month of sept and oct
2 palang nakikita ko naapproved visa (both online application)...
isa ako sa mga nag apply thru VFS on the first month they opened (JULY)
there were a lot of MRs released though, pero wala pa talaga approved visa
hoping for a good response to all applicants anytime soon.
been a month now since i got my MR... wala parin sa baby ko.
i applied my baby for multiple-entry TRV and if i count it since the time i submitted, this will be the 3rd month na. getting even worried.
oct17,2013 i decided to have my medicals at st lukes global.
so smooth. ako yung pinaka una. like kaoopen lang nila nasa labas na ako.
arrived 8am. so ako lang talaga tao dun, nagfifill-out palang ako ng forms naka standby na yung med tech na kukuha ng blood ko. kalalabas ko palang cr for urine collection... naka ready na pang vital signs. tapos andun narin agad yung physician para sunduhin ako towards the examination room. hehe! natuwa naman ako.
mga 9am nalang dumating yung next applicant.
sabay na kami sinamahan sa xray---which is located in the main hospital.
then back agen to medical arts tower to wait for the urinalysis result.
pag balik ko namin sa medical arts--- may result na urinalysis ko and im glad its normal
so i was advised to wait for their call after 5days-should there be any findings in my xray. the nurse said minsan as early as 2nd-3rd day tinatawagan na mga applicants. so far wala na ako nareceive na call from them. hope is all well...
kasama ko baby ko that time, buti may waiting area sa labas that i can check him (with my inlaws) all the time. hassle-free. very accomodating. im able to compare st lukes bocobo (medical yr2009 for US) nationwide (medical of hubby 2012) and st lukes global (2013).
i would say st lukes global is beyond compare. in terms of facilities,staff,convinience...
saka mabilis nga daw transmission. they have the so called E HEALTH something... yung lahat result are transmitted online then submitted to CEM...
medical exam is robe down... bare naked... complete assessment. unlike nationwide, parang dinikit lang steth daw sa hubby ko noon tapos na agad. yun lang, medyo meticulosa yung physician.
i had to pay P3,000!!! for an additional exam. i was asked to have a hepa screening test.
doctor asked me what my previous job was... which obviously is written dun sa forms infront of her.
i said im a nurse. asked me if i had any hospital experince. i said yes... in the (name of hospital) and ended contract 2008... so matagal na... then she asked me again what other job experience i had after. i said i was a clinical instructor fr year 2010-2012. so sabi niya---you probably had hospital duties with your students. i said yes... the next thing she did... wrote a recommendation that i need to have a hepa screening.
so there! i had no choice!
i asked the price 3k daw! i cant believe i had to do additional test e yung hubby ko naman nurse din but wasnt required to have it. and all other nurses i know na nagpa medical for canada. so i was speechless. sabi nung nurse i can have it done daw outside if i want to. pero naisip ko lalabas pa ako at maghahanap clinic then matutusukan then maghihintay result then babalik again st lukes to submit then wait for the doctors clearance.so sabi ko, cge nalang pay nalang ako.
suggestion ko lang, if you have any records for hepa vaccine or hepa screening test better bring it nalang. i know i have records pero di ko inexpect na hahanapin sakin. e ang layo ng place ko fr st lukes.
lesson learned... bring everything related to your health records. who knows...
