Hello everyone! Is it safe to assume na dadating na ang pp with visa in a couple of weeks after ecas status changed to DM? Gusto ko na kase ibook ang flight ng husband ko. DM status on dec 19, ibook ko na sana sya for jan 14 kaso im worried baka dipa dumating ang visa nya nun and need nya pa mag PDOs dba? Mabilis lang kaya magpa schedule ng PDOS?
We assume yes also. We got DM on Dec 15, and flights are booked for January 17. Fingers and Toes crossed :)

You can book a flight 2 or 3 days before you wish to travel and still get a reasonable price. Just type flights to Toronto or wherever in Google and you can do some research. I will not book until I have visa in hand. It could be An expensive way to learn to be patient :eek:. Also. WhAt is PDOs

PDOS is the mandatory seminar that needs to be attended in either Manila or CEBU. You receive a sticker for your Passport which allows you to exit the country with your Canadian PR document and Passport.

We booked our flights on Jan 17, as I am already flying back to Canada on that date, and wanted my fiance to fly back on the same day. If we end up moving the flights to a later date, not a big deal. We also bought cancellation insurance just to be sure. A gamble lol, but one worth taking based on the great price we got on the additional flight.

I would be interested to know what you paid for your flights. Sometimes you get stuck for a long time waiting for a connecting flight or not enough time. A warning to all who connect through Vancouver. You go through immigration at your point of entry into Canada. Please make sure you leave enough Time between flights. 1 1/2 hour is not enough time to do everything that is required
