hindi din nabayaran agad ni hubby yung permanent residence fee. pagdating ng ppr mo, hihingin din naman yung receipt so isama mo na lang sa pagsubmit mo ng passport yung receipt, you can ask your husband for the receipt once nabayaran nya na.
ahhh ok. pwede din pala un. naku buti naman. hehehe nga pla i dont know kung naitanong ko na po sayo kung napadalhan ka ng AOR? or PPR na agad ang pinapadala?

naku sabi ng husband ko around $575 ang binayaran nya, so may isa jan na hindi niya nabayaran which is yun daw right or permanent Residence fee, so u mean madedelay ang processing namin? that's sucks.
di naman for sure na madedelay, pero nabasa ko lang kasi ito sa sponsor guide (IMM3900): http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/3900ETOC.asp#pay-fee

"Note. We strongly recommend paying the Right of Permanent Residence Fee along with your processing fees. By doing so, it will reduce the processing time of your application."

i think iba ung pagkakastate nito sa older version nung guide, may nakalagay ata na "a couple of months" or something.. di ko na matandaan, hehe.

kung approved na yung husband mo as a sponsor, wala ka ng marereceive na AOR. AOR is acknowledgment of Receipt nung kit nyo. so it should be receive before the approval.

btw, hindi ko ma-access yung ecas ko. we cannot find churva yung lumalabas. down ba yung site?

whew...pelipeli dala nya dog nyo panu requirements pagdadala ng dog? kc gusto din nmin n hubby na dalhin aso namin chowchow din kaya lang baka daw mahirapan ako kc 1st immigrant nga kaya baka sa susunod nlng daw
hi thyreece, I forgot na may pinost pala before ako na detailed na post on bringing our dog. Anyway here it is for your reference, and dito ko na lang pinost instead of PM so others can read too in case they wanna know. I hope you decide to bring ur chow with you.. Di ko rin dinala when I came, I mean naiwan muna sa hubby ko and sabay nalang sila , and I really really miss him!

We have two options:

1. do the relocation by ourselves
2. use the service of a pet relocation company

Under 1.) Doing the relocation ourselves, you just need to the following:

a. purchase an IATA approved crate for your pet. You may check websites of different airlines as to what their specifications are. Ours look like this:



(and now you probably can see in the photo that my user name pelipeli is actually our dog's name) lol

note: we did all the required stickers on the crate by oursleves (Live Animals, This side up, Handle with care, etc)

b. Get their vaccinations updated (especially rabies)
c. Have your vet make a rabies vaccination certificate and a health certificate that your pet is healthy enough to travel
d. You may check this website for Canada regulations on importing pets. Canada has no quarantine period so its good =)

http://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/anima/imp/petani/canine.shtml

e. Choose what airline you want to use (research on what airline is the most pet friendly. i'll share which airline on a private message ill send to you )
f. Call ahead to "reserve" , some airlines may only take several pets on board.


Under 2.) use the service of a pet relocation company


We will go with this option. It gives me a mini heart attack on the cost, and you will still need to do (a) to (c) under option 1, but I think it will be safer and more sure if we have professionals doing it because they have the experience on relocating pets for years. They will do everything from getting in touch with you to know your pet's specifics and requirements, get in touch with your vet to handle and prepare the paperwork, choose the best airline, book the flight, pick up your pet, monitor the pet throughout the flight, take care of your pet on layovers during the travel, handle clearing your pet through customs/immigration then deliver your pet to you at your home in Canada. What's great with this is you can get your pets even if you are not accompanying them on the flight, like on your case that you have landed already. Just make sure you have someone back here in the Phils. who can prepare them (purchase the crate, get them updated vaccinations, get the paperwork and turn them over to the handlers on the flight day)

It also helps to do research on tips on bringing your dog with you on an airplane, we have learned many great tips that would make the process easier.

hope this helped out :D
