HI GUYS!! ARIIVED AT TORONTO YESTERDAY SEPT 11 @ 5PM ( september 11 - 5 am philippine time
happy to be with my hubby..

but he has to go to work today so ill be seeing him this pm again..

GOOD LUCK ;D ;D)
Welcome to Canada KMAEP. LOL, sounds like a typical life here in Canada....work, Work and more WORK...hehe..Truth is, it's hard to get a vacation (depending on what you do) or we work (a lot) and then go away for vacation (a lot too :) ). Unlike back home in the Philippines it is like vacation everyday..lol. Toronto is like Manila, lots of things to do. Enjoy!

I can't remember listing everything I have on my luggage when I first set foot in Canada nor on my previous trips. It doesn't have to be itemized. Basta ilagay lng na clothings, food, electronics, ect. May checklist naman. They are only after you if you have cash of over ?10,000cnd (i think), fire arms, deadly weapons and the likes. Make sure you don't bring any fruits with seeds, no meat products even chicharon kc balat yan ng baboy, even noodles kc yung iba nakalagay beef/chicken/pork flavour, no corn beef also. Most of the time nakakalusot pero kapag nakumpiska di naman usually nagpepenalty. They might ask you if you are bringing bagoong. Custom people are very much aware of Filipinos and their bagoongs, lol.

that's correct. You have to declare restricted items only, such as amounts; and quantities of items in excess of allowable/tax free. Items that are prohibited cannot be allowed even if you declare.

You can request seat from your travel agent or at the check-in counter. While at the check-in make sure you ask them to send your luggages to the airport of your final destination (Canada) which is very usual. But I had an experience of transferring to a connecting flight within Canada and lost my luggage on the first airport. Only handcarries (handbag and one overnight luggage) that you take inside the plane is the only thing you carry to your next terminal. i always hand carry my laptop and my dslr bag but made sure my overnight is small so I wont look over baggaged. Consult your airline for allowed baggages. If not sure where to go when transferring flight, follow where the crowd goes and make sure you read signs in case you are following the wrong crowd, lol. Goodluck!
