[mmkk]

baka april pa kami kasi nsa kinder eldest nmn wait ko pa graduation nya..but at least the waiting is over medyo at ease na ang feeling.

hello pinoynurse,

good to hear na you're on your way to SK. I'm sure you'll be happy and successful there with your asawa. I guess being homesick is part of the luggage we're all going to bring hehehe.

ano po ba narinig mo from your asawa regarding SK? about saskatoon? planning to go there too kasi and hope to get as much information about the city as I am torn between it and Calgary.

thanks po...

Meron din sia mga comment about other cities of SK, but he said....best city daw sa SK yung saskatoon (I dont know if he just wanted to promote his city to make me feel excited, hehe..) I told him, I want to live & stay in Vancouver kasi yun lang familiar sa akin & most of my friends/cousins are there. Sabi nya, sobrang taas ng cost of living dun for the salary earned Okay naman daw ang Saskatoon, lalo na sa city mismo and hindi masyado magastos compared sa other cities ng Canada Makaka-save daw Besides, halos pare-pareho naman daw ang salary rates ng big cities ng Canada and Saskatoon. So, I think okay naman ang Saskatoon kasi di pa masyadong populated, wala daw syadong discrimination and maganda daw ang place to build and raise a family (QUOTED FROM MY HUSBAND, lang)

thank you po ma'am. oo nga, kaya nga parang gusto ko ang Saskatoon (kahit di ko pa masyadong kilala) dahil booming ang place and di pa masyadong populated and di mataas ang cost of living.

regarding vancouver, ganun din narinig ko - mataas ang cost of living and mahirap makakuha ng trabaho. ang kinaganda dun is ang weather heheheh.

thanks again and good luck sa ating lahat. hope to hear more stories about Saskatoon...

hi nurse_angel! feel ko sagutin queries mo kahit di sakin naka address, for sure jandox wouldn't mind, ka txt ko lng sya kanina.

anyways, need ung pdos even for migrants. this is being conducted by CFO (commission on filipino overseas). wag mo na ask ang consultant mo, "it's a must to attend" kase hahanapin ng immigration sa airport ung sticker ng cfo. pag wala, di ka makakaalis. if you're here in manila, the office is located at citigold center along pres. quirino corner osmena (slex).

about the ticket, parehas kami ni jandox nakakuha ng promo for 1st time immigrant sa pal. $730 including travel tax sa always travel, ung kay jandox sa cic travel naman nya nakuha at $725 excluding travel tax sabi nya...

@jandox, konti na lng sasabihin mo pag nagreply ka, hahaha... ;D

 

[mmkk]

@ ellian25,

really kailngan pba magpdos for immigrants. pr visa kami and hopefully be leaving on april.ask ko din po contact details ng always..is it all ways?kasi hindi p pla ksma tax sa cic..thanks in advance.

...medyo confusing nga kung san kuha ng ticket kasi sudnuin din kmi ng hubby ko dito so mas mura dw pag nag roundtrip siya kaso ung samen regular fare n if dun niya bibilhin. any suggestion? i am travelling with hin back to regina, 4 year old kid and below 2 years old considered as infant.

thanks again

hi mmkk!

mali spelling ko, all ways nga un. yes, kailangan pa rin mag pdos kahit immigrant. actually, immigrant visa din kami lahat. i also have 2 kids, 7 & 6 yo. ung 2 yrs old mo is no longer considered infant, full fee na yan sa terminal fee, ung travel tax naman pd ka mag apply ng reduced tax rate. half ung discount, mag apply din ako sa DOT one of these days. sayang din kase, parati naman ako nagpupunta sa kalaw.

ung husband mo 1st time immigrant din? i mean, sa pagkakaalam ko kase pag na receive mo residency status and nasa canada kn, u have to exit then go back. ganun kase ginawa ng cousin ni hubby. anyways, if ganun case nyo, then u can all avail for 1st time immigrant rate. check mo sa all ways if meron promo para mas maka mura ka. kelan target date nyo?

eto # ng all ways 5228633, u may look for twinkle. very accomodating sya...

saskatoon ka nalang angel nurse din ako...para marami nako makasama pasyal pasyal....sabi ng asawa ko, sobrang magastos ang calgary o ontario/toronto...di ka makasave masyado...pag gusto mo madaming buildings matataas at busy life....calgary/ontario ka...pero pag gusto mo, tahimik, malinis, at parang nag babakasyon ka lang, saskatoon kana (hehehe, nag propromote lang ako, para madami makakasama dun hehehhe...pero totoo naman kaya )...tapos, pag gusto mo bigtym shopping and gumastos ng pera mo...4 hours drive to edmonton daw, biggest shopping mall daw sa western canada....then uwi ka saskatoon, mag trabaho at mag save kasi mas mura standard of living doon....hehehe (talagang nag convince, hehehe)

sabi pa ng father in law ko, hundreds of nurses are retiring now in saskatoon, this year...much more next year...kaya, once makapasa tayo ng crne at qualified tayo...madali nalang kahanap work hehehe

 

[pinaynurse1]

Ey guys....for those waiting for visa and all...yung mga documents nasa Manila Visa Office na, kanina tumawag yung lawyer namin sa kakilala nya na staff sa Canadian embassy sa manila, sabi sa kanya....grabe ang backlog nila, as in sobrang daming applicants...kaya konting tiis nalang daw Sabi, if you pile up the documents, from floor to ceiling daw hehehe... kaya???? patience is a virtue talaga this time

 

[jangong]
