For PINOY: About Express Entry Application. Share your idea!

[warquezho]

@ronster and reivax,

Tama ba pag kakaintindi ko na pag may ITA na ay:

1. Need mag pa medical at bayaran na agad sa ospital ito.
2. Pag kumpleto na ang requirements ay need na bayaran ang payment sa "application" sa express entry profile via CC. Yung bayad ba sa application ay kasama na dun yung bayad sa PR (RPRF)?

So

1. Payment sa medical, di na ma rerefund if ma deny or binawi ang ITA?
2. Payment sa application, di na rin ma rerefund if ma deny or binawi ang ITA?
3. Payment sa RPRF, pwede pa ma refund pag denied ang application or binawi ang ITA?

How much usually ang medical?
How much usually ang application?
How much usually ang rprf?

Tapos tama ba yung pag kakaintindi ko na sabay yung application fee payment sa rprf payment?
Meron pa bang mga need na bayaran aside sa mga nasabi ko?

Non refundable ang medicals at application fee kahit pag rejected.
Ang RPRF ay babayaran kapag may passport request for visa stamping. Refundable lang ito if the applicant decides to cancel their PR visa.
Medical = 8k per person for basic, plus additional if TB/sputum test requested (if chest x-ray has scarring or nodules, etc.)
App fee = cad $550 each for PA and spouse, $150 each for dependent children
RPRF= cad $490 each for PA and spouse, waived for dependent children
If bagsak pa rin ang CAD vs Php, it's cheap.

In addition to this, under EE System , for the RPRF, either you pay upfront (together with application fee) or during RPRF Request which typically happens at least 2 months from your AOR (average for outland).

HI All,

Question lang po, mas ok po ba mag apply to canada thru agency or sarili sikap na lang po.

THanks

Take it from me. DIY ka na lang. Search my username sa threads.

FSW 2014 applicant ako pero I used a consultant before dahil busy din talaga ko. Bandang huli rejected sa reason na missing docs na binigay ko naman lahat sa consultant with receiving copy pa yun.

Basahin mo lang threads dito ok ka na, DIY na ginawa ko under EE system. Tanong ka lang. Willing to help

+1 sa DIY, hindi assurance ang agency na matatabggap application mo, binabayaran mo lang sila sa time na masasave mo kesa ikaw maghahanap sa website ng cic at magbabasa

@Belaluna and Gabana,

Medyo na gets ko na, at nakita ko rin sa website ng CIC yung payments. Is it safe to assume na pag may RPRF request na ay pasado kana sa screening ng documents na pinasa mo? Ito ba yung stage na hihingin na nila yung Passport mo?

Tapos isa pang question. Aside sa spouse, pwede mo ba isama sa application ang siblings ng PA or ng Spouse? Medyo malabo kasi yung nasa website ng CIC, nakalagay kasi FAMILY MEMBERS, ewan ko kung anak lang ba ito or applicable sa siblings o kaya parents.

Tama sina bellaluna at Gabbana though sa akin around 5500 lang medical ko.

Sinasabi nila na pag may rprf request ka almost sure na raw yun pero hindi pa rin ganon ka guaranteed. Pero nakalagay naman as letter na eligible ka at may additional checking na lang silang gagawin. Pag ok ka, bibigyan ka na nila ng ppr at dun hihingin ang passport mo.

As far as i know, sa ee dependents lang ang pwede isama meaning children. Pag may pr ka na saka mo sila pwede ipetition. Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[bellaluna]

^ Yup, yung pwedeng counted lang as "family members" ay spouse/common law partner at dependent children. It's best to include them in your PR application. Hindi parents/siblings/cousins/uncles/etc. May specific case na pwedeng mag-sponsor ng relatives under Family Class, but it's hard to meet.

May prueba na ako na posibleng makatanggap ng higit sa isang provincial nomination sa Express Entry. Nakatanggap na ako ng nomination ng Ontario matapos kong i-decline yung nomination ng Saskatchewan. So pareho silang nakalista sa EE profile ko hehehe.

Same kami ng medical fee P5,500. Sa IOM Makati ako nag medical upfront.

About sa petition, tama sagot ng mga kabayan sayo

Tip lang sa wala pa nag pa medical. If may option kayo to either go to IOM or St Lukes.. piliin nyo St. Lukes sa Global City.
I had experience from both clinics and my experience in IOM is horrible. Aside from needing to call them for appointment, the whole process took whole day and I had to go from one floor to another at sobra dami tao.

Fast forward nag expire na Medical for SOWP ko, had to do another medical for PR application i tried St Lukes. It was night and day. Punta kami ng anak ko sa afternoon as walk-in. They do not do appointments. We were able to finish both upfront medical on that same afternoon.

 

[Gabbana]

ApplicabLe po ito sa FSW Outland. Tayo naman pInakamatagal na processing...

Here's my own monitoring (data retrieved from May-June outland applicants):

Average stats

AOR-PPR 4.44 months or 133 days
RPRF-DM 1 month
RPRF-PPR 1.8 months or 53 days

AOR-PPR seems to be more reliable as trending shows that they process 80% of applications based on AOR date. For applicants like me who paid RPRF upon request, it's just an early holiday gift if we can get PPR by 1.8 months from RPRF request

That was surely a bad experience. Based on pinoy threads, both health centers have positives and negatives

Ako naman baliktad. I had an appointment sa IOM. I went there at 9am while I finished all the tests by 11:45am (tanda ko pa!). Pinabalik ako 1:30pm dahil lunch time daw. Bumalik ako 12:45pm. Good thing na may front desk na nagwork kahit lunch break I got the results immediately

OK! Yung relatives ko sa St. Luke's Global din, tapos sabi nila sa akin na 8k doon. I think I'll go on a weekday so there's fewer people compared to a weekend.

Weekdays lang po ata both St Luke's and IoM pag medical related to applicants like us...
