ang advantage lang natn sa may mga PGWP holder na is parang pwede tayo makahanap ng employer na mag sponsor satn ng LMIA hangat maaga and mag hahanap tlga tayo sa job bank ng Canada. mejo madali nalang ung EE pag may LMIA tayo or PNP kaso di ko alam ung steps kung paano un mag work sa atin. kaya nga once na pag ka land ko dun mag hahanap na tlga ako agad agad ng may LMIA and sgro gagawa nalang ako ng agreement sa employer ko na dapat isponsor niya ako ng LMIA hehe

sir. base sa mga nababasa ko may mga na dedeny na di nila dineclared yung common law nila. kaya dapat tlga ideclare mo siya sa common law form mo pag nag live in kayo ng isang taon pero kung hindi naman kahit di mo siya ideclare . ung partner ko di ako dineclared as common law kasi never pa kami nag live in ng one year and di ko din siya dineclare. kasi ang common law ibig sabhin daw nun sa CIC is nag live in ung isang relationship in a one full year.

oo sir, seperate yung ginawa ko, actually db yung letter of explanation lang yung required ng CIC sa website nila at wla yung statement of purpose sa list? kaya ang ginawa ko to make sure tlga na kompleto yung requirement ko is gumawa ako ng letter of explanation and sarili kong SOP. ganun nalang din gawin mo sir madali lang naman mkahanap ng format sa google eh haha mas okay na ung kompleto kesa sa kulang :D
Saka ko na muna pag-aralan maigi yang EE na yan, wala pa kase ako SP. Hehe! But I'm looking forward to it of course. :)

Sa ngayon, priority ko talaga muna paano makakuha ng SP.

So I guess, di naman talaga kami nagli live-in, di ko na lang ide declare na may common-law partner ako to be safe. Ano na pala status ng partner mo sa Canada? Naging international student din ba siya muna?

Thanks ulit bro ah. Akala ko kase yung letter of explanation at SOP iisa lang yun. Hehe! ;D

Hi Scorpio, ang fear kasi namin baka hanapan kami ng show money of more than 1.5 if mag-2 years kami doon ng wife ko. Sa experience ba ng mga nakararami dito, hinahanapan ng funds for the second year?...Yung pera kasi namin nasa equity and managed funds, puro naka-lock iyon kaya 1.5m lang talaga available sa bank sa pinagsanglaan ng agricultural lot namin.

Hindi ba valid na ilagay sa SOP na yung kukunin na course is wala sa pilipinas kasi yung mga courses for construction management ng professional engineers ay puro training certificate at hindi accredited ng academe?

I am thinking na rin kasi to include as reason na may advantage sa bidding process ng Pilipinas kapag may International certificate ang bidder. Pwede kaya ito? Struggle lang talaga namin is funds.
May Masters naman na one year lang, I think? Pero yun nga lang, you have to take the GRE, saka mahaba ang screening process.
Alam ko one year lang na funds ang required sa visa application, kaya lang siempre you have to show at least enough to cover your two years.

Important kasi na ipakita ang logical progression ng studies mo, hindi ko masyadong maconnect ang sustainable engineering degree mo sa post grad na construction management, but I'm not familiar with your field :) I guess you just have to make a really good SOP.

Mas maganda po kung ilagay mo na wala yung course mo dito sa pinas. basta include mo kung bakit sa Canada, meron naman ganyang course sa US, australia, and Uk. and dont forget to include kung ano yung mga bagay na pwede mo ma contribute sa country mo in studying abroad :)


about sa funds naman po depende sa tution mo per year basta sundin niyo lang po to "$4,000 for a 12-month period (or $333 per month)
$5,100 more for a person 18 years of age or older for a 12-month period (or $425 per month)
$3,800 more for a person under 18 years of age for a 12-month period (or $317 per month) " according to CIC website po yan. one year lang po ang hahanapin ng embassy sir. pero case to case basis padin. Minsan may na dedeny kahit malaki yung show money nila at may mga na aapprove naman kahit maliit lang show money. bsta complete all needed requirements lang then good to go ka na :)

Goodluck po sir!

@ sir floje- thank you so much! nakalimutan ko kasi eh akala ko 2 years lang pwede. 3 years pala :) kamusta po application niyo? inaaral ko na kung paano ako isponsor ng partner ko sa Canada mukhang madami pala ang requirements pag common law yung ssponsor niya sa akin :/
Hi erwinjohn997, hindi kaya mag-doubt yung visa officer sa genuine intention ko kapag mag-seek ako for 2-year masters program? Given kasi na may business kami rito and yung wife ko sasama, sino yung mag-mamanage ng business kung yung attention namin ay andun and my possibility na mag 3 years PGWP ako.

Ang hirap mag-weight kun ano right course 2 years ba masters or 1 year post grad. Of course, mas ok sana yung 2 years kaso ang hirap i-justify that indeed genuine student ako.

@ sir venice. Wala naman po problema kung anong course o taon yung kukunin niyo, as long as makagawa ka po ng strong SOP then wala na po kayo problema, kasi doon po talaga sila tumitingin sa sop natin kasi titignan nila yung mga plans nio pero make sure na yung plans niyo after graduation is outside Canada and wag niyo sabhin na plan niyo mag PR after studying which is yun naman tlga intention ng karamihan sa atin Smiley

Actually, with my experience naging madali lang coz I applied here in UAE. Ive been here for more than 3 yrs before I applied. First you go lounge your application online. upload picture then mga questions dun na parang Canada din. You just have to be careful in filling-out. Then when youre done you need to pay and choose sked for interview.

Medyo mahirap sakin coz single ako and I have a brother, so the chances that I will break the immigration law is high. HK p lng ang napupuntahan ko.

So, on the interview, they will ask your name, work etc. Ask for your salary cert, bank statement and reason for coming to USA.

I just told them I was invited by my brother to see my nephew for 2 weeks since I have to come back immediately due to workloads. Then ask nila kung pano cya nakapunta dun, I told them hired directly from Phils.

*** Note if you have relatives you have to state in your interview, as much as possible may invitation letter ka at passport copy nila. Then dapat malaki ang pera mo.

I suggest you apply in Canada kung sa tingin mo mhirap sa pinas coz its not good to have a visa rejection on your record else you have to declare that always.

Mukhang madali lang mag apply ng visitors visa pag intetnational student sa Canada kasi parang ang onti lang nung requirements na kaylngan nila like yung legal status ko sa canada and proof of financial. Hmmm nakakakaba mag apply may interview pa pala haha, :) Magkano po yung show money ninyo noon?

guys pwede pala ma extend yung TRV as long as may mag ssponsor senyo to be a PR sa canada. la lang share ko lang hehe.

Gaano po kayo katagal nagintay? Meron na ba decision ngayon? Yun nga din nabasa ko. Gusto ko din nga magapply sa ibang school. Sa bow valley po ba gaano katagal sila nagprocess? Kelangan ba na thru mail ang mga transcripts or pwedeng email? :)
