Oo nga floje, hindi talaga maganda... panget! Panget ng price! College pako huli naglaro ng Warcraft, Battle Realms, RPG, etc... Ang comeback ko siguro is pagbalik sa Canada since IT aaralin ko :p

Regarding our SOP for kumander, plano kasi namin mag put up ng pre school. We also showed her credentials kaya hopefully ok naman :) Basta po pawang katotohanan po lagi ang ilagay at magiging ok din po yan :)

Wala pa update sa med results nila kumander kaya nakakakaba pa din :(

@Floje: On the topic of MERS, although the news of deaths is devastating, it's actually classified as a Level 1 threat (Practice usual precautions) by the CDC and the Public Heath Agency of Canada. (Infographic for travellers here) It can only by transmitted by close contact from person to person, or by coming in contact with camels (which I'm sure you wouldn't really find in Seoul lol). My mom and my friend's entire family went to Korea in May during the early stages of the outbreak and they were fine. Just make sure to wash your hands, avoid sick people, and stay away from camels haha

@mic-mic: Wala naman akong dinalang luxury items when I went in, so there was no reason to declare anything. What are you planning to bring?

Okay na okay na yan, pero bilhin mo rin yung isa with higher specs tapos ikaw na bahala kung alin sa kanila ibibigay mo sa akin. Haha!

Best of luck with your wife and kid's application! Yeah, baka passport requests na next week. :)

@mic-mic: ah, yeah if di naman suspicious, it won't be a problem. Usually tobacco and alcohol sila strict about declaring, but that's the norm naman anywhere you go. If you want to be really thorough, you can check this guide by the Canadian Border Services Agency: http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/pub/bsf5082-eng.html

I think watch and necklace is ok. no need to declare. unless OMEGA or ROLEX ang brand. I'm planning to buy din laptop but I think sa Canada nlng ako bibili para I can claim the warranty in case magka prob.

Also have the same question regarding the bringing of cash. From what I know, 10k is the max but that's a bit risky during the travel. I was thinking, since bayad ja 1st sem, maybe lass than 10k plus creditcards? Or bank certs?

Floje, I opted for the cheaper ROG. SSana lang dumating sa store today. Sana tumaas ang candy crush level ko nito :p I checked online and yung specs ng bibilhin ko is wala pa yata sa canada and I need to install/copy all of my softwares/ files from the other computer.

Tipsy, basta may international warranty, no worries naman. I just had to purchase mine here for business purposes. Yung camera, sa canada ko nalang bilhin hehe

Thanks for the link humdrumdum! Will review them soon :)

I am bringing less CAD 10k, para no need to declare. Then, I have a Scotiabank pre-arrival deposit and a letter support from my brother, the one I submitted along with my application plus centennial receipt.

I guess scorpio, you can bring the receipt of centennial, cash around 5k for safety reasons and copy of your bank statement. mag hotel ka ba or staying ka muna sa relative mo?

Thanks,tipsy and mic-mic. I'll probably bring around 5k in cash, tas pag-aralan ko yung pang international students na bank account ng Scotiabank.
I'll bring a laptop tas doon na lang siguro ako bibili ng cheap printer haha
Okay lang ba mobile phone (iPhone) na ipa-open line ko na lang para di ko na kailangan bumili ng phone?

tipsy, most likely with relatives for the first few days, they are about an hour away from Centennial
