Thanks, maharlika, jigjig, imbubbles!

We plan to land in BC and stay at our friend's rental in Abbotsford. Hopefully, we can find good work there otherwise, we're willing to transfer to any place where there's work for us.

Does the invitation to COA come with the visa? Can we register for COA without the invitation? We want to get it over with as soon as possible.
yes it will be included in ur visa package. you can register by emailing them... check the email at manila.gc.ca, look for the pre-departure seminars section. We were scheduled today but due to the bad weather we cancelled it. Next available dates are: Oct 27 and Nov 3..

you need an affidavit to explain the discrepancy. Hindi ko lang alam kung gaano kakumplikado ang procedure because it may be as simple as an explanation letter na ipanonotaryo mo... some kind of a sworn statement... to a more complicated procedure wherein you need a lawyer's assistance. Check threads related to your situation or you may create a new topic to solicit some pieces of advice.

Goodluck. God is good. Everything will be fine.
salamat abilex sa pagbigay ng iyong opinyon.subukan kong magtanong sa ibang thread.

fortunately for me, i dont need be assessed by iqas. SRNA do their own assessment of the applicants :) You're registering for manitoba, right? ask maharlika, she's applying to manitoba and she's required of iqas din...

teka, how much did u pay for iqas?

I just called IOM to register and I am tentatively registered for Nov 3, provided our visas arive before that date.

It took us about 2 months from when I sent my application to CIIP before I finally got a schedule. I takes that long because their schedules are not regular, they just renovated their office and they are upgrading from Canadian Immigration Integration Project to Canadian Immigration Integration Program with a different set of modules to be used.

It helped that I called and visited their office to get a schedule.
