Aaahhhh.. This is why I just lurk a lot. I just turned my head for a bit, then came a lot of replies (yes I'm just exaggerating LOL):) I'm not a fan of going back a couple of pages. I only read the latest buzz which is the last page. LOL! I shall go back to lurking. :D I will keep you guys posted. I'm from August batch (PPR should only be just around the corner) All the best to everybody!

I'm just trying to show the other side of the story.. Gord didn't present it very well, but I think a lot of us have had similar feelings, at least at one point or the other. Actually, I started a thread in English for the very reasons you stated - and everybody needs to feel comfortable here.
My partner is Filipino but not a 'Tagalog.' He speaks two other dialects, which I get to hear and practice when I'm there, although there is limited resource for learning them. Since neither of us want to live in the Philippines - not even in retirement - that makes no need for me to learn Tagalog. I'm still working away at learning his dialect.
Actually my wife is not Tagalog either. She speaks Bisaya and another local dialect, in addition to Tagalog and English. I learned Tagalog first because I lived in Manila for a couple of years and frankly I just found Tagalog much easier to learn, although my Bisaya is slowly improving. I guess where we differ is that I like to spend a lot of time in the Philippines, and I am very close to my extended family (8 brothers-in-law, a sister-in-law, and 19 nieces and nephews). My wife and I have a house on the beach in Camiguin and we spend a couple of months a year there (in winter of course!).

Yup. I took a snapshot on the details Polgas posted. I did not catch which page of this thread it was but it was dated March 5th. So you can just try ko go back to that date :)

Polgas wrote a detailed instruction on how to use the PO box.

Guys please help, please advise me what to do,... I'm the sponsor of my 4 year old kid, I was in the Phil for almost two months waiting for my daughters ppr, and when i decided to go back to canada feb. 28, i received an email from CEM asking my kid's PPR, tingnan mo nga nmn parang nangaasar lng diba. So now I asked my sister to send the passport right away through LBC, then after sending the passport and appendix a, I got again an email for my daughter's remedial,so ngayon ang problema ko they said (st. lukes) hindi daw nila i process yung medical ng anak ko kasi they need the photo copy of passport nya, ang problema wala kami ni isang photo copy ng passport nya,... So ngayon pending yung medical ng anak ko sa st. Luke we tried to email CEM to give a photo copy of her passport pero walang reply till now, we called them also pero answering machine ang sumasagot... Can anyone please help me what to do??

Ask lang if VISA Canada ba dapat nakalagay dun sa NBI clearance ko? I remember VISA Canada nakalagay dun kay misis when we got hers. She was under the Live-In Caregiver Program. TIA!

T4 2011 instead of T4 2012;

I'm the one did the typing job for my husband forms and at that time he gave me the answer of T4 2011 for Sponsorship Evaluation #3 Net Personal Income for the 12 month period preceding the date of your application. I sent the application kit to him Feb 25, and then he got his T4 2012. But he will send both the copies of T4 2011 & T4 2012. My question is; is it okay that T4 2011 is the one stated on his form?
