[sweet21]

hi mga sis ask ko lang ano kaya yung best application na applicable sakin kasi plan ko din mag apply ng visa sa Canada, my two sisters are currently living in Toronto yung isa kong sis citizen na and my other sis is a working immigrant, ok lang if mag apply ako ng tourist and then don ko nalang i upgrade to working visa if ever makahanap ako ng job don.. or is it best if i apply here sa Manila (working visa)..ang tagal ko na din gusto mag apply pero tinatamad ako hehe.. pero ngayon gusto ko na..

Hi mga sis! we're planning to migrate in Canada. doing some research pa naman. anyway where should we start? anong agency if ever ang ok at talagang tutulong sayo at di ka peperahan? any other insights on migrating in Canada? gusto ko kasi sana sabay sabay kami 3 ng family ko. thanks in advance! =)

[bubbles_sandy]

we consulted a agency recently regarding migration to Canada, one of the option is arranged employment program. medyo mahirap din kasi it's a do it yourself program.

[babyluvs_78]

bubbles_sandy: what agency is that? share naman. thanks! =)

[bubbles_sandy]

^sis, for a 30k amount they will give you a link to start with your online application. You have to search for employer in Canada. One may employer ka na, so have to add additional 30k for processing. haven't tried it yet.

hiyee! tanong ko lang po..pag mag aapply for federal skilled worker, kelangan pa bang mag take ng ielts?

[babyluvs_78]

bubbles_sandy: not guarantee yun right?

[gorgeous_mommie]

sisses ask ko lang.. paano ba processing ng SW1? kung husband ko ang principal.. should i also send my sch credentials sa embassy?o si hubby nalang? need to know kasi para ma prepare ka lahat docs needed if ever..ty

[lclanzaderas]

help, sisses! i received a letter from the govt of alberta canada yesterday. big deal ba yun? i mean, i don't really know what to make of it. pinag-register ako sa website nila to get a "welcome to alberta" kit which i will be receiving daw in 8-10 weeks. the first paragraph in the letter says:
The Government of Alberta recently sent letters to a number of potential immigrants who had indicated interest in immigrating to Alberta through the Government of Canada's Federal Skilled Worker Program, and you were among the names on the list.
Should I get my hopes up?

[beautz]

yes sis, try it. basta wag ka lang maglabas ng pera muna baka kasi scam yan... pero malay mo parang the state itself nominated you for the skilled worker category.. Libre lang naman yung kit. as far as i know... kasi i have a kit sa mannitoba naman... bigay lang din ng friend ko.. free lang yun.

[lclanzaderas]

thanks beautz.
ah, ganon lang pala yun, reading materials.
looks legit. www.albertacanada.com ang website.

[gorgeous_mommie]

hi sis.. i wanna register din sana to get the alberta kit. where do i start sis? ty

[bubbles_sandy]

bubbles_sandy: not guarantee yun right?

sis, hindi nga 100 guaranteed.kaw pa mghanap ng employer thru online

i want to go to canada din 

[nelle21]

napansin ko lang, sept 08 pa nag start tong thread na to...

may question ako:

bakit need pang isama ang mga travel docs at medical ang mga dependents kahit hindi kasama sa application?

[rics]

Bec. dependents, more than likely, at some time after you have settled in Canada, you will also bring them in. The govt is projecting for statistics record, also for provincial budget record, the number of people coming in the country.

[nelle21]

^I also thought of that...

However, it is stated on the IMM form that the dependents will apply on their own if they want to go there. Parang, they will start from zero.

this is a BIG SCAM whatever it is. don't even think of trying. 60k?! for doing what?! they cannot even help you find or arrange for an employer themselves. if you are able to find it on your own, then you absolutely don't need them. you can do the application on your own.
