Hey Tagum, did the embassy email you guys that the visa and copr was sent or did it just arrive out of the blue at your wife's place?

Hi Isisgirl, I spoke with my former BSO (Border Services Officer) colleagues. I left that job back in 2007 when I started working for my current job, but I still keep in touch with my former colleagues. I just dont want you to get in trouble when you cross the border nor face any unnecessary...

Hi Isisgirl, here are excerpts from my notes while working as BSO: ENF 1 Inadmissibility The residency obligation in the Act is based on a period of physical presence in Canada with provisions for prolonged absences from Canada (three years out of every five year period for any reason). In...

Generally Sept-Oct is low season

I just ordered my notes last week (6 weeks after I got my PPR). Lol, I didnt know how to order it at first. It does take a few weeks to get though?

does she have to show the ticket bookings though?

Marcjd I was wondering if you could give us a recap of the procedures, etc. My wife's medical will expire this Dec. Depending when her visa gets issued she might end up paying CEM a visit.

Marcjd, how's your wife's visit to CEM? Hopefully they didn't give her a hard time?

Its the date you landed, the date stamped in the passport.

My apologies, I forgot to mention residency requirements in my last post. Both residency and PR Card expiry date are factored in for admissability, and enforced just as strictly.

Hi superman maraming govt programs dito for immigrants to gain Canadian experience. I suggest punta sa HRSDC pagdating mo dito para makakuha ng info. Meron din NGOs at provincial programs available.

"tomorrow" is a movable date, lol (palipat-lipat ang bukas namin)

Yeah me too. Will have some whenever I get the chance to go to the bush

Cool! Hopefully It won't be that long from this point on.

Haven't seen your timelines. How far are you in the pipeline gooner?

There was one further west along Carling before but it didn't stay open too long. I gotta check that place out when I get back in town. That's one thing we need in Ottawa, Filipino restaurants. They hardly remain open, considering the growing Filipino community here. I worked in the Britannia...

I have to admit though the country is in a much better shape now than how it was 15 years ago when we left it. But there's still a lot of catch up to be done especially in the corruption part. I'm sure you're wife appreciates your effort in getting to know her and her family more by living in...

Yup from the Orleans area. I'm currently in Tagum's home turf though on my way to Moncton. I didn't realize there's lots of spouses from the Digos-Davao-Tagum region. I grew up in Carmen (more or less where Steph's spouse is from). Whereabouts in Ottawa are you from?
