thanks macabanting! :) isama mo na rin ang hindi makatulog, nag-iisa at hirap maka-adjust kaya i got focused on finishing everything in a few days and it's worth it ;D nung nag-apply sya for canada, we have planned on getting married when she finishes her two-year contract and goes home. when she left the first & second time (bf-gf pa lang kami although for 6years na), dumidiretso ako sa barkada para makalimutan ang lungkot. pero ngayong mag-asawa na kami, i couldn't bring myself to do that again just to forget the loneliness. i have to take action now para magkasama ulit kami. although it's not always the case these times because of the hardships of life here in our country, the husband & his wife are meant to live together, not far apart.
ooops, i'm babbling now. sensya na, wala kasi ako makausap eh ;D at hindi pa rin makatulog ::)
na-sad din tuloy ang heart ko.. :( :( :( namimiss ko din ng sobra ang husband ko e.. pero for now we need to sacrifice for our future especially the kids... tama lahat ng sinabi mo... and i think you are responsible enough now that you're already married... your wifey is very lucky to have a husband like you... just keep up the good work and God will bless you in every single day of your life... hope in time we are all have a chance to be in our love ones.. parang kanta lang ba.. together forever hehehe... ;) ;) ;) basta i know that God is always there for all of us especially sa forum na to... :D :D :D

Hi everyone! I am so glad I found this forum, it is both helpful and inspiring. Sayang lang, now ko lang nabasa mga ito coz me and hubby have been trying to find ways to be together. Hubby's been working as a Line Cook in Alberta for 4 years and he has tried applying for PR but has been denied several times din. Too bad lang coz we never heard about this Spousal Open Work Permit e di sana dati pa kami nag-apply since Skilled Worker naman sya :( Imagine being apart for 4 years! Grabe hirap nang pinagdadaanan namin, not to mention the disappointments and frustrations each time we get news na denied ang PR application nya. All these years, yun lang ang inaasahan namin coz we thought it's the only way we can be together in Canada. Until he inquired at Mercan Canada and they suggested the SOWP program, nabuhayan ulit kami. The thing is, now that we found out we are qualified, expired naman na ang Work Permit nya :( In fact, implied status na sya coz wala pa yun LMO nya and expired na WP nya. Haaaayyyy... :(

But the good news is, another employer offered him a job and he has an LMO na, he just needs to apply for a new WP and like what everyone said here, nasa 68 days na lang thru paper application ang new WP. So while waiting, I've already prepared all my docs but we have paid Mercan to help us with the application process. They said, kahit wala pa daw new WP, basta we can submit the receipt na may WP application na, okay na daw yun. Anybody here who submitted this before? Also, I just don't understand why some of you submitted mga proof of funds and pictures or videos with your husbands/wife. Kasi sa list of requirements from Mercan, wala naman mga yun. Need ba talaga? I am scheduled to submit all my requirements next week, after ng long weekend so I am quite nervous at baka kulang at mali mga docs ko. I would appreciate any help from anybody here.

Thank you so much everyone and congratulations to everyone who got their Visas na. Sana kami din na magstart palang or ongoing ang applications ay palarin din tulad ninyo :)

@Nigella 15

May I share... I was about to get MERCAN's assistance until I found out this forum- that I do not need to spend lots of dollars. Advice ng mga ibang nakakuha na ng visa dito sa forum, reserved ko na lang daw sa airlines ticket yun pambayad ko. Application filed on my own with the guidance of the members here in the forum. Tama sila...easy to apply and accomplish everything. The hardest thing is WAITING. I guess, kung hindi ka pa nakakacommit sa kanila, you still have time to backout. Marami ang tutulong sa yo dito. Napaka-accommodating nila. Pag may tanong ka sa forms, may mga sumasagot dito kahit paulit-ulit ng naitanong. I salute them all.

By the way, welcome to the group. God bless.
