Jig dito lang sa Manila, wla pang 10 minutes ang pagdidikit ng Visa kasi yung friend ko last year nagkamali ang embassy sa pagdikit ng pics ng anak nya nagkapalit, pinalitan wla pang 10 minutes inabot na sa kanya.

Thanks rene,magastos pala kung nand2 ka sa davao and COA is compulsory,right?Last time,na punta ako sa manila,na ondoy pa nman ako...

COA is not compulsary. Ang PDOS ng required talaga pero sa Cebu lang kami Mag pdos kc mura lang plane fare. Sa Cebu din kami ng CIIP.

 

[EGo2canada]

May balita na ba kung bakit ang tagal bago ma release ang ating mga visa? Hindi na normal ito sa totoo lang, tayo lang sa batch natin ang nag antay ng ganito katagal (i'm referring dito sa pinas) kasi kahit agent ko nagtataka na bakit tumagal ng ganito.

thanks mimi0731 for your thumbs up for me several posts ago... :-*

heatspine, hindi naman halata na OC ka hahahahaha! talagang naka ayos ang pagkaka line? hihihihi... ;D ;D ;D but we all appreciate it ;D

dadating na yan... next week si kiking naman ang DM yipee!

hahha ... yan ang nagagawa ng nag-aantay ... mas hanga ako dun sa isang thread -- sobrang aligned with matching color pa!

yeah. pero all we have to do is wait. mabuti na lang last stage na tayo. if check the other threads, lahat ng waiting time nag-increase. say, for MR instead of three months, naging six months na ang waiting ... kaya domino effect lang. Since 90 days ang nakalagay sa PPR natin, give or take mga 30 days pa ang allowance. Siguro yun ang magandang expectation para nde masyadong mainip.

AHHH GANUN!? isang tanong nalang: Bakit ang tagal ng passports natin!?!!?!?! sa 10 minutes na yan, bigyan ko sila ng 1 hour lunch break (sagot ko na )

The Big Mistake

Q. What is the most common mistake in planning a new life in Canada?

A. Spending too much time looking at Canadian real estate websites - spending too little time making sure you will survive financially.

To move to another country, you need strong motivation. Motivation for Canada is easy. Canada simply offers a better quality of life - whether you're moving from a developed country like Britain, or a developing country like India.

Canada offers fantastic houses at affordable prices. It does no harm to look at a few houses in Canada - it's great fun, it keeps your Canadian dreams alive, and it gives you some idea of where you might like to live in Canada.

But
Too many people have come to Canada and eaten into their savings, unable to find work. Unless you have an income from investments, your NUMBER 1 priority in planning your move should be to focus on making a living in Canada. More specifically, make sure Canadian employers will accept your qualifications and work experience. More specifically still, ensure you will be able to find work - any kind of work - until your ideal job comes up.

Some migrants, even from developed countries such as the USA and UK have been shocked to discover they need to take extra exams to work in Canada. A further blow many newcomers face is to be offered a job at the bottom of the career ladder, after leaving more senior positions in their home countries. It happens this way for many immigrants. The consolation is that, if you are truly capable in your job, once you have a little Canadian experience, career advancement can be rapid.

The following Canadian employment statistics are sobering:
One quarter of recent degree-qualified migrants are working in jobs that people without tertiary qualifications can do.
After three years in Canada, only one half of degree-qualified migrants get jobs relevant to their degrees.
Average earnings in Y2K for degree qualified male migrants, aged 25 to 54, who arrived in Canada during the 1990's, were $42,000. Average earnings for male Canadians were $66,000.
You should be focused on moving somewhere in Canada where your skills are needed. As far as climate goes, many of us would prefer to move to British Columbia's dry valleys, such as the Okanagan Valley. But will you be able to get a job there? If not, then your "ideal location" is less than ideal. Your truly ideal location is somewhere you will be able to get your first Canadian job and that all-important Canadian work experience to add to your resume.

Only when you have satisfactory answers to the following questions should you even think about applying for Permanent Residence in Canada. Do not assume anything. Check everything. It's your future that's at stake.

Are my qualifications sufficient for me to practise my profession / trade in Canada?
Is there a Canadian licencing authority for my profession / trade? Can I meet their requirements? If not, what will I need to do?
Is there any demand in Cananda for my particular skills? Where?
If you already have the right answers to these questions, congratulations, a better life in Canada awaits you.

If you don't, it's encouraging to note that, despite earlier job losses, in 2010 full-time jobs in Canada are growing in number and the Canadian economy appears to be weathering the economic downturn better than the USA and most other western economies.

A Final Word
I feel a little guilty for writing somewhat negatively. I hope I have not shattered your dreams. By all means, keep looking at houses for sale in Canada. Just make sure you'll be able to earn money in Canada when you get here. Then your Canadian dream may really come true..
