hi! base sa mga previous post ng mga sis natin ngk-visa na...
YES, W1 (worker) ang nakalagay sa visa...
wala pang work permit ibibigay ang CEM (sa airport po kasi, hindi ka pa naman pipila sa OFW lane, sa VISITOR'S LANE ka po muna).. sa vancouver ata yun ibibigay...
yung OEC (Overseas Employment Certificate) ng hubby mo, kahit ata yung photocopy lang ipakita mo sa Immigration Officer ok na.. color green yun na galing sa POEA..

hope this help!... you can try to backread some previous post to confirm and to learn more... dont worry, mejo matagal pa naman yung flight mo, you still have time to prepare ok..
GOD bless!

Hello mga KaForumers,

Just want to share my entry to Canada experience,

We received our visa (SOWP + Study permit for 2 kids) last July 14, we got direct flight via PAL to Prince Ruper, BC last July 31.

@ NAIA 2 - checked in PAL counter, agent provided me boarding pass for Vancouver and Prince rupert (Air Canada JAzz -domestic plane)
advised me to proceed to Immigration. Sabi nung PAL agent, ihanda ko daw ung documents na binigay ng emabassy just in case hanapin sa immigration.

@ Phil Immigration - pumila kami sa tourist, just provided our passport, saka ung embarkation form na fill upan namin prior sa pagpila, and the papers from CEM. all the 3 passports were given to the Immi officer, NO QUESTIONS asked. tiningnan lng mga papel then, tinatakan na ung passport. then punta na kmi ng boarding gates...

@ Vancouver airport - go straight to custom's clearing. pila uli sa VISITORS line. marami naman filipino doon...basta wag ka sasama sa new immigrants ng line. ang haba ng pila kaya dapat min of 3 hours bago ung next flight mo.
- i provided our passports, docs from CEM and i told him that i have with me letter from my husband's employer stating we are expected to arrive on July 31 and advised them to contact the employer should they need further infos or if there any concern regarding our arrival in Canada
custom officer asked me
(1) kung saan daw kami pupunta at
(2) ano status ng husband ko sa canada and
(3) ano ang visa/status ko and my kids
(4) kung may dala akong dairy, meat, commercial gadgets, etc - sabi ko "NONE", but i decalre na may dala akong mangoes ang peanuts, sabi ng officer ok lng daw un, no problem.
(5) may idedecalre daw ba akong money - sabi ko none
(6) check again our docs and stamped our passports and embarkation form. Officer advised us to get our luggages and proceed to immigration right in front of luggage conveyor.

@ Immigration Canada - pila sa work/study line. ang haba ng pila, most are pinoys. just wait for our turn. i was praying so hard na sana mabait ung officer na matapat samin. kasi yung iba ang tagal nila as pinaghihintay sila, meron nauna sakin pinay na nahold yata sya. kinakabahan ako, now turn na namin...girl na hitsurang bumbay ang nag assist samin. i greeted her, then provided all docs..passports, CEM docs, and the letter from my husband's employer and his bank statement in Canada

- i prepared all docs, baka kasi hingin, ung docs ng hubby ko. our bank statement sa pinas. pero di naman hiningi.
- binasa nya ung mga docs and employers letter, then asked me when is your husband WP expiry. told her, Sept 14...but his employer renew his contract and about to apply for extension. Then she told me, ok..i'll just give you Open work permit and study permit until Sept 14. you just apply for extension when your apply for his new WP. Hindi kinausap ang mga anak ko, as wala masyado tinanong sa amin. She just printed our WP and attached it to our passports.
- Since i was dianosed with Inactive PTB, my passport has attachment - the Medical surveillance form, officer told me that i have to contact Provincial Health Officer. Tinanong kung tama yung address ko dun sa medical surveillance form. then pinirmahan na nya ung form. and that's the last step.
We proceeded to our domestic flight - AIr Canada counter.

And we arrived safely in the beautiful Prince Rupert. Happy now coz buo na kmi at smooth lahat from Phils to Prince Rupert.

Thank you so much Lord!

Working part time na ako as cook sa resto ng hubby ko. may fulltime work na inooffer sa convenience store pero di ko pa matanggap kasi di pa nagstart pasok ng mga bata, baka magkaconflict sa schedule nila. Happy to share with you above infos...goodluck to all of you...keep in touch!

God bless everyone...

hello and happy new year to everyone! :) pasensya na po now lang ulit nakapagbukas ng thread, medyo busy hehe ;D

@ ate melay - yes, W-1 po ung visa ko. ung passport with visa and ung letter from CEM lang ung ibinalik sa kin along with the original documents that I sent. wala pa po ung work permit. ang work permit, sa Vancouver ibibigay. ang ipapakita po sa Philippine immigration bago kayo lumabas ng boarding gate is ung passports nyo, embarkation forms (ung binibigay ng airline upon checkin) and ung OEC ni hubby mo. OEC (OFW Exit Clearance if I'm not mistaken hehe) is ung receipt galing POEA, you need to ask a copy from your hubby kasi dala nya yan nung umalis sya. Kahit scanned copy will do. And yes, sa VISITORS' lane ka pipila, wag sa OFW lane or else hahanapan ka talaga hehehe. pagdating ng Vancouver, pila ka sa Customs, sa New Immigrants, Work and Study Permits lane. after nito get your luggages first, then iwan mo sa may Information booth then the receptionist will direct you to proceed to Immigration. dun iissue ung work permit mo and study permit ng anak nyo. after that go home na to your final destination :).

@ ate ianovy - medical exam sa St. Luke's is P4,400 sa adult, P1,250 sa bata 10 yrs old and below ata. san ka po papamedical? If sure ka naman po na wala kang sakit, St. Luke's na lang para mabilis ang forward ng result :). Konting tyaga lang po sa waiting time sa mismong medical exam kc medyo matagal sya, tipong 1 whole day kang andun. Better go there early and if possible, Thurdays or Fridays para konti lang ang tao. hope that helps! :)

as for now, nakapag-apply na rin po kami ng daughter ko ng health card - dependent kami ng health card ni hubby. nagstart na rin ako ng job hunting although holiday pa dito kahapon hehehe. ung school where we plan to enroll ung daughter ko is sa Jan 9 pa daw magrereopen so next week na kami mag-iinquire. Eto, tambay tambay muna sa bahay, mag-aayos pa ng mga dala naming gamit kc last week halos lagi kaming nasa ibang bahay at gala hehe. then mag-aaral na rin para sa learners exam habang wala pang work :).

good luck po sa lahat ng mga waiting :).

Just an update: My hubby called CPC Vegreville Call Center 1-888-242-2100 two (2) days ago. He pressed his Client ID and year of birth, and the automated voice recording had this message: "We have received your application on Sept. 30. Your application for work permit has been APPROVED (praise GOD!!!) ;D ;D. The document was issued on December 14, 2011"

But, we noticed that there's no validity date... Unlike before, may sinasabi na validity... Bakit kaya? hmmmm. I hope there's nothing to worry about.. Kaya lang po 2-3 weeks pa bago mareceive ang copy ng work permit at ipapadala sa Consultant. Pero imagine, 1 1/2 months ang sabi samin na waiting time, kinulit ko si hubby na tawag tawagan (kasi inside Canada lang makakontak), ayun 2 weeks may update na, thanks to ate milleth for the advice before and of course, kay Lord db kasi super bait talaga Nya... And regarding sa application namin ng son ko, it's exactly 1 month na.. I suspect that the VO is actually waiting for my hubby's WP.. Di bale po, lahat may purpose.... Ayun nga po db, bigla nalang April or May pa kami pwede umalis kahit maissue visa ng mas maaga (hopefully ;D).... Wish ko lang hintay hintay pa si VO at wag mainip sa WP ni hubby... :'( ;D

God is really good sis... keep the faith... Happy new year.... thanks for always liking my post in fb...
I miss all of you guys... Keep posting... God bless.. :D ;)
