung sa airline niyo for baggage check-in. I lined up sa lane 46 going to hongkong via philippine airlines. Sa baggage check-in passport at itinerary and tax receipt ang ipapakita tpos ichcheck nila sa computer kung nakabook ka talaga, automatic andon na, then my konting questions about your baggage... After they take your baggages fill up the
immigration form so u can line up and pay na ung immigration fee of 550 pesos then proceed na sa boarding gate niyo.

Sa hongkong mejo nawala ako kasi malaki ung airport... hahaha... buti my mga info booth at signs. Follow
the signs nalang kasi mahirap kausapin mga chinese pero nkakaenglish naman. Depende yan parin sa flight niyo ha, ngconnecting flight ako ng hongkong kasi masmahal ung direct to vancouver. I had to look for the aircanada flight para makuha ko boarding pass ko then i proceeded sa boarding gate. For immigrants ang port of entry usually is Vancouver kasi doon ang signing up for CPR.

Pagdating ko sa Vancouver, line up agad sa immigrations, don talaga ako nawala pati bagahe ko pero nakahabol parin naman ako for domestic flight ng calgary. Sa first line ng immigrations, ipakita lang ang passport and CPR tapos proceed sa immigrations ulit na room, doon na ang maraming tanong kung sino
asawa mo, san siya nakatira, contact number, kung nadeny ka ba noon ng visa tpos papasignan nila ung CPR then tpos na pero ang mistake ko di ko natanong kung pano ung I.D. kaya tanong niyo kung isesend nila ba or kelangan mgapply online... make sure you'll get ur baggage sa tamang counter ha if directly from
philippines flight niyo o galing sa hongkong magkaiba un.. don ako nawala. Kelangan daw kasi ipick up lahat ng baggages sa Vancouver then icheck-in ulit sa domestic flight.

Hope this helps at di kayo mawala kagaya ko... hahaha ;D
.




Hi prayer sword that infos really wil going to help us all here hehe. Im so happy to read it kc first time ko if ever mag fly LoL. Buti naman kasama mo na si papabear mo ang saya ng pix sa fb ha?! Hehe. Pag may visa na kami il read oer this post u made hahaha Baka mawala din ako o baggages ko wag naman sana :'(

guys hi! dito nnaman ako...

We called with my hubby sa CIC yesterday about the permanent resident card and guess what! its all part of the immigration process pala yun. So, pglanding niyo the card will immediately process within 35 days.

Pero problem is, my husband wants me to use his family name na. Hindi pala basta basta ganon lang, maraming gagawin nanaman para mg change name. Yun din ang hindi ko natanong sa immigrations sa Vancouver kung pwede ichange name na nila agad para yung sa card eh surname na ng asawa ko nakalagay... kaya lang andito na ako kaya gamitin ko muna ung name ko then when i get local identification cards reflecting my husband surname then doon nalang ako pwedeng mg change name...hay, another process... yung mga nagapply na gamit ang maiden name jan search niyo nalang sa net at CIC.. be informing you guys kung my masearch ako.

:D God bless

Oh i am sorry to hear Kurt. Medyo nakaka frustrate nga yan. bakit kaya ganun? matagl na masyado yun ah.. alam mo baka di lang masipag mag update ang VO mo kaya ganun. Pero for sure naka in process na yan. Imposible naman na di pa nila inuumpisahan.

Hi, I didn't have a problem changing my name to my husband's name. Everything except my passport and PR card is now under my married name. I just went to my bank and showed my marriage cert, same with my SIN and health card. Pag nagrenew ako ng passport ko it will be under my hubby's name na din.
