Hindi pa po. Saan po ba pwede malaman kung sino MP natin? Hamilton, Ontario po ako.
Almost mag kakalapit yung timeline natin... Nag email na kami sa MP namin... eh useless yung information na binigay sa amin... sabi ba naman eh... within processing time pa daw yung papers namin.. at pag hindi pa nag respond ang CEM by January 2012..... Sumulat daw kami ulit...

Sa inis ko... nag reply ako sa email na MP.. sabi ko kung pwedeng tulungan kaming mag inquire sa CEM kung anung status ng application namin since lahat ng kasabayang batch ko in February eh naka received na ng VISA at yung iba naka land na.. Kami na lang wala.... there is a reason behind bakit matagal yung application namin.. at iyon ang gusto naming malaman sa CEM.. Baka may na miss kaming letter na di namin natanggap or anu man... Nine(9) days ago pa ako ng reply sa MP until now wala pa ring reply...

Mariposa thanks so much!!!

by the way guys nagtatanggal ako ng clutter dito bahay and i remember one member natin said na may first time immigrant benefit tayo sa bank dun sa canada, nakita ko yung flyer na binigay ng canadian embassy nung kumuha ko tourist visa last year about scotia bankl ngayon ko lang sya nabasa hehe. so yes guys meron tayong what they called StartRight Program designed for newcomers like immigrants. eto yung package na inooffer satin:

-Build your credit history with a No-fee Scotia Moneyback Visa Card
-Enjoy a chequing account with free day to day banking for one year
-secure your valuables with a free small Safety deposit box.

Hope this will help!
@ spouse87

yap avail kayo nito sa scotia, you can open a savings and checquing account kahit walang deposit.. and there is no monthly fee for 1 year then may visa card ka na 1000 cad ang credit limit... pag nag deposit kayo you cannot withdraw money from the savings account if you want to use your money from the savings account i transfer mo muna sya sa chequing.. sa ibang bank kasi my monthly fees if di mo na maintain ang minimum balance ang pinaka lowest na monthly fee is 3.75 cad..

hi guys! hows everyone?!

ask ko lang po di ba pwede na tayo kumuha aga SIN after landing sa canada? pano po mag apply ng health card? sabay na po ba yun sa SIN? and san po kumukuha nun?
@ spose87

HI..
yah you can apply SIN right away basta bring your immigration paper and passport..
sa totoo lang after landing you cannot apply agad ng health card unless meron ka nang at least 3 documents from each checklist which is PROOF OF IDENTITY ( PASSPORT), PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP ( IMMIGRATION PAPERS) AND PROOF OF RESIDENCY..and my specific documents lang silang tinatanngap.. like sa proof of residency mailed bank statement, rental agreement, mailed telephone bills.. etc... saan ba destination mo???

ontario kasi ako so yun ang nagyari sa akin dito.. hope it helps!!!

Hi! wla nmang issue..ewan ko nga ba bat kumuha sya ng representative....sobrang depress na nga yung feeling ko...lhat ng nababasa ko dto less than 10 months may visa na feeling ko tuloy ako nlng wla pa....

hello,

I dont think, representative ang may problema..I guess its your VO na may hawak ng application mo kaya rin tumatagal ang process, in my case may representative din kami pero 4 and half months lang DM na ko..tho, my contribution din ang rep nyo like 2-3 weeks late mo matatanggap compared to others na walang rep yung letter from CEM then nasa pinas ka pa..tsaka dapat pina-follow up din ng husband mo sa rep nyo sa umpisa palang na sinend nyo yung application nyo dated october 2010..prang nagtagal pa ng 3 mos sakanila, nirereview pa kasi nila yun bago nila isend pra siguradong walang flaws sa app nyo para sigurado rin for approval, pero dahil kulang sa follow-up kaya d nila ni-rush agad yun ang sa tingin ko..yung rep namin 1 month lang nila nireview kasi lagi ko sila pina-follow up, wala ako pakialam kahit makulitan sila..hehe, kaya nga sila binabayaran eh..what the point kung d mo gagawin yung part mo na kulitin sila..pero mostly tlga, depende parin sa VO mo..sa tingin mo ba meron kayong background or something na related sa relationship nyo? kasi pde rin iyon ang dahilan kung bakit tumatagal..

Yup ganyan ginagamit ng halos lahat ng umalis na immigrants sa family namin.
You still have to buy the balikbayan box kasi bag lang yan mabibili mo.

Ang size po nyan is 20x20x20 and designed talaga para sa typical balikbayan box size.
Nagkaron na kasi ng incident before yung husband ko na box lang ginamit tapos tinalian lang ng cord,
pinabuksan pa sa customs.

Sa SM Kultura kami nakabili.
Meron din daw sa Rustan's.

May zipper din po yan na industrial grade, pwede din lagyan ng lock.

Parang may na pansin ako. Based on the recent posts, yong may representative, hindi naman napabilis yong application. Yong first attempt namin dati, nag hire kami ng rep tapos di nya sinubmit kaagad sa cic. Ang police clearance ko nag expire na. Ang hirap pa naman kumuha ng police clearance.

The second time around, binasa ko nalang sa cic web ang lahat na kelangan gawin. Di na kami nag hire ng rep. Eh yon... wala naman masyadong problema although may na miss out kami na doc. like AOM, at late payment of rprf... Things still worked out accordingly.

So siguro... it's better na hwag nalang mag hire ng rep... masesave pa yong pera pambayad. Minsan din kasi di naman ginagawa ng rep ang lahat na communications. Di sila nakakarelate sa feelings ng nag hihintay kasi hindi naman sila ang applicant.

Para sa mga kapatid na magaaply pa lang, better do the application yourself. You can ask questions here and you will be guided.

But this is just my opinion... Don't know if someone thinks the same way too. :'( ??? ;D

Hi sis! may point ka din, kasi di na nga another expenses tlga pag may representative and forums like this really helped, kaya lang in my case too late na ng madiscover ko tong forum na to. Mahirap kasi kung di kumpleto knowledge mo sa pag aapply. Kya we hired a representative. Swerte naman kami sa representative namin kasi she is really working hard for us, action agad tlga rep. namin. Kaya wla na kaming worries. She deal with her clients well. SO sa tingin ko lang depende din tlga sa mga representative na makukuha natin. Meron swerte meron din namang mga manloloko. Ksi na experience ko na when i was still in Canada, I hired a so called lawyer as my representative, FILIPINO pa naman and meron tlga syang consultancy agency kaya i trusted him pero in the end niloko nya lang ako. That time i was working on my papers on getting a work permit while in Canada. I paid $1500, akala ko naka submit na papers ko after a long wait nalaman ko hindi pala and the more sad thing was nung mag follow up uli ako lumipat na sila ng office. Kya ingat din sa pagkuha ng representative.
