724-1629 kausap ko dyan is si Ms. Ida Mapua. one thing i found out sa paaghahanap ng flights is mas mura pag Sunday, Monday and Tuesday compared sa Friday and Saturday.

Naging Friday lang yung sa akin kasi fully booked na January 29 to Feb.3, Chinese New Year kasi.

@ mimi.... wats the LTO cert for? how can we have international driver's license? any idea? many thanks!!
hi,

sabi sa COA international driver's license is for tourists daw, u can use it in canada for 3 mos. di na to kelangan pa coz we can use our ordinary driver's license issued by the phil. govt, of course, yng di expired ;D for 3 mos also.

pag permanent resident, we need to have LTO cert so we can acquire the G2 license. one thing i know is that limited area lng ito, di pwede sa major hiways OR challenge the exam to acquire G license (ito yata yng full-fledge license, as in pwede ka na sa expressways, hiways, etc)

by the way, ontario lng po ito ha, other provinces might have separate rules.

yng cert from insurers, para daw po lesser ang car insurance premiums bayaran don (syempre, pag ang nakalagay sa cert is that we have no insurance claims coz our car was never involved in any vehicular accident, (this is according to some forumers, fellow pinoy na andun na sa canada) laking tulong daw tlga.

but even in the LTO cert, remarks of ur driving history is also stated, i.e, whether u've been involved in any traffic glitch, etc..

take note nga pala, flights from the Philippines to Canada you will have free baggage allowance for check in - 2 pcs. 23 kg each for both adults and children 2 years old and above, 1 piece handcarry 7kg.

BUT if you have a connecting flight with Westjet or Air Canada, their free baggage allowance for check in is only 1 pc. 23 kg each, the second 23kg baggage you have will be charged C$20. then more or less same for handcarry.

So remind lang that you have to prepare the C$20 per baggage that you need to pay if you check in with these 2 airlines as your connecting flights to other Canadian cities.
