ah ok, may binigay ba sila amount sa additional bank statements na pina-submit nila? kasi EPF (employee provident fund) lang din sinubmit ko. I'm afraid na yung bulk ng pera ko andun sa EPF. hehe..

Buong amount. Sabi sa akin ng Visa Officer hindi daw accpetable yung Provident Fund as proof of funds. Eh haler! Pera ko yun eh, deducted sa sweldo ko. Pero syempre hindi yun ang sinabi ko hahaha ;D

Nagbigay ako ng Bank Statement at nagbigay ako ng napaka-bait at napaka-humble na Letter of Explanation kung bakit yung CPF and binigay ko sa kanila as may proof of funds.

Ayun ok naman hehe. Pero may isang Pinoy, I forgot who, nagemail sya sa SVO if accepted daw ang CPF, sabi naman oo daw basta lang sure na i-renounce yung pagkaresidente dito.

EPF mukhang walang problema yun.

Hi all I got ITA during February draw. I am supposed to complete submission of details by April 24th 2016. As I am pregnant during medical X ray was deferred. Is there any problem in applying for PR. Whether after delivery I can complete x ray and continue with processing by July 2016 after delivery or do i need to wait to get another ITA. My spouse's IELTS scores will expire by october 2016. validity of IELTS scores should be there till we land in Canada or till we apply. Pls help me by answering.

Well Chest X-Ray is a mandatory requirement for medical exam, but if you are pregnant, your doctor will recommend you to do it after the delivery. What I know they have a “Pregnancy Deferral Letter” that they give to pregnant patient to be included when you upload your medical report, and most importantly, you must include a Letter of Explanation to support your request. I think it's fine to go on with your application, but expect to have some delay on the processing, as you need to add your new born baby to be your dependent. For the IELTS, it should be valid during submission of application.

^ Oo, nagawa ko na yun. :) Pero depende rin minsan sa probinsya. Sa Manitoba at New Brunswick lang ang alam ko "frowned upon" ang multiple PNP applications na sabay. Pero OK lang sa CIC/IRCC ang ganoon.
salamat po sa sagot at least I know I am still in the right track. helpful po talaga ang forum na ito. Thanks din po @prcand :)

magka batchmate pala tayo :) eAOR din ako ng Feb.

well, di mo malalaman immediately kung sang VO ka unless icontact ka nila directly or mag request nung GCM notes ata. kaya wait muna tyo for now. nakaka inip nga eh hehe.

mas mabilis pang naproprocess yung Australia PR, parang one month lang may visa na. dito it could be months with zero communications. i guess this is what it takes to get the Canadian dream :)

hi there, I couldn't answer your question on SG PC.

however, with regards dun sa NBI, NBI renewal na gagawin mo kung meron ka na dati. there is online NBI, kaso dapat mag appearance ka padin. so what i did para di nako mamasahe pa pauwi ng pinas, i contacted Sandra from NBI Mail Division and asked if pwede ko iprocess yung renewal thru her. then I asked my mom para pumunta dun sa NBI Headoffice sa Taft 3rd floor, dala nya yung photocopies nung NBI clearance namin ng partner ko, pictures, authorization letter at ID nya. After 2 weeks nakuha na nya yung NBI clearance namin.

Medyo mapili lang talaga si Australia, walang shortcuts (i.e., province nominations that would surely fire up instant ITA 600 points vs 5 points sa OZ). And then ung skill assessments ay from professional body (eg, Australia Computer Society), kaya more or less it removes subjectivity from Visa Officers (pano naman kasi confidently ma-assess ng kunwari home economics background officer, ang qualification ng isang engineer?)

Hindi naman ako nababanas or naiinis, nagwo-wonder lang. Kasi later half of year pa naman plano ko lumipad. For the past two months, tinutukan ko closely both forums ng Australia and Canada. Mas positive and hopeful generally ang sentiments ng applicants dun sa OZ, compared sa generally anxiety mood ng mga Canadian applicants.

Hopefully birth pains lang eto ng EE, kasi medyo matagal narin kasi ung immigration process ni Australia kaya stable na siya. And within one month, maraming mga applicants may results na (approvals). Maximum processing time ay 3 months for all applications (hindi we will "try" to complete "majority" of the applications in 6 months).

And yes, hanggang ngayon hinihintay ko parin ung dakilang PPR. CIC, aannoo bbaa LOL

Hi Berabad!

Visa 189 ka ba sa Australia? Di ako pwede sa 189 kasi di ako maka 7 sa all module ng IELTS. Medyo na short ako kasi sa edad ko na 37 so 55 points lang ako. Umaasa ako sa VISA 190 ng NSW pero until now wala pa rin reply. Di ata nila ata need ang Chemical Engineer?

Buti na lang nakita ko ang SINP at nagbakasakali at baaaam na-invite ako ng Saskatchewan. Pero sa first trial ko incomplete docs ako kasi di ko gamay yung pag-aaply. Pero buti na lang binigyan ulit nila ako chance, kahit nakita ko na close na SINP submit pa rin ako kaya swerte na ina-accpet pa rin application ko.

Sana maging positive yung outcome ng application natin, keep me posted for your update. Halos magkabatch tayo pala.

Salamat!!!!! :D ;D ;) :)

Tanggap ko na, na hindi pwede mabawi ang 3,600AUD. Kasi upfront payment un before nila sisimulan ang application process. Pinatulan ko narin kasi peak score sa Australia (age less than 32, band 8 sa IELTS, etc). So it's now or never :)

Also, plan B ko rin siya if ever di ako papalarin sa Canada (career-wise) after 4 years, pwedeng lumipat sa OZ (of course, claim muna ng Canadian citizenship). LOL

Katakot no? Kaya paranoid kami nina @annpotpot (lalo na sa SG) mga ganitong bagay, kelangan walang internet footprint na kayang ma-trace sa real life mo LOL

Hi prcand!

Wow your so lucky to have a visa in Australia! ;D Ako nganga sa kakahintay ng Visa 190 ng NSW, nasa lowest point kasi ako at waiting for another 5 points sa NSW to have a 60points which is the minimum for NSW. Sad part is wala ata sila invite sa mga Engineers for that score.

Kaya ito, plan B ko aang Canada sana magkaigi na din. Let us just hope for the BEST!!! :D ;) :)
