How i ended up applying under FSW noc 7265 (welding and related machines operator) -
(an OFW's life story, please share yours too, would like to learn from other's lives)
Graduated De La Salle University BSC Commerce Major Marketing Mgt Apr 2000.
Jan2001 to dec2002 First job is one-of-three Marketing supervisors for Chowking Head O, monitoring all CK stores
from Makati down south until Bicol and Palawan. Chowking was at its prime by that time, i did a good job, performed all
duties well. Happy with my job but then again, when you excel at what you do Corporate politics and envious people
will try to pull you down. Didn't like the office setting and resigned. Noticed that marketing materials suppliers were making
good profit from supplying specific items such banners, streamers, paper leaflets/ catalogues, billboards and metal items.
That gave me an idea.

hello everyone! i'm not from this thread... just browsed it while passing time... i must admit this post by JPMA laid my worries to rest... it's really a good read... i admire the patience you had to put everything in words...
my family and i are just awaiting the return of our PPs with visas (na super tagal sya ngayon promise... what used to take just 30 to 45 days has become more than 90 days for most of us in the other thread na... so make sure you do not make any plans of leaving until you are in possession of your visas like quitting work or pulling the kids off school...) i've been ambivalent about leaving since we submitted our passports... although i've only heard of good things about canada, the philippines, after all, is still home... i've always lived a somewhat "sheltered" life... we are not filthy rich, but we get by comfortably naman... as i know most of us here are... hindi naman mura mag apply as FSW... what drove me and my husband to apply was the very same thing you complained about jpma... decent people who try to earn a decent living being given a hard time by government agencies... worsening problem of "peace and order" and the rampant corruption in the government... inspite of the phillipines being our home, we thought, if we have the chance, we would like to have our children a different environment...
kaya super happy ako sa post mo about your life story... and the reasons that led you to apply in canada... dagdag ko pa sa discrimination issue ng kids... tama yung isang nag post dito that people mature over time... 10 years ago, di pa siguro sanay mga tao sa migrants kaya nag di-discriminate sila, specially children... sabi nga ni louie beltran, "children can be very cruel"... and it's true... but based on the talk i had with my niece-in-law who migrated in toronto, discrimination was not something she encountered in school... she even told me that i need not worry about my kids, they will have good friends in 5 mins... kids there are used to children coming and going because of the immigrants... so they are all understanding and accommodating... at wag silang aangal, baka after 10 years, puro pinoy na tao doon at sila na ang minority hahahahaha!
so to all of us wanting to live the canadian dream, goodluck! this is probably the best decision we will ever make for our families ;D

For now,rumaraket ako sa mga clinic or sometimes nurse on hire.However,this coming week,i have to be serious about Acad ielts,kc bka biglang magpa medical tayo,tpus hindi pa ako nakastart sa pag apply for CRNE.hu,hu..Yon plan ko kc sa New brunswick mag apply,kaso wla ako mga kilala doon masyado.Tpus,here comes sa alberta,marami pa lang akong mga kapitbahay na presently working sa alberta.Yon iba sa calgary.
I am also thingking mag enrolled ng welding ,2 weeks from now.Pro balita ko din sa alberta,mahirap magkaroon ng eligibility.
kimwayne, it's just my opinion naman, kung tapos ka na magpa medical, you can start applying for your CRNE eligibility na... matagal din kasi sila mag process... para andito ka pa... and try to check baka tumatanggap na ng GENERAL training result ang regulating body ng province na gusto mo apply-an... like ang CNO ng Ontario, i believe last december lang sila nag issue ng statement na they will accept general training or academic IELTS results... baka naman ganon din ang other provinces... kasi alam nila naging strict ang CIO sa pag require ng general IELTS to FSW applicants... considerate din talaga sila... para di masayang pera mo... research mo din ang timeline ng applications since wala ka naman particular province in mind... almost all provinces now require SEC na, unlike before na case to case basis ang ginagawa nila... just a thought... goodluck!
nice to hear about this.. i just would like to know where did u get this info?
