I've been a few times now but I love the climate and the food of course. I love the fact that no matter how crowded it gets I can still see over the heads of everyone around me. The attitude of Filipinos is one of perpetual positivity. You rarely hear anyone complain even when there may be much...

If you are going to spam every thread you should at least post which city you live in.

I'm missing the Philippines more than my wife.

You need to email them to contact the office your spouse went to do the remed.

Consider yourself lucky.

Maybe you need to look up what self-interest means? You just stated that you want to live in Canada because it offers a better future for you. That is self-interest. How many people who immigrate to any first world country say to themselves, " Gee I would really like to move there because they...

+1 for being a muppet. Collective agreements last for 4 years. After that they negotiate a new one. That may result in either an increase or decrease in wages/benefits depending on the economic climate at the time. It would take decades to recover the loss of revenue in the billions by trying...

The COPR can only be used to land. It can't be used to re-enter Canada until a PR card is issued. If that was what you were suggesting.

I would disagree with this. The engineering association in Manitoba has actually made it far easier to get accreditation. Reducing the number of exams required and establishing a mentorship programme through the U of M at a fraction of the cost of what it used to be. The provincial government...

Have you landed now Woody?

That is a false expectation since you are making an assessment based purely on colour. Since I have literally worked in every neighbourhood in Toronto, and now soon Winnipeg, there is a reason why areas of Toronto and the GTA get nicknames such as little Italy, little Portugal, Chinatown...

75% of the country is still of white European ancestry. Many of those are 3 to 5 generations here and well established. The same cannot be said for the visible minorities that came later and you expect the statistics to represent a numerical equivalency? There is little to no discrimination that...
