thank you for the info kiking! anong difference ng dalawang seminars?thanks
hello m2canada,

Ang naiisip ko at the moment na differences e Ung isa e bibigyan tayo ng Action Plans (what we should do while still in the Phils.), meron din one-on-one discussion, magbibigay din sila ng companies/websites sa atin na pwede natin applyan while still here. The other one will show us the realities of life in Canada, madaming ipapakitang video presentations of immigrant's life in Canada, me groupings din kung sino-sino mag migrate in similar provinces tapos meron konting brain storming, kung madami pa time magsasalita din ang banker from BPI at tsaka this other seminar has free am & pm snacks (c/o Goldilocks, super yummy pa). Thank you Canada. Super dami ng matututunan in these 2 seminars. Thank God at merong mga ganitong klaseng seminars provided to us for free. Best regards! :-* :-* :-*
