    Hi Scos, My colleague and I are right then. It will make the processing time longer. He applied in September last year, got the SA by December and he found out just this week that his VISA office just received his application. Too much cost cutting are being done. I think the head of the...

    Anyone applied a Student Permit from Philippines?

    Paul, I would say that chances are slim but you can try. For higher chance of approval, get Masteral (RN) in a University and not college. A one-year program in college won't give you any edge. As for the PR, no, you won't be eligible. It's not easy to get in. Indians, Middle eastern and...

    No, you have to wait for three months to get your OHIP, then your husband can add you to his benefits. I have already asked this to Manulife for my husband. I am not sure what would b the case if you plan to avail the benefits from the US.

    You have to check with your husband's provider and company if they allow spouse to be added. I am also under Manulife and I can add my husband after he gets his Ontario Health Card. If you are in Canada and if you already have OHIP already, he can dd you for additional cost. My husband when he...

    Yes, as long as you can provide support/proofs that you will be coming back after 6 months or after the visit visa expires.

    For tickets, there are promos for first time immigrant. You can avail of this if you buy through an agency. They require a copy of the visa though. We availed of this, forgot the name of the agency lang, but it is in Ermita. Airline was Cathay. If di kayo nagtitipid, go for PAL and Cathay...

    Married a Canadian, but may have issues being sponsored

    Hi, A faster and less complicated way would be for her to get a part time job. Since you are a spouse and you guys have no kids, there won't be any income amount required for her to sponsor you. If your concern is the tax, then a part time job can address that.

    I am gay and my boyfriend is planning to take me to canada to get married.

    To be approved, you need to have enough proofs that you will be back. Documents such as employment record, classes (if you are still in school), family ties, and a bank account that has sufficient funds should be submitted. I don't think 100dollar si enough. If you are working, you should have...
