Hi, Canadian14

Hi all,

CEM received our passports yesterday, 10th Apr. Thanked God! I am now in the passport/VISA waiting club. May halong kaba pa kasi I decided to send it na lang via WWW/DHL and 1 day na hold sa kanila due to holiday. Anyway, wala na din kasi time to go to the VAC in Makati kasi wala din sila office nung holiday, 9th Apr.

I still haven't tendered my resignation, I was contemplating kasi 60 days notice kami sa office but a friend strongly advised to wait until I have the VISA. Question, if Decision Made na ba safe na to tender resignation? What's the estimated time between passport received to decision made and between decision made to VISA issued/returned passport?

Nagpa reserved na din ako sa travel agency namin for Sept 19 flight to Toronto via Eva Air. Share ko lang ang airfare quotations sa mga interested to land in September too :)

PAL - $799 adult, $619 child (no reservations); $879 adult, 679 child (can be reserved for 2 weeks)
Korean Air (promo until 30th Apr) - $809 adult, $679 child (MLA-SEOUL-TORONTO)
Eva Air $675 adult/child (MLA-TAIPEI-TORONTO)
Air Canada - $869 adult, $711 child
Cathay $789 adult/child (I think HK ang stop over)

Salamat ulit sa mga sagot :) More good news I pray especally dun sa matagal na naghihintay. We all deserve atleast an update.

[size=10pt][size=10pt]They seem to be working according to the 18 months timeline set but they can actually beat that deadline like the other VO's all over the world. The faster they get, the better for them & us.

Parang, since matagal pa or walang yung 18 months, hindi pa nila step up for another update of the processing. Parang walang sense of urgency or consideration to the lives of the applicants na nape-pending ang mga plans. Naka on-hold tayo...

I hate to assume or judge anyone but we really can't help it with how things are going on. Coz when we judge or blame, we become so helpless and powerless, which we don't want to happen.

Let's pray for them in solidarity that all the MVOfficers realize the soonest that their efficiency can change so many lives and the quality of lives of these people and be able to give their valuable concern, understanding & consideration to the people of this third world country. And that their work has a great purpose to help so many people to live better lives.

We are all law-abiding citizens who want to build and be a part and live in a good community.

Let's also pray hard that we always think and feel good within ourselves and with others even the rough is going.

Thank you to all. And God bless us all.

True! Before press nila fast track visa blah blah... 6-12 mos processing! Asan na?
They are truly wasting our time mag hintay. Ang dami napepending na plans kaka-
hintay. Its a yes or no lang naman eh, para naman mka proceed na sa plan B.
Sorry just venting out my disappointment over this waiting game!

Congrats!!!! ;D

In my case, two weeks after PPR, Decision Made na, pero right now I'm still waiting for my passport with visa.
I'm actually wondering what they do after the DM stage. Kasi I observed that some people are getting their PP back after one week, pero yung sakin more than 3 weeks na.
Pray ko lang na maging efficient ang CEM.

Thanks sa pagpost ng ticket prices. Anong agency pala yan, para may additional option sa pagbuy ng tickets.

Ok ba ang Eva Air And Korean Air?

Cathay Pacific offers good food... Kahit anong oras, you can ask for any food they have. Other airlines wait for the next meal and won't give anything beyond the pack/pax.

Up to sawa ang hagen daz sa CX eh... Hahaha. Even noodles, biscuits, drinks, hot bread... even in economy section.

Sarap din ng meals nila. PAL also serves delicious meals kasi filipino food. ewan ko lang lately. Maha lang kasi direct flight pati.
Anyway, share ko lang facts to you to make your travel a good & memorable one.

Good luck to you! Balitaan nyo na lang kami.

question po sa mga nakapag medical exam dito sa sg. Ni require po ba sa inyo ang mmr vaccination? Nabasa ko kasi dati na sa pinas ay required siya?

Done with the exam sa fullerton at eto po ang fee: adult - $208.65 (incl GST) , child - $160.50 (incl GST). Nde na kelangan ang picture. Yung x-ray sa ibang clinic gagawin sa shaw house banda and diff fee: $69.55 (incl GST) per person. Hnde kasi kami tinanong about mmr kaya nagtaka tuloy ako baka na overlook sa clinic?

Thanks sa reply.
