Hello sis!!! ;) ;D

Ask ko lang, ilang kilo yung application kit mo na pinadala mo sa sponsor mo? Dami nyo siguro proof of relationship, hehehhe!!!! One more question, pwede ba na transparent envelope ang gamitin sa pag-sort ng mga documents sa application namin or brown envelope talaga? :'( ???

May pinadala sakin ang husband ko na FedEx ang laki ng envelope, eh diba isasama ko yung envelope na yun as proof of our relationship!!! Or yung receipt na lang ng FedEx? hehehe!!!! :p
Naka dalawang half kilo packages lang ako. Dalawa kasi nagkamali pa kami so nagsend ulit ako ng isa pang package one week after! Kakafrustrate haha. Anyway, yung mga proof kasi namin hinanada ko na bago pa umalis si M, husband ko. Nagpaprint kami ng photos, around 200 ata, tapos nag collect na kami nung mga plane tickets, hotel receipts, etc, at pinadala ko na sa kanya paguwi nya ng Canada.

As for organizing, di ako 100% sure kasi si M yung nag final ayos bago ipadala sa CPC-M. Ang sabi nya lang sakin nilagay nya sa smaller envelope lahat ng proofs namin, like yung photos naka rubber band. Siguro yung receipt nalang isama mo kung gusto isama yung Fedex as proof :) di ko pala natanong ilan total weight ng app namin lol

Hello, check this link po: http://www.slec.ph/canada-visa-applicants.shtml#required-docs

But! Magdala narin po kayo ng photocopies ng Appendix C and data page ng passport nyo. In addition po yan sa passport, 9 photos and Appendix C na dadalin nyo. Take note rin po yung P5250 fee, and sa anak nyo po, check nyo lang po yung table sa age nya. Good luck po!

....and over $45,000.00 I have spent travel to Manila 4 times...

.... looks like we are going to wait along time and then start all over again.. going to wait for 150 days from SA then ask my MP if my application is there....
Wow, that's livin' LARGE! Am sure glad our (2nd) home, is in the provinces. Been there 3 times for $18,000 (that's generous) AND that paid for BIG wedding whilst there!

I was gonna say 'end of February' to hear "something", but your 150 days has got that covered and then some!

Good health to you both!

That IS living large. Here's a tip Chelyfan, when you go out for dinner you don't have to bring 14 family members each time :p Just kidding.. We have a hard time avoiding situations like this, luckily we like to stick to ourselves. I figure each trip is from 3K to 5K. We like to have a nice vacation when there, seeing some sights and eating in nice places. Once or twice we will treat the whole family for a trip to the beach or the pool. Yeah, our expenditure is a little silly compared to the regular price of living, but it's hard for me to feel comfortable there. Come over and join our English thread Chelyfan.. There's no use in talking these guys into using it because most of them won't. Nosebleed.... haha

Yeah, I noticed that. One would think that using English would not only be good from the standpoint of practice for when they arrive in Canada, but also that the chances of getting an answer to any question will increase dramatically since almost everyone here speaks English.

I have worked at a number of places where you get people who like to group up and speak in their native language. They usually become friends, hang together in the office, speak their language unless they have to talk to someone else for work, eat lunch together etc. It sounds nice and if they want to do it why not? Well, here's why not. Usually these are the people that never get noticed and never get promotions. It is because they are completely off the radar of everyone else at the company.

So when many of you arrive you should try to expand your contacts and speak the language. Finding only others like yourselves and speaking your own language unless absolutely necessary is not a route for success.

Just some friendly advice. Take it or leave it as you like.

They want to feel comfortable..that's fine. And they want to completely understand and give each other advice.. also fine with me. They will have to speak English soon anyways... :p (.. evil laugh.. you will be assimilated..)

At work we had a rule. English only in public places. It's so that people don't appear rude in front of their co-workers or customers. I long gave up getting frustrated trying to read this thread.. not being able to ask questions or follow along. If we're not Filipinos at least we're married to one. Obviously we are invested enough to know and love the culture. Even if I did the nice thing and learned the language of my partner I couldn't understand this thread. Would Ilokano or Bisayan help me here? ??? It would be nice if we could all talk together.

Hey guys :) i believe that many of us here are quite capable of speaking decent English. It's not that we want to exclude others, but I think that speaking Tagalog does help other members who would rather speak the native language. I don't want to come across as rude by speaking Tagalog, an I do appreciate your insights with regards to the importance of English in Canada. Thank you for the tips. And please don't hesistate to ask to ask or comment in this thread, even though most of the posts are in Tagalog. You will find that you will get answers, whether your post is in English or Tagalog. We are a friendly bunch here. You can ask our buddy Tagum who has made quite a few friends despite not speaking Tagalog. I am posting my own thoughts here, and the opinions i have expressed may not necessarily reflect those of the other members here

Just my two cents. :) Peace out.

I guess the point you just made yourself is that it's a preference and not a necessity.. a preference which excludes others. I don't mind anymore as I have given up trying to follow.. you know how desperately I want to follow everyone's progress. If it makes you guys comfortable I will just be happy on my own.
