Hi Mga Kasama,

Magtanong na nga po kung sino sa inyo ang may experience via Cathay Pacific Airlines. Puro kasi Korean Air ang nababasa ko sa forum. Mababa ang rate nila kaya sa kanila ako nagpabook. Hindi kaya kami mahirapan sa Immigration sa Hongkong?

Any inputs will be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi!!! Cathay Pacific ako. don't worry maayos naman. hindi ka naman dadaan sa immigration sa Hongkong eh.. diretso ka lang sa gate papuntang Vancouver. Sa vancouver mo na kukunin yung bagahe mo, sis. ok sa Cathay. :) nasa earlier pages yung post ko about my flight. Nung napaaga ako masyado sa NAIA binigyan nila ako ng seat sa earlier flight to HK. So sa HK na ako tumambay. Ok yung airport dun comfortable ka and may drinking fountains. Tumatanggap din ng USD na bayad... HK dollars lang sukli hehe. Natulog din ako habang hintay ang flight. haha

Hi...this is my 8th. month dito sa canada. Pano po ba mag apply ng spousal open work permit? Do we have to apply on behalf of our partners since tayo ang andito? I am working as a food counter attendant, am I qualified to apply to this process?

thanks
Hi, sis.

To be eligible for an Open Work Permit, the spouse or common-law partner of a foreign temporary worker must demonstrate that:
the principal temporary foreign worker has work in Canada that is at a management level or a job in a professional occupation or as a technical or skilled tradesperson. In other words the skill level of the principal temporary foreign worker’s job must be level 0, A or B according to the National Occupational Classification (NOC).
This skill level requirement does not apply to principal temporary foreign workers who have been nominated for permanent residence by a province (provincial nominees).
the principal temporary foreign worker is permitted to work in Canada for a period of at least six months.

Hi Jewelle! Sorry, now lang ako reply, busy nung weekend, e :) About your question, yes, wala pa work permit ni hubby na bago from his new employer. January expected namin na dating nun but I am planning to apply na for my SOWP this coming December. Actually, yun isa nating sister dito, si Ynoweh, yun din ginawa nya. And I think, she's the best person to ask. Tumawag din kasi sya sa call center and they said, pwede naman daw yun. I also talked to Mercan (nagbayad na kasi kami sa kanila, e), and they said pwede din daw, basta pag dating ng new WP, isubmit na as additional docs. Based sa mga sinabi mo, tama naman docs mo, e. But some of our sisters here, submitted proof of funds din. And yun iba, may mga pinadala pang pictures/videos proving na married talaga sila (decide ka na lang kung magsusubmit ka na rin nito). Wala sya sa checklist ko from Mercan but I intend to submit my hubby's bank certificate para sure. Here's the checklist that Mercan gave me:

- Updated resume ko
- Certificate of Employment of all jobs taken
- College diploma
- Transcript of records
- HS diploma and Transcript (if not a college grad)
- NBI clearance (taken last 3 months)
- NSO copies of birth cert and marriage contract
- Hubby's work permit copy
- Hubby's working visa copy
- Hubby's LMO copy

And me naman, i will add our proof of funds. Mga sisters, tama ba itong checklist ko? May kulang po ba? Pa-help na lang po. Thanks!
Aside from that, yun mga Embassy forms natin, IMM Form 1295 and IMM 5257 at yun Personal Information Sheet. Downloadable sa www.cic.gc.ca. Ladies, question ulit, nabasa ko dito ang Work Info Sheet ang finill out nyo, sa Mercan kasi, sabi nila sakin Personal Info Sheet daw. Haaayyyy, I don't know which is which. Please help me....

About your kids naman, pasensya na dear, wala pa kasi akong anak so I don't know. Our other sisters can help you with regards to that. :)

Naku, I hope nakatulong ito. Actually, some of our sisters here are telling me to wait for the actual WP before ako magpasa, para mas sure daw. It's really up to us kung isusubmit na ba natin ng wala pang WP ni hubby or antayin na lang natin. But whatever you decide on, pray for it. Ako talaga, I read the updates here sa forum and at the same time, I pray really hard. Lahat naman tayo dito gusto lang talaga mabuo ulit family natin diba? I'm sure, God will guide you in your decision and He will be with you during the whole process of your application. God bless, sis and update mo na lang kami ha! :)

Can someone please help me with this question? Implied status ba ang tawag kapag expired na ang current work permit sa current employer but may new work permit na in process for a different employer? Can the employee still continue working for his current employer if this is the case? Thanks everyone! :)

@jewelle

Hello! Apart from the docs you mentioned, I also included the 2010 T4 of my hubby and bank statements (September 2 - November 10)...Ang pinakaimportant sa tingin ko is the letter of explanation (with attachments: CIC receipt fee of 150CAD, proof of courier to CPC-Vegreville, and existing WP) na on process pa new WP ni hubby, and I had it notarized para legal document... But some members say we also need to include payslips and Cert of Employment, but in my case, I wasn't able to 'coz hubby is still waiting for his new WP, kaya di pa available yun mga ganung docs. I really can't tell yet kung tama lahat ng sinubmit ko na docs kasi wala pang response ang CEM, Nov. 17 lang nila nareceive ang application package. Don't you worry, since you plan to submit SOWP application by January pa, pag may progress na sa application ko, ipost ko, and hopefully positive (Amen!) para guided kayo.. Although I am a bit worried about my SOWP application, mas malakas ang FAITH ko.. Whatever happens, i-accept ko... We just have to be strong... May way pa naman pag nagfail (but hopefully, HINDI), when a door closes, another opens...Meaning, if di ok sa CEM, we can wait for new WP and re-apply db.. Hanggat may pagkakataon, go nang go... There's no harm in trying... O good luck sa tin lahat... Pray pray pray and pray.... :D ;D
