SPOUSE / FAMILY CLASS timeline MANILA Visa Office PHILIPPINES

[CES777]

When I attended PDOS at CFO last March, we were told that International license is not really needed. Because you can actually use your Philippine License to drive. Upon arrival, your license is good up to 60-90 days, depending on which province in Canada you are going. Sa Toronto kasi up to 60 days lang. After that, you will still need to apply for local driver's license. The advantage of having Authenticated Driver's License Certificate is for you to get some credits when you apply for local driver's license in Canada. Otherwise, you will start as beginner. Be advised though that even if you get credits but you don't pass the exam, you may still be required to take the 1st level exam.

thank you!

i went to St. Luke last monday for retake of medical exam.

aside from medical fee of 8,000 - additional 1,300 for vaccine if no vaccine taken yet. and 495 for women for pregnancy test before vaccine.

almost 10k na rin nagastos ko nung monday.

Wow! A bit costly.. i went for upfront medical last year at IOM and cost me 5,000.00 php.. including everything.. and mabilis lang yong medical examination.. di nila ako ne required ng vaccination gaya ng mga nasambit dito.. since my medical expired last week IOM ulit ako mag pa medical if may request na from CEM.

Are you still in Manila? I already got mine last month. Punta ka lang LTO Main office sa QC with a copy of your ID and copy ng official receipt ng license mo. Fill-up ka form then pay 100 pesos. May ibigay sayo na Claim Stub then you will gave to go to DFA Macapagal after a week and pick up your Authenticated LTO Certificate. Bayad ka ulit ng 100 pagpunta mo sa DFA.

Authenticated lang ba talaga ang option sa LTO certification na yun? Di ba pwedeng simple certification lang na same-day pickup? I recall reading na hindi required ang DFA authentication for Alberta and British Columbia, and sa Ontario naman, sabi doon if the certification was issued by the same jurisdiction that issued the license (in this case, LTO), no need for DFA/embassy's authentication.

Good day! Kakatapos lang po ng medical ko kanina, clear naman sa lahat. Ano po bang next steps dito? And yung receipt po ba ipapadala ko pa sa canada? Pwede po makahingi ng advice. Salamat po. Goodluck sa ating lahat.

You may try. In my case, am just playing safe and gathering documents upfront that I think would be beneficial later on. Just taking advantage of the time and cost while still in Manila Applying for local license in Canada is almost the same as applying for a visa with them. Some are lucky when their package lands in the hands of a lenient officer, while some are not so lucky and getting a hard time. I say this because I've read some post comments on one's blog wherein just showing the OR of their Philippine license (as they apply for a local license in Canada), they automatically gets credit so they already get to skip 1st level test. With some applicants, showing the OR or their Philippine license were not being accepted. Instead, they were asked to get Authenticated Certification from our LTO office here. Otherwise, start na lang as beginner

Thanks! Sigh. You have a point. Might as well play it safe to be sure.
In the end, it's better for me to pick it up at DFA Aseana rather than going back to LTO Main if it takes a few days for the certification alone.

Just Checked ECAS still In-process both sides. Nag PPR nung May 11, 2016, CEM received the PP nung May 13, 2016.

Sa mga nag land na, hindi ko na kasi maalala nung kami noon 4 years ago. Ilang oras ang layover time niyo sa Vancouver, Canada para matapos lahat ng stops (Custom check, Immigration)

may flight kasi na 2 hours lang ang layover time at meron din 5 hours? just wondering kung ilan oras itinagal niyo para matapos lahat ng stop. Baka kasi maiwanan ng eroplano mag ina ko at kulangin ang 2 hours.

Sa LTO Main lang ang request ng certification for purposes of travelling abroad. You will fill up a form, pay 100 pesos, then they will give you a claim stub that you will bring to DFA Aseana to pick up the Authenticated Cert. One week after ang pick up sa DFA and may date din naman nakalagay sa claim stub. You pay another 100 pesos sa DFA so bale 200 all-in-all ang magastos mo.. Mabilis lang din sa LTO Main pag mag request ka na. Yung sa kin wala pang 5 minutes tapos na ko

hi! upfront medical ba ginawa mo? if upfront, include mo sa application mo yung e-medical form and copy ng receipt, yan ang proof of medical exam mo na nirequire sa checklist.

Ano po bang yung upfront?

 

[Survivor27]

Ano po bang yung upfront?

Upfront = in advance / made in advance / ahead of time.

 

[leof]

Ano po bang yung upfront?

sa application, pag sinabi natin upfront nag pamedical ka na before pa irequest ng embassy. usually we do this before submitting applications para pag nakuha yung proof of medical which is yung information sheet isasama ito sa application package

 

[SAMANTALA]

Good day! Kakatapos lang po ng medical ko kanina, clear naman sa lahat. Ano po bang next steps dito? And yung receipt po ba ipapadala ko pa sa canada? Pwede po makahingi ng advice. Salamat po. Goodluck sa ating lahat.

Hi! I just want to know how did you got a form, is it Appendix C or the clinic gives form for the upfront medical?
