hello guys pa join sa forum! were planning to land this june 30 since yung hubby ko nasa canada as a worker worried lang ako baka hanapan kami ng POF sa toronto since dependents lang kami and wala akong perang dala, what will be the best answer kaya na pwede ko sabihin sa immigration officer if ever hanapan kami ng POF? may mga naka experience na ba dito same sa situation ko need ur help guys thanks!
Di ka hahanapan ng POF ondang2 lalo na if they see that you are under provoncial nominee. One thing to take note of is your husband has to land first before you can either at a local CIC office or thru flagpoling sa US-Canada border crossing. Kami hindi hinanapan ng money kasi they know we are not the principal applicants. Advise ko is bring a bit of money kahit $100 lang in case may need ka bayaran at the airport sa Toronto. Ako kasi I paid $40 sa Westjet connecting flight ko because magkaiba free baggage allowance ng Cathay and Westjet. Sa Cathay 2 pcs. pwede i-check in while with Westjet isa lang kaya I had to pay excess, $20 each bag namin ng daughter ko then add pa sales tax.

Hindi din sya hinanapan ng POF pero para sure lang, he brought the job offer and paystubs and since he used his car nung nagflagpole, dinala din nya registration in case hanapin.

Yung B4 wag ka masyado magconcentrate dun, ako nagprepare lang sa Excel ng list of goods ko pero hindi naman nilagyan ng stamp ng CBSA officer. They said they only stamp it for when you have items on the list that are of immense value like antiques or jewelry na sobrang mahal or electronics pero if personal effects lang like clothing etc. di na need. Ok na yung list done sa Excel just to be sure, lagyan mo na lang quantity and estimated value in Canadian dollars.

Pwede na ipadala yun sa inyo as soon as hawak na nya. Sya nga pala on strike ngayon Canada post kaya use Fedex :) hehe

By the way sis, if mag Expedia ka with your tickets take note handa ka ng pangbayad sa NAIA 1,620+750 travel tax and terminal fee per person, ang alam ko if you buy tickets online di pa included ang 2 na yan sa babayaran mo for the tickets.

Kate, try to get a copy of the form 137 from the school. Tell them it's for Canada pag sinabi school to school lang yun. Baka sakali pumayag ibigay sa iyo kasi di naman magrerequest ang schools dito from the Philippines pa hindi ba. If ayaw talaga, the report card na lang anyway the kids will be assessed prior to starting school to know what their level is sa Canadian standards and if they need ESL classes.

As for the immunization records, what I did was prepare a certificate listing the vaccines my daughter already had and then I had it signed by the pedia.

ESL/EAL, English as Second Language/Additional Language.
Most schools have that program since there are a lot of immigrants here in Canada na hindi first or official language ang English. It sort of helps students integrate better.
