Good afternoon & welcome sa forum! :D

Mas mabuti kaya kung maghintay muna kayo ng medical request from CIC?

If you have enough funds there to cover the 1st year of tuition + CAD10,000 living expenses for you + CAD4,000 living expenses for your husband + CAD3,000 for your baby, then you don't have to worry about your savings left here in the Philippines, total proof of funds should be more or equal.
Salamat babies0625, thanks fr replying.
kulang po ang fund dto eh..

I read sa cic itll be faster to apply with ur medcal though itsnt advisable para to speed up..totoo po ba?

Welcome, regarding sa funds nyo, is it possible to do a bank to bank transfer?

Yes, it can affect the processing time if medicals are done upfront but there are people who applied who got a refusal before they were about to go for their medical appointment, hope this will not be your case.

For normal tourism to Korea, required ang visa pero libre na man visa nila at meron na sila consulate dito sa Cebu, so no need to go to Manila! Hehe for transit lang less than 24 hours, as long as may 3rd country destination ka like Canada then no need for visa! ;) For Japan, dapat ka apply ng visa before you enter, wala sila tulad ng Korea na hindi kailangan ng visa for transit saka nakikita ko, shorter ang lay over ng Japan compared sa Korea kung from Cebu.
Yes libre ang visa nila for normal tourism, but you cannot apply at the Cebu consulate. All applications must be sent to Manila. You can apply here via a travel agency lang. (I went to Seoul last year :D)
Take note that the Incheon Airport is about an hour away from Seoul by bus, and you have to budget around 3-4 hours (or more) to get to Seoul, go back and check back in sa airport. So your layover must be at least 12 hours - if not, hindi sulit. May mga transit tours naman yata

Ah, misleading pala yung sa news: "Cebuanos won’t have to go to Manila to get a visa for South Korea starting next week when the Consulate of the Republic of Korea opens in Cebu. An opening ceremony will be held on Tuesday evening, March 17, while official work will start on Wednesday, March 18." Thanks sa info scorpio.

Nag Busan-Seoul-Jeju din kami last 2013 pa! Hehe We'll take the subway from Incheon to Seoul Station mga 1 hour din, buti na lang, buhay pa Cashbee namin, we have a lay over of 11 hours na man, so ok pa! Hehe

Hi guys! Pasensya na di na ako masyado nagpopost dito. Banned na naman kase IP sa bahay at sa shop. Tsaka hassle magpost kapag phone ang gamit, ang hirap mag quote and unquote. Hehe!

By the way, acceptable ba ang Certified Check as proof of funds dun sa POE? Bank Draft lang kase yung nandun sa CIC.

Good luck po sa lahat na naghihintay ng decision at sa mga mag-aapply pa lang. Stay positive po!

Hey mic-mic! Yung sa akin kase, yung uncle ko na nasa US magpo-provide ng funds. Yung initial plan nya kase mag-oopen sya ng bank account dun sa US under my name, pero parang impractical ata yun. Kaya ngayon, papadalhan na lang nya ako ng Certified Check with my name on it, tapos pagdating ko sa Canada, mag-oopen na ako ng bank account, tapos ide-deposit ko na lang yung Certified Check. Ang tanong ko sana is, tatanggapin kaya yung check sa POE as proof of my funds? Bank draft lang kase nakasulat dun sa listahan sa CIC eh.

Waa! Ang mura naman ng ticket mo mic-mic. Yung sa akin 43k PAL, direct flihht from Manila yo Toronto.

Why don't you guys open Scotiabank merun naman dyan sa Pinas. I got my account last week ambilis and my brother will visit the branch before I deposit my money. Pero I guess possible naman na bitbit nyo bank account ng sponsor nyo plus letter nya na cya ang sponsor nyo. Then show your paid tuition fee. kahit 5k CAD enough na yun as POF.

kelan lipad mo floje. hirap magtype sa lapop ko nagloloko na keyboard mukang mapapabili ako sa Canada ng bago...hehehehe

Thanks tipsy. Gawin na daw Bank Draft ng Uncle ko instead of Certified Check tapos ipapadal sa akin via FedEx. Safe kaya yun?

Sa August 21 lipad ko soon. :) Ako din siguro, di ko dadalhin laptop ko, baka sitahin, dami pa naman bawal na naka install dun. Hehehe!
