Yes kailangan natin mag register sa CFO before we have our sticker. Sticker na lang rin ang kulang ko and I'm thinking to go there tomorrow


Congrats again!!! Happy for you!!!

AOR-Acknowledgement Of Receipt

malalaman po yong sponsorship approval if mg log in ka sa Ecas using either receipt #,client# or immigration file#...
wala ka pa bang na receive na letter from embassy??

 

[brookslakeside]

now im really confuse

do i have to obtain that certificate or not? according kay mam filipina, no need na ng certification, i'll just bring my license there and after 3 months i can apply for a new one...

im open for any suggestions.... medyo naguguluhan lang po

@ chocomilky congrats, sana kami na din ang next this month...

listen to your wife she is correct when she said you have to get a certification from the LTO for the following reasons:

the Phillipines have no reciprocal licence exchange agreement with Alberta, Canada so full testing will be required to get an Alberta licence even if you have a valid Philippine Driver`s license, and you had been driving for eight years now so you`re okey, they only need 2 year driving experience.
When you land in Canada, you go to a registry and take your learners test. you hand in the certification and the licence. That being said, in order to apply for the GDL exemption, you don`t have to wait for a year to get your road test for your Class 5.


Upon arrival, you can still use your your valid (non-expired) LTO license for 3 months upon arrival


pag sa alberta ang bagsak mo . . malaking bagay ang LTO Certification (preferred galing sa Head Office kasi ang iba dito ay hindi honored lalo na ang galing sa probinsya dahil iba iba ang format). PAg may LTO Certification ka at nakasaad doon na matagl ka nang nagmamaneho sa Pilipinas at wala kang major violation eto ang mga benefits:

1. pagdating mo sa ALberta ay pwede ka agad kumuha ng "learners" exam (intercative) at pag pumasa ka pwede mong e show sa kanila ang LTO Certification mo at e challenge ang Graduated Drivers License (GDL/Learners) at pag granted ang challenge mo ay pwede ka agad kumuha ng "road test" for CLASS 5 (GDL). Kung wala kang LTO cert ay hindi mo pwedeng e challenge ang GDL Learners at dapat maghintay la pa ng 1 year bago ma qualify to take the road test.
2. PAg may LTO Certification ka ay malamang makakuha ka ng discounted insurance premium about 15% sa sasakyan pag bumili ka, malaking bagay yan. Kaya kung nasa MAnila ka na rin . .kumuha ka na pag ang target mo ay Alberta its really worth it

For Air Canada and Westjet travellers:

Air Canada said on Wednesday it will start charging economy passengers C$20 ($20) for a second checked bag on domestic flights.
The announcement comes a week after WestJet Airlines Ltd, Air Canada's biggest domestic rival, introduced its second bag fee.
Air Canada's charge, like WestJet's, takes effect for travel from January 19. The first checked bag flies without charge.

So if you`re travelling with Air Canada and Westjet after January 19, 2011 be prepared lang for an additional 20 canadian dollars sa second checked in bag and also sa excess baggage fee nyo.

Tickets purchased before November 11, 2010 or travel before January 19, 2011:
Check 2 bags free
