Hello everyone!

I would like to know sana kung ano ang mode of transportation (aside from taxi) papuntang Port Royal Place kasi a-attend po sana ako ng CIIP seminar on Nov. 10-11, 2010? Meron po bang buses na dumadaan talaga dun? Patulong naman po kung ano ang way going there. What are the landmarks and bus signage that I need kasi sa Nov. 9 pa ang punta ko ng Mla galing dito sa Davao. Tsaka di rin nabanggit sa email, anong oras po ba ang seminar on the 1st day of the CIIP seminar?

Daghang Salamat! GOD BLESS US! :-*

Hello abilex,

Yes everything went well with the help of God and it pays to ask around lalo na sa guards ng Ayala Ave. MRT station kung where and Rada St. for the CIIP as well as kung where papuntang Citibank Towers for the COA.

The CIIP seminar was very informative. I attended COA also yesterday. Grabe information overload na feel ko after every seminar. It was worth attending the 2 seminars ahead since kelangan na pala natin mag apply dito pa lang sa Pinas para once we arrive in Canada e nakapila na mga interviews natin. Both seminars gave us mga babasahin, websites na sangkatutak, at sulit ang pagpunta ko dito sa Mla. Kulang ko na lang is the PDOS kasi di pa dumadating ang passport wd visa ko. Hopefully december darating na so i'll attend na lang the PDOS in Cebu. For now I need to visit all the websites given by the speakers as well as emails of people I need to get in touch in Canada esp. that I have no relatives. Overwhelming ang seminars abilex. I strongly recommend you attend both, email mo lang sila for their sked and when you want to attend. God bless us all!

Hello Mimi,

Tapos na ko mag attend ng COA seminar nung Nov. 15 while the CIIP seminar nung Nov. 11 & 12 para sulit ang byahe ko pa Mla. I attended the COA na wala pang visa. When I emailed them I informed them ahead na di pa nababalik ang passport ko and to show proof na lang e ung letter stating that my visa is ready for issue na andg ipapakita ko sa kanila. They emailed back naman na okay lang daw kaya all is well na. Email mo na lang sila kung when mo plan to attend. I think MWF lang sila me seminar sa COA.

Regards!
