Starting Life in CANADA - Tips & Stories

[x-y]

so sis mas okay na maghanap na muna ako ng job offer prior to applying? wala pa rin kase akong ielts/toefl e

[honey-ecclaire]

oo mas maganda if makakuha ka ng employer pero for RN job mahirap daw yata na magland agad as RN dun,some live-in caregiver ang nakukuha then study again before makapag-work as RN

[bluerose25]

That's true hindi mo maggamit ang profession mo jan dito sa canada. dahil dito lahat need ng certification ultimo beautician kailangan. you need to study here again and take an exam to be an RN here. Pag care giver naman dapat may employer and sponsor ka dito for you to have working Visa

mga sis, ilang linggo bago dumating ang sulat from canada to pinas??? thanks po sa mga sasagot!

[wowry]

me and my hubby talagang sobrang inip na sa application namin as immigrant. we are thinking mag visit there for a month at maghanap ng work. is that possible?

[sarsingkit]

i'm not sure about sa possibility pero very costly sis yung iniisip mo. lalo na dalawa pa kayo na babyahe going to Canada. and if you have pending immigrant application, matinding question ata mangyayari sa inyo nyan sa embassy pag nag-apply kayo ng tourist.

[wowry]

sorry sis forgot to add details my hubby's sis canadian citizen na so free na house namin then plane tickets 10% lang babayaran ko kasi i'm a flight attendant. but if we visit there,possible ba i-hire kami doon while on visit visa? my agency told us pwede rin daw mag-aral kami doon to get working permit but mas costly yon right? naguguluhan kami.

[honey-ecclaire]

if my pending application ka na nga,doubful ang immigration sa purpose mo...matagal ka na bang naghihintay for the visa?...their cleaning their baclogs kase eh so baka konting hintay na lang eh dumating na yung sa inyo...

[lonelymiss28]

hindi ka mabibigyan ng working visa pag tourist visa ang hawak mo. i know somebody na ganon ang papel nya at nag stay sya dito for 6 years tapos pinauwi pa rin ng immigration at sabi sa kanya the moe you stay sa canada na ganon ang papel mas lalong magkaka problema papel nya.

[wowry]

Thank you mga sis. so visit visa is not a good idea. 2 years na kami naghihintay. I'm not getting any younger i'm 29 and we really want to have kids na but we want sana settled na kami sa canada muna before that. what if we visited and got a job offer and the employer is willing to process our work permit possible ba yon? that's one of the option na sinabi ng agency namin e or mas okay mag-aral sa canada to get a work permit?

[charmedPrue]

^ sis same tayo ng goal in life. Bata ka pa, I'm 32yrs old na and hubby and I still don't have kids because we wanted to get settled in Canada first. My hubby's sister is a Canadian citizen as well. We aleeady did what you're thinking and sadly, hindi sya nagwork. No employer will give you a job offer if you don't have a SIN number, kahit pa yan maliliit na carinderia. Believe me, we tried...

So sit back there and apply from the Philippines. We've been waiting since 2008 for an opening, lagi kasi kami nasasarhan or not eligible...

[sarsingkit]

mas mahigpit kasi sa Canada compared sa US when it comes to working without proper papers. hintay ka pa sis @wowry ng konti. Provincial nominee ba kayo? saan province? medyo matagal kasi talaga yun.

[kwinchesters]

Parang pakonti na ng pakonti ang chance nating maging immigrant. Si hubby nga 16 yrs na ang application sa US wala pa din, paano pa kaya sa Canada na wala kaming relatives. Paano kung may employer na mag sponsor, is it wise na dalin kaming buo ng hubby ko as a family o antaying maging PR sya?

[roxykarlo]

^mas mainam ata kung may valid job offer ka, with positive LMO, mas madali makapag acquire ng working visa. regarding sa pagkuha sa family, it all depends on your work. if you NOC falls on 0, A & B (skilled workers), then by all means they can accompany you to Canada. But if your NOC falls on C & D (semi-skilled and low-skilled) then, there is no chance, except if the employer agrees to nominate you for PN. For PR, i think it will be after 3years of continuous work, puwede na mag-apply, am i right? c hubby nga, sinabihan dun na di bastabasta na ngayon manging PR. Sa McDonald's Grande Prairie, Alberta siya. yung mga managers nga dun na ga Pinoy, 5 years na, di pa rin makuha kuha kanilang family. kaya medyo matagaltagal talaga bago kami makuha. haay..

[lonelymiss28]

^ sis depende nga talaga sa province kasi mga ngawo-work sa burger king dito sa amin (new brunswick) 2 yrs lang apply na sila ng pr. and after 6 mos or 1 yr pwede na makuha family, kahit pa di pr.

[eischied_21]

hi mga sis, tanong ko lang kun magaaply as immigrant how much ang needed na show money? TIA

[wowry]

nasa toronto sis ni hubby so doon din sana kami. may naka-try na po sa inyo mag-aral sa canada to get work permit? agency told us if i secure master's degree or a two year post college degree, i'd be given daw 3 years open work permit then a chance to get PR after a year of working in canada and my hubby will get the same.

[honey-ecclaire]

hi mga sis, tanong ko lang kun magaaply as immigrant how much ang needed na show money? TIA

sa BIL ko family sila around 700-800k


Toronto city na kase sis kaya mas mahirap ang mga requirements and next year may bagong policies na naman sila per province para sa PN and PR...
