Note that if you vacation in the PH before going to Canada as an immigrant/in possession of an immigrant visa, you will fall under PH exit procedures for immigrants. Meaning - you will need to go through the pre-departure seminars (CFO) prior to leaving for Canada, regardless of where your visa was issued.

Will take note. Super dami ko natututunan dito. Salamat ulit.
 
hello po sa mga may Visa na from UAE or those already landed in Canada. Ask ko lang po sana kung may mga documents bang hahanapin or kakailanganin pa sa Canada na dapat kunin from UAE? May visa na po kasi ako at balak ko ng umuwi ng Pinas para dun and departure ko going to Canada. Para alam ko lang sana bago ako umuwi ng Pinas para makakuha na ako, just in case mayron ngang docs na kailangan pa..Thanks po ng marami

Kung may visa ka na....wala ka nang kailangan docs from UAE... Need mo na lang is to attend PDOS but I recommend attending CIIP as well dahil it will help you a lot on getting information what lies ahead...it's NOT sugar & honey lalong ng hindi OIL...mas mahirap sa Canada kaysa sa Middle East. Before you embark on the plane to ME...alam mo na na may trabaho ka! :( ;D ;D

THANKS Ragluf! I appreciate so much your help...especially during those times when I'm struggling to locate/transfer my file. Your assistance is pivotal! MARAMING SALAMAT ;D ;D ;D

No worries. :):):).

If you have time, would you mind to guide itguy29 on how to try to locate the file? I think he is right now in the same boat as you before when you were trying to get the whereabouts of your file post CIO submission. Having gone through that process, and seeing the similarities between your applications, you would be the best-placed resource person to provide assistance.

today 7am, Canada time, my sponsor confirmed she received my LOA letter. wooot! woot! I asked her to scan and send to me via email first before she sends it through courier.

thank you tabs179 for suggesting I start collating my documents for CIO, now I already have half of my credentials intact.

thank God and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for me indeed! ;D ;D ;D

God bless everyone, yours will be next. =)

Hi Sir Ragluf,
I need some views & insights po regarding sa update na nareceived ko ngaun thru snail mail. PNP applicant po ako at Abu Dhabi po visa office naming ng family ko. We received our medical request from ADVO on Nov.18. Me & my hubby d2 po sa Dubai & my 2 kids, at St.Lukes Ermita. During my kids medical on Nov.26, my eldest, 9yrs old, was asked to have 2 kind of x rays. Today nakatanggap po ako ng medical furtherance &stated that details were send thru the E medical file. Nagtataka lang po ako at little bit confused dahil yung snail mail po ay from CIC,High Commission of Canada, Health branch, New Delhi India. Is this normal?
Thank you po in advance ulit at maraming salamat po sa walang sawang paggabay mo po sa amin.

PM sent...
