Drunk uncles are complimentary... you can find them everywhere, whereas mine might be an international airline pilot drunk on the finest scotch, his might be a deaf-mute uncle with one good eye drunk on tuba, all are equally intimidating in the wild.

Maybe there are some.. you know there's not the huge Filipino community here that you have in Vancouver.. and most of the people he doesn't feel like hanging out with anyways.. not the same language or from the same social background as him. What would he need for a Filipino celebration? A pig...

i sampled it but am not yet sold .. Too hot and noisy. But I wanted to see what all the fuss was about! I will continue to have Christmas like the Griswolds... Hope moose won't be homesick for the fabulous Christmas he's missing at home!

lol it's TALONG!!! Congrats again Iay. :P

There seemed to be plenty good news in the FB group of Iay, has the Tagalog thread been busy?

Congrats to you and your daughter!

congrats Dan! You can smile again.. It's roll over time!

Well there's no restrictions for her to fly to Hong Kong as she doesn't need a Visa. You could book a ticket on Cebu Pacific and then a separate ticket from Hong Kong to Canada. Hong Kong wouldn't ask for a CFO sticker. I guess the only potential pitfall is that the HK ticket wouldn't be round...

Why don't you call them and ask? If you are on Shaw it's free until the 14th anyways.. hee hee At last resort we all worked out a while back that a spouse could fly to Hong Kong as a 'tourist' and Canada from there, it would skip the whole need for the certificate and sticker.

I think they will return her birth certificate, if you can wait until she has the visa and then take the seminar in Manila it would save you a trip back for the stamp anyways. Unless.. did she take the seminar when she changed her name on her passport?

Is there enough time left there for a government ID card? She will be in Canada for a few months without any ID which will be tough while she waits for a PR card. She won't be able to buy any lotto or liquor for example, or even open a bank account.

It would be a good idea in general for her to order another birth certificate from NSO to bring to Canada with her.

Congrats DaveSav! I just heard from Shaw Cable that calls to the Philippines are free until Nov 14th. The Filipino Channels are also free. Time to Avail!

Yes congrats to all the A's you must be at the top of the list! To Yumeryuu, contact your MP for an update on your file and don't take no for an answer. They can phone the embassy and talk to them personally.

welcome to Canada.. Here's your free lunch! I wonder what that lunch would be..

yes.. Put URGENT in the subject line all caps

Not forwarded for 10 days, that seems really lazy of them. I think that's why you have to get on the DMP's @ss about forwarding your medical after you have a re-med. It pays to keep calling them and asking if they sent it yet! Sounds like you're near the end anyways!

So they were just forwarded on Oct 30.. seems a little late but at least you have confirmation! I think they will release the Visa before December.

Congrats Dan!
