I think way ng govt to account how many pinoys go abroad and which country. But, sympre income generating na rin.PlasmodiumVivax said:CIIP is free but as far as I know is not required. It is funded by CIC. Wala palagi schedule. PDOS seminar on the other hand is required for pinoys to register before leaving the country and there is a fee. Ironic nito is kahit yung tao ilang taon na dun sa Canada and then bumalik lang sa pinas para kunin ang pamilya, need pa rin mag PDOS.
