PAra sa akin, I will go to Calgary.... sa experience ko lang kse, I really dont like Edmonton, madumi ang city, madaming flip na local indians and hindi ganon ka-friendly ang mga pinoys.... (Pasensya napo coz I'm a great observer talaga so I'm just sharing kung ano ang na-experienced ko)... Mas madaming job opportunities in Calgary. If you have the money, why do you need the help of a friend or relatives? So many immigrant agencies na pde mo i-call pgdating nyo dto or kahit before kayo mg-land.... The only help that we asked from my relatives in Edmonton is to pick-up us at the airport and staying in their house for 2 weeks while searching for our own apartment; but if kung pde lang i-rewind; I would rather do eveything alone; checking in a hotel once first landed coz it really doesnt take time to search for an apartment talaga.....well its totally depends on you guys..... Goodluck! ;)
thanks a lot liempo. pag iisipan namn ung advice mo. kini consider namin ang mga advices sa amin kc mas kau nmn ung nkakaalam jan eh. buti nmn po mdali lng pla maka hanap ng apartment jan. cguro na compare lng namin dto sa dubai kc sobrang hirap mg hanap ng room? baka kc matgalan kmi ng kakahanap eh. nag chck ako sa kijiji need ng iba ng referral dw na taga jan bago sila mg pa rent. isa din na reason kaya mjo nag wori kami kaya gusto nmn sa place na may kakilala sana. un din balak namin mg hotel nlng muna tlga. thanks sa advice mo. God bless. ;)

Hi po, new bie po ako at plan po namin ng asawa ko at 2 kids magimmigrate canada. Hindi ko pa alam kung san magstart. Meron po mga agents out here in UAE pero base sa nakikita ko na sa lahat ng nagapply as immigrant sa forum n ito ay hindi nangailangan ng agents.

Anung advices ang pwding ibigay sa akin? san pwding magstart.

Mechanical Engineer po ako s UAE, w/ 5 years exp., 28 years old,

god bless po. thanks.
Hi sibarut! if you're planning po to apply via agent, try nyo po mg inquire sa VISION Consultancy. Sila po kc ang agent namin pti nung friends namin na nasa canda na din. Pero sa AUH po kmi nag apply kc dun po naka base ang husband ko and dun din head office nla. If you want lng nmn po pero mas cheaper if di na dadaan ng agent :)

By the way po pala, plan nyo po ba mag pursue nang designation na CHARTERED PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANT? Might as well magpa assess ka muna para malaman mo kung anong mga subjects needed to take..

Ako waiting for reply palang..

2. Need po bang mag apply online muna sa WES before requesting our credentials sa Universities?

3. Und address po ba sa website ng WES kng san ipadadala ang documents ay updated? kc po may nabasa ako sa ibang timeline na parang iba na ang address nla, di ko lng po sure kc di ko na po mabalikan ung timeline na un kng saan..

any kind reply regarding this.. Salamat po in advance!Goodluck po sa mga nagiintay dyan! :)

Thanks po sa reply:) Actually, medyo nalilito p ako though may idea nko how to start.

I believe under FSW ang choice ko. Do you think this is the best time na magapply for FSW though may limit sila until april next year? or may ibang options pa po? Magkano po kaya ang estimate n magagastos ko with my wife and 2 kids?

advice from a colleague....
May katrabaho po ako before sa Makati City at successfully nkarating na siya sa Canada under Provincial nominee pero nahirapan daw po siya sa paghahanap ng work but now ok n siya. Nakahingi po ako ng advice sa kanya n kumpletuhin ko muna lahat ng requirements before gumawa ng account sa cic dahil may 90days period pra isubmit ang lahat,

kailangan ng canada ng mga engineers, don sila kulang, so better to apply now bago maging strict na naman sa law... pde din naman mg-agency ka but you'll gonna spend a lot of money.. GUmastos lang kami ng husband ko ng more or less 150K sa pesos for the application from beginning to end ng process... (that includes application fees for 2, IELTS exam for 2, PR visa stamp, medical exam in Karama, Police clearance in Dubai and PI, authentication of school docs, marriage contract) then ang show money, naka-indicate naman don sa instruction guide how much ang need mo para sa apat...... just read the instruction guide carefully, for sure kaya mo din yan.. :)

1. Ung Transcriptof Records po ba pwdeng tau/applicant ang magpadala sa WES mismo for assessment?yup pwede naman..sa experience ko, ako ang nagpadala nang diploma and tor ko..kaso in a separate mail sila..sa diploma ang sender nilagay ko is myself pero sa TOR name nang school nang school ang nilagay kong sender

2. Need po bang mag apply online muna sa WES before requesting our credentials sa Universities?nag request muna ako nang TOR ko sa school then nung ina-nnounce na ang orgs, nag register ako online to get the reference number then bumalik ako sa school para papirmahan ang form, nilagay ko ang tor sa school envelope namin, pina sealed ko then pinapirmahan nang registrar..kumuha ako nang tor before-hand kasi it take 1 week to get the records..

3. Und address po ba sa website ng WES kng san ipadadala ang documents ay updated? kc po may nabasa ako sa ibang timeline na parang iba na ang address nla, di ko lng po sure kc di ko na po mabalikan ung timeline na un kng saan..i think updated naman..check mo lang ang address huh baka sa US na address mo mapadala.meron kasi silang US address eh..

any kind reply regarding this.. Salamat po in advance!Goodluck po sa mga nagiintay dyan! :)

Hi po Maam Liempo..salamat po sa advise..plan sana namin sa edmonton kasi mas cheaper daw doon ang cost of living..big consideration ko po kasi un since d naman kami mayaman ang enough lang talaga ang perang madadala when time comes.

Sa calgary po ba madali makahanap nang accommodation and work?? Sa further studies naman po, while waiting nagpa assess na po ako sa IQAS para sa CHARTERED PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANT na designation..wait ko pa rin ang reply nila..

Just to confirm po, mas preferred na calgary magland kesa sa edmonton po??

What would be the advantage and disadvantage po sa calgary aside sa namention nyo na d masyadong friendly ang edmonton, marumi, education opprotunity..

Salamat po nang marami..

Gwyne



hello.. check this site din.... http://humanservices.alberta.ca/services-near-you/2433.html, yan lang ng binasa ko when i was searching for programs para sa immigrant in Calgary.... select nyo na lang ang option for Edmonton, bawat city may mga programs sila... try to call the agencies and make an appointment coz it will take time bago makakuha ng slot sa mga agencies dito.. About don sa IQAS.. i even applied for that when I was in Dubai and paid more or less 200Dollars ata para samin dalawa ng husband ko, can't remember pero i know mahal.... but when we arrived here, FREE din pala ang pa-assess sa IQAS for new immigrants.....

Even yung winter clothes, I did the shopping sa Dubai, pagdating dto, mas mura pa pala ang pang-ginaw. :) and branded pa, About sa weather, mas malamig sa edmonton if winter...malamig din naman sa Calgary but mabilis malusaw ang ice compare sa edmonton; here in Fort MAc, hindi ko pa alam, balitaan ko po kayo anong lagay pgdating ng winter.. :D

Free ang education for new immigrants basta related sa profession ang kukuhaning course, sasagutin ng government ang tuition fees, plus may living allowance pang makukuha while studying; I know coz ng-aral din po ako... ang kaso hindi ko natapos coz nakakuha nako ng work related sa field ko....ginawa ko lang alternative ang pag-aaral para makakuha kami ng living allowance sa government at continue ang cash flow habang nauubos ang show money namin while living as survival...

D naman necessary mag enrol agad kasi 1 year din ang validity nang evaluation result nang CPA designation eh..nag combine na kasi ang CA, CMA and , CGA.

Ito ang main website nang CPA --> cpacanada.ca

Kung sa alberta naman is --> cpaalberta.ca ( ill check po muna kasi parang di ako sure)


As to evaulation, nag send ako sa treview-cma.ca nang TOR, DIPLOMA and WES report ko po then magrereply sila after 30 working days kung ano-anong subjects ang dapat kunin and kung pwede kana sa Accelerated Program..

Hi Liempo, salamat sa link at sa tyaga nang pag-sasagot nang tanong namin, especially sa akin..ganun po ba, so saka nalang ako magpapa assess sa IQAS..actually WES or IQAS ang kelangan nila..since meron naman akong WES, un nalang muna binigay ko..saka nalang ang IQAS since free naman pala accdg sayo.

Yun din sabi nang kaibigan ko..mas cheaper daw dyan..so baka, God willing magka visa kami, bili nalang kami nang 2-3 sets para ready din..

Sa weather, hopefully makakasurvive kami..

Sa living allowance, ano po ba yun liempo?? I mean, iba un sa child benefit?? Meron kasi akong anak, 2 years old..iba din un??

San ka nakakuha nang free education, sa edmonton po ba or sa calgary..sana maka avail din kami nyan..at least kahit ako lang..medyo mahal din kasi ang education dyan sabi nang kaibigan ko..

Salamat nang marami..

Anu po ang advantages ng thru Consultancy than personal application? Vision consultancy, noted!:)

My sister worked as an immigration consultant sa isang canadian immigration agency sa Sharjah dati..... based sa comment nya..ang mga dumadaan sa consultant is yung walang time para basahin ang instruction guide... and mahal ang fee talaga...

If personal ka mg-apply, mas mabilis coz u'r doing it at your own pace, mura and siguradong ligtas ka sa mga bogus agencies in UAE.....may friend ako and officemates ng-undergo sila ng agency, nung hindi nila naipasa ang IELTS...non-refundable na ang initial fee nila sa agency..sayang din, daming KFC din po yun sa Dubai.... BTW..mas masarap po ang KFC sa dubai kesa dto sa canada..yun na-mimiss ko! :D
