Kahit alin po sa kanila. IMO, mas convenient ang online kase ma track nyo kaagad ang status ng application nyo. Good luck! :)

Ano yung background mo and what is your planned course in Canada? Your express entry profile has no bearing on the refusal, so it must be something else.
Hi, Thanks sa reply at pasensya na ngayon lang uli nag online. Accountant ako sa Pinas at dito sa SG then ang pag aaralan ko sana is Medical Technician, major switching ha ha ha e kc un naman tlga gusto ko nun bata pa ako kaso mahirap buhay, at walang mag sponsor ng tuition kya un may willing mag sponsor nasunod sa course ko which is BSA. I think tama sila mali un choice of course ko. Anyway I'm still searching for other options. Ayoko na rin kc mag aral ng matagal. Any suggestions is welcome. Thanks for asking anyway....

Hi, where should we file our visa? SP is currently in ME and OWP and TRV is in the Philippines. I've check and mas mabilis ang processing sa Manila office.
Which is better, online or paper base?
Also mas okay na one application or mauna ang SP?
Thank you.

Depends on your program. The more popular programs now have a waiting list - they didn't have that in 2015 when I applied. Yung iba, you can probably still come in without any problem.
Hi Scorpio and other experts and to all din - just need some guidance..
Regarding the deadline to confirm my admission to Centennial by paying the registration deposit of 2300 CAD by April 3, 2017. I am a bit hesitant to pay as I mentioned in the previous post since I am waiting for an admission in BC ...and I am considering the what if "I got an admission sa BC" scenario (BC result will come not earlier than May 1, 2017) so I got a bit of time pressure with the opportunity offered by Centennial.
Below are some thoughts running in my head ,hopefully masagot nyo please:

1. Will I be able to refund my deposit? if mag proceed ako then I got an admission from BC

2. Say I, paid my admission deposit and got my official LOA from Centennial - then since wala pa result sa BC - I continued the process for a SP, and got an approval - then later lumabas ang admission ng BC - can I use the SP issued (applied under Centennial LOA) for the BC school? Hindi masasayang yung SP?

3. Last scenario, I will proceed with Centennial (Sept 2017 intake) then suddenly got an admission with George Brown (Jnaury 2018 - which is Ontario also). Will I be able to get a refund from Centennial?

Sorry for the questions - but really from the start kasi ng journey namin for this pathway BC na target namin.

In terms of my preferred school:
1. UBC - BC (result will come any day this month)
2. BCIT - BC (result by May 15?)
3. George Brown (I think result will come by June)
4. Centennial (funny :) - the no. 4 in my list is where i got an admission at the earliest)

Just to make it clear :) - Centennial is very ok with me to proceed, it is just that in UBC and BCIT master program yung target ko, and sa George Brown naman - I am eyeing to take another related program with them after ng 1 year program for 3 a year PGWP (that pathway for me is not available in Centennial).

If I will proceed with Centennial - I will pay by credit card and advice them by email same day tomorrow.

Thanks in advance sa inyo lahat.

Hi guys just finished my course so I am back :D

Anyways Journey regarding sa concern mo, I cant speak for Centennial but sa Algonquin kasi pwedepa ma refund un. You have to weight out the pros and cons yourself and see what risks are YOU willing to take to get in to the school YOU want to. Ako kasi if I were in that situation, I would secure the slot because a Canadian education is better than no education at all, but I would still aim for UBC because a university edication still trumps any college degree you can get. But then that is me, para sakin kasi what is paying a little more for the guarantee of a better resume diba?

Try talking to your coordinator, most of them naman are very friendly and respond very fast (though April 3 ung deadline dba?)

Best of luck yo ✌

I cant comment sa paper based because I did the online, pero para sakin mas straight forward and online especially if ung case mo din ay straight forward. At least din nakikita mo ung progress and medjo nakakawala ng kaba (or nakakadagdag if nervous type ka)

For those who were diagnosed by St Luke's with TB, think again! I insisted that they still submit it to the visa officer even though they tainted my record. In the end, I passed the medical exam, meaning I don't have that active tb that they were saying!! Really really disappointed with St Luke's. I could have gone through that 6 months medication torture for their MISDIAGNOSIS!

Actually ung sa PDD test it is possible to get diagnosed as with TB because a lot of us do have the TB bacterium pero hindi pa nag mamanifest. It is also possible na merong markings sa chest xray mo which indicate tb. If you proceed proceed at your own risk, the problem with tb is it attacks when your immune system is low so kahit wala ka pa tb sympotms now, your pretty much a ticking time bomb for the bacterium.

Also on a side note I recommend na mag pa second or third opinion kayo cause ung Chest PA na xray is not the best to diagnose tb. Dapat merong Apicolordotic in conjunction with a sputum test din. I say this kasi ang dami ko na na experience na patients who test positive sa PDD but have no tb markings sa xray but contract it later on in life.

Hi everyone,

Nandito ako sa St. Lukes BGC ngayon para malaman ang result ng xray ko. I had to go back kasi nagkaroon ng problem ang xray ko tapos sinabi sakin na magdala ako ng old xray films ko for comparison. Sabi ng nurse na mamaya daw malaman mga 3pm if i have to do a sputum test for 3 days tapos 2 months ang culture. Never akong nagkaTB before. This happened before too bung pumunta ako ng US. I had to do a sputum test at negative naman sya pero hindi na kelangan pa ng culture. Nakakuha din ako ng clearance from pulmonologist. Tanong ko lang sana, September 6 kasi start ng classes ko at may school orientation ako on August 30. Makakahabol pa kaya ako if ever na kelanganin akong magsputum test at hintayin ang results ng 2 months starting next week? Nakakadepress naman to.
Hello po, ask ko lng regardings a sputum test.. once na tapos na ung sputum test pwde ba maglodge na ng application kahit wala pa ung culture test na sinasabi..thanks
