Canada Thread 5

[IamDindin]

^ hi sis!  Confusing ba? sorry. hehe Oo first time.  Last year kasi pinadala ko na yung documents ko sa relatives namin, kala ko na process na, yun pala hindi nila sinubmit yung application ko for provincial nominee, natulog lang yung documents ko.  So now, nag a arrange na naman ako ng new set of documents para ma process na talaga yung application ko.  General stream lang inaaplyan ko sis eh, hindi ako pwede sa online.  Distant relatives lang kasi ang pipirma sa akin.  I believe yung online is for family stream lang.

[scents01]

mga sis, may mga alam ba kayong filipino restaurants or filipino communities dyan?

[patchi2012]

^which province sis?, malawak kase ang canada e, pero dito sa TO, madaming pinoy resto at malaki ang pinoy community

[scents01]

^sa toronto sis

pano ba lifestyle ng mga pinoy dyan sis? relaxed lang ba o fast-paced?

[purplewanderer]

^sis, merong Max's at Steeles Avenue, Vaughan, ON

[scents01]

^busy ba mga pinoys dyan sis? o relax relax lang? yung tipong pag nagbakasyon ako magisa, may makakahalubilo ako? lol

[patchi2012]

^Kahit san naman siguro sis, kayod naman talaga mga pinoy,hehe pero don't worry puno naman pag weekend ang mga pinoy restos, dahil fam day, meron dyan along wilson and bathurst area. halos magkakasunod lang. Meron din in scarborough area, along lawrence and kennedy. Then may casa manila din along york mills and don mills.

if you're catholic, assumption church along bathurst is a filo community church. kailan vacay mo sis? maganda pag spring kase tunaw na ang snow, or summer pero yun nga lang mainit. pero masarap mag long drive nun, try to visit niagara.

[jhandee]

Uwi na parents ko, di na kinaya ang lamig, daming allergies ng mom ko and rayuma sa father ko. Balik na lang sila pag summer dun.

[scents01]

sis patchi, next month na sana punta ko dyan, sana maapprove agad visa ko, if not 1st week of march. anong climate na ba nun? do i need to buy thermal clothes?

[patchi2012]

^February is winter pa sis up to march. though medyo di nga masyadong malamig ang winter ngayon e, just like last year din, which is good. lowest lang dito this time is -7 ata. unlike the other other year na, abot -27. plus sunny na dito though single digit pa din ang temp. at positive na, pero unpredictable talaga weather dito. Kaya better prepare ka nalang.

[scents01]

^may mga filipino gatherings ba dyan pag weekend? aside sa niagara falls, meron pang must see?

[patchi2012]

^ CN tower sis, Casa Loma castle, if summer sana madami dahil open ang canada's wonderland and also yung mga orchard for picking.

di po counted ang master's degree na nakuha dito right? tama po ba? planning to upgrade na lang once i get there lol

[tanzislove]

Hay, have to re apply again-solo. denied kami as a family. ayaw talaga nila ng may special child :-(

[showermist]

I am sorry to hear that.

Kasi for a special child kasi dito, malaki ang pangangailangan nila. Magastos sila medically. May mga may sakit nga sa puso na nadeny eh. Kasi they will be requiring a lot of government help.

hindi. but if you're lucky, just like my friend na accountant--nagamit nya agad without upgrading.

swertihan din sis. may kakilala nga kaming seaman here na nagwo-work sa office ng asawa ko...na swertihan nya rin na natanggap sya although 1 out of 50 lang yata ang ganon ka swerte.

I got a job offer for a hospital in Vancouver. Pay is definitely better than what I get here in Atlanta but I'm not sure if the move is worth it. I've already settled here in georgia pero the opportunity that Canada is giving me is keeping me up all night.

[rics]

pay is higher in vancouver bec cost of living there is also very high specially if you live int he city.

[luckypal]

hi sisses,

what is the average salary for newly immigrated Filipinos in Vancouver? It's so hard to find out what's a fair salary compared to others who live here or even immigrants but they're from the US. UK or Oz.
