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

[TigerLilly]

Hi to all those who have already landed!

Just would like to ask what the schools there require for pre-school kids when they are enrolled there? Do they need to see the workbooks done here in the Philippines? Or is it enough to get certification from school here in Philippines? We are contemplating on scanning the materials our eldest has made for records if needed.

Appreciate your thoughts on this...

Hi...

They need birth certificate of the child being enrolled and the immunization records for the child is a must. When my son got here...he had everything...from school records to school form etc....but they didn't even look at them . They just asked specifically for his birth certificate and his immunization records...that was all. Oh and they asked him what grade he was last in back in the Philippines.

 

[TigerLilly]

good question, so far na ready palang namin is report cards and vaccination records. Btw, are there any other fees do we have to prepare for when we land?

Yes Jig...when you apply for your SIN card....it costs $10 ... otherwise your good to go!!! Goodluck and God bless on your new life in Canada!!!!

Are you from metro Manila or in the province? Coz two weeks delivery of your passport is quite long... When did your ECAS changed to DM?

Yup am from Manila. Yes, it took me two weeks to get my Visa. Such a long wait but its now over

@TigerLily, my kids are 6 and 4 years old. I don't know kung sa Grade 1 nila ilalagay yung 6 years old ko pero yung 4 years old ko, i-enroll ko na sa kindergarten kc nung may sya nag 4. Ang tanong ko lang po ay pakukuhanin pb ng assessment test ang mga kids of these ages para malaman kung saan level sila ilalagay?

Yes kimwayne.....most daycares here are subsidized ng government. Me mga daycares na run ng private individuals...ie...stay home moms....that's where you'll have to ask them for their credentials.

Mommyquinz i sent you a PM about your query. Di ko agad nabasa na balak mo palang ipasok sa kindergarten ang 4 yrs old mo.....di nila papayagan sis,they need her/him to be 5 yrs by january 2012.....unless me bang rules sa AB. You have to put your 4 yr old sa preschool. Kung san mo i-enroll young 6 yrs old mo,dun me pre-school din sila.

Hi everyone,

I'm a silent follower of this thread. I began to like this thread not only because it is exclusive for Filipinos but all posts are all good news. Ang sarap basahin kapag puro positive at success stories ang pino-post. Marahil siguro dahil sa ang subject matter ay "waiting for d passport w/ visa". Ibig sabihin puro sure ball na, hinihintay na lang ang grasya galing sa CEM.

Actually, balak ko mag-join sa thread na ito kapag sumampa na yung application ko sa stage na ito. Kaso, kakatapos ko pa lang sa medical, so waiting for PPR pa lang ako. Hindi ko lang kc matiis na i-keep pa nang matagal yung gusto ko itanong lalo dun sa mga nag-eempake mode na.

To anyone, ang tanong ko po ay ito (if u won't mind answering): Anu-ano po ba ang mga dadalhin nyo sa Canada, bukod sa damit, sapatos, gadgets, jewelries, at mga personal effects (empre Cash considered na)? Napansin ko lang po kc yung iba ang pinag-uusapan mga boxes na malalaki kung saan kukuha, etc. Dadalhin po ba nila yung mga gamit nila sa bahay like mga kasangkapan, kaldero, etc.? Curious lang po..

Salamat!

For Pinoys who are bound to Saskatchewan, you can join the FB group "Pinoys to Saskatchewan"... You can also visit the thread here with the same title...

God bless to all of us...
