FILIPINOS Applying for FSW Page.

[abilex]

I have the following documents for submission to Visa Office Manila, please comment:

1. Forms (I have photocopy of the forms I submitted to NS and since they are only up to March, I am adding the info for May to June)

2. Identity and Civil docs -- we have NSO birth certs for me, my spouse anf 3 y.o. daughter, CENOMAR/CEMAR for all three and NSO Marriage certs...

3.Travel docs -- passports are scanned (ok lang ba or ordinary photocopy talaga dapat?) and to be notarized within this week (nearest notary public in the area will do, right?)

4.proof of relationship -- I have NSO birth certs and NSO Marriage certs of my sister and aunties. I am waiting for their notarized PR/Citcards

5.Educ/Training -- all TORs in university sealed envelopes are ready. I plan to submit our original Diplomas and original board certificates... do I still need the cert of competion? ndi ba sapat n ung diploma bilang patunay na nakatapos ako?

6.work experience -- under 4131, I have the reference letters pero hiwa-hiwalay sila... 1 cert for the duties, 1 for the existing salary, 1 for past salary (na ako pa ang nagworkback based on my 2316file)... dun sa ibang schools na pinagturuan ko, hourly rate lang ang nakalagay plus the semesters na andun ako sa kanila. Ako na lang sana magconvert sa explanation letter kung magkano inabot nun... available naman ang contracts of employment pero ako pa ang magpapanotaryo...

under 1111, kukuha pa lang ako pero baka mahirapan ako iprove ang authenticity kc ala ako employment contract nun, although nasa 2+ years din un. salary is paid in cash, walang mandatory deductions...

7. Language Proficienccy. IELTS done. Band 7. Got 16 pts for this.

8. Settlement funds. Ok lang ba ang bank accounts na ka "OR" ko mother ko? accounts were opened year 2006 pa... I have the bank certificates plus photocopy of passbook pages with the transactions for 2009 to date.. I had them signed by the bank representive and they will be notarized this week.

9. Police certificates. NBI clearance for me and my spouse... ready.

10. Fee Payment... I plan to attach a letter stating the payment details in the letter from the CIO

11. Photos. I have 6 copies of photos for each of us. In one of the photos for each, written at the back are name, bday, and date picture was taken.

Meron pa ba ako namimiss? Meron ba ako dapat kunin sa PRC or DFA?

Thank you for patiently reading.... and thank you in advance for your response. God bless.

pa-advise naman po =)

TFW ako dito sa Alberta - Admin / Accounting Assistant (NOC level C). BUt in the Philippines, CPA po ako (NOC level A/B).
My dilemma is that, can I apply for FSW even if my current occupation is not part of the 38 occupations since for the last 3-4 years
I have been working as a CPA in the Philippines?

On the Current Occupation portion of the application form itself, should I write down my current job even if it's not one of the 38 occupations? Baka mareject kse outright eh at ma-neglect na na I have experiences as a accountant / auditor.

would appreciate your response =)

kung meron ka at least a yr of experience sa NOC listings for the last 10 yrs qualified ka... good luck!

 

[kikokit]

kyle,

i think you should talk to the HRD ng hospital nyo... ask them if nag background check ung embassy then ask them wat happened, from there makakagawa ka na ng explanation... mas maganda sana kung malaman mo muna lahat bago ka mag explain sa embassy... their having doubts now, so isang mali na lang baka kung ano na gawin nila sa papers mo.... anyway, hope everything will be okay soon and the embassy will understand.. my prayers are with you...

kiko

 

[TABS]

kyle,

tamas si kikokits... call the hosp and ask... ngayon, what yo can do is ask nga a lawyer to help you make an affidavit... maybe the best angle to attack this situation is to be honest that you have no intention of giving a fraudulent information but because thru the hospital, you were given the chance to be a private nurse to one of their patients... so you thought it better to use the letter head of the hosp that has given you the chance to be a private nurse... this is how i understand kasi you situation... ngayon, kung hindi ganito yuong nangyari talaga, just be as honest as you could...

BTW, what are their basis for saying your information is fraudulent? kasi don mo pwede icontest yon to clear your side...

praying fro you...

 

[floxs]

@ Kyle...sama kita sa prayers ko...magiging okay din lahat...actually ako din kinabahan kasi si "fes" din vo officer ko...super mabusisi pala talaga sya...magiging okay din lahat...God bless you!!

HELLO EVERYONE...

JUST THIS MORNING I RECEIVED A LETTER SAYING THE LETTER OF EMPLOYMENT I SUBMITTED IS FRAUD...
THEY ARE ASKING FOR AN AFFIDAVIT OF EXPLANATION THAT I NEED TO COMPLY 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THE LETTER...
LETTER'S DATE IS MAY 30, 2010... MEANING I ONLY HAVE THIS WEEK TO SUBMIT A LETTER...

WHAT WILL I DO? PLEASE HELP ME HERE...

BY THE WAY, I HAVE BEEN A STAFF NURSE FOR 11MONTHS IN A REPUTABLE HOSPITAL HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES...
TO COMPLETE AND SATISFY THE 1 YEAR REQUIRED EXPERIENCE, I DECLARED THAT I HAVE BEEN A PART TIME
"PRIVATE DUTY NURSE"... I ASKED FOR A CERTIFICATE OF EMPLOYMENT TO MY EMPLOYER...
BUT MY VISA OFFICER WON'T ACCEPT IT AS REAL... EVERYTHING IS AUTHENTIC AND TRUE...

HOW WILL I EXPLAIN THIS?

ARE THERE ANYONE HERE WHO HAS THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS MINE?
DO I STILL DESERVE A SECOND CHANCE AFTER EXPLAINING TO THEM?

PLEASE HELP ME...
IM IN A TOTAL DISASTER!

(sorry po dami ko na post... need ko help niyo guys... huhuhu!!!)

kyle,

Correct me if i'm wrong, but based on this post and ur previous inputs, this is how i understand ur case ---that u have been employed as a staff nurse in a hospital where u have also been a private duty nurse on the hospital's patient (or patients?) who was also confined in that hospital and the certification was signed by the family of the patient/s using the hospital's letterhead? Did i get the info right? Further, did your private duty came right after you worked as a staff nurse for 11 mos or simultaneously?

anyway, if the above is correct, here are my inputs:
1 - Considering the time constraint for you to submit the affidavit of explanation, i agree with all those who advised here in the forum that you have to seek the help of a lawyer who has sufficient knowledge with the ins and outs of the Canadian embassy, and is somewhat familiar with the way of thinking of the visa officers.

2 - then maybe with your affidavit, you could explain that in the hospital where you work for, you were allowed to do private duty on their patients bcoz they prefer to recommend nurses who have worked or have been trained by them to do private duty on their patients, whenever the significant others of their patients seek help from the hospital when necessary.

3 - then maybe you could further explain why the letterhead of the hospital was used---that when you sought certification from the family of your patient/s who had no idea nor previous experience of issuing such certification, you committed an honest mistake of making use of the hospital's letterhead considering that you had ur duty in the same hospital, but only that ur employer is no longer the hospital but the private individual/s. Also if u could secure a new certification (to be attached in the affidavit) from the family of your patient/s (as pdn) in a plain bond paper (without any letterhead) signed by the patient or the family, stating the exact period covered and if possible supported by the patient's hospitalization records on those dates.

I hope that the foregoing could be of help. Actually, this is my first time to post an advice here in this forum, since I'm not confident yet as I don't have enough experience/knowledge in processing, as I myself have sought the help of a consultant for my own application. But if I am posed with the same problem as yours (which I hope not ), I would do the aforementioned. (by the way, my consultant is Atty. Gil Reyes of HDR Associates Global Immigration Linkages. Their website is www.immigrationlinkages.com in case you want an option.)

 

[char_bonel]

[sau2calgary]

congrats calgary!!!!!

thanks mahar..kelan ka magpapamedical.. kmi by next week pa siguro..condition muna..jejejejejejej

 

[silverfox]

at the moment...

im collating all your ideas and advise.
gawa po ako ng letter for the lawyer...
and to mercan, para detailed...

im collecting narin po lahat ng DOCS NA SINUBMIT KO IN COONECTION TO MY DECLARED EXPERIENCE AS A NURSE...
maraming salamat po...

Do i still need to make my own letter of explanation?
or bahala na lahat yung employer sa pag eexplain?



nako!!! nag sisisi talaga ako...

by the way... one question po...

NUNG DEC 09 TO JUNE 2010... naging connected din ako sa isang INDUSTRIAL CLINIC as a nurse...
will i still declare this? para kung sakali pag di nila ako approve... may pang fill sa months of my experience??

thanks po

kyle,

in my opinion lang, i don't think that declaring ur experience in an industrial clinic would do good to ur case...it might adversely affect (for me lang ha) coz u are giving FES more reason to question your documents, why you have not declared it beforehand in the documents you have submitted.

 

[silverfox]

ahhhh... oo nga po pala...

you have a point lola bash...

yung question ko po...

gagawa parin ba ako sarili kong explanation na ganito ganyan...
or sapat na po yung affidavit from the lawyer?

sa mga forumers po here, may marerecommend ba kayo magaling na lawyer?
yung kayang kaya suyuhin si "FES"... thank you po!

kyle,

In my opinion (again) i think that the affidavit of explanation should be signed by you...
In the documents i have submitted to the VO, whenver letters of explanation are necessary for any discrepancy whatsoever, my lawyer advises that I should sign it being the principal applicant. For instance, I was not able to present a contract of employment on one of my employers, and my lawyer advised that I should make a letter or affidavit of explanation signed by me and duly-notarized.

Maybe you could also secure an affidavit of explanation from the hospital and if possible from the patient or his family, to strengthen your claim and your stand on this matter.

I hope all goes well and will turn out favorable to you. Goodluck!

that was really informative silverfox...

and to all who gave their own piece...
ang pressure and stress right now, lagpas ulo na..
pero thru your support -> it's giving me a burst of encouragement and confidence...

sana po maging understanding si "FES" sakin...
i'll most probably weight all pros and cons now...

but first and foremost... i'll look for a lawyer who can help me out of this dilemma...
maraming maraming salamat po...

kanina ang dami ko pang doubts and questions, but now, it's making things clear for me...
thanks to all of you po...

gawin ko po lahat makakaya ko until this week.
monday ipapasa ko na lahat kasi inaguration pa ni ninoy sa june 30

SO HELP ME GOD...
