had the same issue before but luckily our papers were transferred to manila.
Sana matransfer din sa inyo.
I could still read sa lumang thread naming na may mga naghhntay pa din ng MR from 2013 applicants.

Hi,

Hello! We finally received PPR a week after my hubby's re x-ray which was exciting ! But on saturday, my daughter had an appendectomy. Do i need to inform my visa office about it? Will it cause anya delay? Appreciate ur help on this...

HI Forumates!

May I ask for everyone's help. My husband and I will be landing this June and our POF is less than the minimum amount required by CIC...15K CAD.
We can only bring 14k cad... Can we still enter Canada without problems with Immigration Officers and CBSA?

Appreciate some advice.

Thank you so much.

Hi. Hindi ka naman magkakaproblema dyan basta declare mo lang yung amount na dala niyo.

Hi Kitsunedream. Isn't this risky? CIC has specified that we bring the min amount. I have read in the forum that most have experienced that they do not actually look or count the cash/check that we bring. Isn't it better if cadream will just tell the immig officer that he brought the min amount required by CIC?

Hello forummates! We finally received last May 26 our medical request after we submitted additional documents requested by SGVO. Narereject ba or bumabagsak sa medical pag my primary complex ang dependent? My 2.5 year old daughter had it in 2014, right after her 1st birthday. She took medications and nagclear na. However, pina-skin test namin sya the other day kasi inuubo ulit and sadly nagpositive sa PPD test. Pero sa xray cleared naman. Any advice?

By the way, sa St Luke's Fort namin balak ipa-medical and 2 kids namin while kami ng wife ko dito sa SG since we're both based here.

Thanks in advance sa sasagot.

Kumusta na sa lahat ng andito, medyo ang tagal ko ring di nabisita ang forum na ito. Eh pano, matinding depresyon ang pinagdaanan ng lola nyo simula ng dumating dito sa Canada, July last year. katulad ng kwento ni Spankfire at iba pang ka-forums na dumating na dito. Magkukwento din ako tulad ni Spankfire. Sa Pilipinas, nagtuturo ako sa UP for almost 2 decades at dahil nabagot ako sa pagtuturo, nag desisyong sumubok pumunta dito sa Canada. ALam nyo ano ang naging trabaho ko pagdating? CLEANER ng isang pub, kasama ko si hubby,4:30 ng umaga kami naglilinis araw-araw sa pub. Sya sa kitchen at floor. ako naman sa bar at washrooms. Isipin nyo kung gaano ka dugyot ang mga washrooms, halos bumaliktad ang sikmura ko sa simula. Tapos may Pilipinong nagpasok sa akin sa isang hotel bilang housekeeper. At pinagsabay ko ang 2 work sa loob ng isang buwan para lang di mabawasan yung baon naming pera. 4:30 nasa pub ako tapos 8 ng umaga nasa hotel. Tsk, tsk. 30 minutos lang lilinisin ang isang room sa hotel, mantakin nyo, 16 rooms sa loob ng 8 oras. sobrang manual labor talaga, daig ko pa ata ang magsasaka. sobrang back-breaking at nerve-wracking ng trabaho, lalo na kung puro check-outs ang lilinisin mo. So, anong nangyari sa pride at self-worth ko? sobrang eroded, napulbos nga ata, mula sa pagiging propesor napunta sa pagiging utility worker at Inday minion(yung uniform ko sa hotel katulad nung suot ng katulong na minion). For 4 months lutang ang utak ko, wala akong konsepto ng future. maka-survive lang sa maghapon ang hangad ko. Maaring coping mechanism ito sa sobra-sobrang depresyong pinagdaanan ko. Very disruptive ang pakiramdam ( culture shock is an understatement). Nakakabaliw! hinanap ko ang tilaok ng manok maging langaw, bakit sila wala. Para akong aso na nawalan ng teritoryo at naputulan ng buntot. Pero alam nyo, sa kabila ng nakakabaliw na depresyon at kahit sobrang naghihimagsik ang aking kalooban at isipan habang naglilinis sa hotel nakakuha ako ng papuri sa aking manager na puti. makailang ulit akong nasasabihan ng "excellent", "i know you dont want to be a housekeeper but i am glad we found you, you're a good cleaner". Na-realize ko na posible palang gawing perpekto at mahusay ang isang bagay kahit sobra ang disgusto mo at may matinding pinagdadaanan. Pano pa kung yung gusto at pangarap mo ang tatrabahuin mo. Alam nyo imbis na piliin ko palaging panghinaan ng loob, to feel defeated and trapped, pinili kong kumuha ng panibagong lakas at motivation sa pinagdadaanan ko. I was inspired! kung nakaya kong maging magaling na housekeeper, kaya ko ring maging mahusay na accountant balang araw dito. Kumuha ako ng Academic IELTS at nag-review ako ng husto nung December habang mahina ang hotel at wala akong duty palagi. Nakakuha ako ng mataas na score na higit pa sa hinihingi ng Unibersidad. Mahirap ang exam ngunit nag sikap ako. Ngayon, papasok na ako sa University of British Columbia, panibagong career sa Accounting ang kukunin ko this May. Sa awa ng Diyos nakakuha ako ng student loan at kasalukuyang naghihintay ng resulta sa isang scholarship grant. Nagtatrabaho pa rin ako sa hotel, at may 2 akong anak na inaalagaan, isang 6 na taon at isang 13 anyos. marami akong obligasyon pero di ko pwedeng isang tabi ang aking pangarap na bumuti ang aming buhay dito sa Canada. Di ko maalagaan ng husto ang mga anak ko at ang aking asawa kung wala akong personal fulfillment. 44 anyos na ako, matanda na sabi nila, pero what the heck! Ayaw kong mamatay na pinagsisihan pa rin kung bakit di ko inilaban ang aking pangarap. I am willing to struggle, bring it on! Habang dumadami ang hirap na pinagdadaanan ko, lalong lumalakas ang loob ko na kamtin ang tagumpay! I want to create a great narrative for myself!Kaya natin ito mga kapatid, mahalaga kung paano natin tingnan at i- interpret ang ating mga karanasan sa bansang ito. Ang hirap ay kakambal ng buhay kahit saan tayo pumunta, di natin ito matatakasan, bakit di natin ito gawing kakampi!

Hi Scout,

Can you share your story on Pinoy FSWP 2014 facebook group? This will be an inspiration for us.

If you agree, I can share it. It is just really inspiring lalo sa kagaya ko na wala naman din kakilala jan sa Canada. This is the reason kaya ng soft-land lang ako. I need to be not just financially but most importantly emotionally and psychologically prepared.

Things will be better. As they say, an arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it’s going to launch you into something great.

Cheers,

Thank you for your reply. wala pa akong cra myaccount. Kararating lang namin dito last 16th of May 2016. illegible naba kami sa benefits na yan, kahit bago palang kami? so ibig sabihin hindi pa kami illegible kasi wala pa kaming previous year's income? salamat po sa pagtityagang bigyan ako ng information.

God bless you

 

[pie_vancouver]

^Pwede na, mail mo yung form, yung previous years income ay income nyo sa Pinas converted to CAD estimate lang, di ko sure process ngayon ah pagkasend mo ng form

Hi everyone. For those who have already enrolled their children to school, do they really look for the immunization records? We have a concern since the baby book of my daughter was destroyed during ondoy and her pedia has long migrated to Dubai without turning over her records to another pedia. We know that she has already undergone all the vaccinations required but we have no proof to show. We do not want her naman to go through again all the vaccinations because aside from the fact that it will be very expensive, it may have adverse effects on her health. Thanks in advance for any advice.
