All set na kami to journey on Winter (30 December) for whiter pasture (hindi greener)
Got ticket PAL (12hrs direct) for Vancouver (early booking para medyo mura), we booked for a Hotel (Days Inn Vancouver Airport) through Agoda (Reasonable price), next day Air Canada for Saskatoon. Done lahat through on-line booking (no cash available kase - nice thing may credit cards) ;D
By the way, just done with PDOS last 1 AUG 14... (Hahapin kase ang PDOS sticker sa Immigration pag alis).
Seminar lasted for almost 3 hours.
Smooth lang ang processing kase we arrived early (around 7am - kase maulan ata baka matraffic).
Parked sa Shakeys (Nagpaalam kami para sure na ok lang-then dun na rin kami lunch).
Pila ng kunti bigay valid ID for security ID and get our number (24) then wait for a while (best thing na nag fill-up kami online form kaya di na kami nagfill up) -http://pre-registration.cfo.gov.ph/
Prepare documents in the following sequence: Photo (upper top right side), PDOS form, photocopy of Visa & photocopy of Passport (stapled na dapat kase strict sila pag di nakastaple). Ready na din original Passport.
8AM start na processing (antay tawag number para pakita mga documents) and payment (400 each including our 2 children pero na namin sinama).
After payment, wait kami na mag 9:30 AM para umakyat sa taas for seminar.
Habang antay, may registration ang COMELEC for absentee voting (pde pa bumoto sa 2016 election for national candidates) habang antay mag start and seminar... super lamig sa seminar room (practice daw- d kami nakadala ng jacket).
Nun natapos na seminar, ang facilitator ba mismo distribute ng passport with CFO (PDOS) sticker
Overall... excellent day naman kahit gutom na kase mga 12:30 na natapos...
Try nyo din attend ng COA sa IOM... the best trainor, Serge Bisson....
Pati sa CIIP... great na may action plan...
Sa ating lahat, Good luck....
