^^Hi sis. thanks for the input.. actually MBA holder hubby ko. kaso yon line of work nya for the past 10yrs w/c is insurance manager eh parang di kasama sa noc list nila ng 2008. pero we got 85 points(not french speaking kasi kaya we only got that points) automatic na pasok na kaya kami sa FSW kung ganyan kahit na wala sa NOC list ang occupation ni hubby?

[abie]

^hi sis! may bagong list  ng NOC as of June 26, 2010. naka-post sa CANADA thread. baka pwede si hubby mo sa NOC 1233 (Insurance Adjusters and Claims Examiners).

i cannot find canada's education system when it comes to tertiary or college. do PRs pay for their kid's college education? sa Australia kasi sobrang maliit lang ang amount na babayarin basta sa government univ mag-aaral ang bata tapos the kid can pay for his educ thru his tax pagnagwo-work na sya. how about canada? what's their ruling with regards to this?

sis maine, how did you get that live-in caregiver program? im a registered nurse here kasi in the Philippines but i would want to work rin sa canada as a caregiver... help naman please...

thanks in advance!

I also suggest submitting your resume to Sapphire Canada (http://www.sapphireca.com/) when you get here. Agency sila that will help you find a job in the IT field here in Vancouver. They were the ones who usually recruit employees for our company. I am actually one of them

Hi sis, do you think even we're still here in Manila we can submit our application? Hubby and I are both in IT.

College education is paid by parents or kids themselves. Pwede mag-apply ng student loan. Then I think after matapos yung course tsaka babayaran. Hindi ko lang alam kung paano yung payment after and hindi ko alam kung paano yung process ng application. Hindi kasi ako nag loan eh.

Ayy sis hindi ko lang alam. Pwede mo i-try

[cheerylion]

^Hi sis, thanks for your reply. We have registered to Sapphire. They emailed back naman nung merong job opening. Pero wala naman reply na nung naipasa na namin application sa client nila. Gaya nga ng sabi mo at least we tried.

I want to migrate here in Canada but I dont have enough money today

[michelledm]

Sissies, I hope anyone of you could answer all my queries. Plan kasi naming ni hubby mag migrate to Canada under Manitoba provincial nominee program kaso parang feeling ko marami kaming magiging problema. First of all, kailangan daw meron properties si hub kaso wala. Kung meron man siya pwede maging asset Computer shop lang niya under his name pero hindi yung lupa kasi sa dad niya yun and also his car under his name also, more than that wala na..  The good thing there sana is meron naman kami pwede manghiram na properties. Like itong house nila sa makati pwede sana muna naming ipalipat sa pangalan ni hub, pwede kaya yun?  Yung bank statement naman, ewan kung malulusutan din namin kasi last month lang namin yun in-open may laman 12k US dollars. We never saved money, since sakto lang kinikita ng computer shop namin that’s why we decided to grab this opportunity habang willing to help family ni hub. And how true na 1 year lang processing ng Provincial nominee?

Thanks in advance sa makakasagot ng questions ko…

pa-join po want to know more about this

Pls help! sorry don't have time to backread. Me and my hubby are currently applying as immigrants to canada.About proof of funds. Kailangan ba talaga na hindi mo gagalawin yung proof of funds mo sa bank for 6months?what if nabawasan mo pero naibalik mo rin naman,is there a big chance na ma-reject ang application nyo?tinatanggap ba ang house and lot as part of proof of funds kahit wala pa [textspeak!] titulo ng lupa kasi under Pagibig pa?what about contribution sa pag-ibig pwede rin ba yun sa proof of funds?TIA

[rics]

For proof of funds, mas maganda, and the embassy would consider if its liquid assests. Ok lang naman na labas pasok ang pera sa bank pero dapat nadadagdagan hindi puro bawas lang. I dont htink Pag-ibig contribution can be counted in the proof of funds, pati yung bahay at lupa, kung hindi pa yata fully paid ito.

[wowry]

Thank you so  much sis rics! last na lang pls.what about bank letter na lang ipasa ko stating my current account balance?is that possible?TIA
