Starting Life in CANADA - Tips & Stories

[chockulit]

^Sis paano kung wala kang relative sa Canada, pwede ka pa rin bang mag-apply sa Provincial Nominee Program?

[galbi]

Pwedeng mag-apply as a provincial nominee kahit walang relative sa Canada but you must have at least two close friends who can provide family-like support and who are willing to sign affidavits of support for you and your dependents. Yun nga lang, priority stream kasi yung may relative, may Canadian experience (thru schooling or a job), or direct employer.

[chockulit]

Sayang.  Pwede pala yun.  Nakaapply na kasi kami sa FSW program.

^ I couldn't find a website and when I called (10 pm) I got a direct voicemail. No additional numbers, extensions or information. They don't seem very professional. It is a little shady but I can be mistake. You should check to see if they're registered with The Better Business Bureau.

hello mga sis

my family and i are leaving for canada on june 9. we will be staying at rupert st, vancouver.

to those who are in canada already, what are the best things to bring that are expensive there but cheaper here to buy in the phils

thanks 

[chazin_dawn]

^ halos lahat sis except for furniture. we even brought our chinas and art frames buti na lang hindi nabasag sa sa eroplano. sa una sis you will find it expensive kasi maiisip mo ang peso value pero masasanay ka rin kasi affordable din naman. tsaka ang sale talagang sale.

[chazin_dawn]

^ dito sa [textspeak!] mahirap makahanap ng permanent job halos lahat temporary. And mababa ang starting rate. I read in a newspaper a few months ago that the hourly rate in [textspeak!] should start at 16/hr as suppose to 8/hr. I think other provinces increased their hourly wage ang [textspeak!] naiwan. Imbyerna talaga si Gordon Campbell.

Malaki ang naging epekto ng recession sa States kasi most companies are American-owned and most projects are funded by the American kaya marami ding natigil na projects.

^if ever, international student ka ba? Kase kung oo, sobrang laki ng tuition non. Mga x3 siguro. 

[stylista]

in our company, they just laid off 7 people. buti nga ako hindi pa natanggal coz im in maternity leave but I will be back on tuesday.

[chazin_dawn]

^ I agree pag International Student mas malaki ang bayad at maraming requirements. Pero kung dito ka as an immigrant depende naman sa course na kukunin mo. kung yung course is classified as a Continued Education walang requirements. Register lang tapos bayad upfront. Pero kung magfu-full time student ka hihingan ka nung mga pre-requisite courses from Highschool depende sa course na kukunin mo. Meron din naman part-time na paisa-isa ang subject. Kuha ka ng student loan. I will be studying this September as a part time student. Full time pa rin ang job. hindi ako nagstudent loan kasi hindi pwede dun sa program na kinuha ko. Federal loan lang ang pwede yata which means dapat ma-lay off ako para bayaran nila tuition fee. Kaya kumuha ako ng line of credit sa bank. same as credit card pero lower ang interest rate
