Manila kbj nagopen ka na ng scotia? May selected bank offices lang ang bpi na nagooffer ng scotia acount opening.. sa bpi ayala triangle at paseo meron sila. Open ka muna ng 3rd currency acct dun then pwede ka ding kumuha ng bank draft para pagdating canada eh mas mabilis maprocess ung draft with the scotia bank choice of branch

We all have our own stories in search for greener pastures. The steps of going to Canada to fulfill our dreams. Ako naman magkuwento ng aking istorya. Kung paano ako napadpad na makakuha ng visa sa Canada.

In 2010, hindi rin kami pinalad na makakuha ng visa sa new zealand. Subok lang. Sabi ko ok lang, focus muna sa trabaho naming mag-asawa dito sa pinas after all ok naman kami dito sa kanya kanya naming kompanya.

Dumating ang 2013, nagplano kami na mag apply naman sa australia. Hired an agent at ang sabi basta makakuha ako ng 7 in all bands sa ielts, kumpletuhin namin dokumento, sure makakaalis kami. Nakumpleto ko documents after 4 months,lahat including skills assessment sa authorized body nila. Ayun tapos hintay hintay lang.

Dumating ang 2014, may dumating sa email ko na immigration expert ata yun, sabi open daw ang canada for fsw. Then naghanap ako ng forum sa internet and found this one. Nagtanong-tanong lang muna sa proseso. Unfortunately, after 2 days, got my visa refusal sa australia. Parang gumuho pangarap namin kasi akala namin hinihintay na lang namin visa namin dun. I can still remember yung pakiramdam ko when the agent forwarded the rejection email. Grabe half a million pesos, visa processing fee at bayad sa agent na mali ang ipinagawa sa min. Isang taong mahigit na savings namin, dugo at pawis ang puhunan. Yung panahon at pagod na nasayang sa pag-asikaso ng lahat ng documents, our australian dreams collapsed then. Nag-usap kaming family for our next steps and I know I cant dwell into this nightmare. Need to be strong for my family. After all life must go on. Hindi ka pwedeng panghinaan ng loob at magpatalo sa sitwasyon. I immediately went to get all my documents from my agent. Salamat ready na ang ielts. Inasiakaso ko na lang wes. Masakit na karanasan pero continue lang sa aking daily routine and tried my very best para lumakas ang loob ng aking pamilya na nasaktan din sa pinagdaanan namin. And the rest is history. Always praying kay God na ibigay nya sa amin itong Canadian visa this time. Thy will be done. Salamat sa Kanya at sa lahat ng paghihirap, sakit, nagawa nyang ituro ang bagong daan patungo sa katotohanan. Bagong pagsisimula, mga bagong pagsubok, we're moving to our next stage and we are still asking for His guidance, to give us strengths to fulfill our dreams.

Salamat sa forum na ito at sa mga tumulong in filling out the forms. Mas reliable kayo sa mga agents(encoders). Salamat sa mga sumagot ng mga katanungan ko, mga nagpalakas ng loob ko sa panahong muntik na akong sumuko.

Sa lahat ng mga nangangarap at naghihintay, trust in the Lord and He will lead us the way. Keep your dreams alive, go for it. God bless everyone! Sana makuha nyo na ang visa nyo and let's go to Canada!

I admire your perseverance manila_kbj!
After all the trails and frustrations God has the best plans for all of us.
Just keep believing and trusting in God!
Congrats! Your victory is very sweet!
Godbless

Question po sa mga graduates na baka sakaling naka experience nito...

1. from the moment na mag DM sa ECAs, how many days until physically dumating yung passport sa house mo? tama bang I-assume that parating na 'to in the next 1-2 days? or usually weeks pa yan?

2. What happens if they courier your passport tapos walang tao sa bahay? Nag day off kasi si yaya so walang tao sa bahay during the morning in the next 2 days dahil nasa work ako. Usually past 8pm nako nakakauwe...

thanks,

Expect 2 weeks to 3 mos. Yan ang sabi ng agent ko.
Mar 17 pa nareceive ng CEM passports namin hehe.

manila_kbj, we are also hoping for inputs here if anyone tried opening through Scotiabank.

For the bank draft i inquired about it and sa bpi the they will use the same day exchange rate and additional ~2,000php fee for the doc stamps and etc, depending on the amount daw. Then once in Canada, it will take 45 working days for the clearing of the bank draft. I am not sure though once you deposit it like in Scotiabank if they will have fees or charges on it.

I hope someone can enlighten us about this matter ^_^
Medyo risky talaga magbring ng cash baka may fake during money exchange o ma hold-up on the way..huhuhu
