Yes!!! Low fares parati, yung nga lang most of the Delta flights (formerly NorthWest) go via US airports enroute to Canada - so you will need a US transit visa. :( - this is the main drawback with Delta flights.

Mahal yan Rak. Maybe that is PAL/AC itinerary. I also got that quote sometime last month. You can get it at around USD 760. Maybe less if you get a promo rate. Try St. Raphael Travel in Greenhills. So far they have the lowest rates I know.

thanks carl zeiss!

i tried visiting st. raphael travel website, ang laki ng difference ng price nila compare sa online booking sa orbitz,expedia,cheapoair, etc...mas mura sa st. raphael travel...kaya lang parang nakakakaba..hehehe/...naka-experience na ba kayo bumili sa kanila ng ticket?
 
tinignan ko din ang website nila... ang mura in fairnesssss...
so pag sinabing first time immigrant fare manila-vancouver-winnipeg via cathay pacific $564/pax + $215 na all in tax Phil. travel tax..total = $765 per pax.

hindi na rin pala nalalayo sa rate na ibinigay sa akin ng isang travel agency na napagtanungan ko.
eto quote nya PAL/air canada
ADULT FARE/CHILD FARE
AIRFARE: USD 455
TAXES: USD 303
SERVICE FEE USD 35
==================
TOTAL: USD 793/person

di na pwede i-apply ang child rate kasi discounted na ito.

Hi Rak. I have no experience with St. Raphael but some forum members got their tickets from them. So far I think they are okay. However, I am still waiting for a lower rate (promo) from another travel agency. Without the promo, St. Raphael is still the lowest.

Hi,

See here : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/intro.asp

Who needs a police certificate?

In general, you and everyone in your family who is 18 years of age or over need to obtain a police certificate. You must obtain a police certificate from each country or territory where you have lived for six consecutive months or longer since reaching the age of 18.


Procedures for getting a police certificate are listed here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/index.asp

Just the same - wait for the instructions from CEM if they do require PCCs from you.
