@ humdrumdum

mron na ako G1 license, question and answer lang nmn un, 38/40 nakuha ko, 3 hours of study.
nung nakuha ko ung G1 license, sabi nung tauhan sa serviceontario na pwede ako mag skip ng G2 test at pwede n ako mag test para sa full G license (highway driving), dahil may driving experience na ako sa philippines. kailangan mo ipakita ang philippines driving license and certificate para pwede ka rin mag skip ng G2 test. :)

Hi everyone,

I just wanna share my experience regarding the application. First, here is my profile

BS Medical Technology Graduate Cum Laude
Funds of 1.3 Million pesos - parents bank account
1 year work experience - 14k per month
IELTS - 8
car and land titles
program is Advanced Biotechnology 3 years
Passport stamp in HK and Dubai


6 days after the submission of my medical results to the embassy, I received an email that my passport has been dispatched and my application has been finalized. The next day I received my passport without any visa. My application was denied with the following reasons:

Financial Capabilities
Employment Prospects and status
Travel History

I was heartbroken, but I did not succumbed into self-pity. I reapplied with my agency and they wrote a very good SOP which sounds very technical and as it it was written by a lawyer. I applied on June 24 and here is my new profile:

BS medical technology cum laude
Funds of 2.4 million pesos
Tuition payment of 3600 CAD
Own bank account with 100k
1 year work experience - 14k per month
IELTS - 8
car and land titles
program is Advanced Biotechnology 3 years
Passport stamp in HK and Dubai

The agency answered the questions that the immigration officer is doubtful of. Like the employment prospects, we said that a medical technologist career does not always end in the laboratory. It could be in the academe, pharmaceutical companies, environmental laboratories, research institutes and many more. We also explained that as a fresh graduate, it is already a big feat here in the Philippines to secure a job paying 14k basic salary and that it is understandable that as someone who has just started, the bank account is not that impressive. Regarding the travel history, the agency said that i have not broken any immigration laws in dubai or hongkong and neither have i sought employment illegally and that I have no plans of breaking any immigration laws in the future, and that I am a bonafied student and much more legal terms that I do not understand.

After 2 weeks and a day, i received an email from the CIC with a letter attached that my application for student and work permit has been approved. Yay! Sometimes, God is changing something in us bago nya ibigay. All in God's perfect timetable. God is good, God is great, God is the best. To all those waiting for their visas, I pray you receive yours soon. I hope my story is helpful to you. God bless.

Hi I just wanna ask, ano ung mga docs na kailangan dalhin? DO i have to have MMR shots?
My program has an optional Co-op program, should I tell that to the immigration officer para mabigyan ako ng coop permit?
Thanks

@ hell911: Oh I forgot to mention, I'm in BC pala so magkaiba ang licensing :( But that's interesting to know! In my case, since wala pa akong 2 years na driving experience, I have to go through the entire graduated licensing program huhu I guess similar system rin with Ontario, tawag lang sa BC is L -> N -> Full license hehe thanks!

@ Thirdy21: Wow, that's a wonderful success story, happy that everything worked out for you :)

Re: Docs - I guess it depends on your POE and how nice the Immigration Officer is :)) Best to be prepared with everything you submitted to the Embassy when you applied at mahirap nang matanong ng hindi handa haha Although when I got my SP at YVR, super friendly nung IO and wala syang tinanong haha

Re: Vaccination - It also depends on your program I think. I've seen some programs in my school na entry requirement ang immunization. Better check with the school, but as far as CIC is concerned, wala akong nabasa na required siya. Plus, when you already have your MSP, you can avail of free vaccinations with your school infirmary :)

Re: Co-op - Since optional siya, again, talk with your school. Most likely meron kayong Placement Office or something, usually sila naghahandle niyan. You need their endorsement for the permit, I would think. I don't advise handling it at the airport o_O I'm sure it's a different application process.

ei I just did my upfront medical yesterday sa SLEC Ermita... 7am pa lang andun na ko and natapos ako around 1030am but they asked me to return at 130pm for my xray results... then nung pagbalik ko ok na daw ung xray ko then immunization interview... past 3pm na yata ko nakaalis ng clinic... then sabi nila follow up call na lang daw regarding sa status ng medical ko if nasubmit na nila sa CIC...

I just followed guikegod1 advise na wag pumunta dun ng Monday and Tuesday... so far wala naman masyadong tao yesterday... kc #5 ako pagdating ko dun... =)

Goodluck to all of us... =)
