Manila V.O. - Waiting for the Passport with the Visa

[rubyalabar]

For those who have traveled to Calgary - ask ko lang po if 1 hour and 20 minutes enough time for the interview and documents checking for immigrants, family of 6, in Vancouver (port of entry)? That's the only available flight the travel agent had for us for Vancouver to Calgary coz most of the July and August flights are fully booked.

Your advice is highly appreciated. Salamat po.

What time arrival sa Vancouver? Kasi kami we got there around 12 noon and there was only 1 IO on duty for new immigrants and 1 for workers/students/visitors. It took us over 1 hour to complete the landing, napadali kasi after 30 minutes of waiting nagdatingan na yung ibang IOs from their lunch break. Tapos the gates for the domestic flight is about a 15 minute walk.

If you do take connecting flight, dapat siguro you're the first one out of the plane para una ka din sa pila sa IO. The time with the IO itself is like 15 minutes or less lang, ang matagal talaga is waiting for your turn plus yung layo ng gate ng domestic flights. I guess it's your choice if you want to take the risk of not making it to your connecting flight.

Good luck!

next problem: POF

hirap maghanap ng CAD dollars, dat means i might have to convert some cash to bank draft and avail of BPI's services kasi my tie up daw sila with bank of nova scotia in canada. kaso iba-iba feedback regarding the big 5 banks in canada, may maganda, may pangit so im thinking of distributing my POF to these big 5, indi lng sa isang bangko, para may comparison, tama kaya ako ??? ??? ???

Hi noelcezh, I too, is very anxious (very hopeful and crossing my fingers hehehehe) of what's going to happen next week .... Kasi nakadepende sa kung anong mangyayari next week ang pagfinalize ko ng mga preparations ng pagpunta sa Canada.... Kapag napasama kang mag-DM next Tuesday eh sigurado na rin ako sa July 1 or 2 na flight naming mag-ina---- kaya nga gaya ng sabi mo eh sana huwag magkaaberya.... ;D I am earnestly praying to God that October visa validity, if not all, will receive the most coveted visas this month ;D ;D ....

Nga pala sa Calgary rin ako and my son gaya mo and ni HOP.... Saan kayo mismo sa Calgary mag-stay?.... And hey, I was just teasing you when I said "napadami ang posts mo sa sobrang excitement mo nung madami nag-DM" ---- baka kasi na-offend kita eh mahirap na hehehehe ;D ;D .... If ever man na masama ang tama sayo ng sinabi ko, I'm sorry ha bro (or sis? ) but I didn't mean anything really when I said that.... PEACE TAYO HA :-* ;D ....

don't worry di ako na offend natutuwa nga lang ako sa ating lahat. iba iba ang reaction sa mga nangyari itong week na to. basta ang importante mareceive na natin ang ating mga visa. iisa lang naman ang ating mga gusto visa visa visa..... calgary po ang baba namin sa stirling alberta kami suduin kami ng sister ko na nakabased na dun. kayo san kayo sa calgary. kami nga once na dumating na visa namin pdos na agad para makaalis na balak nga namin july 1, or july8. nakapagpareserve na kami. ikaw ano ang travel agency mo 798 sa st. raphael para macompare ko kung ano ang mas maganda. btw sabi sa akin ng st. raphael para mas bumaba ang fare punta daw ako sa department of tourism para may discount daw ang kids. kasi ako dalawang kids ang kasama ko plus my wifey.

hi trxcis. processing varies. although may trend na-na-establish .. indicative lang sya and pwedeng mag-deviate. pero one thing is for sure, as long as you don't receive any letter of rejection from CEM then the processing is being done albeit sometimes slow. kaya don't worry.

[tinang_m]

hello tinang, what date ang booking mo for $818 and where to?

about the settlement funds, kung nag-iisa ka .. if im not mistaken around 11k plus ang kailangan dalhin. now here's the tricky part, kasi tatanungin ka sa POE how much ang dala mong funds. kailangan kasi match yun sa requirement .... although not necessarily na bibilangin nila yun or titingnan ang bank draft. my suggestion is try to source out funds .... nasa finish line ka na ... don't let that final hurdle bring you back here kasi hindi na-comply ang requirement.

hi heatspine, june 17 booking ko for toronto

thanks po sa feedback
