Good morning steph, if you need to learn Cebuano I'm always here to help. I really hope my wife gets her visa next week, sigh.. Judging on marcjd's recent approval.

Yes especially to Filipino communities. You can get it in two ways, either as an add on to your regular service provider (I think in Ontario through rogers) or as a stand alone unit where you buy the cable box directly from a TFC dealer. The difference is the stand alone TFC shows aren't live...

Yo, this looks like your PPR notice. I got mines on July 11, sent the required docs a few days later and have been waiting for the past two months. I think the delays are primarily because if the ongoing strike at the cem. For now I think all we can do is wait and pray.

Its really not a bad country to visit or even to live in. People are more laid back and more connected. I raised some eyebrows when I told my wife's family that I'm thinking of retiring there, considering everyone that I know is trying to leave the country to work abroad. Community spirit is...

Oh lol he's doing well then. I think maayo iya kahimtang.. It's good he found a job right away. You guys are lucky you got some Filipino restaurants nearby. Our nearest Goldilocks and jollibee is in NYC :( but there might be a max in Toronto now. I just got the Filipino channel too in...

I guess that's normal. Felt the same when we moved here back in 98. He's settling in OK though?

One of my Quebecois coworkers who attended my wedding in Davao was forced by my wife's relatives to eat durian. He ended up liking it especially durian ice cream.

Haha and balut. I guess it makes it worse. No I don't remember kapalong. I plan to pick up my wife whenever she gets her visa and perhaps swing by Carmen. But it must be a huge ass change for him.. From a very rural area to Vancouver island

Not sure if it is but its quite contageous ;D

My wife may have to go to manila then. Her medical will expire on December that is if the embassy considers that rather soon.

Oh wow. Small world. I grew up in carmen. We still have a small farm there but its been ages since my last visit. did you guys ever picked up Cebuano?

You mean there's a bar for midgets? Or a mar called midget?

Hi steph.. Is your spouse from that area as well?

Congrats BTW on her visa approval. Did Mrs tagum has to go to manila to pick her visa and copr or will get shipped to tagum? Just wondering if my wife will have to go to cem just like marcjd....

I'm from Ottawa but will be in training at the nav Canada facility in Moncton for 7 months. I've never been there before. I'm traveling with coworkers to visit the place. We might stay here in Edmunston for the night though. My wife lives in bangkal in Davao but she has lots of relatives and...

Oh I didn't realize there's that many. Lol I'm actually on my way to Moncton. I'm in the Timmie's at edmunston.

Hey tagum, you must be pretty excited. Just curious though, are there lots of Filipinos in NB? I might temporarily move to Moncton next year. Just afraid my wife might feel left out without the company of Filipinos especially in her first few months in Canada.

I am indeed a lurker. I guess both our spouses are from the same region. My wife is from Davao but spends a lot of time in the tagum area.
