Hi po.bago lang po ako sa forum nato.

Jan. 19 2015 received cic
March 25 2015 visa ofc manila
Medical received upfont june 4 2014
April 29 2015 passport req.

Anu na pos sunod and ilang weeks or months pa po ba antayin namin...salamat po...

Hi sis bella18,

Base sa mga nabasa ko dito sa forum this time parang bumilis ata ang processing nila.
Some took like 7-9 months nakalipad na sa Canada . Pero nakasalalay parin ang lahat sa straightforward na application , no red flags at satisfied si mabait na visa officer na genuine ang relationship ninyo plus you put everything required in the application when you send it. ( payments and medical)
Siyanga pala , your med expires soon .
Baka mauna pa kayo mg dm sa amin.
# peace..

Think positive sis it helps .

Later on you'll received an email from cem.
Hope it helps.
Hi sis meyoutogether143..
What do you mean baka mauna pa kmi? U mean priority b talaga nila ung mga malapit n mexpire medical?

Good day.. I have a quick question regarding point of Entry.


My destination is Toronto, My Flight will be on May 19, 2015 via Pal. according to my itinerary that my layover time(waiting period is only 1hour and 45 mins. in Vancouver befor emy next flight to Toronto.

Now my questions are

Is vancouver my point of entry.?
(do the immigration, customs and all)

because if vancouver is my point of entry. 1 hour and 45 mins wont be enough for immigration and custome right?

if not. what should i do? should i go out the plane or just wait till we leave again. ( it seems like well be using same plane)


Please enlighten me.. about this. thanks in advance and more power.

madali lang naman sa custom..ganun din sakin dati.....vancouver-edmonton...mabilis lang...just prepare everything and declare evrything para mas mabilis..the longer the less doubt....
and my advice, just look calm and smile....and i suggest dun ka pumili sa white immigrant officer kc pag asian nagpopower trip(based on my experience and observation, kawawa yung 2 kasabay ko, kung ano ano tinanong, yung isa nabulol mali nasagot di binigyan ng permit/worker kc cia)....dami questions hanggang matakot ka na lang...dun sa canadian immigrant officer, kung ano lang yung nasa PR paper yun lng ang tanong...
goodluck and welcome to Canada..

  • Para sa mga visa on hand po and mejo mahaba pa ang validity ng visa. some suggestions lang po since, almost done na ko.

    1. I would suggest attend kau ng COA (Canadian Orientation Abroad), not required po ito pero very informative sila, plus they give free meal. For some, embassy sent them an email with the subject "free pre-departure orientation seminar" again its "FREE". You can set up your schedule thru this link: http://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/K8v5NXi0eSd1lfb562D5

    2. I-ready nyo na din mga documents nyo such as NSO copy of birth certificate, marriage certificate (for married), and or CENOMAR (for not married), Medical Records (vaccines especially for travelling with kids), Dental records (if applicable).

    3. PDOS or GCP: Either of the two po kung saan kayo applicable
    • PDOS - if your sponsor is not yet a Canadian Citizen
    • GCP (Guidance and Counselling Progam) naman if your sponsor is a Canadian Citizen/Naturalized Canadian Citizen
    Better yet check this link to ensure if you qualify sa GCP. http://gcp-appointment.cfo.gov.ph/


    4. As mentioned during the seminar sa COA, kung meron kayong papadalhan dito sa Pinas, they suggested to open a bank account with BPI, affiliated na daw sha sa Scotiabank, they said its cheaper to do fund transfer their than western union and such..

    So far yun pa lng nakalap kong information. Hopefully that helps. Good luck and God bless everyone.

My thought on that is, kung walang change of plane, basically you just wait there on your seat its either they will pick up passengers or for refueling.
So basically you dont go thru immigration and customs, blah blah blah.

But like mine since I will have a connecting flight, I have to go thru all of that. hahaha..Yun din kasi ang explanation samen nung COA seminar. :D
Hope that helps.

Thank you .
