So, turns out my SA confirmation was sent out in July 2013 ... to where, I dunno.
Call the CIC and the dude confirmed I've been approved (yippee)
He said it was sent to my email address but I never got it. Must have been eaten by the Interwebs.
Now the question is ... when's the next step gonna happen?
Follow the spreadsheet that scos has. You will see people getting PPR who had SA about they same time as you. This will be at least 4 months most probably more.

I would also make sure that CIC has the right email address. You wouldn't want the next email being missed.

MANILA MANILA! all im saying is its not all that scary in Mindanao unless you ALLOW ABS CBN AND GMA reporting to scare you from going there.. or better yet CNN..

if anything im more scared to go to Manila because people there are unpredictable..

Tagum is right.. Mindanao is expensive if you buy the department store clothes (i never buy department store clothes in the PHILIPPINES).. i buy what the locals make because that you can never buy in Canada..

in response to the author...i think you should spread your wealth or middle class a little and go to Mindanao and help the kids out down there. instead of taking it personal with lady cranberries who felt offended by how privileged you talk about your ability to afford the better things in life..

(this sickness is also common in the Philippine community in Canada.. so to all our wifes and husbands that will be coming here.. be prepared to TAGAY! with the likes of the privilege in the Filipino community)
Yeah living manila is very unpredictable bad things could happen anytime.. Well i really didnt mean to be mean with crab just that i felt provoked on her replies like .. Someone asked about middle class .. That was the topic so reply answering the question .. And not questioning the answer of other people .. I know there's difference in lifestyle and yeah its not good broadcast it .. Just felt that i had to.. ( i got lost on the last paragraph what sickness did you mean ??)

Yah i would usually agree with you and be one of the first ones saying that, but this guy is way over the line with his comments and insults to other members. He comes across like a spoiled kid who has no concept of decency. He has said a lot of stupid (expletive deleted) and should be called out on it.

People don't come to these forums so some idiot like that can get his rocks off putting down other people, they come here for support. We all have a lot of stress with this process and our community doesn't need people like him making it harder on others.

There, there... I get where you're coming from. A little bit about me. You see, my mom raised me to speak up for myself and for others, whenever I felt the need to. Now my dad, he's all for non-violence as much as possible, he tried his best to teach me his zen ways. I'm trying to channel my dad's peaceful aura. 8)

Oh, out of topic, but my dad's such a softie. The day I told him CEM asked for my passport, he burst into tears, telling me he loves me and that he would miss me when I had to leave. I had to reassure him that PPR=/=visa yet and that we had a few weeks to spend time together. Now that the strike's on, prolly months. ???

My wife says a middleclass family would need to earn at least 100000 Php a month at least to be considered middleclass.
We would say that is even more than plenty enough. Figure our relatives (one family of five) household income absolutely no more than 50,000 (but investing in short term loans to others etc.) and they are VERY "middle class" in my opinion.

marcjd - It's a real shame that the big expensive education that you received did not buy you any "class"! It's also a shame that your mommy or Daddy didn't teach you how to respect women or people in general. Let's get it clear, your little "humble" brags about your 3 homes is not entirely true are they? They are not your homes, they are your Daddy's homes and you are just a spoiled rotten little mama's boy rich tard living in them, riding on your daddy's coat-tails. Also, a little FYI for you, your little "humble" brag about your $75K a year job in engineer sales in Alberta is not a really good wage as an engineer in Alberta, it's actually quite a *censored word*ty wage. Un-educated "rig pigs" working up in Fort Mac make more than you! Your fancy school name dropping, and "my Dad this and my dad that" shows exactly the person you are. Not a very admirable one dude. Come to think of it, if you were that rich and important, you would probably choose to be with your wife back in the PH until she gets her Canadian PR instead of working an entry level engineer sales job in Alberta!

As for how it "makes you feel good to look down on your own people and step on them like trash", you are just a piece of Sh*t and a useless bag of skin. Perhaps you are just big and tough online talking such *censored word* about your own countrymen and their poverty. I really hope you talk your insensitive and arrogant crap somewhere to the wrong person in Alberta and they teach you some old school Alberta redneck respect.

The filipinos have a great reputation around the world for being genuinely nice people but you sir, are the exact opposite.
+1!

I also like his bit about school. Its about who you know, not what you know (to paraphrase). That explains a lot. And it is wrong since by coming to Canada you won't know many of those people so "what you know" would be more useful.

And another thing... Do you (marcjd) actually speak as you write? Or should I say:

Hahaha do you really talk like that hahaha? Hahaha it is really annoying hahaha. Hahaha if you actually speak like this in public you must really sound like an idiot hahaha!

Oh yeah id say sorry to the person who wasnt invlove that got involved .. But for you ?? Your just a piece a trash wasting my time comment on any post id do all you want this would be the last time id reply for something your involve with complete waste of time .. Oh yeah dont assume youd get respect since your a lady .. It's hard earned not because of your gender .. And your not worth it anyway " just for me " good luck with the rest ..


So why are you pushing tagum into this ?? Hahaha he's not even involve here .. Why not pick with him ?? Why would i?? Had he done anything ?? Lol hahaha you're a crazy b!cth dont involve others on your rage
So if she gets no respect due to her gender what makes you think you should get any?

Everybody deserves a certain level of respect as an individual. Without knowing someone you should at least be polite and let them have their privacy, etc. As you get to know them then that level of respect will change. Some will go up (like my respect for Cranberries in not letting herself be intimidated) and some will go down (like yours for being an a**).

And why bring Tagum into it? Because you insulted him. You said he likes to get into flame wars because he enjoys it. That is a pretty nasty accusation. From what I have seen, Tagum is the type that doesn't take cr*p from people so when you say something that offends him you will hear it. That is far different than being someone who likes to put down others (as you are).
