My husband called up the Embassy coz there was no way I could talk to anyone on their hotline. I have contacted the Consulate in Cebu, talked to the seminar coordinators and CFO people and ang sabi only the Embassy can answer my concern which is weird coz I cannot speak to anyone over the phone. I found out that there was an emergency option on the hotline pero Canadian Citizens lang entertain nila....so pinatawag ko si hubby. He was told that I just leave it as is...................not to worry.................and that they will just make me sign over it when I get to the point of entry...again.

PHEW!

I survived the day! I am done with PDOS and got my blue and green forms and sticker! All set to go!

Have a wonderful day everyone!
san ka po kumuha ng forms nalilistahan mo mga laman ng luggage mo?
thanks!

I do not have a ticket yet...bakit ang mahal ng quote ng agent ko...1,200USD from Bacolod-Manila/Manila-Vancouver/Vancouver-Calgary. Ganoon ba yun? She cannot confirm daw first time immigrant travel discount. Di ko ma gets. Baka may ma suggest naman kayo jan na travel agent. The other one I emailed hindi pa rin nag reply. I want to leave sana on Monday na. Di naman ako atat ano? Ahehe

Mrsh...promise log in pa rin ako even if maka alis na ako. Whatever problems I may encounter sa travel, immigration, visa, interviews...etc....or absence of problems and I am hoping more for the latter...I will update baka maka tulong din ako. :)

Isang province lang tayo. Edmonton has the biggest mall in the world di ba? Ahehe...shopping shopping ka dun.

simplytin, actually i have not logged in pa to look for that pero may instructions binigay sa PDOS kanina. They gave a form full of information needed. Mamaya na ulit ako obsess about this coz I have literally not slept 24 hours sa nangyari nga sa CPR ko...but I am feeling good and relieved now na I have na everything I came here in Cebu for. Haaaaay....until now I am having adrenalin rush.

all i know is yung forms nasa website lang din ng canadian embassy...may website din naman sila binigay. update kita ha pag naka open na ako...baka tomorrow or tonight.... :)

Actually my husband checked na rin doon and there isn't such a huge difference. Tapos, earlier sa PDOS we were told na tickets purchased there do not have travel tax pa so babayad pa ako from here. Parang ganun na rin. Ang maganda lang sa agent ko is one check in lang ako...so check in ako ng Bacolod....Calgary ko na kunin luggages ko.

regarding pala the hotline...tinawagan ko lang yung nasa website nila... pag pina tawag mo si hubby mo it is +63-2-857-9000. Tapos may machine na sumasagot dun...may choice dun na na press ako where sinabi niya if i want to do an emergency call or something like that....then asked if i am a canadian citizen...when i pressed the number for NO, sabi ng machine, only canadian citizens are allowed to access the emergency line or call. Di ko na ma access kasi ngayon closed na ang office ng embassy. Try mo tomorrow at 8am. I forgot na kasi exactly ano na press ko to get there. But my husband figured it out on his own so pa try mo lang din kay hubby mo.
