Canadian Immigration Thread [Merged]

[cardo]

hey guys....

to those in canada or US... kumusta ang employment for someone in the IT industry? for someone Experienced? Stiff pa rin ba? I hear the unemployment rate in the US is going down.

thanks

Voltes V,

"Before you come here nga pala, dont forget to bring your limpak limpak na salapi, 10,000 canadian dollars to be exact for show money. Isa sa mga requirements kasi yon for new immigrants. As in bibilangin nila yon on the same day na pagdating mo sa Immigration."

Is this true? you mean every cents? Proof of bank account, di pwede?

To Cardo

The I.T. industry is still down to many programmers to few jobs and the remaining jobs are slowly being outsourced to india. My friends at hsbc are being asked to get retraining so they can be transferred to a different dept.

[Karding]

Dannyboy, this is a rough estimate. State income tax in California is 25% and Federal income tax is 10% of your salary. Someon in Cali please correct me if Im wrong

Mabuti yung mag share ka muna ng apartment sa friend mo, para pareho kayong maka save lalo. Kung mag public transportation ka lang, mas lalong malaki ma-save mo.

Cardo, down pa din ang IT industry gaya ng sabi ni GasJunkie especially sa field na pede nilang outsource sa ibang bansa. Yung stable na IT field eh yung physically required ka to be on location and not over the phone or telecommute.

Hello OiC65, Yes its very true. before we came here sa canada pinagpayuhan ako ng friend ko who came here before me to have the cash ready as soon as we landed kasi bibilangin talaga nila sa harap mo .Surely enough that's exactly what they did, and yes every cent. Hindi pwede proof of bank account. I guess the canadian government really wants to make sure na kaya nating mabuhay on our own here during the first few weeks of unemployment. But according other pinoy immigrants hindi sila binilangan, so I guess depende rin sa immigration officer na mapapatapat sa iyo. Pero to be safe, mas maganda dala dala mo na yung cash than have the risk of going back home to pinas sooner than expected.

Bro, congrats naka pag file ka na. Mag-isa ka lang ba, o kasama mo family mo?
Federal skilled ang category na applicable para sa mga nakaraming nagbabalak. 67 points pa rin ba ang required? San sa Canada mo balak mag-settle?

2-3 years daw ang waiting time ngayon.
Paano mo inayos yung financials mo? 400k plus ata ang show money/liquid assets required kung mag-isa ka lang pupunta.

Tama lang na huwag mo na idaan sa consultant. Madali lang naman sundin ang procedure ng Canadian Embassy.

chase sa regina ako pupunta nandun kasi tiyo ko ....di ko matandaan ang noc classification ko pero "sales manager" ako based sa work ko and employment contract ko.... sinama ko na rin ang sec papers ng company kasi family business ito and kasama naman name ko sa corporation papers
kaya sinama ko na rin di ko lang alam kung mapapabilis ang application ko dahil di naman indemand ang occupation ko pero pre med ang tinapos ko so totally di sya related



MGAM

mag isa lang ako nag apply nag babakasakali


financials ko?
nagpakuha lang ako ng bank certificate (babayad ka ng 100 sa bangko kung saan ka may deposito) may savings naman po kasi ako talaga and sapat naman po sha dun sa required na amount kasi 4 years na ako nag tratrabaho

It got a visitor's visa the same day i applied but that was back 1997. I never used it coz after a week I got my immigrant visa. It took a year and 5 months for me from filing to getting a visa (independent immigrant).

My suggestion for you if you want better paying jobs and more jobs is to go to Ontario (Metro Toronto). BTW, I lived in Vancouver for 5 years but if i could turn back the time, i would go straight to Toronto.

sandali lang yun less than 3 months or even weeks lang check mo na lng sa http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/manila/...gcanada-en.asp drop box lang ata and wait for their reply para sa interview mo less than 4k lang ata processing fee for tourist

i got my tourist visa in less than a week last year lang ito
kasi di pa expired australian visa ko and di ko ma recall ang explanation ng nag aasikaso ng travel documents namin e parang if you just came from aus or nz in less than a year madali na lang daw ang processing ng visa for canada and waived ang interview thats why medyo mabilis.

sa case naman ng kakilala ko call sya for sched after 3days may appointment na sya then after interview oks na ---feb this year lang ito

Malaki yata backlog ng Canadian Embassy ngayon. I heard that they are still processing applications for 2003 applicants.

For single immigrant applicant, I think you need at least 400K as show money and for Family of 4, mga 1.2 Million yata ang requirement ngayon.

May nagsasabi pang Canadian Airport will check if you indeed bring the required funds upon arrival at the terminal. Pero not sure though, kasi di naman alllowed yata magdala ka ng million bucks out of the country.

A single independent immigrant is required to have at least Can$10K upon entering port of entry. Some will ask you proof, some will just ask.
