Please post a reply to this I have client from Manila and they all complain they had to purchase a two way flight even though it can never be used. The max I was told an airfare can be used is within one year, my clients are planning to stay two years.
Let me know if the one way plan fare is sufficient for Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
Thanks
This is the philippine and canada immigration reply on my return ticket enquiry:
Dear Madam:
This refers to your enquiry.
Please be advised that we do not offer individualized counselling to applicants regarding purchase of plane tickets. It is up to the applicants with Supervisa to decide whether they will purchase return tickets or not. Please also be advised that Filipino nationals with Supervisa may be eligible for an extended authorized stay for a period of up to two years. However, only the Officer at the port of entry in Canada will have the authority to decide until when they can remain Canada.
We trust this information is of assistance.
Yours sincerely,

Subject: Round trip ticket for Super Visa holder
Dear Visa Officer,
I would like to know about the air Ticket for Super Visa Holder. As it is said, Super Visa is good up to 2 years. Airlines does not issue ticket that is good for 2 years, and as you know there is no refund or rebooking on the ticket if we get one good for 6 months or so.
The Philippine Immigration is asking a document to show at the Airport from Canadian Embassy stating that it is ok to not have a return ticket for Super Visa Holder.
I am so confuse what to do, I don't want to waste hard earned money to buy a return ticket that can't be refunded or rebookable.
Please enlighten me to this issue.
Sincerely Yours,

This is my email reply to Philippine Immigration:
Dear Ma’am,
Good day! If the Canadian embassy states that they do not require return tickets for super visa holders, kindly secure a written document from them. Your parents can present this to the airline and immigration counter officer so they can exempt them with such.
You can check with the Canadian embassy at www.manila-embassy.com/canada.html.
Thank you.

Dear Visa Officer,
Thank You for your reply. My parents are filipinos, this is their first time traveling abroad.
Canadian embassy does not require return ticket for Super Visa Holder, but the Philippine immigration requires a roundtrip ticket for tourist. I heard from Filipino Super Visa holder that the Philippine Immigration at the Philippine Airport asks for the return ticket, I don't understand why we have to waste money to buy a return ticket that we cannot use because it expires in 1 year.
Please enlighten me with this issue. I don't want my parents will be refuse to go out of the country because of this reason.
Thank you again.
