Im scheaduled for PDOS june 30, sana dumating na ang visa bago ung date at ng hindi nako magpasched ulit.

HAILO and TABS,

nasa province ako ngayon, the only courier company dito samin is LBC and unfortunately, di sila nakakaabot samin kasi medyo malayo. What I did kanina, nagpadala anko ng passports, form amd pictures through LBC at inilagay ko sa form portion " address where passports can be returned through courier collect" is LBC branch dito sa province tapos binayaran ko na din pati ung fee pabalik and included inside the package an empty pouch na dapat paglagyan ng passports with visa tapos pick up ko nalang LBC. What did u guys do?how did u go about the courier collect? did u address it sa bahay?

Anyone can comment...thanks

i'm not an expert at this, but will attempt to help you. funds required for a family of three is $16,967 CAD, your previous two attempts would be the best option, usually if they are not satisfied, they will inform you of this matter but will not reject your application. as per my xperience w/ canadians, they are a very logical people. best of luck. :)

as long as you satisfy the 67 points required with a band score of 6, you do not need to re-take IELTS.
good luck on your filing. ;)

Hi guys!! read somewhere in the other forum that CHC/CIC are updating their IT system which will be resolved this June,
kaya daw medyo delayed, especially for those waiting ng medical requests. koreans and indians who applied April ay wala pa ring medical req., as well with London office at iba pa. haaaaay, buti na lang marami tayo nag-aabang. rain dance na para sa La Niña at umulan ng grasya!!! :p :p :p

hi am happy for you...this is a good omen for everybody, i guess the embassy is going back on their track.anyway, i actually submitted sa agent in manila.they asked for 100php for the courier daw.in your case, i really cant comment on that kasi siguro naman when they are sending docs naman siguro they will check if the courier can reach the address indicated.tapos karamihan pa sa nagsabi logistics are the one concern that an applicant is facing.tagal daw pag sa province pero dadating naman.

so i will be seeing you on June 30,tsk,tsk,tsk....same sched for PDOS.may airline ka na?we are scheduled for CIIP seminar on monday and tuesday...tapos magsimula na kogather docs na dadalahin ko.....hayyzz, char konti na lang....raindance pa....target ko pa rin mid-july....what about u??


goodluck,God bless

i guess who is right what is important is you achieve the 67 points or maybe better if mas mataas....sabi nila di naman bandscore tinitingana sa IELTS yunng Listenting yung first priority thenyung speaking....better check sa website.

goodluck,God bless..

The Canadian Embassy have all the rights to verify all documents submitted if they want to.
Of course they have every right to do so. That's a given.

My question is kung talagang tumatawag (eg if anyone knew someone who works in a bank that knows so..) at kung tumatawag, would they ask about the actual balance of the account or itatanong lang nila if the account truly exists. Because I 've been reading contradicting views (other forums) regarding this issue, maybe the seniors could shed some light. (the sundance tribe, anyone?)

from this forum none have claimed that somebody called from their respective banks....i spoke with the manager of our bank in makati and they never had experienced such inquiry as i was told. sabi pa nga nya karaniwan pag known commercial bank di na nagtatanung siguro daw (quote ko lang) yung mga rural daw.....goodluck..

CHAR,

Im so happy for you.... nabawasan ang mga kita ng mga eskwela dahil sa atin tatlo..heheheheh :p :p :p

About the courier, well I asked them to deliver it sa bahay namin... I still dont know how much its going to cost... concern ko nga kung ibibigay ba sa maid kung wala ako kahit may pambayad... hay, konti na lang guys...
like hailo, target is mid july but we are wait listed in 2 airlines for mid july and end of july... hirap kumuha ng booking...

so for now, lets all pray mabilis ang pagreturn ng mga STAMPED passports natin... ;D ;D

still tons of things to do and tidy up before we leave... but with Gods grace, everything will be in its right place...=)
