FILIPINOS Applying for FSW Page.

[johndees]

Hi dear, this might help you


;D

Thanks also gcctocanada for the link. Im just starting my application and I hope Id be included in the 1st 1000 of noc1122. A road block is my fbi clearance which i just applied for. I was informed that it would take 9 weeks to secure the clearance. good luck to you in canada.

Share ko lang.. I have tried to look for there.. pero dahil may changes sa immigration rules, inuuna yung local nila.. pag wala silang makuhang local that's the only time na kukuha sila outside.. pero the employer would need to get approval pa from an office ( i forgot the name)..

I went to Vancouver last May on a tourist visa.. Tried to apply pero all I got was they needed someone that can work legally in Canada.. Even if I indicated na i have pending FSW application..

with that in note, im assuming it would be easier if the visa is already issued. how's the IT market?

And when you're already living in Canada legally. They won't hire you on any regulated jobs or any higher post on any job unless you have a Canadian working experience. Galing noh! ;D

First six months natin doon siguro kumukuha tayo ng order wehehehe ;D

Canadian Embassy is in Makati.. RCBC building.. Along ayala avenue.. But i must warn you na sa Ayala may Loading and unloading area.. so pag bumaba kayo sa unloading area, kailangan nyo pa mag-underpass ng 2 bago makarating ng RCBC.. Unless mag-taxi kayo then sa RCBC building mismo kayo bababa.

Good Luck!

thanks for the heads up.. really appreciate it...

hi isysy. same noc tayo. have you tried looking for work there na? or meron ka ng waiting dun?

hi, i'm looking pa rin pa. sending resumes online, talked to some via magicjack.
i have a couple of scheduled interviews when i get there - but none of those are managerial, i wish to start low muna. hopeful naman kami ng wife ko to get a work there, kahit isa lang sa amin muna. both of us are active on our careers.

i also hope my certifications will help me there. if it worked for the Visa Office, it might also work for employers

thankful ako sa lahat ng mga taong nagbigay ng information sa forum. malaking tulong talaga.
to others who are in the process of applying, here are my random tips:

1. in some NOC like 0213 (previously), cooks, chefs, plumber, etc. you don't have to be a college graduate - preferred but not required, I guess. konti lang ang points but you can make it up sa IELTS.

2. even if you have been denied tourist visa before, you can still flawlessly apply. I was stunned during the interview for a US tourist visa. the visa officer denied me a tourist visa but he recommended me to apply as an immigrant to the US. I told him, sorry but I don't like to live permanently in your country. sabay talikod! come to think, I was not eligible for tourist, but for immigration pwede? I got denial din dati after applying for canadian tourist. Actually, this what motivated me and my wife to apply for FSW kasi grabeh yung disappointment noong denied (last 2008) ng tourist both for US and Canada.

3. proof of funds kahit na naka "OR" yung time deposit with your name and a name of another person (not your spouse, but kung kanino ka nag borrow), basta malaki laki lang yung amount, pumasa!

4. basta mag ask si doctor if you have this?, if you have that?, do you do... ?, just say NO. The doc did not ask my wife if she has cysts or something but when the doctor asked her to open up, she then told him immediately about it... hinipo talaga, buti nalang sabi ni doc "looks benign" and it is! pinatanggal talaga nga namin right after sending the passports. awa ng dyos, after the biopsy - benign nga talaga! thank you Lord!

5. IT-related vendor certifications helped.

6. they honor stocks/bonds as settlement funds. yung sa aking naka indicate sa isang letter that once i resigned from my work, the company will give me $x,xxx for my stocks. In my case i presented a certificate holding a US privately-held company stocks. I believe that helped as well. -- but parang yari yata sa CBSA, problema ngayon eh yung last day ko is the day before the flight.

7. be extra careful on what you write sa form. we paid the price on this heavily when my wife - who stayed only for 5 months in the US, back to PH for a few months, then another 5 months ulit, bago bumalik sa PH... wrote that the entire time she was in the US, staying for 1.5 years! buti nalang hindi sila nag hanap ng travel papers, FBI lang yung hinanap! nag comply lang kami, ayos!

8. if you have been to Japan, you can apply for a Japan Police Clearance even if you don't have a demand letter from the visa office yet. You can e-mail the Canadian visa office after the AOR and once they reply back that they require you nga, you can show that e-mail printout to the Japan consulate/embassy and hopefully they will grant it. a month or so, they'll give you the clearance as gratis.

9. employment certificates kahit na for the recent years lang, ayos nah. the employment certificate under that NOC must be submitted. In my case 10 years IT experience, I only submitted 6 years from the present company im working where 3 years lang sa NOC 0213. I did not bother to include the previous employments because it is not related to 0213. binangit ko lang sa form. but no employment cert - close na yung company eh, yung may-ari ay si airmats ko.

10. binalik lahat ng docs maliban sa bank certs. lahat maliban sa certificates/diploma ay may butas.

11. they don't call any of the banks or the employers.

those are my random tips. i have more, but i need to finish this up kasi i need to compose a resignation letter pa. One for me and one for my wife. =)

hindi pa rin ako makatulog ngayon nandito na visa namin... the anxiety of waiting for the visa is over, but the actual migration thing is getting into my nerves!!!

Thanks!

For those who are heading to Vancouver B.C. and will be acquiring a driver's license , read this link. It will provide you with what to bring like International Driver's License and a certification from LTO that you have been driving for a certain number of years.

Wow isysy thank you sa pag share ng mga valuable lessons and experiences. I can relate to the US visa denial. 3x times na ako na deny. (2x in 1998 dahil newly graduate ako while the most recent one is this last march lng). I was hurt but I told myself maybe tourist visa is no longer for me because Im meant for an immigrant visa..Sana nga mag approve at maka sama sa 1000 per NOC

Thanks again for sharing.

MERON AKO NEWS. i don't know if i should be happy or not, the canadian embassy just called me a few minutes ago, and they are scheduling us for an interview this july 26 at the embassy. my situation is, we are applying as a common-law with my girlfriend... my concerns are:


1. where is canadian embassy? im from cebu so i presume its in manila but where exactly?
2. what could be the reason why we will be undergoing an interview?
3. what could be possible questions during the interview?
4. should we carry more documents? or whatsoever?

please help... in nervous and anxious about this

may alam akong ganyan din ang case.. He applied with a CLP and was also called for an interview last March. The questions revolved around the authenticity of the CLPship... They were asked too if they applied with an agency... Then they were asked to provide additional docs to prove their claim... After naman na napass nila yung additional docs, mga 1 wk or 2, binigay na MR nila.. Basta prove nyo lang na totoo na CLP kayo...

hope this helps

Hello po.

Ask lang po ako ng help please.

Ask ko po sana kung pwede na ba ang marriage certificates ng father in law ko (since my husband is the principal) and nang tito nya na permanent resident ng Canada as proof of relationship with a Canadian? Apart from the Canadian passport and the likes lang po.

Also, how do we get the market appraisal of our mortgaged condo (sa pagibig) and our cars (fully paid)?

Thanks po ;D
