Canada thread 2

[kiwi]

sis jetel: oo, sis kasi sayang din yun ibabayad pa sa consultant. Before kasi kasi nagdecide to do it on our own, pumunta rin kasi sa mga consultants. Kaso ikaw din kasi gagawa ng lahat ng legwork kaya we decided na kami na lang, mas tipid pa.

nag uupdate na rin kami ng application namin from 2 yrs ago, nag preprepare na rin sa ielts exam, kaya i want to join this thread for added info.

[choinx]

mga sisses may idea ba kayo kung magkano magagastos ko if mag tour ako sa canada? do i need to have show money?? tia! 

are you applying for a tourist visa or may visa ka na? or American citizen ka?

[chinita8]

mga sis, is it advisable to update your application even before the embassy asks you to update it?? meaning, "kusa" ka mag-susubmit ng mga updates mo sa embassy or wait ka na lang sa sasabihin nila???

[ysangaby]

sis chinita8, yung sa amin kasi we apply thru agency, nung binigay sa amin yung file no. after 3 mos of our application nakalagay dun di ka pwede mag follow up sa canada embassy before 48 months of your application kaya di kami nag uupdate, then suddenly this week tinawagan kami ng agency to comply all our requirements deadline nov 18 this year, including ielts yun and show money, kaya medyo pressure kami kasi napaaga yun tawag sa amin. unexpected baga.

[chinita8]

^sis, where did you apply? what agency?

[ysangaby]

sis, dito ako sa dubai. we paid 100K for agency for the 4 of us. trusted naman yung agency, marami akong friends na naka alis na thru them.

[merry]

hindi ko lan po sure kung mahigpit na sila ngayon kasi before as long as meron ka ng mga pertinent documents for establishing yourself and yung mga show money sa bank statement and sponsorships, pwede na yun. hindi ko lang sure sa panahon ngayon 

ok thank you sis   

are you applying for a tourist visa or may visa ka na? or American citizen ka?

sis, i want to apply for tourist visa 

[switblububbles]

oo nga sis, nagulat din kami sa bilis, nakaka 26 months pa lang kami, di pa nga nag iielts si hubby, sabi upon submission of updated application (considering na naka pasa na sa ielts), mga another 6 months na lang daw hihintayin.

Mga Sis how long bago makuha yung LMO? Sinend na today from Canada yung contract and Kit ko..tapos nagpadala na rin ako money today for the processing of LMO. Gusto ko pa abutin ng Christmas at New Year dito sa Pinas...sa Red Deer City, Alberta yung pupuntahan ko, aabot kaya ng 2 months?

[paula17]

^sis lmo pa lang meron ka. aabutin ka pa ng christmas and new year dyan sa pinas. mag-aapply kpa ng work permit and work visa after mo mareceive ang lmo and contract mo. and hindi po city ang red deer.  sa red deer, ab ka? anong job sis?

[kukay]

^ hay buti naman kung ganon sis hehe...yup sa Red Deer,AB ako sis. Sa restaurant yung work, don't know which one in particular.

[ante_meridiem]

hi mga sis!!! do you know kaya any website where i can find work in canada direct basis. i mean, hindi dadaan sa mga agency? i really want to push my plans of going or working there bringing along my family. ayoko naman kasi dumaan pa sa agency kasi naman ang bongga ng mga fees. least choice ko is to apply for immigrant nga lang di ko naman kasi planong magretire sa canada sa haba ng processing time, gusto ko talaga magwork dun for my family.....     

[chinita8]

Sisses, questions ko lang on IELTS:

1. where do you take this test?
2. how much ang IELTS fee?
3. is it really needed by the canadian embassy?
4. is it necessary to attend an IELTS reviewer class pa? how much ito?
5. if the validity of the score is only for 2 years, then it is better to just take it within the last 2years of your 5yr wait. Tama ba yun??

Thanks to those who will reply.
