talaga sayang naman kung buburahin ko mga movies ko sa hard drive ko, pati mg songs sa iphone. :( kasi baka bigla na lang nilang mpagtripan icheck
Hi, they actually they do a daily random checking so swertihan lang. During my first trip as worker to Canada way back 2008, hand carry ko lang laptop ko and they didnt open it kasi makikita naman sa monitor nila if you have something unusual sa bag mo aside sa laptop. Just pray na lang di matapat sa iyo. Goodluck!

Can anyone help me keep my sanity? ??? Some people got their PPR a few weeks after their sponsor got approved. Some waited for more than a month. Then those who were lucky got their visa within 8 weeks??????What's happening to the Manila Visa office? Someone in the thread, an October applicant, got her visa on January (3 months after application was submitted) while others waited for like 3-4 months just for the visa to come????

I'm going crazy as I was trolling over hunderds of threads and situations....LOL!
Hi, I believe it really depends on the immigration officer who will review our application here in Manila Office, as well the completeness and accuracy of the application submitted. I am just hoping for a kind hearted officer who understands what all the applicants and their families are going through will handle my application... God Bless Us...

hi. tingin ko kaya si Narice21 na DM without re-medical kahit expired na ng jan 2, kasi nagstart ng processing sa CEM ng Nov 24, before magexpire ang medical niya kaya siguro binigyan siya ng 6 months na palugit while yung saakin expired ng jan 4 bago nila i-process sa CEM ng jan 16 kaya umabot yung expired medical ko sa pagprocess at kailangan ko mag re-medical. ang swerte ni narice21 wala ng extra days para magintay sa medical. Congratulations!
@pipay: thanks! siguro if talagang ibibigay ni Lord... kahit anong sablay pa, ibibigay pa rin nya gusto natin in his own perfect time! konting tiis na lang kyo darating na rin un para sa inyo! cheers!!!! :)

check-in mo na lang yan sa bag mo.. kung maglaptop ka naman delete mo na lang ung asa laptop mo.. phone and mp3 player strict talaga sila sa ganun.. meron nagkwento sakin sa vancouver to na habang asa immigration sya (to land) ung katabi daw nya na interview ung bata naka mp3 player eh siguro nakita ng officer check nila so ayun ung bata nagkarecord kase lahat ng asa mp3 download lang and hindi binili.. kawawa naman kakaland lang may record na agad.. saka usually nagrarandom check sila kahit lagpas na ng immigration madalas sa baggage area ung mga nagiikot dun na parang police sila ung mga custom na nagmamasid pag chempuhan or trip nila ichcheck ka nila lalo na sa mga "designer bag" kase marami asian magpapasok ng fake nun eh.. and dapat relax wag kabahan hehe so its up to you kung dedelete mo or hindi pero mas better kung wala para mas safe..

*wala ko idea kung pano ang immigration sa vancouver compare to pearson kase dun pagland mo sa plane derecho na sa immigration wala na dadaanan pag scan ng things hanggang palabas ng airport. (us kase super higpit maraming dadaanan na security so wala ko idea sa vancouver)

Mga kabayan i need answers of some of the confusing things how to send passport in embassy.

1.) i am currently in canada and i sent my passport to my mom so she can include my son passport in the mail before we send it to the embassy.
-question: can my mom personally send it directly to the embassy of canada in manila?
-they have this mail that i need to use courier collect and i am confused. The returning address is my address here in canada. so maybe when they are ready to send back my passport is that when they will contact me and pay the courier before they send my documents?

If anybody has experience about this please share i am just confused.
