sis I just wana ask if its ok to bring Birth control pills without prescription.?
They won't ask for it in Canada. Because when we get the medicine the Pharmacist takes the prescription away. It's going in to the Philippines with medicine that could cause a problem. If you sign up for planned parenthood in Canada the pills are cheap. Actually, you can just go to the doctor and ask for any samples and they can usually give you free pills for a while if you need.

I agree.. and if your name is hard to spell then just make it something easy because chances are they will spell it wrong. Moose's surname is weird for Filipinos and they always F00k it up.

SCOS what is the chance to make a helpful hint page, that others could access,,,,break it down into sections,,,,,i know myself I know a lot of good hints I could put in it and others have very good ones,,,,,,rather than just coming on and asking or scrolling through posts forever looking for information,,,,,,,,we could use all the things everyone has learned here,,,,things about email addresses,,,,the big AOM issue,,,,,,the seminar,,,,,,,lbc courier,,,,drop box,,,,,,,mp inquiries,,,passport info on Canadian citizen children ,etc etc
I was thinking of that too.. but I just want to forget about immigration now. What a nightmare. Maybe we can make a self editable WIKI.

All of the practitioners on the current list are e-medical. There are some that aren't on the list anymore (like the one we used for medical previously) They still require photos even though it says to the contrary. They want to put a picture on their file. So there's 4 in Davao, 3 are at the same address. They accepted walk-ins. I see a shuttle bus in her future :D

Maybe it's decision made on your Sponsor Approval. Enter the applicant's details and see what it says.
