Congrats Conradfael!
Thanks lovely. Baka PPR ka na kasi nung magPPR ako tinawagan din ako ng embassy. Buti nalang right before sila tumawag nabasa ko na yung email ng PPR na kami. Delayed kasi yung email ng representative ko regarding PPR. They called me twice to ask kung napadala ko na yung passports. The first time sabi ko I just read the email, the second time I told them na they would be receiving it that day. So... baka PPR ka na nga!!! ;)

Congratulations! All the best on your Landing next year!
Hindi lang ikaw ang ganyan ang reaction - halos lahat yata kung pwedeng i-video at ilagay sa Youtube ganun din. Itong immigration process is really a test of wills, simula sa panic/nerbyos sa pag-buo ng application/package at fill-up ang forms, sa pagalala kung umabot sa CIO, sa halos pagkabaliw sa paghihintay sa AOR, sa tuwang-tuwa na me AOR....sa paghihintay ng MR....sa panic na walang nakikitang gumagalaw....etc. You know the rest...you have gone through it. And came out successful.

Tapos na ang application process, so take a bit of time to enjoy this over the weekend, before hunkering down to preparations for moving to Canada.

/..atb
You are absolutely right ragluf. I am just relaxing a bit and getting ready to hand in my letter of leave on Monday and start putting price tags on our things on Tuesday. We will start disposing our things lalo na ngayon daming may Christmas bonus hehehe...

Aside from travel agencies that provide promos to first-time immigrants (popular in the PH is St. Raphael and CICTravel), generally all fares are high during holiday season. You have to avoid the holiday rush, generally this is the season for high fares as there is more traffic in the Asia region, and many kababayans coming to get vacations.

Going through the US is an alternative as Delta (formerly Northwest) does have seasonal promo fares from Manila (via Japan), but then transiting through the US will require a transit visa.

Also make your travel dates on the weekdays - as there is generally lower fares flying on the weekends, plus airports are not too busy when compared to weekends.



I can only offer you a guide here I use that you can make use to work with any travel agency - be mindful of the reverse of peak seasons between North America and Asia when scheduling flights:
1. During late spring/summer season in North America - lots of people actually go on vacations (kids are out of school) thus flight fares are also high; but this corresponds to low season in Asia (typically around June-early September); flight fares to North America are trending low during this time as the low fares for flight legs within Asia offset the high fares for the flight legs in North America.

ex. (July - September)
Leg 1: MNL - NRT (low season) = low fare
MNL - YVR (low season) = low fare (longest leg)

Leg 2: YVR - YYZ (high season NA) = high fare (short leg)

Leg 1 + Leg 2 = average low fare for total trip

2. During Oct-December, it is holiday season, so there are high fares in NA (Thanksgiving holidays included) plus high season in Asia
ex. (Oct-Dec)
Leg 1: MNL - NRT (high season) = high fare
MNL - YVR (high season) = high fare (longest leg)

Leg 2: YVR - YYZ (high season NA) = high fare (short leg)

Leg 1 + Leg 2 = average highest fare for total trip

3. During Feb - early April, avoid the early weeks of January as this is when people come back from vacations. It is winter in NA, so not a lot of people fly, so there are low fares in NA. Although it is still somewhat of high season in Asia, the low fares in NA will offset the high fares in Asia. The risk is flying in winter within NA, as it choppy and more chances of stoppages/delays.
ex. (Feb - April)
Leg 1: MNL - NRT (still high season but not peak) = high to average fare
MNL - YVR (still high season but not peak) = high to average fare (longest leg)

Leg 2: YVR - YYZ (low season NA) = low fare (short leg)

Leg 1 + Leg 2 = average lower fare for total trip

/..hth

Tabs, aside sa medical abstract, why not get a copy of your operative record and a medical certificate as well... Just to solidify your proof... Having additional proof I think never hurts...
