hello po! pasensya na guys now lang naka balik sa forum. hinde ko pa magawang mag backread from the last time na nag log-in ako here! super busy at hinde pa masyadong nakaka bawi sa puyat at pagod. mabilisan lang ang viewing sa fb minsan kase dame pa dapat ayusin at lakarin, hinde na petiks unlike before.
regarding our flight last Tuesday, thank GOD! we reached safe and sound, wala naman naging aberya sa immigration naten i just presented our passports and tickets wala ng ibang hinanap na documents familiar na sila sa type ng visa naten, then tinanong lang ako kung ako mommy ng anak ko magka-iba kase kame ng surname :) naging problema ko lang ang baby ko sa una, kase naghabulan kame sa terminal2 airport lawak kase akala nya playground hehe, buti nalang maaga kame nag check-in at may nag-assist sa aken naawa kase, para makapag-fill up ng embarkation form ba-un?? not sure sensya na tapos bayad ng terminal fee then sa immigration na nga.... adventure talaga ang byahe nameng dalawa, pero pag dating sa plane puro tulog lang ang ginawa kaya hinde ako nagka-problema sa kanya. Bago mag land ang plane may form na binibigay ang mga attendant kase yun yung ipi-present mo immigration some personal info at mga bagay na may kinalaman sa items ng bagahe mo, mahigpit kase sila sa pagpasok ng mga dairy & meat products and may certain amount lang ng dame. Sa vancouver airport naman medyo mahaba at pasikot sikot ang lalakarin pero susundan mo lang naman ung mga tao and they will tell you anong carousel no. mo kukunin yung bagahe but before that dadaan ka muna sa initial interview nagkataon madameng naka-pila pero maraming counter and may counter dedicated para sa new immigrant, new students, new worker. Tinanong ako why are you here? did you bring any meat products, are you staying here for good? then may sinulat lang sa forms na finill-up ko then i was instructed to get my luggage first then proceed to immigration para sa processing ng WORK PERMIT i gave all the copies of my hubbies papers and yun na. madali lang sya guys natagalan lang ako sa pila kase dameng mga mexicanang workers na nauna at bagong dating din buti nakisama anak ko, antok pa that time at hinde ako nahirapan and hwag kayo dun sa new immigrant pumila pag process ng WO, dun kayo sa may right side kase ako naligaw hehehe. after nun diretso na sa check-in ng mga bagahe for our local flight. at dahil 7hrs. ang waiting time (yes 7hrs. :( ) wala kameng ginawa ng anak ko kundi mag paikot ikot at magpabalik balik sa umaandar na lane para lang malibang sya kase super kulit unstoppable sya. :) pasensya na guys medyo hinde ata maganda pagkaka sulat ko ng post hehehe medyo lutang padin ako.. pero super sarap ng feeling na magkakasama na kame and i'm sure l;ahat tayo ma i experience yan in our own time, in GOD's perfect time, nga pala mag-start na ako ng work sa monday, sa subway :)

ynoweh, nigella, ate milleth, annz i have this feeling next week uulan na ng visa kaya be ready to experience the great blessings of GOD. Kita kits tayo dito ha... miss you all!!!
congrats po! goodluck po sa new work!

Hello fellow Pinoys! I'm a newbie here. I'm a pharmacist in BC, just started working last month and my family is still in the Phils. I just heard of SOWP from a friend 2 days ago and went to the internet agad to read more on it sakto I bumped into this forum. Thank God and thank you all for your inspiring stories and helpful insights!

Question lang mga bros and sis,
a) pwede na ko mag-apply ng study permit for my 5 year old son diba? Nabasa ko sa bced.gov.bc.ca na kindergarten na yung 5 y/o but I want to confirm if anyone of you has done it.
b) kelangan bang ienrol ko na siya sa isang school dito? kasama ba yun sa requirements for study permit?
c) magkasama ba yung application ng little boy and hubby ko or separate? si hubby kasi SOWP at si little boy study permit. how do I show them na they're leaving at the same time and accompanying each other?

Pasensya na kayo if ever naulit na yung mga questions ko. Promise I tried my best na magback read but I can only do so much dahil may work din ako hehe..

Thanks so much in advance! Have a nice weekend everyone!

hi sis!! thanks2 a lot...so happy din kame talaga.. dumating kame ni hubby dito sa Edson kaninang 9pm kasi naglibot and nagshopping galore kanin sa West Edmonton Mall.. ang saya kasi halos lahat (well actually 95% ang naka-sale!) dame namin nabili..hehe ;D and ayaw pa pumasok ni hubby..maglalakwatsa daw kame ng bongga...happiness talaga! Thank God!!
anyway sa question mo sis wala naman hinanap sakin...as in! ung passport and ung letter from the embassy lang ang hiningi nila then konting questions like anu magiging work mo dito, anu work ni hubby mo, and til kelan pa si hubby mo dito.. pero be sure na dala mo lahat ng alam mong important docs, like oec, wp ni hubby, contract, nd lmo... pero i dont think titignan pa nila yun kasi lahat sila familiar na sa visa natin!!
sis, konting tiis na lang... happiness na din kayong family! malapit na malapit. a ;)

Hi snowflurry!!! Welcome.... ;D ;D ;D ;D

a) pwede na ko mag-apply ng study permit for my 5 year old son diba? Nabasa ko sa bced.gov.bc.ca na kindergarten na yung 5 y/o but I want to confirm if anyone of you has done it.

5 ½ na si little boy ko, and yes, study permit na inapply namin sa kanya...

b) kelangan bang ienrol ko na siya sa isang school dito? kasama ba yun sa requirements for study permit?

No need because Student Visa/Dependent ang category.

c) magkasama ba yung application ng little boy and hubby ko or separate? si hubby kasi SOWP at si little boy study permit. how do I show them na they're leaving at the same time and accompanying each other?

Separate. Sa forms na you need to fill-out, may mga questions dun kung sino kasama mag-travel.

Just ask if you need clarifications.. We're all willing to assist you... Good luck, sis... :) ;D :D
