Hi! Ang sinend ko na employment cert ni hubby dun sa employer nya lang ngayun. Wala ako sinend na mga philhealth or sss. Siguro mga proof na lang ng relationship mo isend mo since common law kayo like if may joint account kayo, pictures, letters, emails, cards, remittances, etc. Dun sa details of intended work, nilagay ko lng sa name of employer, duration of employment, etc. UNKNOWN. Kasi wala pa naman tayo employer. Hindi ko lang alam kung ganun din ginawa nung iba. Basta pag vinalidate mo yung form, yung mga naka red dapat may entry. Yung passport mo, kasama talaga. ;)

@ col.fox

Wow! Congrats! Sabay pala tayo naissuehan ng visa, hehe. Sa Monday naman alis namin. Kinakabahan ako baka maligaw kami sa airport, hehehe. Have a safe trip! God bless! :D

ganun po ba? :) thank you po! :) atleast nagka idea po ako kung ano ilalagay ko sa application form. :) salamat po ulit. Ingat po ang congrats! ^_^

hello guys hindi na kailangan mgPDOS ang may spousal open work permit..

wala tayo contract from any employer and we should not fall in line in the OFW lane.. treat yourself as tourist lang.. so you should pay the terminal fee and travel tax

tapos sa immigration pagalis sa naia pakita nyo lng lage ang letter.. in my experience yung PAL kiniquestion ako kung bakit hindi ako ngPDOS sabi ko spousal visa yan hindi work permit although nakasulat sa mismong visa naten na dinikit nila ay "WORKER" ok naman lhat nakadating naman ako ng canada ng walang aberya

tapos pagdating sa port of entry usually vancouver airport dun ka issuehan ng work permit

no need for PDOS
@enyale

thanks sa info sis. no need to go to OWWA din?

Makikisagot ako ng tanong ha, sis. OWWA ang nagbibigay ng PDOS dun sa mga under ng agency. POEA nagbibigay ng PDOS for those workers directly hired. Tapos yung iba like CFO ang alam ko para sa immigrants. Clarify ko lang.. lahat kami nila enyale and faithyou hindi kami nagPDOS kasi direct kami nag apply ng SPousal Work Permit. Walang agency ang naghandle plus hindi tayo immigrants. Days before my departure tinawagan ko silang lahat dahil yung consultant namin dito sa Canada ang nagpipilit sakin na kelangan ko ng PDOS. Pero may mga kilala din kasi akong SOWP ang application. Wala talagang PDOS kailangan unless may agency na naghandle sayo. Meron dito sa forum nag PDOS kasi dumaan sya sa agency. You can call the government agencies as well. Tapos ipost mo nalang ulet dito. :D

hi! ask ko lang po, how soon can i apply for SOWP? kapag po ba na issuehan pa lng ng WP ang hubby, pwde na rin ba agad ako mag apply ng SOWP kahit d pa cya nkapag start mg work sa canada? Gusto po kasi sana namin na mgkasama or at least ilang months lng ang pagitan ng papunta namin sa canada.thanks!
read mo ung earlier posts,ang lam ko depende rin sa work ng husband mo. in our case Foodservice supervisor hubby ko we waited for his promotion kasi ngstart cia as crew. upon issuance ng WP apply agad kame since CEM requires at least 6 months validity of WP upon application... read mo lang un earlier posts dito u will learn more bout SOWP application then if you have questions post/message ka lang dito sa forum... :)

alis ka na pala sa monday sis? ano bang mga papers ang dadalhin mo? Husbands OEC, LMO, work permit, photocopy of passport, employment contract? ano pa ba kulang? sure na ba talaga na hindi na kailangan mg PDOS? no need na pumunta sa OWWA? ako sa 24 pa ang alis. =)
Halu! Yup, bumili agad ticket si hubby, hehe. Sabi nila dito yung letter from embassy and passport lang naman ipapakita sa Immigration sa Vancouver. Pero dala ko din yung copy ng OEC at yung mga sinubmit ko sa embassy, binalik naman nila lahat di ba? Andun na yung employment cert, etc. Balitaan ko pa rin kayo sa experience namin. Hope it will be a good one. Ingats! :D

Sis, kailangan talaga ang work permit. kasi diba lahat tayo nagsubmit kasama ang work permit tsaka dun kasi based ang expiry ng visa ng spouse. So i think talagang kelangan yun hintayin. Kasi ang LMO is nothing without a work permit. Hindi pa rin pde magwork yun kung LMO lang. Meron din kasing cases na may LMO pero denied ang work permit.

Sa NAIA, passport ko lang and letter yung nakahandang ipakita kasi alam ko talaga hindi ako pipila sa OFWs na pila. Dun naman sa Vancouver hinanda ko papers ko and papers ni hubby. Sa papers ni hubby nilagay ko dun yung OEC, Work Permit, Scanned Passport, etc. Pero yung passport and letter lang talaga hiningi. Basta mga sis always pray. Lalo na yung attitude ng immigration officer sa Pinas and Vancouver. Pero sure na sure ako na walang prob sa Vancouver. And also, try to be as pleasant as possible sa pag approach dun sa Pinoy sa Naia. Makikipagchikahan lang yun sa inyo. YUng sakin nagtanong pa sa katabi (after our 3mins chat) kung ok ba yung sakin. Ang prob lang talaga, kahit matagal na silang nagwowork dun.. parang ndi pa sila ganun kafamiliar sa klaseng visa natin. Pero don't worry so much. All will be well.
