    Going to visit girlfriend in Philippines, what is next best step?

    Sorry, was not near a computer the last few days. I'll tell her that too heh. One week from today and I'm off. She saw a ring she likes (I'm in trouble hehe). I'm well past excited now, but that's also a lot of travel to get there and back, I'll be a zombie for days when I return heh. If...

    Going to visit girlfriend in Philippines, what is next best step?

    We have known each other for about a year now, the whole time we've been devoted to only each other despite the distance, we talk on webcams every chance we get (ie, when she's not working). I'm not worried about her coming after me for money. If you've declared bankruptcy in the past will...

    Going to visit girlfriend in Philippines, what is next best step?

    My ex is trying to tell me that her friend works at immigrating filipino workers and they have an immigration lawyer on payroll too, and they said I would never get anyone here from there, and it's impossible and good luck with that, hope you like wasting your time, then they had a good laugh...

    Going to visit girlfriend in Philippines, what is next best step?

    I can't wait to get on the plane and go, but I still have to wait 2.5 weeks. It's killing me. So, what should I be packing? If I only have sandals with me, is that good enough for footwear? I kind of wish I was getting married on this trip, I really want to get the process started.

    Going to visit girlfriend in Philippines, what is next best step?

    ya I have, and I know phils isn't that bad:) Trust me I've been to bad places, not too worried. I just don't have a visa at the moment (long story), so that's good about the bank cards, prevents me from having to carry millions in cash :P

    Going to visit girlfriend in Philippines, what is next best step?

    Is there anything to lose by trying a tourist visa? I can't believe how indecisive I am about this, I was very decisive as a soldier, but this is different haha. She has a job as a nurse there, but no owned property, but has family roots etc, I'm not sure how much criteria she would require to...

    Going to visit girlfriend in Philippines, what is next best step?

    Aren't tourist visas almost impossible to get? I know the processing time isn't that bad right now for those, but the chances of getting one? Canadian immigration changed some laws on that too. I should ask an immigration lawyer a few questions soon I suppose too, to choose the best route...

    @affable Thanks so much! After being through what I did here in Canada, and after hanging out with some filipina friends, wow what a difference. I like the conservatism, and the old fashioned values, and the big hearts! It's easy to see why men aren't looking in their own backyards for...
