[|ceman]

---

Sa ma remember nako sa iyang advise bro ha (if my memory serves me right, lisud raba ni kasaligan esp. wa kay ko ni pay ug attention hehe), he said, if you really love the girl and serious bout her, get married first before leaving for Canada, then if naa naka did2 (take note ikaw ra usa ni adto una), you can sponsor and process her paper for her visa para mu apas xa sa Canada, it will take around 6 mos. only, he even advise me na be stable first sa Canada aron di na mo mag lisud before letter her go after, in that way, you can save time, effort and money of going back to PH just to marry her then balik napud ka Canada for the processing of her visa....hope this helps

On my personal experience, in all fairness to Consul Lee, he's been very helpful on my transition to Canada, he's been helping me contacting people in the place I'll be migrating and he's been giving me sensible advice, even his wife has been advising me on what to bring or not.

As to the case of marrying before migrating, thou he gave me the advise (caveat: if I remember it right)I didn't give much important to it since it has not been my case..., I'm really sorry to hear bout Ma Meng's case, hope he/she can share his/her experience here aron ma educated pud mga hopefuls.

BTW, just saw sa tv patrol last night na mas ni strict na jud kuno ang Canada on their guidelines for granting visa esp. for the skilled, may nalng naka lusot pako hehehe, FYI

mao ba bai.. samot nami ani. ka guol sad anang balitaa oi.. ;(

ngno nag strict naman sila ron sis joan?

it is because of the changing job landscape sa canada karon. they are now experiencing somewhat flooding of applicants (fast track plus the older/slower system) and the changes in work demands there in canada. Mao nga sa fast track nga 38 priority jobs and down na to 29 and the quota is also in place na. As what i have heard karon, even architects naa na sa 800 ka applicants starting June 26. Thats in a matter of few months lang. So doul nalang sa 1000 cap nila for the year. How much more sa nurses? Strict na pud sila sa system mo migrate plastaranay na daan sa requirements unlike sa previous system pwede inanay ang dagan sa requirements.


This is also reported 2 nights ago sa abs-cbn tv patrol manila.

$495/mth to live in a basement?? RIDICULOUS. In that price, you can get yourself a very nice room.

It's really difficult to get a basement/room for $300. If you can find one though, but most likely the place must be sucks. To tell you honestly, don't get a basement. It's very demeaning, horrible, and depressing; living underground it's like those Jewish families in WWII dwelling in a attic to hide themselves from the Nazis. It surprised me most because it's a common trend for newly-arrived Filipinos here are mostly living in someone else's basement.

Hi FAQ, are you staying in Calgary? well, maybe its just for my initial landing, since I'm still transferring, I don't mind the thought of it, maybe it will be for the meantime while I will still be searching for a job or maybe finding a better place to transfer. Anyways, would you know the price range of a decent room for rent in a decent place that is near the bus stop, malls or other significant places?

@mini, thanks for the info
