Hi Everyone,

Any hints of what questions they will ask upon arrival (YVR Immigration Room)?

Cnu dito ung aalis sa April 20?

Name of your spouse, your address..basic stuff. It won't even take you 15 minutes to get past immigration. You just have to sign something, will be given a short lecture about institutions that might help you settle and adapt to your new life.

it's really wierd as when my wife went to do the Guidance and Counseling class they told her she not have to do it and told her just to go CFO main office and when she got there at CFO they even said she not have to do any class and told her just to come back with her COPR and they would issue the CFO stamp without any class. im curious why is that when on the websites it said u had to do atleast 1 of the classes but they said she not have to, has anyone had this happen before?

If you are referring to 1,620 pesos, that is the Philippine Travel Tax. If you bought your tickets here sa pinas kasama na dapat yun sa binayaran mo. If you bought tickets online, then babayaran mo ang travel tax sa NAIA before Check-in. Ang terminal fee na Php550 ay babayaran after mag checkin before proceeding to Immigration sa NAIA.

I bought mine in St. Raphael for 475$ inclusive of tax. Bali terminal fee na lang babayaran.

Never heard of this... Did your wife attend GCS earlier while she's still waiting for her visa? IF she did attend, then no need to re-do the seminar. She just needs to go directly in CFO office and present the GCS certificate that was given to her when she attended the GCS seminar.

It is not possible to skip the seminar and go directly to CFO just for the sticker as they will not find her name in their system. Every person who attended the seminar are recorded in their system where they will re-check in the CFO office once you presented the GCS certificate. No record in their system meaning you skip or did not attend the training... You will be asked to attend the seminar before they stamp the CFO sticker in your passport.

nope she didnt do the GCS before her visa and when she went to do the seminar they told her she not have to do it and go straight to CFO and she said at CFO told her just bring her COPR and she would get stamp but we will find out when she goes back to CFO on tuesday as CFO was closed for holy week

As I understand it, you havent gotten an approval yet. But you applied long before. What could have been the problem with ur application? Did you make a follow up of your application?

Hi fireflyers,

Actually sis its just happened unexpectedly that last month on its third week my ECAS shown DM then 3days after my passport delivered via DHL. But you're so right sis,we've waited for a long time than usual. I think one of the factor, that might caused the delayed of our application process was our late payment of RPRF which I just did when CEM called me and gave me the notification that my husband wasn't paid yet for the said payments.Then I asked my husband about it but he honestly told me that he doesn't knew anything about it.And CEM told me that i could make the payment done here through issuance of manager's cheque from any bank institutions here.Then another factor I think was the separate date of sending back of our additional documents requested by CEM ,which I did because of the long waiting for my NBI to get released which I decided to send as to be follow.

I think me and my husband wasn't had enough sufficient knowledge before we file our application to make it fast and more accurate systematically as usual.

Maybe if I had known this forum before we had filed our application,I could surely say that we wont wait that long like we've been waited to get our application, done.Coz I learned that this forum made, to help and support each other without hesitation,with all love and concern to those whom in need regardless of our different circumstances. Whew! ;D

But the most important now i learned that no matter how long it takes for us to wait there's only one good reason for sure that will keep us hoping and expect each day that we'll have it and cause us to keep moving to gained character ,is that we all know that there's a great future ahead with our loved ones in exchange of it.

Its such a great privilege and honor to be part of this forum..

Sis,thank you so much po and to all of you guys.. :-* :-* :-* :-*


May God be with us all and may lead us for the best future He ordained ahead of us! :-* :-* :-*
