Yeah .. Mostly like me immigrated to canada not because we had a poor life buy the complete opposite.. My dad was kidnapped back in manila that caused us to migrate to canada .. Because he didnt feel safe for the whole family to stay there anymore..

Usually the poor ones are the ones that get stuck there and live like hell i guess.. Since people in the middle class could just go for culinary school and apply at mcdonalds or any food chain here in canada lol

My wife has squid all the time,,,,i will just feed her old rubber boots when she comes here,,,there is no difference lol ,,,,,I couldn't chew up that old squid so I spit it out
HAHAHAHA! I love that too. Too bad it's so expensive here in Manila. I'd probably miss the dried foods when I get there. In my husband's apt, they can't cook those stuff because of the smell.

So true.. that's why my guy does not have a lot in common with the Fil here. Most are from rich backgrounds, from Luzon, a lot from Baguio.

So my wife got a request for appendix a today :D things are moving along I see. A few questions. How long until the COPR comes in the mail? Also they had an appendix b attached specifying photo requirements but didn't specifically request them (just said appendix a). Should we send in new photos just as a precaution?
