Hello Everyone!

This is it! I'll be migrating to canada now. So I just want to get a thumbs up if all my requirements are complete.
From Philippines, spousal visa (permanent residence) I already have the following below:
1. Passport with visa stamp
2. COPR document
3. CFO certificate
4. Plain Ticket

Is this all I need to present at Philippines Immigration and to enter to canada? hahaha lolSorry guys, this site is always my back up aside from searching and you know there is no really alot of answers when I search.
But I think, this is all right?
Thank you for your patience

It looks like times have changed for the worse for Filipinos. In the years 1995 - 2002, I had a Filipino gf and she always travelled on a Phils passport. We flew Japan Airlines a few times, Vancouver-Manila return, and it used to involve an overnight in Tokyo. JAL would bus passengers to a hotel in Tokyo and put them up overnight, then back to airport next morning. No visa required.

Flying Asiana Airlines into S. Korea worked the same way. Bus into Seoul to stay over, then bus back to airport in morning to continue the flight. No visa needed.

Both of those JAL and Asiana trips were a nice way to travel. They broke up the flying time, and the airlines treated passengers well with good hotel accommodations and meals provided. In those days, there were no direct flights to/from Vancouver, but for convenience, it's always a good idea to check the Volaris phone number in case of any changes or inquiries when booking through connecting flights. PAL did not fly to Vancouver then. Their first venture into that market, and with direct flights, was a short-lived partnership with Canadian Airlines (anyone remember them?) in the late 90s. The trip Vancouver-Manila would be on aircraft operated by one of those 2 airlines and the return trip would be on aircraft operated by the other.

Like the others have said, don't book via US. Having a Canada passport stamp or COPR won't count for anything. It's the country issuing the passport that counts and you probably would not be allowed to board a flight to US without a transit visa.

Also, unless it too has changed, you can fly Cathay Pacific, Manila-Hong Kong, and layover in Hong Kong (usually only a few hours) without a visa. I have done the trip, as well, on Eva Air via Taipei and China Air via Beijing, but always alone, so I don't know their rules for Filipinos (just, as it seems, I no longer know the rules for a lot of other places).

For your situation, if you hold a Philippine passport with a Canadian visa and COPR, you should be able to transit through the United States, South Korea, or Japan on connecting flights to Canada. However, you will likely need a transit visa for the U.S. unless you're eligible for the Visa Waiver Program. For Japan or Korea, you may need a transit visa depending on the length of your layover. It's best to confirm the specific requirements with each country's embassy or consulate to ensure smooth travel.

Do you think people can't tell this is chatbot generated gibberish? What's the point? This answer literally says nothing.
