Thank you for the help, bellaluna :)

So pag wala sa indemand list ng job sa mga provinces, hindi pwedeng mag submit ng EoI pra sa PNP nomination?
Also if ever nakareceive ng ITA before mabawasan ng 1point ung 67 - say before ako magbirthday, iconsider pa ren nila ang application or mareject un? Sorrry worried lang hehehe.

Thanks a lot po...
Better to check applicatiom guide for each province po. Yes, minsan may specific na NOC's silang hinahanap and minsan din hindi ka makakapagsubmit ng EOI, instead wait for the province to invite you to submit your application (OINP).

Ang alam ko pag nakareceive ka na ng ITA locked na yung score mo. So ibig sabihin non pag nag birthday ka after receiving ng ITA hindi na mababawasan ang score mo.

God bless sa applicatiom mo.

Hi, sa sched A personal history included ba yung travel history kahit 3 days lang bakasyon sa work? Dba iba yung travel form noh?
Yeah, prcand is right, no need kung short travel sa Schedule A personal history, if you were continuously employed naman during this travel period. I did it this way for my relative whom I represented for FSW 2014 na may maraming short travels siya in 10 years, pero continuously employed naman.

@ mauie: to add to what gemskipots said, yung pinaka safe is that the lock-in date is upon submission of APR (i.e. date of AOR), but I read sa CIC site na officers are instructed to consider eligibility in spite of points loss due to age, if the birthday falls in between the ITA and APR submission.

Tama yan ang content ng coe. Yung sa passport, oo kelangan yung stamps. Alam ko pag expired no need to show. May details naman dun na hihingi ng travel history mo. Pero kung isasama mo naman, ok lang. Kung hindi mo isasama, make sure to include sa loe kung bakit wala yung copy ng stamps.

Advice ko lang, lahat ng dpat nyong iexplain, include it sa loe. Yun lang ang way para maexplain nyo lahat ng pinaglalagay. Make sure na clear lahat at well explained. Marami na rin ang nareject kasi kulang/hindi clear ang explanation.
gemskipots said:
Include bonuses and benefits din sa Letter of Experience if possible.

Sa stamps sa passports I made sure lang na mailagay lahat ng stamps na nakaindicate sa valid passport ko. Yung expired hindi na. Kasi maduduling na ako pag nilagay ko lahat dahil super dami naming short trips sa mga kapitbahay namin like Malaysia and Indonesia. :)
prcand said:
Agree ako dito sa stamps! Kasi nag error ung eATR ko dahil "exceeded number of records"! Haha.

So inexplain ko sa LOE bakit di kasya, pero nag attach din ako ng separate paper for ALL travels (yes, duling na duling ako dito) =))

At the end of the day, it makes sense kasi way din nila para malaman whether nag 6 months ka ba sa isang country (police clearance!) or pumunta ka sa high risk areas (Syria? Iraq?).
Ah ok sige, yung sa valid nalang, pag expired hindi na, wala na kasi ako copy nun passport na yun at travel history, unless tawagan ko cebu pacific at humingi kopya which is napaka hassle hehe.

About naman sa mga nasa SG, diba kasi di na need stamp passport natin, swipe swipe nalang, pano niyo ginawa yung stamp nun? Or di niyo na sinabi since sa SG naman nag work at may PCC naman dito? Or PR Card, EP/Spass card ang pinakita niyo with multiple entry? Or OEC? Ano po hehe?

Sabi nga nila, hindi naman daw issue yun. Hopefully nga. Grabe medical ang mahal, inabot ako ng mga 12k kasama vaccine. They had me screened with hepa pa because I am a nurse.

Triple checking ginagawa ko ngayon ksi baka may ma miss out ako. Like sa IELTS, buti tinignan ko, may isang letter sa reference number na mali pagkakaencode ko last month. Mahirap na. Isusubmit ko na to by 10 am hahaha.
Nurse po ba kayo at ikaw po ba primary applicant sa inyo (if married na kayo)?

Hello po,

Just want to share my progress so far:
EE created: Nov 6, 2015
OINP Interest: Nov 7, 2015
Application arrived in Ontario: Nov 18, 2015
OINP AOR: ?
OINP Nomination: ?
ITA: ?

Sana ma-nominate agad in 3 months para umabot ang IELTS ko na mageexpire sa May 17, 2016.
Do you guys think it is possible for me to finish the process before IELTS expires? As far as I know, once na masubmit ang docs after CIC ITA, good na ang IELTS.
Thanks. God bless us all!
Aircanada21, ask ko lang ano NOC niyo? Bilis ng OINP senyo ah. First time created ba yan o re-create?

guys, question sa mga galing SG na and2 na sa pinas and ngrequest ng Singapore Police Clearance.

nung ngpafingerprint ba kau sa NBI, ni.forward pa ba nila sa DFA? yan kasi sabi sa akin sa NBI main branch taz dun ko na daw kunin yung fingerprint form before isubmit sa SG. ang release date pa naman is after 2 weeks+, not sure if dahil na rin sa apec kasi holiday sa govt agencies during that time. i'm just wondering why may ganitong pang process. if may kumuha na ng SG police clearance dito, please share naman. thanks!

Yung travel history is for places (or countries) that are neither your home country nor your current residence. So meaning, pwede i-exclude both travel dates for SG and PH.

so, nakausap ko kamag anak ko dun recently. sabi nila, wag daw ako chill masyado kahit bata pa ako. mas maaga mag-uproot, mas mabuti para mas mabilis mag settle down. grabe, pressure!

gemskipots said:
Good to hear that! Siguro single and bata ka

So pagka apruba ng VISA balak ko umalis na agad
at the risk of sounding mapanglait, sobrang dami kasi nila at mas "desperado" umalis (just to make it clear, sila ang nagsabi neto [^1] at hindi galing sa akin). kaya nga raw mas mabilis mag cap ung IT occupations dahil sa kanila. example last FSW2014, pinaka-unang NOC na naubos ang slot ay 2171 (which is NOC ko) and after 1 month lang ha. ung ibang NOCs, ay di napuno even after 6 months hanggang matapos FSW 2014.

neither flaming nor judging, kundi stating facts lang based on government statistics and admission na nila mismo.

Hello All,

Does anyone here know when SINP Express entry and In-demand sub category will reopen in January?

Also, anung difference between the two categories aside sa ang isa ay kelangan ng ee profile? When I read the guide mukang same ata lahat ng criteria. I can qualify in both categories but not sure which one is better in terms of processing turn around time, at iba pang factors.

Salamat!

SINP Express Entry is done everything online. It primarily is to supplement CIC's Federal Express Entry. Meaning, you can surely get 600 points once nominated AND expected to complete entire process of getting PR after AOR within 6 months.

SINP In Demand Sub-Category, is the old system. That is, paper-based.

I wrote a detailed post sa PNP forum pero di ko na mahanap.
Yung difference ay EE kailangan pasado ka pa rin sa FSW.
Sa OID kahit bagsak ka sa FSW, basta nasa in demand occupation ka, kahit na 4 ka lang sa IELTS, OK lang.

Mahilig sa surprise announcements ang SINP. No one knows when they will open for sure. When they announce they're open, dun lang sila open. Pabilisan lang sa SINP. Record sila na filled yung cap within 24 hours. Akala ko dati nung paper based pa, record na yung 3 days ubos ang cap.

Thanks Bellaluna and prcand. Nakaabang nako this time kasi nung twice nag reopen last Sept and Nov yung dalawang programs nasaraduhan ako hindi ko akalaing ganun kabilis mapuno.

So looks like mas magandang mag apply sa express entry nila since may EE naman ako? Anyway both categories naman has the same in demand list of occupations so I guess it doesn't matter if choose their ee over the other category.

Thanks sa inputs

Yup, mukhang mas mabilis din ang processing nila sa EE stream, tapos obviously, as prcand pointed out, mas mabilis pa yung PR application. :)
Hindi rin pwedeng ipagsabay yung 2 applications sa SINP-EE at OID.
Also you have to pass the SINP scoring. I know nga yung mga IT NOCs nasa in demand list sa SINP.
Kayang-kaya naman gawin lahat yan in a few hours (which I did) kaya as soon as it reopens, go na. Mas mabilis din response time nila kesa NS.
Historically, may tendency din mag-open ang SINP sa January.
