Hello po

Sa mga nag exam po ng IELTS d2 sa Dubai, san pong exam center ang iaadvice ninyo? may link po ba kau d2 sa forum na ito? magkano po

kaya ang magagastos kung 2 kami ng husband ko ang kukuha ng IELTS?

Regards po sa lahat! :)

Para sure, at least eto dapat ang maging score nyo sa IELTS para ma-qualify sa pag-aapply....

speaking- 6.5
listening- 7.5
Reading 6.5
writing 6.5


If dadaan sa agency, better to take IELTS muna para hindi masayang ang application fee sa agency... but if direct sa CIC London, at least ganyan po ang score nyo... yung reviewer ng IELTS, u can buy it at any british council office, that time, yr 2009 it was 100AED ata.... self-review lng if you think ok naman ang english pero i have friends they enrolled in one university sa dubai para sa IELTS then naipasa naman nya kaso she paid more than a 1,000 AED as I remembered.... google nyo na lng po "IELTS review class in dubai" just in case gusto nyo i-enroll...

thanks po sa reply;)
I guess mgaaply ako without agency kc sayang din nmn ang mggastos kc nkpgpaquote ako hindi lng double yung amount n bbyaran ko s application. Thanks po sa inyo na tumutulong sa forum n ito kung hindi, hindi ako mgkakalakas ng loob...

About po sa aaply,
FSW iapply ko sa sarili ko,,, anu kya mgandang application s wife ko kung bachelor grad siya 4yrs without experience s business mgmt? wala pko idea s mga points kung san pwdi n mssbi ko if ever n swertihin ako, gusto ko ksabay ko siya together with my 2 kids..

Try to determine first your points using this link... http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp ... it doesn't matter kahit no job experience wife mo coz u'r the principal applicant naman, but her bachelors degree can give additional points for you as well.

yup, full-time dapat para ma-avail ang free tuition plus living allowance.. Alberta Works will coordinate with the school about the payment of tuition fees and monthly you'll get a cheque for your living allowance din.

When we landed in Edmonton and living as survival; gusto ko na din bumalik sa Dubai because of the stress sa mga pangyayari ;D but I've changed my mind, pinilit ko na lang na tanggapin ang madugong pakikibaka sa Canada para mabuhay.. ;D... Yun lang ang kailangan natin mga kabayan, mahirap talaga sa simula, but if you know you have qualifications and lakas ng loob makipagsabayan sa kanila, for sure, you can do it as well!
Dapat naka set talaga yung mind natin sa panibagong way of life. Iba ang buhay sa Dubai, iba rin sa Canada.

Liempo, di na pala kayo bumalik ng Dubai after landing, atleast lapit na kayong maging qualified for Canadian citizenship. Ang bilis ng panahon!

Based sa CIC website, ang principal applicant ang dapat mgpa-assess dto.. http://www.wes.org/ca/fswp/

An Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) is used to verify that your foreign degree, diploma, certificate (or other proof of your credential) is valid and equal to a completed credential in Canada.

You must have such an assessment if you:

are a principal applicant, and
got your education outside Canada.

Para makamura, kung sino ang principal, sya na lng then once landed tsaka na mgpa-IQAS ang isa since free na yun pgdating sa canada.. in a month maayos mo lahat ng docs... basta focus lng and may pang-ayos ng docs... create a timeline para masunod mo ang schedule mo and get in touch with ur contacts sa pinas just in case i-authorize mo sila sa pg-aayos ng docs, gawa ka lng authorization letter for them..

True, mahirap talaga lalo kung hindi mo naman na-experience mg-survival/ service jobs sa pinas or abroad.... nakakaloka talaga!

Sa dubai, professional tayo pero sa canada para kang nghahanap ng karayom sa dayami para makita mo san ka talaga pdeng mg-fit... sa mga kasabayan naming immigrants dto, mostly Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, CPA..kapag ngkikita-kita kami... tawa lang ng tawa sa naging buhay sa Canada.... yung iba hindi nakakayanan, umuuwi ng pinas or kung san bansa sila galing, worst, dto ng-didivorce kapag couple, kse ngsisisihan sa naging decision nila... weird nga...nung wala pa sa Canada, super excited, pgdating dto..kulang na lang isumpa ang bansang 'to... hahaha...( mga kapwa imigrante lang ang nagkakaintindihan coz kapag ngkuwento kami sa ibang pinoy na hindi immigrants, namimisinterpret kami na mayayabang) pero wag po kayo ma-discourage..nasa tao naman pano mo kayang i-handle ang challenge.... ang nangyari kay juan ay iba naman ang mangyayari kay pedro... kaya be positive lang po!

Proof of funds – Federal skilled workers
You must show that you have enough money to support yourself and your family after you get to Canada. You cannot borrow this money from another person. You must be able to use this money to pay the costs of living for your family (even if they are not coming with you).

You will need to show proof to the Canadian visa office in your home country that you have enough money when you apply to immigrate.

The amount of money you need to support your family is set by the size of your family. We update these amounts every year.

Number of
Family Members Funds Required
(in Canadian dollars)
1 $11,115
2 $13,837
3 $17,011
4 $20,654
5 $23,425
6 $26,419
7 or more $29,414


FYI din po, nung time na ng-migrate ako... wala akong show money na ganyan kalaki, I even used my credit card sa pambayad ng initial application fee since I know na kapag hindi ako qualified, CIC will return back the fee naman..... then ng-loan ako sa bank in Dubai for the show money and binalik ko na lang nung andto na kami. You dont need to have a lot of money para mg-start ng application, advantage pa po sa mga pinoy sa UAE coz madaling makapag-loan dyan... I dont care the interest that I was paying before coz ang kapalit naman is life stability and hindi na expat ang tawag sa abroad....

thank u po ulit sa sagot nyo. ang worry ko lng po kc na bigla pong lumabas ang profession ko sa eligible jobs for 2014 at ndi naman cia kasama sa eligible which is dun po namin plano na mag apply ng husband ko, sa tingin nyo po ba pwde pong later ko na ipaassess ang credentials along with our application o dapat ngaun pa lng ipaassess ko na po?TIA :)
