8) TIP 8) MY GOD, my son was born in phils and they sent me to the pharmacy with a list of things to buy, clip for umbilical cord, eye drops, doggie diaper for the mother, iron pills, lamkin (cloth diaper), etc etc etc everthing they needed during the birthing, what if i didnt have any money would of they sent us home. even needed to pay someone to dispose of the afterbirth :-\ :-\ :-\
My Tita has been a midwife in Batangas for nearly 50 years. If you were born there then chances are she brought you into the world. Her clinic provides everything as far as I know. If you can't pay then she will take a few chickens instead. I had never heard of a hospital sending a person out for supplies they should be providing.

Oh yes, I'm familiar with the pharmacy shopping list.. but WHY DON"T THEY EVER HAVE BANDAIDS?
"Bandaid"
"Maa'm? Bandage"
"Band Aid"
"Yes Ma'am.. Bandage"
"No.. It's like a Bandage that sticks to you"
"Maam?"
"#@$%&*"
"How many Bandage Ma'am"
"It's Miss"
"Beg your pardon Ma'am?"
"Nevermind. Two Bandages and a roll of tape"

I wondered why my partner is so weird about always having livestock in the yard.. he gets nervous if there's not handful of chickens and a few ducks pecking around. I guess it's like insurance policy :D

Hey Sweet Potato,

Fill out this form and also make a payment of $5

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/form-imm5563.asp

The sponsored person needs to print and sign this form, then scan and email it to the Sponsor in Canada.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/form-imm5744.asp

Include: the completed ATIP form, receipt of payment ,and consent form (total 3 documents) in an email to:

ATIP-AIPRP @ cic.gc.ca

Instructions on how to fill out the ATIP form can be found in other threads if you search.. for example, I ordered GCMS notes for my spouse who is outland. I ticked "Access to Information Act", then on the 3rd question "Email"
4th Question "No.. Consent Included"

next section "I am a Canadian Citizen etc.." then "Public" no need to include proof if you have a Canadian address.

Section C make sure you tick "electronic files" so as not to delay your processing while they photocopy your actual file.
Thanks for the info.

Batangas sounds nice. Actually it's funny.. When in the Philippines do you get random texts from people wanting to be your friend? I bought some load from a 'tomboy' in Kidapawan.. sorry I hate that word but I just don't know how else to describe it. Soon enough.. all these women were texting me. I was like :eek: huh.. lol. Anyways one of the texts really stood out in my mind, just somebody saying 'Hi I'm Anne from Batangas, wanna be friends?" I was always thinking.. where is that? Is it nice there? Haha, I should have replied and asked her but I don't need any textmates. Anyways, the place name has kind of stuck in my head. Then I saw this mug
and it's so pretty.. I'm convinced we have to go there :D

WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF!!!!

GRRRRRRR!!

More lovely SA's middle of October getting PPR's
I guess we can say good bye to any hopes of a medical extension now....as it appears we don't fall under the category of special circumstance as previously discussed...

We don't even fall under the category of any particular order....I t really picks my ^&%$%$ that CEM was going in order by SA, then when getting close to our date, they decide to go all over the map.....wasting valuable time and any hopes of getting a fair $1040 application.

How much is medical again...geeesh!!

I ordered GCMS...if the file isn't opened, I'm going to email again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.....go ahead and interview....at least somethings happening, and try to decline..there is absolutely nothing we're hiding so I'm not the least bit concerned.

I'll email Kenny, CEM, my MP...again and again
phone calls...petitions.....whatever it takes to get my mother F%$*&%$! moneys worth!!!

Actually, hmm, I think it's possible because they just send it with email anyways. Do you share an email address with your husband? If no then set one up, and include that email address on the form.. it will be sent to you then.
Thanks Steph:)
