Hello guys! I'm new here and I hope you can help me with my situation. So here's how the story goes: I luckily have my "Temporary Working Visa" for Canada already approved. Now, I only need to have my PDOS and I can go to Canada, problem is my employer reached his "limit" of directly hiring foreign workers thus they (POEA) would not like to process my PDOS/OEC papers. Unfortunately, this spells disaster to me and must now be processed to a POEA approved agency which defeats the purpose of being directly hired. You know, to avoid the extra overpriced charges for processing papers. My friend in Canada pitched me his idea for me to try to visit other countries as tourist (Singapore, Hong Kong, etc.) and fly there to Canada, so I won't be required PDOS/OEC. Would this be a good idea and would not hurt my chances in the future? Hoping someone can provide an advice. :'(
