[m2canada]

Thanks m2canada, tinawagan ka ni CIC or ikaw nag kusang loob? so wed mo na nakuha? or tuesday din? ;D

tuesday ko cya nareceive.june 27, monday may delivery sila. that day ako tumawag to follow up kung dumating na pero hndi nkasali yung papers ko sa mga newly delivered.so i was disheartened (emo mode) kaya hndi na muna ako umasa to receive it soon. june 28, tuesday, i kept myself busy the whole day, then tuesday night when i checked my email, may message pla ang agent ko at 2pm saying na dumating na ang visas. so the following day lumuwas agad kme... and the rest is history

Hello every one..I am new here

Sali naman po ako sa inyo.. I have visited this site several times and found it very informative. I am a Filipina, and we have applied for PR under FSW (Family Class) Program NOC 3131. We sent our application to the CIO and was received by them on March 9, 2011.

Until now, we have not receive any info from them. No AOR and FILE No. yet. We are getting worried.Please advise..

hi bv77. i really can't say how the family stream works pero as far as the application of most of us (FSW) here, the waiting time for the AOR varies. you may want to check the family stream thread as guidance for the timeline. Pero, siguro ang masabi ko, if it goes beyond the regular processing time, send an email to the CIO. I have a friend who applied as FSW and akala nya in-process na ang application nya. Pero walang AOR or anything. He only followed up after a year and to his dismay, nalaman nya na nawala ang papers nya sa CIO. Kaya lessons learned, be sure to be on your toes when you're near the milestone for the stage of your application.

Thanks m2canada sana ganyan din sakin ... (at makapag resign na ;D) mag papanggap din ako "busy" sa tuesday

 

[rhmanalili]

regarding receiving the passport with VISA ... since I am always at the office and the address I indicated is my home address...would I need to issue an authorization letter to the people at home for them to receive it just in case? are there any guidelines on who I could authorize to receive it?

thanks

Thanks m2canada sana ganyan din sakin ... (at makapag resign na ;D) mag papanggap din ako "busy" sa tuesday

hey heatspine....

salamat sa sharing.... ganun din actually ang i-adapt ko philosophy....wherever there is work dun ako pupunta. Sabi mo nga kung sa Toronto e di go.... we just thought of BC initially kasi maganda weather at malapit sa Las Vegas where we have relatives.

Sa ngayon, I'm gearing up to launch online applications and job hunting para when the time comes...meron na interviews...or if ever job offer.

Since medyo daring ako at nag-file agad ng resignation kahit ala pa visa...e nasa last stretch na ko ng turn over stuff sa work. so by end of July (my last day in my current work) ... end ko na regular job ko....and start my new job .... i.e. JOB HUNTING in Canada. They say, when you job hunt, make job hunting THE JOB for you. Kaya kelangan tutukan talaga.

Sana we could all get to meet each other and who knows...refer each other to potential job offers.

eto maganda sa forum na to...we get to connect and explore possibilities.

Good luck sa atin lahat!

hi rich,

Since pareho tayong 0213 together with hellokitty_catnip and the others, yung lock for 0213 or any other related IT jobs is a good break for us kasi less influx sa industry natin. Actually, baligtad naman ang nangyari sa akin. I was supposed to land in BC. In fact I have been planning it for a year, pero 2 weeks prior to my visa release, I had a change of heart for work related reasons. Kaya all my preparations for BC puffed and nagmadali akong makipagnetwork. Salamat sa FB kasi naiayos ko ang mga settlement issues kahit ilang linggo lang ang preparations.

I really wanted to land and stay in BC pero when I checked the listings I knew that my work will take me to Toronto. So ayun, just wanted to share. Goodluck sa inyo sa BC! For sure kahit saan man tayo mag-land we'll succeed. Kailangan lang talaga ng ST (parang si Villar)

hi mameeh2! a DM status could only mean two things -- the application was denied or the application was successful... a DM status that reflects a positive feedback should logically appear at the final stage of your application -- when you have undergone medical examination and have been asked to submit your passports... to answer your question, so far, i have not heard of a visa not being granted after the passports have been requested...

those whose status turn DM before any medical examinations are requested usually means the application has been denied... ibig sabihin, may naging problem sa documents submitted or sa number of points awarded... you will receive your documents through regular mail with a letter explaining why your application was rejected...

ok lang mapraning, nagdaan kami lahat na nag DM na sa ganyan ;D don't worry, you will get your visas soon... 8) 8) 8) i wish you well...

Thanks for that info canimmigrant! Saan ka mag land? or nasa Canada ka na?

di ko alam kung san ako mag ask short term insurance or yung pang 3mos lang... thanks thanks thanks!!! ;D

Insurance companies call it travel insurance. For my family of 3 (hubby, ako and baby), we got Bluecross, 658 dollars all in all for 3 months, 100K each person for each illness ang coverage. Kung mag-isa ka lang, mas mura yan. Try to scout for other insurance companies also. Meron din yata ang sun life, statefarm insurance din. Dito na sa Canada binili yung insurance namin. Narito ang Ate ko so a few days before our landing, binili na nya. May waiting period na 72 hrs pag binili mo after your landing. Since may baby kami, I don't want to take the risk na hindi kami covered. HTH.

hi. pwede ba sa bluecross a travel insurance coverage of 1 month only or perhaps less than 3months? My family and i will be landing in Calgary, AB kasi. wala daw waiting period for AHCIP un nga lang, we have to wait for our PR card because it's one of the reqts so i want din na covered kame for the days na di pa kame covered by AHCIP. thanks.

read this fr Qorax....

HEALTH CARDS:
Health is a provincial matter. It is NOT FEDERAL. Thus, if you change provinces, u'll have to AGAIN get that province's Health Card. And again the waiting period* shall apply. Off course, a previous province's health card remains valid for few days/months in another province, but not all benefits could be availed.

*The Waiting Period:
As I know, Alberta [eg. Calgary, Edmonton etc] & Manitoba [eg. Winnipeg] are the Only provinces where there is NO WAITING period for the Health Insurance. Rest in all provinces there is some waiting time to get the Health Benifits. In Ontario [eg. Toronto, Ottawa etc.] it is 3 months.

Eg.: If Calgary Is My Destination Should I Get The H/Card In Toronto?
If Calgary is your Final Destination, but you are 'initially' landing in Toronto for a few days stay [Permitted action], I suggest you should first land in Calgary [get the health card] and then visit Toronto. Why? Mainly 'coz, you can get the Calgary health card immediately, but in Toronto you'll not. That Calgary health card will be valid in Toronto for a few days. Not the vice-versa. Secondly, if you land first in Toronto, you'll be staying w/out any health coverage.

Temp. Health Coverage:
It's wise to obtain a 'temporary' health coverage before you fly. Off course not required if you are going to Alberta or Manitoba. That temp. coverage shall come in the way of "Travel Insurance", which you can obtain from ANY insurance company in your homeland. The costs depands on the length of coverage. Usually we should take it for 3-4 months, as that is the waiting time in all provinces.

NOTE: It'll be a good idea to obtain the Travel Insurance from home country. For 2 reasons: [1] You are covered from day-1 even before landing. [2] In Canada it will be costlier & you'll be covered only from the day you apply. What if you get to do it later, as you'll be busy in the initial days? What if something goes wrong in between?

hi rich,

Since pareho tayong 0213 together with hellokitty_catnip and the others, yung lock for 0213 or any other related IT jobs is a good break for us kasi less influx sa industry natin. Actually, baligtad naman ang nangyari sa akin. I was supposed to land in BC. In fact I have been planning it for a year, pero 2 weeks prior to my visa release, I had a change of heart for work related reasons. Kaya all my preparations for BC puffed and nagmadali akong makipagnetwork. Salamat sa FB kasi naiayos ko ang mga settlement issues kahit ilang linggo lang ang preparations.

I really wanted to land and stay in BC pero when I checked the listings I knew that my work will take me to Toronto. So ayun, just wanted to share. Goodluck sa inyo sa BC! For sure kahit saan man tayo mag-land we'll succeed. Kailangan lang talaga ng ST (parang si Villar)

hi heatspine! nasa toronto ka na ba? me and my husband landed here a week ago. my hubby is an IT. so far jobsearch pa din..but sabi nila dito mabilis lng dw mka work ang IT. wer keeping our fingers crossed! sana nga!

I'd like to ask kung ano pa ang pwede naming gawin since overdue na ng 7 mos. ang application namin. CIC Manila nag-apply ung mom ko. ;( We never had any word from the CIC kung ano na ang nangyari.. Wala pa kaming balita sa agent na di na namin macontact.. We'll try to go sa main office ng CIC Manila to get in contact para sa update ng mga papers namin.. Wish us luck
