July 01, 2011 FSW Applicants_MI 3

[spicey]

I got my 2nd AOR an hour ago.

Kudos Alaindotcom on the receipt of your second AOR. Between dear,i just read your profile data between lines just to find out that you are of Manila Philippies Visa Office with an IELTS band of 9.0.

Pls I will be glad to know where you learnt English since you are neither of London and Buffalo Visa offices.

Thanks Everybody for the wishes.

I need to clarify, My initial application sent to CIO was in the mid week of July and not on 25th July, request to change the details in Spread Sheet.

Regards,

I 've already said that I will be serving delicious INDIAN food........

we won't forget that....would you join the game?haha...considerate the historical evacuation of immigration, including New Delhi and Manila were both the fastest VOs giving the apps Visas. So..I suspose that I will win 2 bottles of beer if everything is going just like previous. ;D

Two of the May 2011 applicants got the Visa today from Manila VO, Manila VO is really fast.

I hope they do the same for me. I am all packed. haha. A lot of my friends in Toronto are saying I should not go there until after winter. Winter is harsh, everybody's saying. But I don't care. haha

Hearing about visas being issued after only 5 months is encouraging. I am not even hoping to break those 5 months. 6 months is okay.

I am talking as if I have the visa in the bag. haha. The power of positive thinking.

Hi Phil, I wouldn't mind buying the beer if that means I get the visa soon. I will even have one delivered to you in Taiwan on the day I get my visa. haha

hm...the cases you indicated that got visas form your VO applied after 7.1 or before? if after one, that could be a big surprise to all of us..if before, there are always some cases processed fasted than average ones, for example, there were some apps had got visas that applied in late June that happened both in Beijing and HK VOs

[butetebetlog]

Hi, all. I'd like to share. Just got my Canadian Embassy, Manila AOR (second aor). I received my PER on September 28th. Application received at CIO on July 6th. NOC 3152. I hope everything goes smooth from here on. Wishing you all good health (because poor health might mean visa rejection or delay) and positive news on your applications.

That's so kind of you..but I will be called to the custom for the restricted item imported..haha...
Don't be so fast, I am just saying like" previous", but case by case, I wish I could be the one breaking record of immigration to get visa within 5 months....haha..

Hi Spicey,

Thank you.

In the Philippines, English is taught all throughout the 10 years of basic education, and for another 4-5 years in university. The foundation is therefore obtained in school. Proficiency will come from how often one uses the language in real life. As for me, I already had the natural ability to speak and write English quite well even as a child. I don't know why that is. But I was aware of that strength, and decided to polish it by speaking to everybody in English, even if they responded in the vernacular. I had a lot of practice.

However, the real training is in the workplace. I have been a management consultant since I left the university 15 years ago. I work in a multinational environment with a lot of English speaking people-- primarily Americans, Brits, Australians, Canadians, and a good number of Indians (including my previous boss who I admire the most) and Chinese (coming from Singapore & Shanghai mostly). My current boss is an American.

Let me repost something that I wrote a couple of days ago in response to a similar inquiry:

"I am not sure I am qualified to dish out advice on how to improve anybody's English proficiency. The only thing I know will surely work: practice, practice, practice. Talk and write in English whenever wherever you can. I, for example, have become an English speaker even in my dreams! When somebody talks back in the vernacular, I run the English subtitles in my head! Creepy! hahaha

On a serious note, I work as a management consultant for a US business & technology consulting firm. Most of my clients are in the North American IOT, particularly in the Telco and Retail sectors. Bell Canada was a client once. And so was Walmart. I speak English with native English speakers day in and day out. Every interaction is an opportunity to hone my skills and deepen my understanding of the language. On the other hand, I find blogging to be useful in instilling a bit of discipline in my writing. So, I do write on just about any subject matter whenever I can."
